Justin Trudeau's Liberals accommodated for years a man whose tweets reveal him as a vicious anti-Semite, and for nearly seven years let him feed at the federal funding trough. We speak of course of the odious Leith Marouf, whose Community Media Advocacy Center received over a six-year period about $600,000 in federal contracts to teach anti-racism to Canadian media.

00:00:00.000 Welcome, Western Standard viewers. One thing conservative leaders learn to do right away
00:00:06.320 is weed out the haters, the nutters, and the deniers of whatever passes today for received
00:00:12.840 wisdom before any of these people become a distraction. Not so, Mr. Trudeau's liberals.
00:00:22.000 With astonishing generosity of spirit, they accommodated for years a man whose tweets
00:00:27.340 reveal him as a vicious anti-Semite and for nearly seven years let him feed at the federal funding 0.87
00:00:33.980 trough. We speak, of course, of the odious Leith Marouf, whose Community Media Advocacy Center
00:00:40.900 received over a six-year period about $600,000 in federal contracts to teach anti-racism to Canadian
00:00:49.140 media. Set a thief to catch a thief, as they say. But clearly, in this subject area, Marouf was a
00:00:56.940 scholar-practitioner. Even as he was exposing white supremacy on the taxpayer's dime to a no doubt
00:01:03.580 deliciously masochistic press corps and damning systemic racism in apartheid Canada, as he calls
00:01:11.960 the government of Canada, he kept up a steady stream of vile anti-Semitic comments on his social media
00:01:20.740 accounts. This week, X finally X'd him. But not before he had just contemned consultant Mark Goldberg for
00:01:31.920 leading a Jew's aid of being a Jewish supremacist and claiming, the world knows you, that is, Goldberg, 1.00
00:01:39.600 knows you like to kill babies. Seriously. It's a surprise to find that there are still people who talk like 1.00
00:01:47.380 that. What's really surprising, though, is that these days they're not stereotypical neo-Nazis and
00:01:53.300 skinheads, who I doubt these days could assemble a corporal's god. It's now a game liberals play. And 0.71
00:01:59.600 as we see on YouTube, Canadian universities and their professors in great numbers love to join in.
00:02:07.400 So two questions. First, how does a bloke like Marouf ever get hired by the federal government
00:02:14.340 in the first place, even one led by the persistently just not ready and ideologically confused Justin
00:02:23.220 Trudeau? Second question. Once hired, how did he stay hired? Good questions both. Despite puffy-cheeked
00:02:31.940 expressions of amazement, oh, the shock, the horror, how could we have possibly known? The truth is that the
00:02:37.620 liberals had plenty of warnings. The only answer that makes any sense to me is that there's a
00:02:44.100 paternalistic blind spot in liberal groupthink. When white people are racist and say vile things, 0.86
00:02:51.020 they must be jumped on from a great height. First, because saying vile things is wrong. Second, 0.99
00:02:56.000 because if you condemn white racism, you'll never look bad in ethnic communities where you're touting
00:03:01.280 for votes. But when people who aren't white say hateful things about Jews and even about other 0.85
00:03:07.960 non-white people, well, cut them some slack. Perhaps, like church burnings, the prime minister 1.00
00:03:14.680 finds it understandable. We'd still need their votes. As one enthusiastic tweeter put it,
00:03:22.800 the entire anti-racism, DEI, that's diversity, equity, and inclusion, that entire DEI industry
00:03:30.180 needs to be defunded and destroyed. It is, and always has been, an absolute fraud. Taxpayer dollars
00:03:36.140 should not be going to people like that. Quite so. Wish I'd said it first.
00:03:42.960 For the Western Standard, I'm Nigel Hannibal.
00:03:45.380 Canadian Shooting Sports Association. Without the CSSA, our gun rights would have been taken long,
00:03:56.260 long ago. These guys are on the front lines, helping to draft smart and intelligent firearms
00:04:01.940 regulations and legislation in Canada. And more importantly, educating the public about how we
00:04:07.940 keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people. We've become a member. It's absolutely worth every penny.
00:04:12.940 We've got lots and lots of people. We've got lots of people in Poland that have done a lot more...
00:04:19.720 and other places that we feel now they're playing. We have the pitchers have lost Samantha
00:04:24.600 with all sellers. They've got lots of people nowadays. And eventually as much leaders in America
00:04:26.760 have seen the strongest pipelines of the world, it should riveting the world's battling wars to
00:04:31.560 prices and storms. That's good news. So, of course on wsler...
00:04:33.680 the cloud Ês ???
00:04:35.340 And now when you're stuck, what do you want to do now?
00:04:36.500 What do you suggest to expect?
00:04:40.040 To be continued the next generation of the world's real world and the future ahead they look 0.96
