Ottawa’s pointless and confusing ‘definition’ of antisemitism

The NDP is facing serious criticism for disavowing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. The occasion was the release, by the Department of Canadian Heritage, of a 40-page “Canadian Handbook” laying out how the definition should be applied (could be applied? Must be? It’s unclear) in this country.

The major issue is an evergreen one: whether and in what circumstances criticism of Israel or of Zionism should be considered antisemitic. That relates most specifically to the following example of antisemitism included in the IHRA definition: “Applying double standards by requiring of (Israel) a behaviour not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.”

Canada has been down this road before with Section 13. Speech restrictions quickly become weaponized. We do not need to repeat that miserable experience.

LAU: When it’s the dean’s turn for surgery, will he accept a diversity hire?

Affirmative action discrimination and other forms of racial preference are pervasive in Canada’s public institutions. See, for example, Toronto Metropolitan University’s (TMU) new medical school admissions policy, which reserves 75 per cent of its seats for indigenous, black and other “equity-deserving” groups, who may still be considered for admission in certain circumstances if their undergraduate GPA is below 3.3 — an already low standard for admission.

How Donald Trump won — again

… One would presume that people of Central or South American heritage would be angered by Trump’s characterization of migrants coming to America as criminals and security threats.
But it appears one would be mistaken.

In fact, two-thirds of U.S.-born Latinos felt that Trump was not referring to them when he made such remarks on the campaign trail, according to a New York Times-Siena College poll last month.

More surprising, perhaps, is that 51-per-cent majority of Hispanic voters born outside the U.S. felt the same way.

Damn those Latinos and Blacks!

CSIS warned Health Canada of “insider threat” from Wuhan Institute-tied scientist Dr. Qiu Seven Months Before Lethal Ebola Shipped to China

Justin Trudeau Xiangguo Qiu Keding Cheng – Everybody say Xi

OTTAWA — In an explosive admission, Parliament’s Canada-China Committee has confirmed that Canada’s spy agency, CSIS, issued a direct and unheeded warning to senior health officials in August 2018, raising concerns about “insider threat activities” linked to Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng.

This alert, delivered seven months before the couple’s network—connected to the highest levels of Chinese biological weapons research—coordinated the shipment of live Ebola and Henipah virus samples from Canada’s high-security National Microbiology Laboratory to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, highlighted risks posed by their continued access to sensitive materials.

Trudeau’s statements on Indian interference may have spurred clashes in Canada, critics say

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to go public with foreign interference claims against India lies in stark contrast with the way the United States handled similar allegations and could be at the root of violent clashes seen in recent days between Sikh and Hindu crowds in Brampton, Ont., and Surrey, B.C., say India experts.

Trump Victory Media Roundup: Establishment Goes Through the Stages of Grief

 

Donald Trump has been reelected, and the self-appointed arbiters of acceptable opinion in the establishment media are struggling to adjust to new realities. As they do so, they’re giving us a textbook display of what it looks like to go through most of the classic stages of grief: denial, anger, depression, and acceptance. And even though Trump’s victory was comprehensive and inarguable, we know from long experience that they’re going to have the hardest time with that last one.

UN official for Palestinian territories says she was ‘snubbed’ by Canadian government

OTTAWA—A United Nations official visiting Canada to urge the Trudeau government to increase pressure on Israel to end its war in Gaza said she was “snubbed” by the Prime Minister’s Office and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.

Francesca Albanese, the UN’s special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, told the Star in Ottawa on Tuesday that an invitation to meet with officials at Global Affairs Canada was abruptly withdrawn a week before she arrived to Ottawa, while a scheduled appearance before the House of Commons’ foreign affairs committee, which is currently conducting an independent study on the fastest way for Canada to recognize a Palestinian state, was also cancelled. She described herself as having been “snubbed” by the Canadian government.

The censorship machine is far weaker in 2024 than 2020

In an October interview, The New York Times’s Lulu García-Navarro asked GOP vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance whether Donald Trump had lost the 2020 election. Instead of answering, Vance replied with another question: “Is it OK that big technology companies censored the Hunter Biden laptop story?” He has used the same ju-jitsu move on several other occasions when pressed about Trump’s fraud claims, including during his debate with Tim Walz.
