Concerned Parent/Taxpayer Silenced By Radical Ottawa Trustee

By Elie Cantin-Nantel – March 27, 2023 Facebook

On March 7,Ottawa progressive public school trustee Dr. Nili Kaplan Myrth shut down a concerned parent speaking at a yesterday’s board meeting “on the grounds that (his speech created) an unsafe environment for people who identify as gender diverse.” e, YouTube  https://twitter.com/i/status/1633548792719917056. Kaplan-Myrth pushed to impose more masking last Autumn. She is a strident LGBTQ advocate. Notice the argument that any criticism of the LGBTQ agenda may make the “gender diverse” feel unsafe. This argument that you hear increasingly from the censorship lobby is used to silence any dissent on key issues.

The parent Nick Morfito, appearing as a delegation at a board meeting, said: “Trans students are allowed to use the same bathroom unsupervised as my daughters.” Trustee Kaplan-Myrth interrupted and accused Mr. Morfito’s words of creating “an unsafe environment for those who identify as gender diverse. I ask you to end your delegation”; in other words, shut up. The meeting was then adjourned, thus, silencing the parent. Another concerned parent can be heard saying to the censorious trustee: “Who gave you the right to tell him he can’t speak. You work for the public!”

True North News (March 27, 2023) continues. Many “online petitions are demanding the resignation of progressive Ottawa public school trustee Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth amid her controversial conduct during board meetings.

The first petition was shut down by Change.org, with the platform claiming it violated its “community guidelines in relation to hate speech.” A new petition has since been started and has received thousands of signatures.

The original petition came after Kaplan-Myrth silenced a father concerned about biological males using girls’ washrooms at a March board meeting – claiming his speech created “an unsafe environment for people who identify as gender diverse.” 

Kaplan-Myrth responded to the first petition by calling for it to be shut down; claiming it was “transphobic hate speech” that actively discriminated against LGBTQIA people. “We must continue to speak against transphobia, homophobia, racism, antisemitism, misogyny,” she said.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) issued a statement condemning the petition as a “scurrilous attack”, and also wrote to Change.org to ask them to remove the petition, as reported by the Ottawa Citizen. 

The removal of the first petition prompted an Ottawa parent living in Kaplan-Myrth’s zone to start a new one. True North spoke to the parent, who asked to remain anonymous and is using a pen name on Change.org.

“Living in the Alta Vista area, it concerns me sending my kids to an OCDSB school, having my representative be trustee Kaplan-Myrth and having her not willing to listen to anything that I have to say that differs with her opinion,” said the parent. 

The Ottawa parent believes Kaplan-Myrth has not abided by OCDSB policies and its code of conduct, and thus needs to be reprimanded. “Ultimately I believe it would be best if she resigned.” 

Kaplan-Myrth has since accused the parent behind the new petition of being a bully and a dangerous person “fuelled by hate”.

The parent noted that he “finds it interesting that trustee Kaplan-Myrth is asking for censorship of things like these petitions and other views, despite the fact that by doing that she is going against what she is said about her views being censored. She has made it quite clear that she does not want her views to be disregarded or censored as she believes them to be correct.” 

He hopes the new petition will lead to “a productive discussion about trustee Kaplan-Myrth’s behavior and her lack of decorum in the meetings.” He added that he “worded (the) petition in a fairly neutral tone” amid not wanting to subject her to hate.

.Kaplan-Myrth has been the centre of controversy since she was elected to the board in October 2022.

Last November, she attempted to impose a strict medical mask mandate in OCDSB schools. The latter was rejected by other trustees amid outrage from parents and students – with several telling True North they would have not complied had it been implemented.

Kaplan-Myrth also famously claimed on a TVO panel that the word “normal” is a language used by the far-right and ableist. 

True North reached out to Kaplan-Myrth, the OCDSB and Change.org for comment, but they did not respond in time for publication.

Haldimand-Norfolk top doc alleges ‘relentless harassment’ in lawsuit against former employer

Dr. Matt Strauss claims his public criticism of COVID-19 health measures led to a hostile work environment

Haldimand-Norfolk’s top doctor is suing his former employer.

As first reported by CBC News, acting medical officer of health Dr. Matt Strauss is seeking more than $600,000 in damages and lost wages from Queen’s University and Dr. Stephen Archer, head of the school’s department of medicine.

Archer was Strauss’s direct supervisor when he was an assistant professor of medicine at Queen’s from July 2019 to November 2021, at which time Strauss also practiced internal medicine and worked in the ICU at Kingston General Hospital.

In a statement of claim filed on Oct. 20, Strauss alleges that his time at Queen’s was marked by “consistent and relentless harassment … humiliation and belittlement” by Archer and other Queen’s employees — motivated, Strauss claims, by his public criticism of lockdowns and other health measures implemented in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Strauss claims the “malicious, aggressive, condescending and defamatory statements” levelled by Archer in emails and letters to Strauss and his colleagues damaged his reputation and forced him to resign due to the hostile work environment.

Archer’s criticisms of Strauss’s COVID-related newspaper columns and tweets caused Strauss to “become upset and anxious,” according to the claim.

None of the allegations in the claim have been tested in court. A statement of defence has not yet been filed.

“I am not sure how the CBC became aware of a recent court filing issued by my lawyer,” Strauss posted to Twitter Thursday evening.

“It is my strong preference that this matter remain between the parties involved. Therefore, I will not be providing any comment about this case.

“That said, I am a firm believer in academic freedom, particularly on matters of significant public interest. I will continue to advocate for this principle in my public commentary.”

In response to a request for comment sent to the university and Archer, the university said it was “aware of the statement of claim filed with the court.”

“The university has not been served with the claim and therefore has not filed, nor been required to file a statement of defence. As such, the claim represents only the plaintiff’s perspective,” the statement read.

“As this is a Human Resources matter, the university will not be commenting further.”

Archer did not respond directly to the request for comment.

According to the publicly available court filing, Archer accused Dr. Strauss of “grabbing headlines for the wrong reasons.”

“You were hired to be a physician not a publicist,” Archer allegedly told him in a December 2020 email included in the statement of claim, adding he was “very concerned about your maturity and professionalism and believe your professed love of freedom of expression is more self centered than in service of our patients or trainees.”

Strauss said his superior defamed him by suggesting he was “promulgating false information and not caring about the health of the public” while “seeding mistrust for public health institutions” through “dangerous and misleading” public comments.

Archer’s public censure of Strauss’s activities came despite what Strauss claims was an “entirely positive” annual performance review in March 2021.

Strauss said Archer targeted him in part because he had signed the Great Barrington Declaration, an open letter published in October 2020 calling for people at least risk of adverse affects from COVID-19 to be allowed to live with few public health restrictions in order to encourage the development of herd immunity.

Archer published a five-point refutation of the Great Barrington Declaration on the university’s website in the following month.

Strauss contends the “eight months of harassment” he allegedly experienced at Queen’s was a calculated campaign by Archer to get him to quit his job. After raising objections regarding how he was being treated, Strauss claims Archer informed him in June 2021 his contract would not be renewed after it came to an end the following year.

Strauss argues that left him with no choice but to leave the university in November 2021, with more than seven months left on his contract.

That September Strauss was hired as acting medical officer of health in Haldimand-Norfolk.

The lawsuit seeks at least $600,000 in damages — including half a million for defamation — along with wages and benefits lost due to what Strauss’ filing describes as his “constructive dismissal.”

Strauss also wants the university to delete what he considers defamatory statements made about him by Queen’s staff from any university platform and prevent their further dissemination.

A doctor in Germany, Dr. Andreas Noack, was arrested by the Police on Wednesday in what appears to be a gross violation of personal liberty. The reason for his arrest is not yet clear but he was arrested while live-streaming on YouTube from his own home. The Police barged into his home when he was live on his YouTube channel.

The manner of his arrest presents some extremely disturbing scenes. He appeared too shocked to respond while the Police continued to yell at him until he lied down in the ground. The arrest of Dr. Andreas Noack occurred after the passage of the ‘Infection Protection Law’ which was protested heavily by vast sections of the German population. The arrested doctor was supposedly providing medical assistance to anti-lockdown protesters.

According to reports, “The reasons for the police raid and arrest … have not yet been officially revealed. However, there are rumors [unconfirmed reports] that Dr. Andreas Noack provided medical assistance to hundreds of protestors during lockdown protests against the German government.” Reportedly, Dr. Andreas Noack was under investigation for “being non-compliant with the COVID-19 lockdown laws enacted by the German government.”

The ‘Infection Protection Law’ has drawn a lot of flak and has been compared by some to the Nazi era Enabling Act. Like the law that was passed in 1933, the recently passed law also confers certain legislative powers to the government, which hitherto rested only with the Legislature, that is, the Parliament. The Infection Protection Law provides the government with a legal basis to restrict the fundamental rights guaranteed by the German Constitution. – article continues below –

The German government has until now relied on decrees to curb the pandemic, a move that was criticised by all parties and deemed to be unconstitutional by some. The newly passed law rectifies that problem for the German government. Furthermore, as per provisions of the law, an infected person or a person suspected to be suffering from the infection can be ordered to refrain from practicing certain professions. It also provides for quarantines and curfews.

Thus, the law would permit the government to legally enforce lockdowns which could entail the shutting down of shops and impose restrictions on social contact, rules for mandatory masks, the stoppage of sporting events and other such measures to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic. The passage of the law was protested by numerous Germans and anti-lockdown sentiments have been steadily rising over time.

Topham Gagged & 6 Month Conditional Sentence: One More Victim of Zionist Thought Control

Topham Gagged & 6 Month Conditional Sentence: One More Victim of Zionist Thought Control
 
Asked whether he had anything to say before sentencing, Arthur Topham made a statement that will ring through Canadian history about the nature of free speech and the motivations of an extremely moral and honest man.. He posted what he had as a critic of Zionism, not out of malice or hatred, but driven by a moral imperative to warn people of a perceived danger. ““I felt that I had a duty as a Canadian citizen to alert the general public of an imminent threat … the interests of the Jewish lobby,” said Topham in court March 13, according to the CBC. 

 
Arthur Topham’s 10 year ordeal of harassment for being a strong critic of Zionism, ended in a Quesnel courtroom when he was sentenced, having been convicted in November 2015 on one count of violating Canada’s notorious “hate law” Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code, as a result of postings highly critical of Zionism and organized Jewry. Ironically, the charge revolved around books readily available from mainline online booksellers.. The Internet dissident became technically another political prisoner in Canada’s sordid attack on free speech. Amnesty International defines a political prisoner as a person punished solely for the non-violent expression of his political, religious or cultural views.
 
Judge Bruce Butler sentenced Mr. Topham to a six month suspended sentence during which he must reside at his home, refrain from alcohol, report to his probation officer and not post anything on the Internet. After that, he faces two years of probation. On March 10, he shut down his massive  RadicalPress.com website, the contents of which, we assume will be mirrored by others in less repressive lands than Canada.

CAFE Director Paul Fromm with political prisoner Arthur Topham in Quesnel, BC
 
“In a sense, the thought control freaks got part of what they wanted — the silencing of this dissident,” said Paul Fromm, Director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression which had backed Mr. Topham during the first legal assault by complainant Harry Abrams,a complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission under the now repealed Sec. 13. CAFE continued to back him when Abrams, a B’nai Brith spokesman in Victoria, teamed up with chronic Ottawa complainer Richard Warman who complained to the British Columbia “hate squad” which led to the  Sec. 319 charges.
 
In sentencing Mr. Topham, Judge Butler rejected Crown submissions for a stiffer sentence and 200 hours of community work. The judge also rejected allegations that Mr. Topham indirectly advocated violence. The CBC (March 13, 2017) reported: “One piece that Topham called ‘satire’ advocated the forced sterilization of all Jews. ‘He does not call for violence; his views were political satire,’Butler told the sentencing hearing. ‘It is not his intent to indirectly incite violence.’ Butler ruled that Topham deliberately used the internet to disseminate anti-Semitic information but said the man was not calling for violence.” The satire in question was Israel Must Perish, a parody Mr. Topham wrote of a hideous blueprint for genocide Germany Must  Perish, written in 1941 by an American Jew named Theodore Kaufman, calling for the mass sterilization of German Jews after the war, an act which would eliminate the Germans as a people within a few decades.
No one was happy with the sentence. Free speech supporters see the gagging of Arthur Topham as one more atrocity committed under Pierre Trudeau’s fadulent Charter of minority special rights and diminished Majority freedoms.
Defence lawyer Barclay Johnson sadly observed: “The difference between Canada and the Soviet gulags is only one of degree. The communists put dissidents into a physical prison. The gag order is a psychological; prison imposed to enforce a multicultural society. The Charter is little more than a fine document to be hung on an office wall. It looks good. However, judges have repeatedly gutted promised rights like freedom of speech and invented rights not mentioned, like same sex marriage.”
The mainstream media, even in British Columbia, were strangely silent. “The Jewish lobby doesn’t like this sentence,” remarked Dr. James Sears publisher of the satirical YOUR WARD NEWS, another target of arch- complainer Richard Warman.’s  “They were hoping for a harsher sentence and, then, the controlled media would have crowed about a ‘Nazi’ tongue-lashed by a judge and sent away for a long prison term.”
Their victory over the former teacher,  placer miner and publisher. after a decade of attack seemed like a mouthful of bitter ashes to B’nai Brith. “B’nai Brith Canada, which had alerted the RCMP to Topham’s activities back in 2007, said it was “strongly disappointed” with the sentencing. In a statement, Michael Mostyn, CEO, described the sentence as “a mere slap on the wrist which will do little to protect Canadian Jews or preserve the multicultural mosaic of our society. Mr. Topham is a committed and unrepentant Jew-hater, who persisted in publishing lurid anti-Semitic content on his website throughout this legal process,’ Mostyn continued. ‘Canada’s laissez-fair approach to hate crimes continues to fail minority groups and puts them at increased risk of attacks against their lives or property.’ Mostyn said the timing of the lax sentence was especially disturbing ‘as Canada’s Jewish community reels from a series of bomb threats against our community centres, inspired by the same hateful ideology that drives Mr. Topham.’” (Canadian Jewish News, March 14, 2017)
