Shahid Mahmood Still Wants Answers

The cartoonist Shahid Mahmood denied a seat on a Canadian flight from Vancouver to nearby Victoria in 2004 became an international news story for his quest to find out why. He's still looking, and this article at theStar.com suggests that he filed with the Canadian Human Rights Commission yesterday in order to further pursue why this happened. Mahmood notes that he's flown in Canada since the incident, although he hasn't tried to fly to the US partly for fear of reprisal for cartoons he's made critical of the United States.
