"Mostly peaceful protests" OK for Antifa & loony left, not conservatives

The CBC (Canadian Broadcorping Castration - the propaganda arm of Canada's Liberal government) has got itself all worked up over Friday's confrontation between Liberal leader Blackie McBlackface and a group of Canadians angry about forced vaccination against the kung flu and its more virulent Delta (read: made-in-India) variant. 

There were plenty of other things for them to be angry about, but "to be or not to be vaccinated" was the wedge issue Just In Trudeau was looking for, and he got it. In spades! 

The protest was more "mostly peaceful" than similar demonstrations by Antifa, BLM and the loony left seen in the Excited States of America.  A common obscenity was displayed on a banner and shouted numerous times. The Salmon Arm Salute (having the same meaning as the printed obscenity) was seen. But no punches (or objects) were thrown. No-one was physically assaulted or interfered with. "No harm, no foul!"

The CBC and its masters would have Canadians believe that this sort of thing is simply unacceptable, just "not who we are", as Mr Socks put it. That's just bullshit. The behaviour exhibited yesterday is perfectly fine with the liberal politicians and lickspittle media, if the "mostly peaceful protesters" are on the side of progress and wokeness!

Case in point: Antifa and other comsymp "protesters" roughing up elderly women and men at the rally for Max Bernier held by the People's Party of Canada at Mohawk College in Hamilton ON on 30 September 2019. 

The rally went ahead anyway -- "Mad Max" is no coward! -- but not one of the thugs clearly identifiable in the video was ever brought to trial, let alone convicted of anything. And now the CBC, which deplores the much milder behaviour of the protesters at Bolton, refuses to allow any mention of the "Hamilton incident" in the comments section of its hand-wringing, pearl-clutching story. 

Canadian readers take note, and remember all this on September 20th!

Footnote: Hey, this story even made it onto Fox News., which normally doesn't pay much attention to events in the No-longer-great No-longer-white North. See "Furious crowd forces Justin Trudeau to cancel campaign event: 'Need freedom'".

VIDEO: Sarah Hegazi... Where did we hear that name before?

First the headline from the hagiography by a very sympathetic Nick Boisvert on CBC News. "LGBTQ activist Sarah Hegazi, exiled in Canada after torture in Egypt, dead at 30".

In keeping with the bias of Canuckistan's statebroadcaster, the headline is somewhat misleading. It makes it sound as if Ms Hegazi died as the result of torture by the wicked, homophobic Egyptians. In fact, she committed suicide, after living in Canada for more than two years (at taxpayers' expense, natch) as an "asylum-seeker".

But Ms Hegazi was not idle while she was in the Great No-longer-white North. She was busy fighting for the rights of the alphabet people. Since LGBTQ2etc rights are already well established in Canadian law, she was obliged to turn her attention to campaigning for social justice, and against racism, fascism, yada yada yada, in other ways. Such as? Such as assaulting elderly people at last September's People's Party of Canada rally at Mohawk College, in Hamilton ON. That's her on the left [geddit? Ed.] in the above picture.

In spite of being identified to the Hamilton constabulary (see WWW 11/10/19) as "the 'lady' in the red bandana face mask", who assaulted (besides the lady in the photo), an old man wearing a white PPC hat and an elderly lady using a walker, Ms Hegazi was never arrested. However, her boyfriend Ahmed Alaa, not only mentioned but pictured in today's CBC story, was charged.

This so shamed his Syrian refugee parents that they were "forced" to close down their Toronto restaurant, Soufi's, until they were reassured by liberal politicos and meeja types that it was OK, really, because antifa "protesters" will never be prosecuted. And so it turned out for Mr Alaa, whose charge was somehow forgotten. "Mike, from Simcoe Grey County Clearview Township" takes up the story.



"Here in Canada," Ms Hegazi told the CBC in a 2018 interview, "I haven't people, I haven't family, I haven't friends. So I'm not happy here." The good news, we guess, is that she is now happy in Paradises. I don't know if Muslim women get serviced by 72 virgins or not. Maybe they are segregated from me, as in mosques, but, as an openly gay woman, Ms Hegazi would surely not mind that. So all's well that ends well.

UPDATED VIDEO: The free speech event Antifa couldn't shut down

So what was that -- the antifa/communist not-so-peaceful demonstration outside Mohawk College in Hamilton ON on 29 September -- all about? It was, as Maxime Bernier and Frank Vaughn said in videos recorded on the 30th, an exercise by radical leftist thugs of their view of "free speech" -- which means, to them, that you're free to speak as long as your views agree with theirs.

The symposium, "Uncensored: Free Speech in Canada", was organized by the People's Party of Canada, and featured popular American YouTuber David Rubin, in a roudtable discussion with PPC leader Maxime Bernier. The usual suspects -- antifa, union leaders, left-wing academics etc -- had demanded that Mohawk College cancel the event, but Mohawk (to their credit) said the McIntyre Arts Centre was for rent to the public (including the PPC) and the event could go ahead.

So about 100 loonie lefties gathered outside the venue and made would-be attenders run the gauntlet. About 500, including Agent 3 did, that, and thoroughly enjoyed the main panel discussion, featuring Messrs Bernier and Rubin, with PPC candidates Frank Vaughan (on the left in the picture, but not politically!) and Prof. David Haskell.

The warm-up act (so to speak) was a speech by Dr Salim Mansur, a Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Western Ontario. Dr Mansur is a former columnist for the London Free Press and the Toronto Sun, and has contributed to various publications including National Review and the Middle East Forum. He is an immigrant who became a Canadian citizen, and a Muslim. And he is now the People's Party of Canada candidate in London North Centre. And they say the PPC is racist and Islamophobic? Hah!

Here is a video of the entire event -- Frank Vaughan's introduction, Dr Masur's speech, and the panel discussion. It runs just over an hour and a half, and every minute is worth watching.

VIDEO: Max Bernier reacts to Antifa "peaceful protest" at Hamilton ON

Thanks to Agent 2 for letting us know about this video, produced by Canadian Press and posted to the lefty Huffington Post website. You'll hear Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada, giving his thoughts on the melee between his supporters and Antifa/Communist protesters outside the McIntyre Arts Centre of Mohawk College in Hamilton ON, before Sunday night's roundtable on freedom of speech, intercut with clips of people milling about.

It's interesting to compare that video with those shown on CHCH-TV, the independent local TV station. Note from Ed.: Oh!!! Very interesting!!! I just got the embed code from the HuffPost article, and tried to post it here, but... see above! But there's more than one way to defeat censorship! The CP video is now on YouTube. Check it out.



Nowhere in the CP video do you see actual scenes of the violence perpetrated by the Antifa punks, notably the woman with the red bandana covering her face who is seen clearly in the CHCH video attacking first a Bernier supporter wearing the old Red Ensign on his shoulders, and then our own Agent 3.

The CP story and video has been picked up not just by the HuffPost but by the state-owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration, which is now saying that "more arrests are possible". Who could they mean? The lady with the red bandana [like we used to wear playing cowboys and indians. Ed.] ? Stay tuned.

Further viewing: Frank Vaughan, one of the PPC candidates on the panel, has posted "Rubin Event Aftermath - The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" on YouTube. Just under 21 minutes, it's his patient and understanding take on the "peaceful protest" and how the whole chaotic scene relates to freedom of speech... for everyone... even the loony left. Quote: "Why is assault not assault when left-wing mobs commit it?!"

VIDEO: Antifa thugs assault elderly PPC supporters at Hamilton rally

What was supposed to be a "peaceful protest" outside last night's "Uncensored: Free Speech in Canada" roundtable -- featuring libertarian YouTuber (((David Rubin))) and Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada -- in Hamilton ON turned violent Sunday evening as supporters of the PPC were attacked by Antifa/Communist protesters as they tried to enter the venue at Mohawk College. The leftist terrorists -- you can see a Communist banner in the video -- went so far as to push an elderly lady using a walker!



There were a number of other confrontations and scuffles. Two men from opposing sides of the protests were led away in handcuffs by Hamilton police. Inspector Knacker said there were a total of four arrests for "breach of the peace", but all those detained were later released without conditions. Free speech, perhaps? Hamilton police are continuing their investigations.

Inside the McIntyre Arts Centre, When the event got underway, Maxime Bernier emerged on stage while "Eye of the Tiger" played. He received multiple standing ovations throughout the night for pledging to increase "personal freedoms" for all Canadians. He was joined onstage by American YouTuber and political commentator Dave Rubin, and two PPC candidates -- Prof. David Haskell (Cambridge-North Dumfries) and Frank Vaughan (Northumberland-Peterborough South), who acted as moderator. "Mad Max" praised all of his candidates, saying "[They] are not real politicians, and that's great! People don't trust politicians anymore."

The four chatted at length about preserving freedom from censorship in Canada, their doubts about climate change science, keeping government small and the PPC's plan to repeal the Multiculturalism Act. They also talked about immigration, with M Bernier saying the party's plan is "not racist, not anti-immigration and not pro-mass-immigration." The party would drastically reduce immigration to Canada, he said, and focus resources on those citizens already in the country.

When asked if he'd be willing to engage in a debate with protesters outside the venue, Mr Rubin said "I'd be happy to talk to them if they're not in my face and screaming at me and calling me a Nazi." He found that not just offensive but funny, considering that he's Jewish (also gay!) and that last night was the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.

"If I could sit down with any of those people and chat about it, I would try to do exactly what I did tonight", he said, "which is really try to get them to understand what are your rights, where do your rights come from and how special it is to live in a place like Canada or the U.S."
