Canada's Indigenous Communities: The Truth is EnoughHal Durden
March 8, 2018
On February 9, 2018 Gerald Stanley was found not guilty of second-degree degree murder in the shooting death of Colten Boushie of Red Pheasant First Nations. Almost two weeks later, Raymond Cormier was found not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Tina Fontaine. Both cases have drawn considerable attention in Canadian media due to the racial tension they have created between the Indigenous communities that Boushie and Fontaine were from, and the "Systems" and people in Canada that they feel have failed them.
Peterson's 12 Rules for Life: A discussion not a lectureHal Durden
March 12, 2018
Professor Jordan B. Peterson of the University of Toronto first came to my attention due to his opposition to Bill C-16; an amendment to the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code that added gender expression and identity to the list of "prohibited grounds of discrimination."
Fixing the gender wage gap: progress by the numbersHal Durden
March 20, 2018
One of my new favourite words injected into our lexicon is "mansplaining". I'm reluctant to explain what the word means, because I don't want to get accused of being a mansplainer, but I don't see any way around it in this case. Mansplaining is when a man explains a concept to a woman in a condescending way, assuming they don't have the capacity to understand that concept without a man's help.
Why I do not believe in the Muslim Brotherhood's ideologyHanan Awad
November 19, 2013
As Muslims, we are ordered to follow one person, who is the Prophet Muhammed. However, Islam is all about independent reasoning, we are ordered to think and reflect and the doors to 'Ijtehad' are wide open in Islam as long as you acquire enough knowledge and reasoning skills.
Islamophobia: Paranoia infects North America Haroon Siddiqui
September 19, 2011
One legacy of the decade since 9/11 has been the growing fear of Muslims and Islam.
Prayers at schoolsHaroon Siddiqui
August 30, 2011
The weekly Muslim prayer at a Toronto public school thats said to constitute an imminent threat to Canadian secularism has been going on for 11 years, with nary a complaint.
Hitman Jason Kenney strikes againHaroon Siddiqui
February 27, 2012
Before we get on with this column, here is its context: We are familiar with the Stephen Harper government's penchant for blackballing its critics - for example, calling Jack Layton "Taliban Jack" for suggesting talks with the Taliban, precisely what NATO is doing.
Syrians skeptical about foreign helpHaroon Siddiqui
February 27, 2012
Why is it that it is only now, after 11 months of civilian carnage, that Bashar Assad's victims are beginning to call for foreign military intervention - reluctantly and obliquely at that, out of sheer desperation?
Has the media finally turned against the Harper regime?Harper Watch – May 19 to 26
June 3, 2013
Prior to the 2011 election, the Conservatives pretty much owned the media. What criticism there was, was lukewarm and included some outrageous statements such as "Once Harper gets a majority, he will be able to ease up, be kinder, less controlling". And of course, the media repeated the Harper propaganda that "The Conservatives have done well on the economy" throughout the election campaign giving the Harper gang millions in free advertising. There was also the oft repeated "They run from the right but govern from the centre."
Machete, a movie review Hassan Ibrahim
December 2, 2010
If I were to tell you that the movie Machete had a lot of extreme violence in it, you would probably be justified in calling me "Captain Obvious". If I were to tell you that it had a lot of swearing and nudity in it, you might be less sarcastic, but you probably wouldn’t be shocked. Now, if I were to tell you that Machete had an underlying socio-political message, you would probably call me a liar, but you would be wrong.
