Group representing Canadian Muslim donors pulls back from Liberal Party over stance on Gaza (www.cbc.ca)
 

The donor group is made up mostly of Canadian Muslim professionals, such as lawyers and doctors. Formed in December 2014, the group helped Justin Trudeau to his first election victory in 2015.

The group says it has directed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Liberal Party annually since December 2014. One member of the group — whose donation records CBC News verified with Elections Canada — has contributed nearly $19,000 to the Liberals since the group's foundation.

The Indigo 11 and Toronto Police’s dubious hate crime narrative (rabble.ca)
 

Contrary to some of the coverage, the Indigo 11 have not been charged with anything hate-related. The Criminal Code does contain certain hate-specific provisions, including prohibitions on the communication of “hate propaganda.” The Code also specifically prohibits hate-motivated mischief, but the provision only applies to property primarily used by an “identifiable group” including places of worship and religious schools, not big box bookstores.

None of these hate-specific offences has been invoked in this case, though Toronto Police have given vague indications that they may yet lay hate propaganda charges, which require the consent of the Attorney General.
