  • Populism, White Nationalism and Conservative Political Parties
    Problematizing Canadian exceptionalism: A study of right- populism, white nationalism and Conservative political parties OÑATI SOCIO-LEGAL SERIES, VOLUME 10, ISSUE 6 (2020), 1166–1192: GOVERNING THE POLITICAL: LAW AND THE POLITICS OF RESISTANCE DOI LINK: HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.35295/OSLS.IISL/0000-0000-0000-1127 RECEIVED 11 JANUARY 2019, ACCEPTED 04 MAY 2020 LAURA J. KWAK ∗ Abstract The myth that Canada has resisted the “West’s populist wave” persists despite evidence that demonstrates otherwise. This article traces how the assumption that Canada has avoided the rise of right-wing populism and white nationalism is tethered to the fiction that Canada has been a raceless society. After briefly reviewing the myth of racelessness and the history of right-populism in Canada, the article explores how the Reform Party of Canada conceptualized “the people” in racialized terms. This article examines how the Conservative Party of Canada’s appeals to symbolic “diversity” and denial of systemic oppression have enabled more overt forms of racism. By examining the recent rise of hate crimes, this article makes the case that a direct link can be traced between the Conservative government’s seemingly neutral discourses about the preservation of Canadian “heritage” and “common values” and the re-emergence of right-wing populism and the re-emboldening of white nationalism in Canada. Key words Right-populism; racial governance; Conservative Party of Canada; Canada Resumen El mito de que Canadá ha resistido la “ola populista de Occidente” perdura a pesar de que se puede demostrar lo contrario. Este artículo expone que la aceptación generalizada de que Canadá ha evitado el auge del populismo de derechas y del nacionalismo blanco está unida a la ficción de que Canadá ha sido una sociedad sin razas.

  • More Than Just Terrorists?: Constructions of Canadian
    MORE THAN JUST TERRORISTS?: CONSTRUCTIONS OF CANADIAN MUSLIM IDENTITIES IN THE CANADIAN DAILY PRESS A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Guelph by MEGAN NICHOLSON In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September, 2011 © Megan Nicholson, 2011 ABSTRACT MORE THAN JUST TERRORISTS?: CONSTRUCTIONS OF CANADIAN MUSLIM IDENTITIES IN THE CANADIAN DAILY PRESS Megan Nicholson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2011 Professor Emerita Linda A. Wood Discursive psychology was used to analyze constructions of Canadian Muslim identities in the Canadian mainstream daily press. News and opinion discourse from a six-month period (November 1, 2008 - April 30, 2009) was examined. Whereas previous research has typically focused on negative news coverage, I examined the full range of identity portrayals of Canadian Muslims available in the daily press. Not unexpectedly, the most overtly negative identity constructions of Canadian Muslims were found in coverage of terrorism trials. In that coverage, the accused were typically worked up as endorsing an extreme interpretation of Islam. These extreme descriptions of the accused may suggest a particularized and therefore non-representative Muslim identity. Negative identity was also constructed in articles that reported on Canadian Muslims’ interactions with the legal and immigration systems: the behaviours of some Canadian Muslims (e.g., polygamy) were formulated as a threat to mainstream Canadian social values. The coverage also dealt with the issue of discrimination against Canadian Muslims. The case for discrimination was accomplished via comparison (e.g., government treatment of Muslim versus non-Muslim Canadians). However, in some coverage, Canadian Muslims were indirectly and subtly portrayed as possibly deserving of discriminatory treatment.

  • The Demise of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act: Reappraising the ‘Battle for Free Speech’
    The Demise of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act: Reappraising the ‘Battle for Free Speech’ by Dax D’Orazio A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Economy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015, Dax D’Orazio Abstract In 2013, Bill C-304 repealed Section 13 (s. 13) of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Although the law used broad language, it had not garnered much attention until a concerted campaign sought its repeal. This thesis argues that the key to understanding s. 13’s demise is the way in which the hate speech backlash exploited the growing ideological belief that Islam is antagonistic to, if not incompatible with, democracy. This is evidenced by the fringe bloggers that coalesced around a conspiratorial theory of ‘Eurabia’ to turn s. 13 into a national debate. Yet, the debate changed significantly once in the mainstream to reflect a concern for free speech based upon manufactured and negative perceptions of Muslim hate speech complainants. Consensus among major Canadian newspapers is an indication of how Canadian identity was (re)constructed as essentially Western and against Muslim Others who were seen as parasitic upon the tolerant excesses of liberalism. i Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Radha Jhappan, and second reader, Stacy Douglas. Your knowledge, patience and care are humbling. I could not have asked for more helpful committee members and I very much appreciated your encouragement throughout this process.

  • The Development of Single-Faith Broadcasting in Canada
    THE CANADIAN 'ELECTRONIC CHURCH' McMaster University The Canadian 'Electronic Church'; The Development of Single-faith Broadcasting in Canada By Rkhard T. Brooks, H-B.A. rtiaI fulfillment of die degree of Mas~r o~ Arts, In pa t f McMaster Ul1lVerslty DepartmeB 0 m........."""_... , Hamilton, Ontario August 2003 MASTERS OF ARTS (2003) McMaster University (Department of History) Hamilton, Ontario Title: The 'Canadian Electric Church:' The Development of Single-faith Broadcasting in Canada Author: Rich Brooks Hons. B.A. (McMaster University) Supervisor: Dr. M. Gauvreau Number of Pages: xii, 157. " ABSTRACT This study investigates the advent and evolution of the Canadian 'electronic church' phenomenon as well as analyzing the creation of single-faith broadcasting in Canada It analyzes the role the federal government has played in circumscribing and directing religious broadcasting in twentieth-century Canada. Methodologically, it departs from many important studies of religion in society by adopting a cultural rather than demographic approach. This approach draws attention to the inner workings of federal regulatory bodies and religious broadcasters; where both cultural forces during the twentieth-century, negotiated a place for religious broadcasting in Canadian society. The argument suggests that during the twentieth-century, single-faith broadcasting in Canada and elements of the American 'electric church' phenomenon were circumscribed by federal regulatory bodies in order to ensure that some salient aspects of American fundamentalist religious culture and 'home grown' religious ministries focused on proselytization, did not transplant themselves in the Canadian broadcasting system. Due to some over-the-air radio disputes among religious broadcasters during the 1920s, all aspects centered on single-faith broadcasting and single-faith ownership of radio stations were banned in 1932, effectively placing the control over mass communications in the hands of the federal government.

Later today, the Canadian government will formally apologize — again — for our nation’s long-standing policy of forcing native children to attend residential Editor: Marni Soupcoff (e-mail) schools. Beyond the obvious trauma involved with separating children from their parents, the policy led to the abuse of thousands of children at the hands of inadequately trained (and, in some cases, sadistic) teachers and supervisors. Such emotional scars no doubt have stayed with the victims throughout their lives. And it would be a hard-hearted pundit who would cast doubt on a gesture ostensibly intended to palliate their suffering, even in some small way, with a solemn, official expression of contrition. POPULAR George Jonas on That pundit is me. the Maxime Bernier scandal: There are at least six good reasons why the Canadian government’s Julie Couillard is ongoing self-flagellation over residential schools is objectionable — and hardly a tramp why today’s apology shouldn’t be uttered. David Frum on 1. Apologies such as this one carry little moral weight: The evil that Scott transpired in residential schools was the responsibility of a different McClellan's new generation of political and religious leaders.

Resistance is fruitful As politics gets increasingly polarized, much online media has become control-left, alt-right By Chris Berthelot ADIO SILENCE. This characterized my first encounter with The Rebel Media, the ultra- conservative, online media outlet and brainchild of conservative Canadian pundit Ezra Levant. Most of my interview requests went unanswered or were rejected. This was odd considering the bombastic, in- your-face spirit of Levant and Rebel contributors such as Brian Lilley, Faith Goldy, Gavin McInnes and others. In one of the few exchanges Ezra Levant’s business card from his time in law school we had, Levant shut down shows an early tendency towards self-deprecating any possibility for his staff to humour. comment about The Rebel and what it’s like to work there: “I am the spokesman for our company.” 1 | P a g e Indeed, Levant is the Voice of The Rebel.

  • Chasing a Mirage : the Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State / Tarek Fatah
    Advance Reviews Tarek Fatah has dared to question the received wisdom about the centrality of the Islamic State to the destiny of the universal Muslim community. He shows through painstaking, meticulous research that the sooner the Muslims rid themselves of the deadweight of wasteful and vain centuries of tribal and clannish feuds and sectarian strife in the name of true Islam and the Islamic state the greater will be their chances of getting out of the rut of obscurantism and fanaticism. Like all other civilized religious communities of the world the Muslims too need to adopt secularism and pluralism as an integral part of their social and political orders. I am sure this book will generate much-needed critical discussion on political Islam. Ishtiaq Ahmed, Ph.D. Professor of Political Science, University of Stockholm, Sweden. Visiting Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS), Singapore Chasing a Mirage should be required reading for the Left in the West who have mistakenly started believing that Islamists represent some sort of anti-imperialism. Tarek Fatah convincingly demonstrates that the Islamist agenda is not only medieval and tribal, it is misogynist and reactionary and has been a serious threat to progressive forces throughout history. The agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Jamaat- e-Islami must never be confused with the struggle for social justice, equality and enlightenment. Chasing a Mirage is an extremely valuable contribution to the fi ght by progressive Muslims against Islamist fascism. Farooq Tahir Secretary General Pakistan Labour Party In Chasing a Mirage, Tarek Fatah takes a unique look at Islamic history, one that may cause some discomfort among the orthodoxy.
