Trudeau govt. orders Canada post to cease delivering publication lacking ‘diversity’
Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has ordered Canada Post to cease delivering a controversial publication that the government has deemed to be inconsistent with its “values and stance on inclusiveness and diversity.” “After having carefully considered the recommendations of the independent board of review, I have decided to issue a final prohibitory order that will prevent the delivery of the publication Your Ward News, or any substantially similar material developed by its authors, through Canada Post’s unaddressed bulk mail," said Carla Qualtrough, the minister responsible for Canada Post Corporation, in a Nov. 15 statement . “My decision is consistent with the applicable legislation and the government’s values and stance on inclusiveness and diversity," she added. The minister based her decision on a Board of Review report which makes the case that Your Ward News has regularly published anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi material and so is tantamount to “hate propaganda.” Billiona
