“Social media companies have played a really important role in amplifying those sentiments of hate that are being circulated on the internet. It makes it even more important for the government to move forward in a really focused way with the legislation they are working on to address the issue of online hate and harms, and ways in which we can not just encourage but co-opt social media platforms to assume responsibility for those things that appear on their sites.”



- Shimon Koffler Fogel, CIJA CEO



CIJA continues to raise the issue of the importance of a consistent, cross-government and departmental approach to ensuring no funding is provided to groups harbouring hate.



In an interview <[link removed]> on Global News <[link removed]>, CIJA President & CEO Shimon Koffler Fogel spoke about how Laith Marouf's organization, CMAC, was awarded more than $500,000 for participation in CRTC hearings and how this transaction must also be reviewed and addressed. The CRTC has now announced an internal review.
