Interesting Turn of Events with David Ahenakew

I was taken aback when I saw on the news last night that David Ahenakew was on trail for spreading hate. I had always assumed that as member of the First Nations he had gotten a free pass from the government for his vile attack on the Jews.

The bad news for David Ahenakew is he is not contrite.

"So you still believe today, in 2005, that the Jewish people started the Second World War?" Crown prosecutor Brent Klause asked Ahenakew.

"Yes," he responded.

Even worse is his choice of lawyers, Doug Christie, who always seems to be the lawyer of choice whenever a neo-nazi ends up in the Canadian courts. His defense that Ahenakew's speech where he attacked the Jews at a public meeting, with members of the media present no less, is actually a private conversation, is ludicrous.

If this is best Christie can do then Ahenakew will end up convicted just like most of Christie's client end up. What happens next is going to be interesting. Will the judge subcumb to political correctness and let Ahenakew off? And, if he is convicted, will the government do the right thing and strip him of his Order of Canada?
