For a while anyway. I've been taking time off work to catch up on work, which is unwise. Do not follow my example, but do read this newsletter, and prepare to be at least slightly aghast.
It is a strange confluence that has occurred between all these forces but their common theme is always anti-semitism. The only reason I can think of for this is how Jews call the lie on the professional victimology all these outfits depend on.
How on earth did the Syrians manage to glum onto this?
Andrew Griffith: good comment. Seems like the government is now completely in the hands of political staffers, all operating without any adult supervision.
Good lord. I knew that the left/far-left had some serious problems with disinformation, conspiracy theories, anti-semitism & racism, and cuddling up to dictators, but I had no idea it was this bad. What is CAHN and (most of) the media doing about this? Asleep at the wheel?
One of the things I learned while working on multiculturalism under the Conservatives and Jason Kenney. Check the social media posts of the organizations and people requesting G&C funding. The number of times that I and my team were caught out was embarrassing until we started to do the checking before political staffers. In some cases, they were overly ideological in their "vetting," in others they caught things that officials should have.
Unfortunately, complacency of officials under the Liberal government and general "ideological" alignment means that this critical review and thinking has been relatively lacking.
I'm so glad you included Laith Marouf in your post. When I read about him a couple of days ago I just couldn't believe who our federal government and various agencies gets involved with.
The anti racism stuff is such nonsense. Fortunately most people know this. Unfortunately it continues to be pushed by lunatics that have somehow gotten into positions of power and or influence in government or media.
This story begs for more democratic day light. In particular how a federal institution can be openly hijacked at cross purposes to its mandated values. A visit before a parliamentary committee may be in order, however it would need to rise above dog whistling and partisan electioneering (not holding my breath). The political discourse around 'race' has become an ideological mine field for propagandists and opportunists amplifying the epistemological crisis and mistrust of democratic institutions. We need a believable open discussion not simply a site for manipulative disinformation and distortion by partisan ideologues. This story may present an occasion.
Thank you, Terry for another excellent, informative piece of real journalism! That bridge is terrifying to cross in an automobile let alone on a motorcycle. I wish you a healthy heart rate and unsoiled underwear in your crossing(s). Have a wonderful vacation.
Terry, a great and compelling piece here. I particularly like the section on Laith Marouf, and your investigative research done so far. Note that Mr. Marouf is the CEO of Montreal Community and Independant Television, a TV channel which (I think) operates all over Quebec:
I only did a brief look at www.tele1.ca , but apparently the TV station has a CRTC application to form a national TV network based on the Montreal programming. Further investigation is needed. Note further that this TV station and the Community Media Advocacy Centre still have Mr. Marouf in their employ.
These appointments and actions are no surprise to many and in fact is mostly expected from the Trudeau regime. Was it not Trudeau that gave away ten million taxpayer dollars to a man who killed an ally, while blinding another. Then Trudeau made sure to give him that money in a fashion that could not be intercepted by the families living with the actions of that man for killing and maiming their loved ones. After all, the Government is to protect all Canadian citizens and must stand up for all Canadian’s regardless of their crimes. Unless of course they have the audacity to protest in Ottawa, home of the Government and the laptop elite. Then it’s handcuffs and shackles and stopping those people from having access to their own bank accounts! How dare they! It must be an absolute shock to most Canadians that the Liberal Regime would appoint such a hateful person to manage hate. Same with those darn conspiracies folks, as we know the Government is on the up and up and would never harm any Canadians. The media would never mislead any either. It’s just more nut job conspiracies and misinformation and disinformation from the loony toons. Nothing to see here folks, not a thing to be alarmed about, it’s just Trudeau virtue signalling as always. He’s harmless after all and only has our best interests at heart.
Thank you,Terry, for printing/saying what so many cannot. Either through not knowing or fear of retribution, your words are, for many, sustenance in our time of needing more input. More input that is outside of MSM, sadly.
Can't speak to El Kadri's electoral chances in Ottawa, but long-time senior CCP United Front handler Michael Chan is running for Regional Councillor in Markham as a high-profile candidate.

Robyn Urback let 'em have it in today's G&M: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-ahmed-hussen-demands-to-know-how-someone-else-let-his-government . Mentioning her column only because Terry, being "away" (and, y'know, supposedly on holiday), might not have seen it. Hope you enjoyed/survived the Megler bridge. I crossed it years ago on a Suzuki 750, and I do recall the need for a pull-off to "unclench" afterwards : )

Geezus.

It's like the Liberals are too dumb to realize the massive populist backlash they are risking. God help us.
