Hate-crime charge triggers wave of Internet anti-Semitism

The case of a Regina man charged with promoting hatred on the Internet has sparked an online wave of anti-Semitic comments.

On Wednesday morning, a long-time contributor to the white supremacist website stormfront.org issued an alert saying Terrence Tremaine - known online as mathdoktor99 and JCMateri - was being arrested and charged for his Internet postings.The contributor later added he had been in contact with Tremaine, who had been "held for five hours in a cold cell at the police station."

"He's been charged under Section 319 of the Criminal Code, Canada's notorious hate law," the post reads. "He's been completely gagged. His bail conditions state that he cannot own a computer or access the Internet. Yes, our sordid corrupt justice system becomes more corrupt each day. It's like when they took away Ernst Zundel's pencils."

Zundel is a notorious Holocaust denier who has previously been jailed under Canada's hate laws.

Tremaine, a former lecturer at the University of Saskatchewan, stands charged with wilful promotion of hatred for allegedly posting hateful messages on an Internet website between Feb. 1, 2004, and Nov. 1, 2007.

Early in 2007, a Human Rights Tribunal found Tremaine in violation of the Canadian Human Rights Act for his postings to a white supremacist website. The tribunal ordered Tremaine to stop disseminating such messages and pay a $4,000 fine.

On stormfront.org, news of Tremaine's charge drew posts from contributors purporting to be from locations around Canada, the United States and Britain, as well as in locations described as "Blue-eyed Blondia" and "Soviet Canuckistan."

"If there were no Jews or non-whites in Canada, this would not happen. When is the real problem going to be solved?" posted one contributor, whose location appeared as Lower Mainland, B.C.
