I cannot understand the increasingly 'mean streak' shown by Canada's national government. The most recent example was their arbitrary cut off of Kairos - a Catholic service agency. A high level Cabinet Minister accused the organization of being anti-semitic.. only because it criticized certain policies of the Israeli government.
The current government recently went so far as to distribute literature in a number of areas of Canada accusing our main opposition party of being anti-semitic.
This bunch in power don't seem to understand one can criticize government all over the world but not get accused of being anti this or that group of people.
As a semite I can criticize policies of the Israeli government... but in the current federal government's eyes, that makes me an anti-semite.. an accustion that is totally and completely wrong!!
Mr. Kenney.. you don't speak for me.. you and your colleagues should restore KAIROS funding
Here, here,, well said! What is happening smacks one right in the face with Bushism #1. "If you aren't with us then you are against us." which is pure unadulterated bullshit!
