Remember -

 - the same government bent on banning free speech and requires a "permit to protest":


- and used taxpayer money to fund Holocaust deniers now lets anti-Israel groups with connections to terrorism have their important hate-fest:

The Jewish Federation of Ottawa has complained to the SAW Centre that the upcoming conference is being organized by Samidoun, an organization openly affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The PFLP is a terrorist-listed entity in Canada, the United States, the European Union, Australia and Japan. The federation says the event could lead to incitement and violence against Ottawa’s Jewish community.
Meanwhile, in a statement released Tuesday, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) says it is becoming increasingly frustrated with Public Safety Canada’s refusal to act on its concerns about Samidoun, which bills itself as a Palestinian prisoners’ solidarity group. “Enough is enough. Samidoun’s ties to the PFLP terrorist entity are self proclaimed and explicit. The group does not even attempt to hide them. What is unclear is why the government has yet to take action to outlaw the group’s activities in Canada,” read the release.

CIJA’s president, Shimon Koffler Fogel, said that, “We have long alerted the government to Samidoun’s incitement to hatred against Canada’s Jewish community and affiliation with the PFLP. Emboldened by impunity and inaction, Samidoun is now hosting its first major North American demonstration, here in the capital of our country.”
Samidoun did not return requests for comment.
Public Safety Canada has previously told me that it won’t comment on specific issues related to investigations of groups with possible terror connections, and the SAW Centre says the Jewish Federation of Ottawa is spreading a “fallacy’ about Samidoun’s central role in organizing the conference. The venue for the gathering remained withheld on Tuesday to everyone except for approved registrants.
