Nor can the Supreme Court of Canada claim any originality in the idea of presenting a biographic summary in chronological order.  Anyway, while you're quite right that an original article would be preferable, it would require more time and effort than I'm willing to put in.  If my rewrite is deemed a copyvio, then we'll just have to do without an article on Justice Laskin for now. JamesMLane 04:52, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: Calling it "antisemitism" for unidentified parties not to have hired the young Jewish law graduate (Bora Laskin) is blatant generalized defamation of non-Jews without proof.  
It is also manifestly unprincipled and illogical.  
How can you say that a man did not get a job specifically because of "antisemitism" when you haven't spoken to those who interviewed him?  Who obviously would not publish their views if those were their views?  And which therefore cannot be proven.
Moreover, the assumption is that the young Jewish law graduate was such a genius that nobody could possibly have refused to hire him on any ground except that of "antisemitism". This is an outrageous stance to take.  There are such things as corporate budgets, economic downturns, and the nephew of the senior partner's uncle who was going to get the job even if Einstein had applied.  
It is deeply resented that Wikipedia would sink to such low depths of blanket defamation of non-Jews in order to pump up the "poor Jewish victims" who are not victims at all.  
I once personally knew a Jewish poet who was in his late 30s.  He was not a great poet. He was a good translator of other people's poems, but he was not a great poet in his own right. Nonetheless, this man baldly asserted that McGill University had denied him the PRIZE for poetry because they were "antisemitic".  The prospect that other people might have written better poems was not admissible.  This is highly RACIST.  
The unsubstantiated nonsense about Bora Laskin's not getting hired on the spot as due to "antisemitism" is more outright anti-Gentile RACISM.  Please find something more intelligent to say about Bora Laskin, and drop the anti-Gentile racist hatchet somewhere other than in our backs.
Moreover, it would have been a good idea NOT to hire Bora Laskin, as he ended up leading a constitutional and parliamentary coup d'etat on Canada in 1982, as Chief Justice, when he failed, refused and/or neglected to expose the Trudeau clique for its constitutionally illegal package misnamed "patriation".  The one good word to describe Mr. Bora Laskin is TRAITOR. Which is a very good reason not to hire him at any time, and were he not deceased at this point, he ought to be tried for high treason and jailed.
And here's the substantiation:
