wrote a column about "Swindler's List" and commented on the preponderance of Jews in Hollywood. He and his paper had to
defend themselves before the British Columbia Human Rights Commission, which, in the end, ruled in his favor, after his
paper spent more than $200,000 and Collins spent $50,000 of his own money. Barely had he won the case when he was
re-charged - for the same column, along with three others!
Dr. Robert Countess
Vilified by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and the intervenor lawyers in the most recent Political Show
Trial case of Ernst Zьndel.
Background and contribution:
The American Revisionist, former army chaplain, lecturer, writer and globe-trotting good-will ambassador,
Dr. Robert Countess, was targeted for a special smear- and vilification campaign by Jewish intervenors at
the Zьndel CHRT Inquisition in Toronto in June 1998. He was sneeringly denied expert witness status, even though he was
completely familiar with all the major works discussed and had been in touch with most authors, even in person, dealing with
the Holocaust topic - pro and con. Dr. Countess left the "People's Republic of Canada", as he called it, for the safety and
constitutionally governed and protected USA, from where he vowed to carry on the struggle for freedom of speech with still
greater vigor.

"Niezrozumiala polityka premiera Kanady...
Najpierw Oswiecim, pozniej Warszawa"
W sobote 23 stycznia premier Kanady Jean Chretien
przybedzie z oficjalna wizyta do Polski. Program pobytu
przewiduje, najpierw odwiedzenie bylych obozow
koncentracyjnych Oswiecim-Brzezinka, nastepnie w
poniedzialek, 25 stycznia przybycie do Warszawy, gdzie
odbedzie sie oficjalne powitanie premiera Chretiena.
Program bobytu premiera Kanady przewiduje miedzy innymi
rozmowy z premierem Jerzym Buzkiem oraz prezydentem RP
Aleksandrem Kwasniewskim.
Jak podaje "The Globe and Mail" oraz "The Canadian Jewish
News", w skladzie rzadowej delegacji udajacej z oficjalna
wizyta do Polski, znalezli sie takze przedstawiciele Kongresu
Zydow Kanadyjskich. Na specjalne zaproszenie premiera
Jean Chretiena do waskiej ekipy towarzyszacych mu gosci
dolaczyli sie prezes CJC Moshe Ronen oraz jeden z
dyrektorow tegoz Kongresu, Jack Silverstone. Obydwaj
przybeda do Warszawy z ojcami, ktorzy sa bylymi wiezniami
obozu zaglady w Oswiecimiu-Brzezince. Odwiedzenie
najwiekszego cmentarza swiata, jest jednym z istotniejszych
punktow programu wizyty premiera Chretiena.
Poniewaz kanadyjska delegacja wylatuje do Polski w sobote,
czyli w dniu Sabatu, zydowscy goscie - cytujemy za "The
Canadian Jewish News" - powitaja Jean Chretiena juz w
Warszawie. Kongres Polonii Kanadyjskiej zwrocil sie do szefa
tzw. PMO (Prime Minister's Office), Petera Sparksa z prosba
o uwzglednienie w skladzie delegacji takze kilku
przedstawicieli KPK. Niestety - jak nas poinformowala
sekretarz generalna Zarzadu Glownego KPK Alicja Gettlich
premier odmowil uwzgelednienia prosby Zarzadu Glownego
KPK. Peter Sparks powiedzal, ze decyzja dotyczaca wizyty
premiera Kanady w bylych obozach smierci z
przedstawicielami tylko grupy zydowskiej zostala podjeta "ze
wzgledow tylko premierowi znanych - jest to wizyta prywatna
i premier moze na nia zaprosic kogo chce". Przedstawiciel
premiera dodal, ze podczas swojej oficjalnej wizyty w Polsce,
premier jako glowa panstwa, reprezentuje wszystkich
Kanadyjczykow, i ze nie mial on zamiaru obrazac zadnej
grupy etnicznej. O tej kompromitujacej decyzji poinformujemy
Panstwa w kolejnym wydaniu "Zwiazkowca".
Ponizszy komunikat ZG Kongresu Polonii Kanadyjskiej
dotyczy wizyty kanadyjskiego premiera J. Chretien'a w
Oswiecimiu 24 stycznia br. Premier zaprosil, aby go tam
towarzyszyc, delegacje z Zydowskiego Kongresu w Kanadzie
na koszt panstwa kanadyjskiego. Podobnego zaproszenia nie
otrzymal KPK pomimo interwencji i protestow.
Jest to kolejnym - i wybitnym - dowodem, ze judaizacja
Oswiecimia jest faktem dokonanym na Zachodzie. Mozna
przypuszczac, ze jesli zostanie usuniety krzyz papieski z terenu
zwirowiska, za kilka lat zupelnie zaniknie - i tak juz slabiutka
swiadomosc, ze w Oswiecimiu rowniez zgineli Polacy.

This appeal called into question the constitutionality of the statutory scheme providing for the deportation of a permanent resident on
conviction of a serious criminal offence. The main appeal concerned the removal of a ground of appeal from a deportation order and the
procedure by which that removal is effected. The cross-appeal attacked the general statutory scheme.
Respondent was identified in an immigration report made by an immigration officer in January 1986 pursuant to s. 27 of the
Immigration Act, 1976, as a permanent resident convicted of an offence for which a term of imprisonment of five years or more may be
imposed and therefore a person described in s. 27(1)(d)(ii). An adjudicator, after an inquiry attended by appellant and his counsel, found
respondent to be a person described in that section and ordered him deported. The hearing of respondent's appeal to the Immigration
Appeal Board against the deportation order, brought pursuant to s. 72(1), was adjourned after the Solicitor General and the Minister of
Employment and Immigration made a joint report to the Security Intelligence Review Committee pursuant to s. 82.1(2) indicating
respondent to be a person reasonably likely to engage in organized crime.
The Review Committee conducted the required investigation and held a hearing. Prior to the hearing respondent was provided with
a document giving background information as to the hearing and summaries of information. A summary of the evidence taken in in
camera proceedings of this hearing and provided to respondent indicated that evidence was led that respondent, together with certain
named individuals, was a member of a criminal organization which engaged in extortion and drug related activities and that respondent
personally took part in the extortion and drug related activities of the organization. The information made available to respondent and
the criminal records of respondent and his associates were before the Committee when he appeared and was asked to respond.
Counsel for respondent objected to the fairness and constitutionality of the proceeding.
The Review Committee reported to the Governor in Council, pursuant to s. 82.1(6)(a), that respondent was a person there are
reasonable grounds to believe will engage in organized crime as described in s. 19(1)(d)(ii). The Governor in Council adopted the
conclusion of the Review Committee and directed the appellant Minister to issue a certificate under s. 83(1) with respect to respondent's
appeal to the Immigration Appeal Board from the deportation order. This certificate was issued, with the result that respondent's appeal
would have to be dismissed in so far as it was brought pursuant to s. 72(1)(b).
The hearing of the appeal was adjourned when respondent gave notice that he intended to raise constitutional questions before the
Board and three questions were referred to the Federal Court of Appeal for determination. The court found that: (1) ss. 27(1)(d)(ii) and
32(2) of the Immigration Act, 1976, did not infringe ss. 7, 12 or 15 of the Charter; (2) ss. 82.1 and 83 did not infringe ss. 12 or 15 of the
Charter but the question as to whether they contravened s. 7 was not a question that the Board could refer to the Court pursuant to
s. 28(4) of the Federal Court Act; and (3) the Board would, in relying upon the certificate, violate respondent's rights under s. 7 and this
violation was not justified under s. 1.
The constitutional questions stated in this Court queried whether: (1) ss. 82.1 and 83 of the Immigration Act, 1976 infringed s. 7 of the
Charter, and if so, whether that infringement was justified under s. 1; (2) whether reliance upon the certificate authorized by s. 83 of the
Act filed in respondent's case infringed s. 7 because the process followed by the Security Intelligence Review Committed did not meet
the requirements of s. 7.
The respondent in the main appeal was granted leave to cross-appeal, and the constitutional questions stated there queried whether
ss. 27(1)(d)(ii) and 32(2) of the Act infringed ss. 7, 12 and 15 of the Charter in that they required the deportation of persons convicted of
an offence carrying a maximum punishment of five years or more, without reference to the circumstances of the offence or the offender,
and if so, whether that infringement was justified under s. 1.
Held: The appeal should be allowed and the cross-appeal dismissed. With respect to the main appeal, assuming without deciding
that s. 7 is applicable, ss. 82.1 and 83 of the Immigration Act, 1976, do not infringe or deny the rights guaranteed by s. 7 of the Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms and reliance upon the certificate authorized by s. 83 of the Immigration Act, 1976, did not result in an
infringement of s. 7 having regard to the process followed by the Security Intelligence Review Committee. With respect to the
cross-appeal, the requirement that persons convicted of an offence carrying a maximum punishment of five years or more be deported,
without reference to the circumstances of the offence or the offender, does not offend s. 15, or ss. 7 or 12 assuming without deciding that
these sections applied.
The Court must look to the principles and policies underlying immigration law in determining the scope of principles of fundamental
justice as they apply here. The most fundamental principle of immigration law is that non-citizens do not have an unqualified right to
enter or remain in the country. The common law recognizes no such right and the Charter recognizes the distinction between citizens
and non-citizens. While permanent residents are given the right to move to, take up residence in, and pursue the gaining of a livelihood
in any province in s. 6(2), only citizens are accorded the right "to enter, remain in and leave Canada" in s. 6(1). Parliament therefore has
the right to adopt an immigration policy and to enact legislation prescribing the conditions under which non-citizens will be permitted to
enter and remain in Canada. It has done so in the Immigration Act.
A permanent resident has a right to remain in Canada only if he or she has not been convicted of a more serious offence -- one for
