It's 2013, and it's time for Sun News Network commentator Ezra Levant to either apologize for or explain his comments on Sept. 5, 2012, about the Roma.

Now, Levant appears to be the kind of young man for whom a phrase like "never apologize, never explain," would take on mantra-like authority. Nevertheless, it's time, or certain conclusions about Levant's views about the Roma people will be impossible to avoid.

More important, the same unhappy conclusions will be unavoidable in the case of the Sun News Network, which continues to employ Levant.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a tweet can be worth at least a 100 carefully crafted news releases. 

Take the following tweet, for example: "...now get them the f -- outta here cuz most are false asylum seekers. They had their free vacay, now it's time to go!"

That came from someone who styles herself as "Future Chaos @MissManiac88". It was in response to a series of tweets from Canada's Immigration Minister Jason Kenney. 

Kenney has been busy tweeting about his current visit to Europe, in particular to Hungary.

The Minister's purpose in travelling to Hungary seems to be to burnish his image as a concerned and compassionate politician.
