Imagine A Boot Stamping On An Opinion Forever

Before one begins, let one have an idea who is planning on ban free speech in this country:

Nazih Khatatba, publisher at Meshwar Media, was present as an invited guest. His newspaper, al-Meshwar, has claimed the Holocaust was a Jewish plot, and has referred to it as a “holohoax.”

MPs photographed at the event include Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, Liberal MP Sameer Zuberi, NDP MPs Niki Ashton, Blake Desjarlais, Lindsay Mathyssen and Matthew Green, and Bloc MPs Denis Trudel and Mario Beaulieu. Conservative MP Larry Brock told the National Post that he also attended the event.

This Nazih Khatatba:

Khatatba’s Meshwar Media has referred to the Holocaust as the “Holohoax” – “the biggest lie in history.” In 2015, the newspaper called Judaism a “terrorist religion,” in which killing is ingrained. 

In 2014, Meshwar Media praised the the synagogue massacre in the Har Nof neighbourhood of Jerusalem, in which Canadian citizen Chaim Rotman was murdered with an axe while at prayer, as “courageous”. 

More recently, he praised the heinous nail-bomb murder of 16-year-old Aryeh Schupak as a “quality operation” by Palestinians. It is reprehensible that Canadian elected officials meet with those who praise the antisemitic slaughter of Canadian citizens.

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra yesterday said he could not explain how a reputed anti-Semite was invited to a Parliament Hill reception he attended with more than 100 others. Alghabra and the Liberal MP who hosted the event said no background checks were conducted: “There is always a risk of us meeting unsavoury individuals.”

Expression of anti-government views on the internet may pose a terrorist threat, the director of a federal security agency said last night. “We are seeing that kind of narrative, very like anti-authority, anti-government,” said Marie-Helen Chayer, executive director of the Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre.

(Sidebar: this is a taxpayer-funded, government-supported group.)

Federal internet censors should target hurtful words against politicians, says Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault. The Minister added pending regulations may include an internet kill switch to block websites deemed hurtful, but called it a “nuclear” option: “News regulations for online platforms are needed.”

Lawyers for “Freedom Convoy” organizers have won their bid to get access to unredacted versions of 20 documents at the Public Order Emergency Commission.

Lawyer Brendan Miller applied to have the public inquiry release information in government documents that it had blacked-out, arguing the information should not be protected by parliamentary privilege.

Remember this when that execrable Bill C-11 is passed and you can't look at your kitten videos on Youtube.

WOW!🔥 You will NEVER hear a more eloquent takedown of Canadian legacy media than this. pic.twitter.com/EVWdrnlewu
