As we all know, because the Trudeau government constantly reminds us, that it is appalled by displays of anti\u002DSemitism and works vigorously to condemn them immediately.
Except that’s not what the testimony of Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen before Parliament’s Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage revealed Friday.From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Hussen said he wished he had condemned Marouf’s ravings earlier but was hamstrung by the bureaucratic process necessary to withdraw a $133,000 grant the government had awarded to Marouf’s Community Media Advocacy Centre to develop an anti-racism strategy for broadcasters.We apologize, but this video has failed to load.
Apparently not, given that Hussen and Marouf jointly announced the anti-racism strategy for broadcasters on April 14, with the feds describing the CMAC as “a non-profit organization supporting self-determination in media through research, relationship-building, advocacy and learning.” This wasn’t a one-off blunder either, as Marouf’s organization also received funding from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
The real story, we suspect, is that the government’s politically correct racism minders didn’t automatically reject Marouf’s hateful ravings, as long as they were couched in hatred of Israel.
