Rosie DiManno: We need to hear more from Mississauga’s mayor on Hamas controversy
Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish is no stranger to contempt-signalling.
She’s called Americans “bastards,’’ referred to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq as a “coalition of idiots,’’ stomped on a George W. Bush doll and was kicked out of the Liberal caucus for describing then-prime minister Paul Martin as “weak.’’ That was in her MP era.
Which is merely to suggest that theatre of the absurd is right in the mayor’s wheelhouse.
This is a good rant by Rosie DiManno of the Star against Mississaugastan Mayor Carolyn Parrish but as I posted on X it misses the mark.
Where DiManno and others go wrong is in their refusal to recognize that Parrish isn’t the problem her constituents are.
Instead we get over the top outrage at the Nelson Mandela slur and a recitation of the memorial creators prolific Islamist lunacy.
Parrish and Firas Al Najim are good lightening rods for Rosie’s Two Minute Hate but they’re the symptom not the disease. Islam is.
Parrish is loathsome but she’s not stupid and knew her Islamist support base would back her against demands to ban the Sinwar memorial and nothing says that better than yesterday’s videos of the Sinwar celebration (See below).
I can’t wait for Justin Trudeau’s statement of outrage.
If Oct 7 has taught us anything it is that support for Israel’s destruction has deep and wide support among the Muslim diaspora, our schools, universities and the political elites.
Will anything be done about Carolyn’s constituents?
You know the answer.
The elites who enthusiastically imported and continue to coddle the Islamists now cosplay their support for the Jews while simultaneously condemning our Islamophobia.
You and I are expected to serve as props in what amounts to an elite power struggle.
No thanks. I refuse to be cannon fodder for an elite who have demonized me as an Islamophobe and smeared me as a racist oppressor in their DEI struggle sessions.
Word of advice, fear who may follow Parrish as mayor and make sure any solution you offer to deal with Carolyn’s supporters includes Mass Deportation.
PS. I get Mandela is a Liberal Totem* but please. h/t Patti Jo for the vids.
