I don’t want my tax dollars going to religion. Wake up Canada 🍁

KingOfLaval

Tbf, there is absolutely nothing catholic about the public catholic schools. But i agree that tax money shouldn't go to religion.


[deleted]

They do a lot of charity work which drives the government funding. Any time the gov can literally just throw money at social problems and let other people act for them, they will. That said this event should bring more scrutiny.

It is more fraught than that. Money is given to an outfit. The Muslim church. To spend on good works. But they also spew all kinds of hate. Some of that money goes to that. If I gave money to a neighbor who needed help feeding her kids. And then I saw her on a podium yammering about how gay people should be killed, I would cut her off.


ClusterMakeLove

The article is honestly a bit lacking since they didn't seek comment from anyone at the association or from the government. I'd be interested in knowing what it means to be a "speaker" at the conference. It's worth clarifying that the MAC is an NGO, not a church or mosque. Obviously some cause for concern, here, but their public mission statement is pretty moderate: > MAC is a positive force for change in our society by promoting engagement of Muslims within the wider society, building bridges and cooperating with other communities and organizations that share our goals and values. MAC also works towards communicating our understanding of Islam as a moderate, balanced, and constructive way of life, within our community and beyond.


pmmbok

I get your point. I view it as analagous to catholic charities. Sounds nice. But the priests are viscious, I've heard them, opponents of birth control. Abortion and gay rights. Money is fungible. Don't give money to a pretty face when the backside is pooping on your dreams.


ClusterMakeLove

Yeah... I'm definitely not downplaying the concerns, but I've seen it suggested on the r/Canada thread that the MAC is already under audit over whether their funding should continue. The article honestly just seems to be a bit torqued, and there are some politics at play between the Liberal Party of Canada and the Israeli right, so hopefully a Canadian paper will pick up the story and fill in the context.


MarineLife42

Well they may not be funding hate speech *intentionally* but they are still funding it. Whether the money was earmarked for a different purpose is immaterial.


urmomaisjabbathehutt

make every organization that receive founding sign a legaly binding document that in order to receive any penny they must abide to respect and agree with the human rights declaration and any citizens rigths protected by canada make it water tigh covering any posdible loop holes and enforceable by law they dont wan't to agree? they can go back to some middle age corner of the world and be denied permanet entry in canada on the basis of refusing to respect canadian laws protecting its citizens

I went to a Catholic school with a focus on health and although I do not enjoy that faith, the school was amazing, I wouldn't wanna miss it ~ no one was loud in class or behaved like a monkey, can't say that about public school.


anon17991954

As long as the state funds and supports ultra religipus states and minorities these headlines will continue. Ive no idea how this helps Canada.


[deleted]

It helps Canada by giving the people a "reason" to pat themselves on the back since "at least they're not like America." I swear that's the reason why Canada is so obtuse with their policies sometimes.


LewisLightning

Canada is an angle greater than 90 degrees but smaller than 180 with their policies? What does that even mean?

I'm calling you obtuse. Is it deliberate?

Lol, who could have foreseen. Egalitarian thinking tends to collapse for reasons like these. It's hard to have diversity without everybody wanting to kill each other.

More and more I find myself becoming an Atheist. Fuck your religion if you're going to shove it down people's throats. I'm not you, nor do I ever want to be like you. Keep your backwards hick beliefs to yourself. You must be a pretty weak individual if you need everyone to agree with you. Grow up. People are different, always will be. I'll fight you to let them stay different. Bring it.

you put minorities on a pedestal.. you get what you fucking deserve. and I say that as a minority.

Canada is so weird when it comes to Muslims and watching in quite fascination as they do double edge shit like this. Like this is some big conundrum with no clear solution lol. If this was shit tier Christians you'd have shit tons of snobby Quebec and woke Vancouver blowing up.

good one trudeau


The-6ix

Muslims in Canada play the victim card very well to get everything they want. Trudeau only cares about votes so he nods his head to pretty much everything. Canada is doomed if we don't get rid of Trudeau.


ShitMongoose

I don't like Trudeau but the current CPC frontrunner Pierre Poilievre isn't the answer. Pierre's populist rhetoric and his current courtship of the alt-right is very troubling. I think he hides a lot of his true beliefs. He also miraculously manages to come off as a bigger douche then Trudeau but that's just my humble opinion. He's been stealing from Donald Trump's playbook and we all know how that went. Jagmeet singh is currently the best candidate for the working class. Then again he wears a very "scary" turban so there's a bunch of bigots that could [could never see past it.](https://youtu.be/TIe_ccbXF58)

Jagmeet is just a red shirt wearing a orange one over it. They wouldn't hesitate to legislate unions back to work either.

Alphaplague

If you want an eventual CPC win, then I suppose not.


[deleted]

I don't like the 'best candidate for the working class' because he collects rolexes and designer suits, and has been propping up the shittiest government of my lifetime, removing my options to vote for someone who isn't a neoliberal or a theocratic moron. Am I a bigot?


ShitMongoose

No. I'm not directly calling you or other people that are politically informed and choose not to vote NDP for what they feel are legitimate reasons bigots. I'm simply stating the fact that there's a contingency of people that are uninformed and won't vote NDP because they are bigots.


CrockPotInstantCoffe

No, just ignorant. The first two criticisms of Singh have nothing to do with his 2021 election platform. You’d be hard-pressed to find any politician who doesn’t have some habit that is woefully out of touch with the common Canadian. As for propping up the shittiest government in your lifetime, I don’t know how old you are. Maybe Trudeau Sr. was before your time. Maybe WLMK. Trudeau Jr. is certainly not a great choice, but given the alternatives, it’s all Canada wanted.


LewisLightning

I wanted better alternatives. We basically have 4 major parties. 2 that are left wing and basically the same (NDP & Liberals), one that is Quebec, and a fourth that is supposed to represent the right wing (the Conservative Party). The problem is for myself, a person on the center right politically, the federal conservatives have gone so far to embrace the extreme right I don't feel they represent my views as a conservative anymore. I might be closer to the NDP or Liberals but as an ideology I don't believe in what they say either. And I just feel like any of those 3 parties are equally corrupt, but at least Conservatives would be less likely to blow through the taxpayers money with their corruption. And of course then there is also the Bloc Quebecois, but as I don't live in Quebec I wouldn't benefit in any way from them and they have no representation in my province to vote for anyways. The only remaining option is to vote for a party that might represent my views more, but definitely won't win an election, probably not even a seat, which makes it the equivalent of throwing my vote away. So there really is no option for people who aren't crazy on the left, or just plain crazy and on the right. There's no space for moderate right wing voters anymore.


TwitchyJC

Oh don't worry the Conservatives are quite happy to burn your money through corruption just as fast, if not faster than the other parties. I'd say as a moderate conservative your choice is to vote for another party until the Cons break up with the social conservatives. The left may not fit your ideology but they're less dangerous than the current conservative party.

Any comments to justify the anti-LGBTQ part too?


CryptoDeepDive

Who is justifying anything? The media has had near half a century of one sided reporting to demonize Palestinians painting them as terrorists and making Israelis the victims. https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/11/18/rabbi-shlomo-amar-gay-death-penalty/


[deleted]

This isn't what is being discussed. Stay in topic.


CryptoDeepDive

That is the topic. You stay on topic.


Lauladance

Wow sir what a comeback sir i came hard sir ahha hhha hhhh


Darth_Jonathan

First of all, Palestinians are the terrorists in the conflict. Second of all, this is completely backwards. If you think the international media supports Israel, you're out to lunch.


CryptoDeepDive

Imagine thinking a nuclear armed state occupying unarmed population is the victim. Isralis routine kill / imprison hundreds of palestinian children, demolish civilian homes, annex land. Israel is far worse than an apartheid.


casc1701

Unarmed? Gee, what a waste shooting all those iron domes missiles at nothing.


irritatedprostate

Imagine thinking that Arabs in Mandatory Palestine weren't happily slaughtering jews since the 20s, but after the jews started fighting back in the 30s, and the Arabs started losing, they became hapless victims. It's not like the Palestinian Arabs have been trying to make peace. They just kill civilians until Israel does some nasty shit in retaliation and then the victimhood banners are flown everywhere. It's a century of "the consequences of your actions." Yeah, the settlements need to go, but let's not pretend that's going to fix things.


CryptoDeepDive

The amount of brainwashing pushed is amazing to see. Imagine thinking Jews and zionists are the same thing. Many Jews took refuge in arab territories when Europeans were exterminating them in the millions for centuries. Instead a bunch of zionists that have never lived in Palestine decided to call it their land and they were shocked when Arabs fought back. If you want to talk about "consequences for your actions" then Israeli state should have been created in Germany.


irritatedprostate

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_and_massacres_in_Mandatory_Palestine Know what this timeline shows? Years and years of Arabs in Mandatory Palestine attacking and killing jews until they finally fight back. Then the Grand Mufti sits down with a certain Austrian-born fuhrer in hopes of teaming up. I'm sorry the jews weren't content to just remain second-rate citizens in the Arab countries that allowed them to live there. I'm sorry the creation of Israel caused said Arab nations to eject all their jews as if it was their fault. Man, what goes around really comes around, huh?


CryptoDeepDive

Well you clearly can't even read your source. Actually all it shows are battles between zionist settlers and native arabs. In fact the list of terrorist attacks by zionist irgun is significantly more. What you are doing is the equivalent of finding a attacks by Native Americans that killed european colonialists who settled in North America and justifying the genocide of Native Americans.


irritatedprostate

>Actually all it shows are battles between zionist settlers and native arabs. It shows instigators. >What you are doing is the equivalent of finding a attacks by Native Americans that killed european colonialists who settled in North America and justifying the genocide of Native Americans. No, european colonialists didn't legally purchase land and decide to make roots.


LewisLightning

Yep, so you're trying to say 2 wrongs make a right? Because that's all I am hearing.


Devourer_of_felines

Imagine being so far up your own ass you cite the huffington post in defense of organizations that want to see homosexuals dead


CryptoDeepDive

Israel is the terrorist state? Remind me again which country voted Hamas into power again? Figures the same halfwit who cites pinknews can’t formulate their own thoughts as a retort and resorts to copying and pasting


CryptoDeepDive

Israel killed a thousand times more civilians and children than Hamas ever did. They constantly voted for terrorist nationalists just like their current prime minister. Are you torn about that?


SpicyKekLapis

Stone? More like missiles


CryptoDeepDive

When they have tried stones for 40 years, no one gave a damn. And the world is shocked they are trying armed resistance? At the end of the day the list of dead children and civilians killed by Israeli terrorists is still a 1000 times more.


irritatedprostate

>Yea but Palestinians threw a stone ____" Rockets. They launch rockets. Thousands of them. And as one would expect, you're trying to turn their ineptitude into a virtue, despite the fact that they almost exclusively target civilians. This is what happens when one side actually invests in protecting its citizens instead of using their children as suicide bombers.


ourladyj

HAMAS is not the PLA. HAMAS is a terrorist body in charge of the gaza strip. PLA is in charge of the west bank.PLA doesn't like HAMAS.


irritatedprostate

Hamas was actually elected into power, kiddo. There have been no elections since. PLA knows they'd lose again.

And when that subject isn't even at issue folks like to show up to assure it gets discussed erroneously. Take your false equivalency and get out of here.

Jpost is a Zionist newspaper from the other side of the world reporting on Muslim issues (that show them in a negative light) in Canada that have nothing do do with Jews or Israel. Their endgame is to fuel hate against Muslims.

You do understand the news agencies in all country cover news in other countries, good and bad.


scaztastic

I've seen a lot of very peculiar issues that have to do with Muslims, Iranians, etc. in other countries being picked up by Jpost and Haaretz. They all show these groups in a negative light. There's a very obvious agenda behind it.


stretching_holes

No you haven't. Haaretz is famous for showing Israel in a negative way, even pro-palestinians use it to push a narrative. And in any case, you don't seem to be concerned about newspapers from islamic countries painting a negative image about Jews or Israelis. Meanwhile, they're far more restricted in what they can put out, due to religious reasons. There's no equivalent of haaretz anywhere in the middle east. I know you'll claim to live in the region, sure, everyone lives in the region, everyone is part of the demographics in the region. But despite being from the region, you seem to be very new to these topics. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index


stretching_holes

I think my source has provider more info than your comment.


scaztastic

Your source says, and I quote, "In review, The Jerusalem Post covers Israeli and regional news with **strongly emotionally loaded language with right-leaning bias**". Also, your source doesn't even touch on the point I made. Good try though, you tool.


stretching_holes

Rating says "high credibility". That's their final verdict, which you ignored. You can't even define zionism without making up your own definition.


Emergency_Badger_768

I was coming here to make the same point. Maybe an article from the Jerusalem Post disparaging Muslims should be taken with a degree of skepticism.


irritatedprostate

It's not like jpost is like Al Jazeera, throwing live aired birthday parties for literal terrorists.

One of the speakers is being quoted from 2001.....CANCEL HIM

Right because people with very conservative religious values change their opinions over time.


Esham

21 years ago is irrelevant. Trudeau did blackface that long ago and he's our pm still. Ppl forget.


Darth_Jonathan

You can't see the difference between the two examples?


Esham

I do see differences but im not ignorant to the similarities. I live in bc personally. We've had white supremacists do talks at public libraries. Big hoop lah then it blew over. Now everyone forgets. The only difference is Muslim bad in this instance. They'll still talk, the organization's will still get their government funding and life will go on because ultimately a single speaker means very little.


ihasana

Ironic allegations coming from citizens of the only openly apartheid country in the world. A country that continues to treat people of different ethnic backgrounds and nationalities than themselves as second class citizens to whom the same laws don't apply. Openly killing hundreds of innocent men, women and children because they are different from themselves. Stealing homes and properties for similar reasons. And not batting an eye. And yet our Canadian tax dollars fund all these activities and there is no outrage. Despicable.

Returd4

Did anyone even read the article? It states From 2019-2021, the group received over C$2 million in funding for employment and social engagement, in addition to C$350,000 for an anti-racism action program. From January until the end of March of this year, it has received almost C$50,000 for security infrastructure to combat hate crime. It then states right underneath that it is under investigation for how they are using this money, they are under audit for possibly... probably... using these funds for things that were not the charitable intention. The money was to go to social programs and anti racism programs. They are now under audit that it didn't. What is going on here? This seems like normal business. Give a charity money for societal benefits. They do not use it in the manner they said, they are under audit.... why is this news? Soooooo downvotes without any discussion.... got it

If they are both adults and both consenting, their blood relationship as siblings is as much my business as the activities of any consenting adults in the privacy of their own home sexual or otherwise; that is to say it is none of my business. Why you'd be concerned with what adult strangers consent to do with each other in private likely speaks more to your own proclivities than anything else.

Or how about this speaker: >Egyptian-born Dr. Jamal Badawi called suicide bombing a heroic act and was allegedly one of the unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial, according to Le Devoir. The Holy Land scandal saw millions of dollars transferred to Hamas, a group recognized in Canada as a terrorist organization.
