On last night's show, I reported on the media's lack of coverage of an Ontario church that was vandalized with ISIS inspired graffiti.
The incident has received little attention, with the CBC relegating the story to the local news page on their website.
The perpetrators haven't been apprehended yet and I'm open to the idea that this was a hoax, but I can't help but think that if this was a mosque, the story would receive national attention from outraged leftists.
But a Christian church? We need to keep in mind that most reporters in Canada are of Christian background. Something like 95% of main stream media reporters in Canada are of Christian background. There is the sense among those reporters that they do not have to cover stories of anti-Christian graffiti because it is just part of who we are as a nation, or that Christians can look after themselves.
We should be more vigilant. Muslims are in the same boat as Jews in Canada. An attack on one is an attack on the other. That 95% who are thrilled that Sikhs are part of government because they look so good in their turbans can be patronizing to Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, and others.
Ezra Levant should be more careful. In order to gain subscriptions he sometimes tries to whip up the politics of division. We are in it together.

Bull crap.

Oh yeah, double standards.
