Rex Murphy: The Laith Marouf scandal, for that is emphatically what it is, of a fully public (it was all on Twitter, some on tape and film) antisemite receiving more than half a million taxpayers’ dollars from the government of Canada, caught even the laziest eye. I have observed it was a singular instance of “paying” the fox to raid the chicken house.
However, by the strange twist of things, or Liberals’ communication management (same thing), it had by the end of this week become entwined with a lone protester letting loose the F-word at Chrystia Freeland at an event in Grande Prairie, Alta.
These two are not synonymous. But should anyone try to make a comparison between the two episodes — the first, long-running, dubious beyond thought, financed by the always alert “anti-hate, diversity-wedded” Liberal government, the second perhaps the excited palpitation of the moment — then that anyone is severely lacking in scale and measurement.
