TORONTO – Can writing a sarcastic but clearly tame blog comment really land two cops at your doorstep?
It happened to Blazingcatfur blogger Arnie Lemaire Wednesday for musing “OISE and the TDSB need to be purged, or burnt to the ground whichever is more effective.”
He’s, quite rightfully, upset about it.
But, often critical of the Toronto District School Board and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Lemaire said he will not back down from efforts to “intimidate” him.
“Dear TDSB, You Can’t Silence Me,” was a headline on the blazingcatfur.blogspot in response.
But, what they clearly can do, is bring in the police to investigate.
In what can be described as more TDSB theatre of the absurd, an obscure six-week-old blog comment resulted in police visiting his home like one might see back in the day of the Stasi in communist East Germany.
“We received a knock at our door a little after 8 a.m.,” said Lemaire. “Two detectives from Toronto Police Services identified themselves and asked if they could come in to discuss a matter.”
Enter Det.-Consts. Irene Liska and Sergiy Lobanets, from 32 Division
Governments all over the world need some bad guys from the right side of the political spectre so they go for anything that moves.
Its pathetic and only bring shame to democracy.
In the long run it is this kind of actions who will kill our democracy.
I have not made any requests before. Can you do a piece on this:

I think the NSW anti discrimination commision are doing the OIC’s bidding bringing in Blasphemy Laws by deception.
Its treason.
