Canada: Muslim MP falsely claims Conservatives forced him to miss Muslim holy day for crucial Parliamentary vote

Jun 16, 2018 12:02 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

For weeks, the Liberals refused to disclose the cost of their carbon tax plans, so the opposition Conservatives decided to  launch a filibuster in the House of Commons, vowing to keep Liberal MP’s voting for up to 30 straight hours.

As it turns out, “the marathon voting session…wrapped up after roughly 12 hours,” and still without needed answers.

The issue is critical:

Main estimates are the breakdown of how the government plans to spend the money outlined in its annual budget. As a bill relating to money matters, any vote on it is considered a matter of confidence. A loss could trigger an election.

Despite how critical the matter is, Member of Parliament Omar Alghabra decided that his Muslim privilege mattered most in the midst of this important session of which his own government was in neglect over. He decided to tweet out his grumblings in advance:

https://twitter.com/OmarAlghabra/status/1007412686773055488

The filibuster had nothing to do with partisanship. Alghabra’s accusations, however, had everything to do with identity politics and his own personal agenda. He was President of the Canadian Arab Federation, and stated that he did not believe that Hamas (a Muslim Brotherhood proxy group) or Islamic Jihad were terrorist groups.” Also, when Ontario declined to permit the use of sharia law, Alghabra said he was disappointed. Alghabra also opposed an anti-terrorist act that was proposed by Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin before a Parliament Subcommittee on public safety.

More recently, Alghabra represented Canada at a meeting of Council of Foreign Ministers of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), during which the OIC  offered Canada a “distinct opportunity to raise and advance our core values, including human rights, freedom, democratic governance and the rule of law.” Since when is Canada is an Islamic nation to be represented at the OIC, and worse, to be taught “values” by it? One can see clearly what Alghabra’s priorities, as well as those of the Canadian government.

Another Liberal MP, Mark Holland, decided to facilitate the placement of identity politics above the well-being of Canada:

.@davidakin I am fortunate to represent a huge Muslim population; placing votes all through #Eid, their most holy holiday, is hugely disrespectful. It was an honour to fast for the last 30 days in support of @Give_30 and it is deeply disappointing to miss this important occasion

— Mark Holland (@markhollandlib) June 15, 2018

Omar Alghabra was exposed for his divisiveness and deception by Conservative MP Erin O’Toole, who tweeted:

This is both incorrect & disappointing @OmarAlghabra – the first vote tonight at 10:30PM is due to the Liberal led schedule & Liberal mandates late night sitting. I think you should apologize for misleading people. https://t.co/dVDNUDwpTu

— Erin O'Toole (@ErinOTooleMP) June 15, 2018

This isn’t the first time that the Conservatives were forced to pull a filibuster on a crucial matter. It happened in March over a cover up that made news worldwide in connection with Trudeau’s humiliating visit to India, when he invited a known Khalistani terrorist to a reception dinner. Trudeau has been neglecting the Canadian economy, including NAFTA, as his government aggressively rams through intricate plans to crack down on “Islamophobia” and strengthen relations with the OIC.

“Tories force filibuster in attempt to get Liberals to disclose carbon tax cost,” by Rahul Kalvapalle, Global News, June 15, 2018:

The Conservatives followed through on their threat to force Liberal MPs to vote through the night in an attempt to get the government to disclose the cost of its carbon tax plans.

Voting on the government’s main spending plan was continuing as of 3 a.m. Friday morning, with Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer saying his party members were “not leaving until we get the truth” about how much the proposed $50-per-tonne carbon price will cost Canadian families.

“He’s failed to be honest with Canadians about what this will cost your family. And instead of just telling Canadians how much his carbon tax will cost them, Justin Trudeau is keeping everyone here tonight,” Scheer said on his Facebook page. “But we’re not leaving until we get the truth.”

Pierre Poilievre, the party’s finance critic, announced the pending filibuster on Thursday as he rose to speak on an opposition motion submitted by him that asked the government to table the cost of its proposed carbon tax by June 22, which is the day the House of Commons is scheduled to rise for summer holidays.

For weeks, Poilievre and the Conservatives have demanded the government disclose its estimates on how much that plan will end up costing Canadians in terms of increased costs for goods and services.

But so far, the government has refused….

      Tabard explained Qur’an verse 3:28 which is about not taking non-Muslims as friends. He wrote:

      “If you (Muslims) are under their (non-Muslims) authority, fearing for yourselves, behave loyally to them with your tongue while harboring inner animosity for them. God has forbidden believers from being friendly or on intimate terms with the Infidels rather than other believers except when Infidels are above them in authority. Should that not be the case, let them act friendly towards them while preserving your religion.

      I guess a Muslim could argue about the “fearing for yourselves” part but then it reminds them of being forbidden to be friends; there are at least five verses about not being friends or taking them as allies or helpers. This could only apply to the time they were in Mecca and the they got sick of Muhammad knsultkng their God’s and customs, so some Meccans started to abuse the Muslims. Otherwise they weren’t under infidels’ authority.

      Permissions to lie and break treaties are more hadithic based and maruna is modern and Muslim Brotherhood based since violating sharia law is a grave sin. I see it happening though. Islam is stealthy and da’wa is full of lies. The religion can’t stand in its own.

    I hate to tell you buddy, governments in the west do what they need to do when it is on their agenda. They representatives all have a nation to run not a religion to run. If you don’t like our systems In the west then you may return at your own will to a Muslim nation where religion is the government and the government is the religion. Let me put it this way if we were pegs made of wood and one was of oak and another willow…and we were both round we would both fit into board filled with round holes. If one peg was square and the rest round it just wouldn’t work. So, maybe you should not expect any special concessions for being a different shaped wooden peg. So it is you who needs to make your concessions to fit into what already exists. You would expect the same from a Christian who immigrated into a Muslim nation. Oh but those nations don’t have that problem do they. They just kill throw the pegs that don’t fit into a fire, (stone them to death._ or whatever other severe inhumane punishment they can think of. As the saying goes “when in Rome do as the Romans.” or in America “Go along to get along.

    This is what passes for a politician in Canada these days.

    But we knew it was bad already.

    There’s another Trudeau sitting (and prancing) as PM.

    Actually many of the Trudeau Liberals accused theConservative opposition of ……. (drum roll) “Islamophobia” !!!! Because the Conservatives had the gall to keep the Liberals working in the House of Commons on the last day of Ramadan, and caused the Liberals to miss the Eid festivals in their ridings.

    So now, apparently, since the motion M – 103 recommendations are being implemented by the Trudeau Liberal government, ALL of Canada must adhere to Islamic traditions and law under threat of being accused of being Islamophobic.

    The Turdo and his Islamic sycophants MUST be turfed in 2019 if Canada is to remain a secular democracy.

    The agenda for voting in the House can only be set by the party on power the Liberals. The liberal member who set this agenda is a Moslem herself! Sort of like the pot calling the kettle black. What a bunch of fakes and whiners. These people are treacherous, undemocratic and want to take over our government using the empty vessel Trudeau.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Jun 16, 2018 at 3:31 pm

      Good point. Likely a planned deception enabling them to flood to willing media with false, headline grabbing, condemnations of the PCs, knowing that the fact of Liberal responsibility will be hidden in the small print or not all.

      The muslims know they won’t be able to have their way so easily under a non radical left government and are out to fling as much filth around, monkey style, as possible.

      It’s going to be an interesting year and bit up to the next election.

      • Loison Helmer says

        Jun 16, 2018 at 5:18 pm

        Yes, I agree on all points. That’s probably one of the reason they worked so hard to get rid of Harper. Love him or hate him he would not tolerate this nonsense and saw through them always. Trudeau is power hungry to feed his narcissistic personality and will and probably did sell his soul to the devil. The next election is going to be a dirty, mud slinging affair. Hopefully this time Conservative and voters will be better prepared for George Soros and his ilk throwing mega money into Lead now, open society, black lives matter etc. If not we will be going down for the count and it won’t be pretty.

          Jun 17, 2018 at 8:49 pm

          Yup. Installing half his cabinet, right after the election, because of their gender rather than merit was also a bit of a red flag too.

    What is more disturbing is….

    Mark Holland.. Parliamentary secretary to the minister of public safety and emergenct preparedness.

    Now knowing what this one is all about it does shed some additional light on why we have open borders.

    Omar Alghabra….Parliamentary secretary to the minister of foreign affairs.

    This one has always been controversial.

      Hateful? Not at all! We have seen the writing on the wall regarding Muslims and their agenda in the West. We have seen it in Western Europe and we have seen it everywhere they settle. These subversives must be got rid of or our culture is toast.
      If you don’t believe they have an agenda of domination , well, just look into the \Koran and learn some history.

    • Tom says

      Jun 17, 2018 at 10:20 am

      Your comment is so laughable. Is the man who defends his home and family against a violent home invader a hateful person? Is the one who recognizes a violent criminal on the street and reports it to the police a hateful person? Is the woman who reports an attempted rape a hateful person?

      Of course these are not examples of hate, but examples of people doing the right thing, and defending our culture and our country against a known threat, in the form of political Islam and its proponents, aims and objectives, is also not hate but the right thing to do.

      Islam has shown us over and over and over and over again, and again, just how this threat is to be perpetrated and how full of hate the followers of political Islam really are.

      We ALL HAVE to pay for it out of our taxes so we all should be able to receive it on our tv sets but now that tv is all digital, if you don’t have cable or digital, you don’t get reception so you can’t watch it. Still have to pay though. Even if you buy an expensive antenna if you aren’t in the right position in your apartment building you can’t get the right reception, so you are out of luck. I tried, so I know.
