Laith Marouf tweeted a series of offensive antisemitic messages, spurring the federal government to cut funding to the initiative
Canada’s federal government has cut funding to an anti-racism initiative after one of the program’s main consultants was found to have written a series of “reprehensible and vile” tweets.
Hussen said in a statement that “antisemitism has no place in this country” and that he had directed his department to determine how such tweets were initially missed during the vetting process.Photograph: Blair Gable/Reuters Hussen was made diversity minister after the agreement with the CMAC was signed. Because the contract was with the CMAC and not Marouf, it complicated efforts by the government to sever the agreement.
