Can We Beat A "Human Rights" Commission?

Ezra Levant weighs in on the recent outcome of Rev. Stephen Boissoin's appeal. Which could have been a victory, if the process itself hadn't been the punishment:
So we know that there are two ways to beat an HRC. The first is to embarrass the hell out of them, like I did. That's the only reason they dropped their case against me.

The other way is to fight it all the way to a real court -- seven years -- spending money that you don't have, to finally get justice.

I've read the ruling. I don't propose to go through it line by line, though it's wonderful (I recommend this great exegesis by young Rebekah). It's great: it mocks the HRC's procedure; mocks their utter lack of legal smarts; mocks their disregard for trifles like evidence; mocks their arrogant attempt to be real police and real courts; mocks their bizarre and illegal punishments.
...
So the ruling by Justice Wilson is a slam dunk for Rev. Boissoin.

Except: so what?

These HRCs do not abide by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, so why the hell should they abide by some Queen's Bench judge?
That shows what kind of establishment we're dealing with, doesn't it? The only way for the people to beat the Orwellian tribunals and to win back their freedoms is to pressure all levels of government until those freedom-snatching commissions are disbanded and their mandate is transferred to the court of law - where truth is a defense, where rules of evidence apply and where one has the right to a fair trial.

Sure, you can embarrass them and accomplish a lot of sensationalism but no legal ruling or go to a real court, stay the course like we are called to do...trust God for the money because He always provides and in the end rejoice that a real legal ruling was established. No, certainly not as dramatic or entertaining but much more effective in the end.
