While Calgary and the nation mourns the murder of young Calgary police officer Sgt. Andrew Harnett, Edmonton Black Lives Matter activist Abdulhakim Dalel issues a tweet literally laughing at the death and implying that the slain officer was corrupt..Harnett’s wife – pregnant with heir unborn child – probably isn’t in on the joke..Will this be the final straw for BLM-friendly politicians and media? Will people of public profile finally call out these extremists or at least stop pandering to them?. MORGAN: Let’s call BLM for what it is. A hate groupScreen grab from Twitter .Black Lives Matter has proven itself to be an extremist group for years by their own activities and statements within Canada and abroad; yet in Calgary Mayor Nenshi and his gang on city council gifted BLM with a $120,000 arts grant in order to promote their cause. Will this latest statement from a prominent BLM activist make the Calgary city council reconsider further virtue signalling through pandering to BLM with tax dollars?.Progressive organizations such as Pride Edmonton let BLM bully them to the point where the 2019 Edmonton Pride parade was cancelled. The 2020 Edmonton Pride parade was cancelled due to COVID-19. Will Pride Edmonton finally tell BLM to go to hell and hold a parade in 2021, or will they continue to cower to an organization that dances on the graves of murdered police officers?.Yusra Khogali is one of the founding leaders of Toronto’s BLM chapter. She referred to white people as being sub-human and mused about how she has to struggle to keep herself from killing them..The incidents of hate and violence from BLM leaders and activists in the United States are simply too long to list not to mention their very well-established streak of anti-Semitism..There are some very real cultural issues that need to be addressed and solved within police forces. Incidents of police violence, sexism and racism are too numerous to ignore. We need to be examining the causes of these issues and making changes to mitigate them. We should be striking task forces and citizens committees to deal with this issue but the extremists within BLM should have no part in these actions..BLM rallies are always peppered with ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards) signs and ACAB graffiti is always left behind after a protest. How can we reasonably work with people like that? We can’t..Had any other organization held such a solid history of violence and hate as BLM, they would have been banned or at the very least marginalized by mainstream organizations and leaders. Instead, our prime minister takes a knee to them. Cancel culture has made elected officials cower in abject terror when it comes to any issue which may involve race. This has allowed BLM to promote their flavour of extremism unchecked for way too long.. MORGAN: Smith’s departure a sign of talk radio’s slow death .Public figures have become complicit in their silence with BLM extremism. They can no longer ignore these statements and actions. They need to actively call out BLM..We are heading into what is sure to be another tumultuous and challenging year. If we are to see any progress with our policing issues, we will only be able to do so without the input and participation of BLM. That means we have to have the courage to call BLM out for what they are which is a group of extremists. Nothing less..Cory Morgan is the Podcast Editor and a columnist for the Western Standard
