Guest: Amira Elghawaby,Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia  Islamophobia and hate is on the rise in Canada. Political rhetoric is growing more divisive. Statistics show a surge in reported hate crimes against visible minorities. And in the middle of it all is Amira Elghawaby, Canada's Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia. Since taking on the role, she has faced relentless pushback and personal attacks. In early March, her office has released a new guide on tackling Islamophobia at a time when tensions appear to escalating in the country. With growing concerns that  rising hate and anti-Muslim sentiment from a U.S. under Trump, could spill over here, Elghawaby's job is cut out for her. In a candid conversation with This Matters, she unpacks all of this, the need for  her newly released guide and the future of her role and work in an increasingly polarized political climate.  This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Sean Pattendon.

As a result of Justin Trudeau catering to a voter demographic he desperately needs to cling to power, it's become open season on Jews and supporters of Israel across Canada. In Episode 24, Marty Gold explains scenes from 1930's Germany in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. He warns, it's going to come to Winnipeg too - because our political leaders fear the mobs. We provide a snapshot of the last week with major incidents of Islamists and far-left radicals intimidating and threatening not only Jewish citizens and institutions - but a Trudeau event with the Italian Prime Minister and a Liberal Party fundraiser, both in Toronto. Trudeau claimed that pro-Palestine demonstrators were "peaceful protesters" when this started; now they are chanting antisemitic slurs, blood libels like "Gaza is a genocide", and "death to Jews". A key goal- for Trudeau to resume funding antisemitic front group UNRWA, no matter its support for Hamas and hiding kidnappers. And he caved. Part 1 - Facts the Winnipeg media don't tell the public, starting with how the January attack on Edmonton City Hall was, ⁠as we told Coun. Ross Eadie⁠, a terrorist attack. Then we have the details about the 'student' groups bragging about stopping Trudeau's reception for Giorgia Meloni and complaining they're being 'vilified' for chasing a cabinet minister and screaming, shoving and spitting at seniors. Trudeau's "anti-Islamophobia" envoy Amira Elghawaby ran cover for the thugs. Hours later a Thornhill synagogue was targeted with noisy megaphoned chants and retched offensive signs, and the mob made police back off making an arrest for assault. 17.40 What happens when authorities do nothing? We describe the Jew-hating posters promoting an Intifada, plastered in public the next morning- and we have audio of a blockade of a Liberal fundraiser that night and harassment of donors because they "support genocide". A CUPE leader was front and centre in the melee. The intimidation extended to a Raptors game, where "Free Our Hostages" sweatshirts - advocating for kidnapped Israelis- were deemed too political for a sport that religiously parades BLM and diversity causes. 24:17 Part 2- Intentional intimidation of Jewish residents and facilities in Trudeau's town as police stood down. We have a round-up of aggressive mob incidents in Montreal at McGill University and at the oldest Synagogue in Canada- where there's a Holocaust museum. You'll hear the "pro-Palestinian" chants to kill Jews and threats of ethnic cleansing of Israel - did Winnipeg media mention it? On Wednesday, the urban terrorists targeted yet another synagogue in Toronto. Yet Trudeau's cabinet ministers lied about caring about Jewish safety and defended UNRWA. Marty provides more background on Hamas obstructing and stealing aid, creating the propaganda of "mass starvation" that helps fuel the protests. 41.50- Selina Robinson was a BC cabinet minister in January. Now she's left the party of 'inclusion' and⁠ issued a scorching letter ⁠citing antisemitic bias and a pro-Hamas slant inside the NDP caucus that has abandoned BC's Jews. “Where are you when protesters, their faces covered, march through our campuses intimidating young Jewish adults…? Where are you when young Jewish students get trapped in bathrooms? Where are your ideals of [an] inclusive society?” 48:18 Part 3 - The bigger picture is an attempt to normalize slaughter and violence under the banner of "decolonization and liberation." Marty walks through ⁠an analysis by Seth Franzman⁠ that describes the Hamas attack on October 7 at the behest of Iran and other nefarious actors "... to reset the entire Middle East and also have global ramifications... asserting that any mass killing by Hamas is acceptable... " It's "a dry run for genocide basically, to wrap genocidal massacres in the "resistance" agenda...and see if people in the West would accept this." Is that the Winnipeg and Canada we want?

Guests: Raisa Patel and Asmaa Malik It was Jan. 26 when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed Amira Elghawaby, a visibly Muslim woman, as point-person on Islamophobia and just days later, Elghawaby found herself at the centre of a media storm with government officials calling for her resignation. Why? A 2019 opinion piece Elghawaby co-wrote about Quebec's controversial Bill 21 resurfaced, in which she quoted from a poll that said support for the bill was linked to anti-Muslim sentiment. New reaction saw a dizzying wave of criticism from Quebec and members of the federal government that gave her the job, raising serious questions about Islamophobia in this country. Toronto Star Raisa Patel and Asmaa Malik, an associate professor of journalism at Toronto Metropolitan University, join “This Matters” to discuss. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green and Paolo Marques. Audio sources: CPAC and Global News
