Richard Warman's 'Maximum Disruption' Approach: Defamation Suits, Criminal Complaints, Section 13 cases and even Copyright Act lawsuits

Richard Warman is one of Canada’s leading serial complainants.  Richard Warman described his tactic of filing complaints as “Maximum Disruption” in a speech he gave to a group called Anti-Racist Action.  According to Mr. Warman; “This approach involved working with the police, the Canadian Human Rights Commission and other organizations to create "maximum disruption" within what he perceives to be the Neo-Nazi movement in Canada.”

Here is a list of some of the lawsuits and other complaints he has filed:

Who is Richard Warman? Racist Government Lawyer

Complaints filed to CHRC: 26 Former employee and investigator at the Canadian Human Rights Commission In December 2006, the Law Society shows he works for the Department of National Defence Education: degree in Drama from Queens University Member: Law Society of Upper Canada and EGALE Canada Gave a Keynote speech to the Violent Anti-Racist Action Warman is a frequent poster on "Neo-Nazi" Stormfront website Warman is a frequent poster on "Neo-Nazi"  VNN website. Pretends to be a woman named “Lucie”  Has signed his posts with “88” (according to Warman means: Heil Hitler) Has called Senator Anne Cools a "nigger" and a "c*nt" on the internet Canadian Human Rights Tribunal have ruled that Warman's hate postings are “..both disappointing and disturbing” and Warman’s postings “…could have precipitated further hate messages in response.”   The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal described Richard Warman as: He [Warman] advised the Tribunal that he has spent 15 years campaigning against hate messages. About five years ago, he focused on the internet. Although he was not qualified as an expert, I allowed him to provide some background on the material that was entered into evidence. Para 8: Warman v Warman ruling Mr. Warman is a resident of Ottawa. He has developed an interest in human rights issues over the past 15 years, and is actively involved in anti-racism groups. For a time, he worked for the Commission. Most recently, he has focussed his attention on hate propaganda disseminated through the Internet, by monitoring the Internet activity of what he describes as extreme right-wing and neo-Nazi groups. Para 4: Warman v. Kulbashian et all. [64] Mr. Warman has, with the assistance of the Commission, instituted most of the s. 13 (1) complaints under the Act that have come before the Tribunal. He has been very successful in these cases and has garnered accolades for his work in this regard. The evidence in this case of his participation on Internet sites similar to the Northern Alliance site is both disappointing and disturbing. It diminishes his credibility. For this reason and because the activities of the Respondents have ceased for a lengthy period of time, I will not make any further Orders in this matter.  Para 64:   Warman v. Northern Alliance   [63] I do not see any acceptable reason for Mr. Warman to have participated on the Stormfront or Vanguard sites, since there appears to be ample easily obtained messages on these sites available without his involvement. Moreover, it is possible that his activity in this regard, could have precipitated further hate messages in response. His explanation for including other hate messages in his postings by mistake seems very weak to me. Why should Richard Warman be the only citizen to have his own personal inquisition? Who has availed themselves of the "human rights" protected by Section XIII? In its entire history, over half of all cases have been brought by a sole "complainant," one Richard Warman. Indeed, Mr. Warman has been a plaintiff on every single Section XIII case before the federal "human rights" star chamber since 2002 — and he's won every one. That would suggest that no man in any free society anywhere on the planet has been so comprehensively deprived of his human rights. Well, no. Mr. Warman doesn't have to demonstrate that he's been deprived of his human rights, only that it's "likely" (i.e. "highly un-") that someone somewhere will be deprived of some right sometime. Who is Richard Warman? What's his story? Well, he's a former employee of the Canadian Human Rights Commission: an investigator. Same as Shirlene McGovern.  Isn't there something a little odd in a supposedly necessary Canadian federal "human rights" system used all but exclusively by one lone Canadian who served as a long-time employee of that system? Why should Richard Warman be the only citizen to have his own personal inquisition? You can hardly blame the Canadian Islamic Congress and the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada and no doubt the Supreme All- Powerful Islamic Executive Council of Swift Current, Sask., for now figuring they'd like a piece of the human rights action. Macleans Magazine January 17, 2008 Warman and the Canadian Human Rights Commission Richard Warman held various positions at the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Sometime in 2004 he was no longer employed with the Commission. During his time at the commission, he was the investigator on the Saskatoon-Humboldt MP Jim Pankiw CHRC complaint. Media Reports on Warman acting as CHRC investigator (April 2004 timeframe)   To date, Richard Warman has filed 26 complaints against named respondents with his former employer - the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

Warman case: "I have an honours Bachelor of Arts in drama. I have an LL.B., as well as an LL.M., and I am a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada." Transcripts, Warman v Warman Page 38 Law Society of Upper Canada   In December 2006, the Law Society of Upper Canada lists Mr. Warman as working for the Department of National Defence: See Complete Member profile - Law Society Web page Richard Warman is a member of EGALE   According the Homosexual oriented xtra! magazine on July 13, 2007:  "Warman, an Egale Canada member and a federal civil servant..." xtra! article - July 13, 2007 EGALE describes itself as "Egale Canada advances equality and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-identified people, and their families, across Canada." Alberta Human Rights Commission   In the Alberta Human Rights Information Service August 7, 2003, described Mr. Warman as: Warman v. Kyburz In this case, the complainant was a lawyer of Jewish heritage who filed a complaint against an individual who had a Web site that he claimed discriminated against persons of Jewish heritage. After finding that the Web site would expose an identifiable group to hatred or contempt, the tribunal balanced that against the freedom of speech. The tribunal followed the precedent set by the Supreme Court of Canada in finding that the restriction of free speech was necessary to curtail hate propaganda. Alberta HRC website or PDF Print of website   Richard Warman speaking notes to his keynote speech to the violent Anti-Racist Action, Mr. Warman described his motivation to file complaints: On July 6th, 2006, Richard Warman gave a keynote speech to the ARA in Toronto entitled “Maximum Disruption: Stopping Neo-Nazi’s by (Almost) any means necessary” In the speech Mr. Warman says: “I’ve come to the conclusion that I can be most effective by using what I like to describe as a ‘maximum disruption’ approach.  … If I think that they’ve violated the Canadian Human Rights Act, then I’ll look at all of the potential targets and file complaints against them starting on a ‘worst offender’ basis, although sometimes if I just find people to be particularly annoying this may move them up the list a bit” Warman continues: “The ‘maximum disruption’ part comes in because wherever I think it will be most helpful, or even if I just feel it will be the most fun, I strongly believe in hitting the neo-nazis on as many of these fronts as possible either at the same time or one after the other. I say this because it keeps them off-balance and forces them to respond to things that focus their energies on defending themselves…” Full text of Warman's Speech to the ARA   Warman has been awarded close to $50,000 (tax-free) for his "hurt feelings" $30,000 Date: Case #: Against: CHRT Ruling: 9-May-03 T726_3102 FRED KYBURZ "Mr. Kyburz shall pay to Mr. Warman the sum of $15,000 as special compensation, pursuant to subsection 54(1)(b) of the Act; section 14.1 violation: ii) Mr. Kyburz shall pay to Mr. Warman the sum of $15,000 for Mr. Warman's pain and suffering; $5,000 Date: Case #: Against: CHRT Ruling: 10-Mar-06 T869/11903 Alexan Kulbashian $5,000 as special compensation pursuant to s. 54(1)(b)  $5,500 Date: Case #: Against: CHRT Ruling: 13-Apr-06 T1021/0205 Tomasz Winnicki $500 for pain and suffering  AND $5,000 special compensation, pursuant to s. 53(3) of the Act. $3,000 Date: Case #: Against: CHRT Ruling: 26-Oct-07 T1106/8705 Jessica Beaumont $3,000 in special compensation, pursuant to s. 54(1)(b) Total to Oct 27, 2007:  $48,500
