Neil Oberman highlights Conservative party hypocrisy on freedom of expression. In service of a genocidal foreign state Pierre Poilievre’s candidate for the Mount Royal riding has been rampaging against freedom of speech and assembly.
Partly due to Oberman’s intervention, I recently spent five days in jail for social media posts critical of Israel. The case against me began with anti-Palestinian influencer Dahlia Kurtz accusing me of harassment for sometimes snarky and biting political commentary. According to the Crown lawyer, the police investigated Kurtz’s allegations against me in the summer and then closed the file. Subsequently, Oberman sent a letter to the Montreal police on Kurtz’ behalf, which prompted the police to reopen the case. The Conservative party candidate watched my bail hearing, which I won, and likely assisted Kurtz’ complaint from the get-go.
After targeting an author, Kurtz complained about a senator. She sent a formal complaint to the Senate ethics commission against BC Senator Yuen Pau Woo for his social media posts in support of my right to criticize Kurtz and Israel. She also complained to the Barreau du Québec (Quebec bar) about my lawyer, John Philpot, criticizing her. It’s highly unlikely Kurtz would have pursued either of these complaints without the assistance of Oberman or his law firm Spiegel Sohmer.
Kurtz posts in support of neo-Nazi groups and “mass deportations”. She labels Prime Minister Trudeau an antisemite and a supporter of terrorists. She mocks Palestinian children and babies. She barely hides her racism, yet Oberman assists Kurtz’s efforts to suppress free speech. (more...)
If Tories support free speech, they’d dump ‘Doberman’ Oberman
