Vancouver Man Fired for Historical Dissent<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Dominion Day, some call it Canada Day, many commentators reminded Canadians how much they have to be grateful for. Many burbled on about Trudeau phony Charter (of limited Rights and Freedoms). They cited freedom of speech. Don’t believe it for a moment. Brian Ruhe of Vancouver, who runs a meet up group on UFOs\/ Conspiracy Theories and has posted some you tubes of speeches on historical revisionism, is the latest Canadian to face poverty: job loss is the price, on your own time, away from work, for expressing politically incorrect opinions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CAFE Director Paul Fromm spoke to his group on Sunday May 2 in Vancouver on the menace posed by\u00a0Bill C-51<\/b>. Mr. Ruhe recorded \u00a0a\u00a0YouTube\u00a0<\/b>of the talk and posted it on the\u00a0Internet<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On May 12, he received a phone call from\u00a0 someone calling himself \u201cLama Tsewang<\/b>.\u201d He is not Oriental. Mr. Ruhe says: \u201cHe is a Jew and a Canadian\u00a0 Tibetan Buddhist lama named\u00a0Lama Tsewang<\/b>.\u201d [It\u2019s a weird old world!]\u00a0The caller said: \u201cYour students will know.\u201d Mr. Ruhe teaches Buddhism and meditation at a number of venues in Vancouver. The caller continued: \u201cThe B\u2019nai Brith is after you now. The school board will know about you. You\u2019re a fascist, There is no free speech for fascists. The school board will know. I\u2019ll make sure that you are fired. Fascism doesn\u2019t deserve free speech. No free speech for fascism.\u00a0Paul Fromm<\/b>\u00a0is not about free speech and anyone who brings him here cannot teach in a Buddhist temple. If you want to speak the truth, why did you bring\u00a0Paul Fromm<\/b>\u00a0to speak?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Well, apparently, these were not idle threats. Clearly, calls were made and freedom of speech, great in the abstract, means little to many weak employers. Brian Ruhe, a successful and popular instructor, is out of a job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He explains:\u00a0\u00a0“Today Friday July 3, I spoke on the phone with Bettina Boyle at Capilano University. She is the Programme Manager at Continuing Studies & Executive Education.\u00a0 They are dropping me and trying other instructors but will keep me on file in case there is more demand. She said the evaluations of my courses \u00a0—\u00a0Mindfulness Meditation for Stress Reduction —\u00a0\u00a0were good and the attendance was good.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I said that didn’t make sense; if my evaluations were good then they should keep me. That’s what the other institutions have done. She sounded unsure of herself and said they decided on this a few months ago when this decision was made before she came.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then she said they will get someone else for the fall and maybe they could consider me for the winter. I said that didn’t make sense either, because there is so little time, they should keep me for the fall since there’s no time now. They should have told me this months ago if they already knew they were dropping me, I said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I said I believed that the real reason was because of my YouTube videos as I talk about Jewish supremacy and the revisionist history of World War II. She said she would check if there was another reason and call me back. She called back about five minutes later and admitted that they did have complaints and the reason I described was the reason why I was dropped, she admitted. She said they had to be really careful about these things. (So she lied initially.) I said I felt this is a free speech issue so what they’re doing isn’t right. She wouldn’t change her decision so I said I will challenge this. I have over 500 YouTube videos and I could make a video about this, I told her. She said I have the right to do that. I said I understand that, and I asked if that was all? It was, so we finished the conversation and then hung up.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The West End Community Centre didn’t give me a reason. This week I was also fired from the Burnaby School Board but they didn’t tell me the true reason, which is the same. Linda at the Burnaby School Board said that the reason was because they were phasing out some general interest courses in favour of courses which trained people for a job.”<\/p>\n
