Granted that opinion writing allows for interpretation and argumentation of facts, it must still adhere to fundamental journalistic standards of accuracy, fairness, and responsible framing expected of Canadian news outlets. This op-ed fails to meet those standards and advances precisely the type of unsupported and harmful generalizations the NNC has previously ruled against. Continue reading

The Canadian Association of Journalists’ Ethics Guidelines emphasize that accuracy is a fundamental pillar of responsible journalism. The article should therefore be corrected to clearly identify Israel’s attacks on medical and humanitarian personnel for what they are: violations of international law that constitute war crimes.

As it stands, the article amplifies findings from a biased and methodologically limited survey while omitting critical nuance and sensationalizing its conclusions. In doing so, it misleads readers into believing that a single viewpoint is broadly representative of Iranian Canadians, or of Iranians more generally.

"I particularly appreciated the approach taken in documenting the views from different stakeholders - including activists themselves, their lawyer, and reaching out to the Crown, the City of Montreal, and the police." Continue reading

"Unless Colin can point to specific instances of Palestine solidarity protests becoming criminal, he should not be mentioning the protests that started in response to Israel’s genocide. It has no relevance to this topic other than to parrot the Israeli state narrative that these protestors are antisemitic." Continue reading

"Based on the abundant information available about Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon that was available even at the time this Associated Press article went to press, it should be revised to include that not only that 'attacks in Iran and Gulf Arab countries resumed on Wednesday,' but also, that Israel continued to attack Lebanon after the ceasefire was announced on Tuesday and Wednesday."
