A rookie Liberal MP defied the law and his government in service of a state committing a live streamed holocaust. Because it was on behalf of Israel it will likely pass with little uproar.
A week ago, Toronto MP Vince Gasparro released an unusual video in which he announced that the anti-genocide Irish rap group Kneecap was banned from Canada. In it Gasparro declared that Kneecap “publicly displayed support for terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas”.
The announcement received significant media coverage with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) and B’nai Brith immediately celebrating the move. The genocide lobby had been pushing to block Kneecap from scheduled performances in Toronto and Vancouver next month.
But Kneecap hasn’t been informed of the decision by the Canadian government. Now Movement Media Hub is reporting that Gasparro “went rogue”. In a release they noted, “sources inside the Prime Minister’s Office have confirmed that Irish rap group Kneecap was never officially banned from Canada, despite Liberal MP Vince Gasparro’s public statements. According to a senior PMO insider, Gasparro went rogue in making the announcement, lied about receiving authorization from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and may have committed a serious breach of the federal Privacy Act, an unprecedented scandal in Canadian history.” Their press release quoted an unnamed source noting, “The PMO explicitly asked MP Gasparro whether he had IRCC’s authorization to make his announcement — he said yes. That was false. No decision had been made by IRCC or the PMO. His statement was completely unauthorized.” (more...)
