Today comes news of the most important development yet: according to this report, Canada's privacy commissioner is going to investigate some of the abusive practices of the Canadian Human Rights Commission that were revealed in that March 25th hearing -- specifically that CHRC staff illegally stole access to a private citizen's wireless Internet connection, in order to cover their tracks.

Following a subpoena, Bell Canada revealed that one "Jadewarr" post in a chat room had originated from an Internet address belonging to Nelly Hechme, a woman who lives in an Ottawa high-rise close to the commission's office. Hechme, 26, who apparently had an unsecured wireless Internet link, was reportedly dumbfounded by the use of her account and denied any connection to Steacy or the rights agency. "We have to determine exactly what happened. It seems to be unauthorized access of the network then misrepresentation," McKay said. "If your neighbour did it to you, you'd be justifiably upset, so to have a government institution undertake that sort of activity would seem poorly considered." Lemire has launched a criminal complaint, arguing rights investigators breached four sections of the Criminal Code that bar unauthorized use of telecommunications devices and computers.

WiFi Stealing:

 

 

Nelly Hechme lives on Laurier Ave West in Ottawa , Ontario . The Canadian Human Rights Commission is at 344 Slater Street , Ottawa , Ontario . About 1 block away, across an open field. A distance easily travelled by w WiFi signal. A wireless scan done outside the CHRC’s office shows numerous unsecured wireless access points in range. How many others have been similarly targeted by the out of control Human Rights Commission?
