To add even less weight to Mr. Mulroney’s opinions, he broadcasts a tweet by racist pot cheerleader Marc Emery. See attachments. This is ugly hateful rhetoric that Global is broadcasting.  Can you not find someone more knowledgeable and less racist to give airtime to? Someone who could inform and educate Canadians rather than stir up fear and anger like a schoolyard malcontent with a backwards ball cap.

Overall, this was a great example of how Canadian media should approach Palestine coverage by presenting expert and contextualized analysis that challenges dominant narratives, illuminates the realities of Palestinians through the use of international law and human rights.

"In dealing with complex and charged issues such as the Israeli apartheid and now genocide, journalistic standards require special attention be paid to use of language, context, and a clear account of historical events."

"By airing only this partial quote, the CBC segment risks whitewashing Carney’s stance, leaving listeners with the false impression that he is advocating for peace. In reality, his vision legitimizes the position of the occupier—one that aligns with Israel’s ongoing genocide, apartheid, and dispossession of Palestinians."

"I request that you revise this section, rejecting racist language that rationalizes violence against civilians."

"I see a dearth of solid reportage on Israel and Palestine in Canadian media, and I know that pro-Israel groups such as Honest Reporting Canada attack journalists who report critically or even simply provide accurate information on Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, or on its policies and practices toward Palestinians."
