From Metapedia
Terry Tremaine (born July 20, 1948) is the founder and national director of the National Socialist Party of Canada. He was born in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Tremaine holds a B.A. in Mathematics (with a minor in Philosophy) from the University of Regina and a M.Sc. in Mathematics from Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. A former lecturer since 1983 he had taught mathematics and statistics at the University of Saskatchewan, Red Deer College in Red Deer, Alberta, Concordia University, Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and the College of the Bahamas in Nassau, Bahamas. Tremaine was fired from his position at the University of Saskatchewan in April 2005.
On April 8, 2005 Mr. Tremaine received a letter from the Canadian Human Rights Commission detailing a complaint filed against him by leftist lawyer Richard Warman. The complaint alledges that Tremaine had exposed Jews and other non-Whites to hatred and/or contempt in violation of section 13 article 1 of the Canadian Human Rights Act because of his writings, using the screen name mathdoktor99, on the White Nationalist site Stormfront. In late April the University of Saskatchewan, where Tremaine had been working as a sessional lecturer in Mathematics, received a fax from Richard Warman concerning Tremaine and detailing the complaint against him. As a result Tremaine was let go by the university.
After his dismissal, Tremaine spent some time in British Columbia.
In August, 2006 Tremaine appeared before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in Ottawa. He was represented by Paul Fromm during the hearing. At the hearing Tremaine repudiated his apology and emphasized that he was a National Socialist. At this point the Commission has yet to render a decision. The Tribunal received a letter from Fromm on September 13, 2006. In this letter, “Fromm requested that the case be re-opened to allow him to make a motion requesting that the complaint of Mr. Richard Warman be dismissed ‘because of a poisoned environment and harassment’ on him, as representative of the Respondent, Terry Tremaine.” This motion was denied on October 17, 2006.
On February 2, 2007, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled that the complaint that Tremaine, "engaged in a discriminatory practice on the ground of religion, national or ethnic origin, race and colour, in a matter related to the usage of a telecommunication undertaking" had been substantiated. Tremaine was ordered to pay a fine of $4000.00 (CDN) and to, "cease the discriminatory practice of communicating telephonically or causing to be communicated telephonically... material... that are likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt by reason of the fact that that person or persons are identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination, contrary to section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act."
On January 21 2008, Tremaine was arrested in Regina and charged with Section 319.1 of the Canadian Criminal Code and additional conditions were applied, ie; he must not own or access the internet.
