By using the term "Islamophobia" in the document, the state is singling out one faith community, as though Islam and Muslims are exclusive and need special attention. In fact, statistics show that hate crimes against the Aboriginal peoples, Jews, Blacks and LGBTQ communities are the highest.
Given Canada's approach to immigration, it is peculiar that this Christian family is facing deportation, especially given the obvious threat to their lives if they are sent back to Nigeria - or maybe it is not so peculiar. "In Trudeau's Canada, Christians are not welcome," because according to Trudeau: "evangelical Christians" are "the worst part...
Late last year, a number of users around the world received warnings from Twitter that their tweets were violating Pakistani law. I was one of them. At a panel at the Defend Media Freedom Conference in London, UK, I challenged Pakistan's Foreign Minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, on this issue.
On July 13, Trinity-St. Paul's United Church was set to provide space for the "Ghassan Kanafani Resistance Arts Scholarship Launch," organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM).

Up until a few decades ago, we were largely unaware that...
Today we mark the 152nd anniversary of Confederation; and our straight-laced quiet little country has never been so . . . Well, one might think Sir John Eh, and the rest of the gang might be tempted to rise from their troubled graves and sign Canada back over to Britain.

"The body of Canadian Armed Forces Bombardier Patrick Labrie, who was killed during a NATO exercise last week in Bulgaria, was returned to Ottawa on Saturday for a memorial service. However, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was not present to pay his respects." Justin Trudeau took a 'personal day,' instead of attending the return of Bombardier Patrick...
On June 21 in Toronto, many prominent Liberals appeared alongside a group called 'Canadian Muslim Vote', where Justin Trudeau himself implied opposition Conservatives were Islamophobic and racist, sending the partisan Liberal Party Muslim tribe into a thunderous applause.
I can barely envision a pedagogical strategy less conducive to stable early childhood development, particularly for a thoughtful child, which is exactly what "N" seems to be - much to her detriment, in this situation. Trusting her teacher, as she apparently did, "N" listened to her lessons and tried to think through what the complicated and...
