In this video, Sam Westrop, Director of Islamist Watch for the Middle East Forum, interviews me about the growing threats facing Canada due to Islamic supremacist incursions aimed at assailing freedom of expression in Canada, threats that largely go unnoticed given their gradualism, and remain unchallenged due to intimidation. The role of the “Islamophobia” subterfuge is discussed.
While America has its First Amendment, freedom of expression in Canada is protected as a “fundamental freedom” under Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. But the Charter also allows the government to enforce “reasonable” limits, if speech is deemed to be “hate speech, obscenity, and defamation.” But who defines those terms?
According to a National Post op-ed, Justin Trudeau Liberals pose a direct threat to free speech in Canada. The article, however, was published prior to the September 20 snap election, which saw Trudeau retain his leadership with a minority government. Two highly controversial anti-free speech bills died on the Order Paper when the Governor General of Canada dissolved parliament, when the election was called. But with Trudeau back as leader, they will once again reappear. Unfortunately, the connection of these bills to the “Islamophobia” specter that has been haunting Canada for years has not been addressed in media, but I address it in the interview.
Recall the anti-Islamophobia M-103 23-million-dollar follow-up document: “Taking Action Against Systemic Racism And Religious Discrimination Which Includes Islamophobia.”:
In this document “action is required to counter the effects of …Islamophobia. Action will include programs and policies with a whole of government approach.” As such, funding will go to activities to “create conversations about Muslims, the impact of Islamophobia….”
As part of the “Islamophobia” initiative, Canadian citizens will be monitored for compliance: the Public Service Commission of Canada “offers standardized assessment instruments through its Personnel Psychology Center for use by public service organizations.” These tests are developed with “diverse groups and are monitored and maintained with diversity in mind.” One of these groups will likely be the NCCM/CAIR-CAN, given its history as an adviser to the Liberal government.
Furthermore, document recognizes hate crimes as “captured in the Criminal Code of Canada,” specifically Sections 318 and 319. Section 318: Hate Propaganda, refers specifically to advocating for genocide. Section 319: Public incitement of hatred, refers to stirring up hatred in a public place.
The “Government of Canada also recognizes that the effectiveness of these hate speech laws requires law enforcement agencies to have training, preparedness, and capacity to report and investigate hate crimes, both offline and in the cyber domain.”
The two anti-free speech bills were continuations of the anti-Islamophobia motion M-103, while Canada’s recent “emergency Islamophobia summit” further added to the strictures that now threaten Canada.
“Islamism’s Growing Threat to Canada with Christine Douglass-Williams,” Middle East Forum, October 1, 2021:
How will Justin Trudeau’s re-election impact the growth of Islamism in Canada? Several worrisome signs – the lack of follow-up on Iran’s shooting down Flight 752, the passage of an “Islamophobia” bill, the push for a Special Envoy on Islamophobia – suggest the government plans further to appease the radical utopians. What implications does this have?

Indeed, the ‘Islamophobia’ campaign is subterfuge. It is a Trojan horse for the stealthy insertion of Sharia law blasphemy law into the West.
If Islamic political supremacism may not be criticized, it becomes the ruling party. If jihadism may not be criticized, it becomes the political practice. If pedophilia and forced child marriage may not be criticized, they become the societal norm.
Phase one of Islamization is mass immigration; phase two is silencing dissent to Islamic supremacism; phase three is jihad against women, leaders and the common people.

All very well put including ‘the ‘Islamophobia’ campaign is subterfuge. It is a Trojan horse for the stealthy insertion of Sharia law blasphemy law into the West.’
Plain stupidity and/or ignorance of the masses I think ‘helps’. Unfortunately.

Guy, if we are doing as much to warn people about the threat iof Islam as is Sam Westrop, then we can criticize him over his use of terminology…
Major Tom says
Considering that a ‘phobia’ is a clinically diagnosed medical condition…..and the accusers, I’ll wager, have no medical qualifications…..it’s an ill gained term that has but one purpose…..to silence dissent….
As BNI so appropriately states…..”It isn’t Islamophobia when they really are trying to kill you!”
Hank says
………………and a majority of Canadians keep voting for the likes of wimpy Trudeau and his Leftist-Green Muslim Alliance who are busy building up a 5th column and destabilizing Canada. Sadly, this Islamization process will end in a Civil War. It could all be avoided if those voters got their heads out of their marxist-socialist utopia Cloud 9 its constantly in.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well fought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don’t do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it once was like in America (Canada) when men were free. – 1961 Ronald Reagan
OLD GUY says
The Muslim/Islamic migration invasion is moving along like a train running down hill both in Canada and America thanks to bought and paid for politicians and higher education institutions. The Middle East is dumping millions of dollars into our political system and higher education system buying favorable migration rules and spreading islamic propaganda to our Children.
the sooner we standup and fight this invasion off the better, the longer we wait the more blood well have to be Sheed to rid out countries of the thugs.
