Canada’s Green party has said that “it recently learned of Islamophobic social-media posts by four of its Quebec candidates. The candidates will make public statements of apology and commit to learning more about Islam by working with the National Council of Canadian Muslims, the party said.”
Recall Canada’s anti-Islamophobia motion M-103 — which most have forgotten, or would rather forget — 23 million dollars of hard-earned taxpayer money was put toward fighting “Islamophobia.” The term “anti-Muslim bigotry” was rejected because the Muslim architect of this motion was insistent on the word “Islamophobia” at any cost. This made it clear that the motion was intended to cover much more than hateful attacks against innocent Muslims.
In the government followup document “Taking Action Against Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination Which Includes Islamophobia,” specifications were included as follows:
As part of the “Islamophobia” initiative, Canadian citizens will be monitored for compliance: the Public Service Commission of Canada “offers standardized assessment instruments through its Personnel Psychology Center for use by public service organizations.” These tests are developed with “diverse groups and are monitored and maintained with diversity in mind.”
Among the “diversity” groups that received (or are receiving) funding for helping to execute M-103 is the Hamas-linked National Council of Canadian Muslims (formerly CAIR-CAN) and IRFAN, which was designated as a “terrorist entity” under the Harper government. We all know the proverbial saying: “the fox guarding the henhouse,” so here we have four Green nominees going off to be trained on how not be “Islamophobic” by the NCCM. One of the “offenders” profusely apologized.
Katherine Turgeon, posted a note Tuesday on Facebook suggesting she was simply making a joke in 2013 and did not intend to offend anyone. The comments were “not racist at all on my part …. sorry for those who took it wrong,” wrote Turgeon, who is running in the southern Quebec riding of Shefford.
Despite the plethora of documentation available which identifies and establishes Muslim Brotherhood linked groups and their goals, far too many Western politicians remain willfully blind as they focus on the Muslim vote rather than the well being of their country.
Green Party leader Elizabeth May has stood by her candidates, perhaps because of their apologies. The candidates did in fact criticize Islam, with some so-called “offensive” words thrown in. You can find some blurry screenshots HERE. Since when is Islam above reproach? Since when is criticizing Islamic doctrines which sanction abuse and murder a crime? Under the Sharia, Islam is deemed to be above all other faiths, and such tenets have no place in Western democracies. Islam should be and must be scrutinized like all ideologies. The four Green Party members instead will be taught by the National Council of Canadian Muslims that it is racist to insult Islam. They should refuse to be sent for training with the NCCM and treated like preschool children who did something wrong.
“Four Green nominees in Quebec made Islamophobic comments, party says,” Chat News Today, October 17, 2019:
OTTAWA — The Green party said Tuesday it recently learned of Islamophobic social-media posts by four of its Quebec candidates.
The candidates will make public statements of apology and commit to learning more about Islam by working with the National Council of Canadian Muslims, the party said.
One of the four, Katherine Turgeon, posted a note Tuesday on Facebook suggesting she was simply making a joke in 2013 and did not intend to offend anyone.
The comments were “not racist at all on my part …. sorry for those who took it wrong,” wrote Turgeon, who is running in the southern Quebec riding of Shefford.
The names of the other candidates were not immediately available, and the party would not say when they might make statements.
The election campaign has seen a steady string of revelations about inappropriate comments by candidates from various parties, including the Greens.
The party said it would review its internal policies and procedures to find ways of better standing up against Islamophobia and racism.
The party stressed it is working for a better future in which all Canadians can flourish.
News of the controversial comments came as Green Leader Elizabeth May visited Kamloops, B.C., to call for fundamental change to Canada’s taxation system to make it more fair.
“Reform is long overdue,” May said in a statement. “In this rich country, the growing gap between rich and poor is just plain wrong.”
The Greens advocate an arm’s-length Federal Tax Commission to analyze the system for fairness and accessibility. “Closing tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy will be a priority,” May said……
