Lowell brings today's Sun article from Brian Lilley to our attention. In it, Lilley explains that The Community Media Advocacy Centre, run by Laith Marouf, received $133,000 in handouts from the Government in order to assist him in spreading his message on how to fight racism to the media.
Except... Marouf is on record for calling the people of Israel "Jewish white supremacists." He also referred to Jewish people as bags of human feces, used the N word to describe people of colour, called French Canadian people "frogs" and Christians "bitches."
Despite being warned by colleagues, Ahmed Hussen, the minister in charge of Canadian Heritage, approved the grant.
And we also discuss the media's fixation that, during a meet and greet, Pierre Poilievre shook hands with Jeremy Mackenzie (currently facing firearms charges after and RCMP raid on his Nova Scotia home). Lowell suggests that Poilievre very likely had no idea who the man even was as this happened at a campaign event open to the public.
