Activism, Not Academia: Barbara Perry’s New Funding Campaign Built on Misinformation and Lies

In the span of just three days, Barbara Perry, director of the government-funded Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism, appeared in two major media pieces. On March 12, she gave a lengthy interview warning of a “fairly high threat level” driven almost exclusively by right-wing extremism and “Active Clubs.” On March 15, CBC Saskatchewan ran a 48-minute segment titled “Have you noticed a rise in anti-immigrant and anti-semitic sentiment?” that again spotlighted Perry alongside reporter Eric Szeto and Canadian Race Relations Foundation CEO Muhammad Hashim.
