Well, the joke’s on you, Harper. Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Toronto Star, 2011;
Izzy Hirji was one of several hundred students who gathered outside a Conservative Party campaign event in Guelph to encourage his young peers to get out and vote — for whomever they wanted — in the upcoming election.
The 22-year-old veterinary student at the University of Guelph was then kicked out of the event because he had been part of the peaceful mob, which party officials had apparently viewed as protesters.
That’s the tip of the iceberg. Great digging at The Black Rod.
Update – Izzy Hirji responds in the comments.



Set tazers on stun Mr. Spock.
“take him down” ? … sounds violent to me.
exactly how lazy are “journalists”?
DeBeers got it wrong.
Google’s cache is forever.
Terry Milewski lazy??
Naw…look at all the time and energy and accent he puts out just to diss PM Harper.
That takes motivation and determination.
More results from our wonderful educational system.I just hope that when election day arrives dolts like this one will be too hung over from the last rave he attended to even bother to vote.
But but but the CBC assured me that it was totally random, peaceful individuals that were thrown out for no reason whatsoever? And they were so certain that reading peoples facebook pages was a gross invasion of privacy! How could they be so wrong?
/liberal off
Are you sure it’s the same Izzy Hirji?
SDA – always light years ahead of those weenies at msm – I laugh at the attempts of the clueless msm lefties in their attempts to ‘shape’ this election! Egg all over faces!! Forlorn Lorne learned his little lesson, msm will be next. The truth is out there now (thank-you Black Rod) and SDA readers will be laughing out loud at the buffoons on CTV and CBC ‘spinning’ a fairy tale about this young idiot and his ‘exclusion’ from a public meeting. Look what those climate radicals people did in ‘Hope and hog in’? Would anyone in his right mind allow them anywhere near his/her family?
Good job PMSH security team.
Thank-you Kate!!
Kate, The first link should read “Toronto Star 2011”, not “Toronto Star 2010”.
Keep up the great work.
Facebook will now accomplish what CBC will not….
Who let that creep into our country anyway?
Want to see something really disgusting about how some of these kids think? This video is from the band Rise Against. They are actually headlining Edgefest in Toronto this July btw. It depicts a bunch of college age kids planting backpacks with bombs all over a city and then watching it burn at the end. They comments are really chilling like this one, “the end is the seen i want to see all round the word in every majer city but no one would asist in it” and “What`s the difference between terrorists and revolutionists?”

The young female NDPer who was on a CTV panel this afternoon, implied that “trolling Facebook” for information on someone who shows up at a political rally is somehow creepy. What naive youngsters there are working on campaigns!

Email with a complaint about the lack of fact checking for this piece.
First, I would like to congratulate Kate for publishing the truth. It’s amazing what this young Gal has done for all of us.
We are at a very serious crossroads in our country. We have our media doing everything they can to influence the result of this election.
Not just in the Toronto Star and the CBC/CTV
domain, but in small cities like Kelowna B.C.
were the Local paper called the “Courier” runs stories that are not factual and there is nothing we can do about it. Write a letter to the editor challenging falsehoods and they don’t print it.
Machiavelli would be proud of their complicity and deceit
I weep for the children of Canada when they end up in a poverty driven land like Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland and probably the USA.
I’m an old Geezer who has lived through the best of times. If find it a great tragedy that current and new generations will be denied what I have enjoyed.
To be denied true Liberty in ones life just so some elitist cabal can gain power is disgusting.
I have been out knocking on doors during this election in order to influence ordinary Canadians to think very hard about what is true or false and what the real stakes are in this election.
Thank you Kate for being a very effective public leader
If you check out David Akin at http://davidakin.blogware.com/blog/_archives/2011/4/6/4789354.html
you will find a story about Liberal supporters blocked from an Ignatieff event in Quebec. It appears the shoe is on the other foot – can’t wait to see what the MSM has to say about this!
RLP,
You will be waiting a long time. If it isnt about Harper then they have no interest.
The only counter to that is that they cannot sustain the negative for much longer unless the polls show deterioration. Even the media know when they have backed the wrong horse.
The weekend polls will tell….Then the meme will be about setting up the debate narrative….and somehow Iggy, the educated Harvard professor will be portrayed as a bad debater going in.
His “Last Lecture” is an awesome display of post modern relativism, unrestricted pathos and cliche platitudes.
Get it while it’s hot.

Thanx for this RLP. I figured out the response from the MSM……”CRICKETS”.
The French expression for these individuals is agents provocateurs. Since their only purpose was to disrupt the event, it is understandable that they were removed. This particular individual is clearly not a 100 w. bulb, so I wonder who put him up to this.
Notice the cozy connection to the Green Party, too, in Black Rod’s rundown.
I wish I had as much faith in Facebook and blogs as some of you do. I still think most folks get their “news” (cough, hack) from the MSM (newspapers, TV, especially CBC and CTV).
Louise
Not faith. Thought.
Right on and thanks to those who use their valuable time to help reveal a complete picture!
Izzy is a “Roots & Shoots Canada Youth Leadership Council” 2010 member, complete with his own @janegoodall.ca email address. I can feel my knuckles drag as I read his profile:

I’d also like to know if the RCMP made the decision without any input from PM Harper’s staff. (Just like the decision with what type of cars are used to ferry the PM and other VIPs around in.)
SolidFPlus
Are you primate baiting?
It seems the these regressives idea of ‘fighting the mythical global warming is to take cricket bat to anyone who disagrees.
It’s becoming more obvious every day that you have to just assume that everything the MSM tells you is a lie and you should check every single ‘fact’ and word, including and and the.
How can you tell when CBC is making soemthing up?
They’re broadcasting…. aren’t they?
I knew these dirt bags were plants.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that the ‘journalistes’ and MSM reporters/talking heads are simply incompetent, innocuous or naive!
They have a goal, and it’s out to get the Right. They’re front and centre in a brazen, concerted and deliberate assault being waged against anything conservative/white/Christian/male(by and large)/industrious/sceptic/free-thinking/ dangerous enemy, and they’ll not cede without a drop-dead, kick-ass fight! Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got to protect our phoney baloney jobs!. The depths they’ll go to advance their agenda is deplorable. They realize it’s a battle for their survival, and the jig is nearly up.
A brief skimming of the CBC/CTV/Global channels with guest Print Media pundits and University politial scientist hacks illustrates the point perfectly. Unfortunately, much of the dis-enguaged audience swallows the crap.
The biased and slovenly coverage by the likes of Oliver, Fife, LaPhlegm, Weston, Taber, Peter Manhole, the pompous Milewski, – not to mention the abominally stupid Mark Kelly, Rosemary Barton and Evan Solomon – borders on criminal!
FoxNorth can’t come soon enough!
Thanks Rick, typo corrected.
Be nice to see Mr. Akin show some real balls and push this into the public’s view. Probably just be dismissed, as per usual.
Yes, syncro, and for any further concerns I can be reached at solidfplus@janegoodall.com.
I love the Tilted Head of Compassion™ profile pictures, I think they are trying to teach the gorillas to do it
Hi everyone,
This is Izzy, the man in question. I would like to clarify that I was kicked out of the rally without being identified. Nobody that kicked me out knew my name or had researched me beforehand – it was by facial recognition only and no Facebook probing or anything. All the media did in fact, speak the truth.
I apologize for my comments as a young highschool student filled with angst at our governments actions FIVE YEARS AGO. Clearly a naive adolescent as many are at the time, I have grown and matured much since then and am well on my way to obtaining a professional degree. I hardly think my comments should come back to haunt me – it was a joke after all.
As well, I am open to all political parties as long as the issues I care about are represented in their platforms. If currently the only platform that does that is the Green Party, then yes I am proud to support them but that in no means should present a threat at a Harper rally. In fact, the Greens support communication and non-partisan open dialogue amongst people from all ends of the political spectrum.
I am also proud to be able to represent Jane Goodall to youth in Canada, and proud to have delivered the last lecture valedictory speech for my class, which some of you may be mocking, but it was most genuine and a highlight of my life. So please stop harassing me and get on with your lives.
Dear Izzy,
I would love to get on with my live, except that actions of unscrupulous politicians to whom you are such an active and willing helper, constantly threaten it. Please stop aiding those who are threatening our lives and yours will not be scrutinized. It is that simple.
Truly Yours,
Dizzy
What Dizzy said, and I would also like to know WHAT YOU WERE PLANNING ON DOING THERE, AT THE HARPER RALLY….
and the Greens have an agenda that would destroy our economy, so it appears you have quite a bit more “growing up” to do….
We were interested in seeing and listening to what our prime minister, just like everyone else in the audience – we were merely there as citizens to observe, and engage in the political process. My volunteerism and community engagement does not threaten anyone nor do I believe I help unscrupulous people.
@Soccermom: Our difference of opinion on economics is irrelevant to this discussion. Everyone has a right to believe in who represents their values. If you and I share different values, the beauty of the political system is that someone with similar values will be there to represent us – I’m all for supporting any candidate who represents you!
My intention is not to engage in debate so this is my final statement on the manner. Just wanted to clarify what some people are trying to use against me.
In fact, the Greens support communication and non-partisan open dialogue amongst people from all ends of the political spectrum.
From Maoism all the way to Marxism!
Im expecting CBCpravda will be apologizing tonight for their poor research.
after all , you dont get much for a 1.3 billion a year anymore.
OK Izzy
So this AGW thing, you endorse the pretense…. despite overwhelming evidence of manipulated and fraudulent data, collusion by its proponents, and widespread acceptance in the scientific establishment that it has no basis in fact?
And crippling a nation’s economy in the some fanciful ‘save the planet’ bs. You idealists would be the very first to succumb! Misplaced passion, totally unpreparesd for the eventuality!
The Greens immediately dismiss and ridicule anyone with opposing views re “climate change” (is that what they call it nowadays?) so, no, they DON’T encourage open dialogue… notable envirowackos have openly admitted to wanting “deniers” thrown in the gulag for non-submission…so open dialogue? Ummmm, no.
Just wanted to clarify what some people are trying to use against me.
Translation: “oh no, my history as an eco-fascist protestor of Harper is being used against me as I tried to crash an event while part of a mob of eco-fascist protestors organized by an eco-fascist protestor”.
Your motives are as transparent as your lies. Something else to be “proud” of, I’m sure.
Izzy May, Lizzie May, Jack Layton Iggula, God, do these people come any dumber. Between all these morons and the idiotic MSM elevating them to star doofus status, its like we are living in some inverted reality Truman show. Please give Harper a majority to end this stupidity for 4 years at least.
Stay out of the frey until you start paying taxes you little POS
Izzy, you need to grow some integrity.
Your “vote mobs” are clearly Green Party organized, and thus the “non-partisan” claim from their organizers is intentionally deceptive.
You have the good fortune of a supportive media, but that doesn’t excuse your dishonesty.
When the Prime Minister of Canada is being stalked by individuals who invoke hashtags like “surpriseHarper” and “trackHarper”, it should come as no surprise when you’re asked to leave.
Non-partisan groups don’t target political parties. Don’t treat us like we’re stupid. You’re not dealing with journalists here.
That is the beginning and the end of the issue. You are being dishonest. If you wish to be involved politically, then be truthful in what you do.
I’d suggest you begin by making calls to the reporters who were so willingly deceived and apologize.
Adding to what Kate said, Izzy…never mind the hashtags. When you post on Facebook that you want to “take Harper down”, you have absolutely no business complaining when you are removed from a Harper rally by security. None at all.
Kate, exactly. Don’t expect the morons at CTV and CBC to change though as they have too big a hate on for PM Harper.
Right on Kate, john g.
Izzy: “All the media did in fact, speak the truth.”
No they didn’t. They made you out to be an innocent victim, when you had an agenda, as declared on FB.
They implied the RCMP were going overboard, when they were just doing their job, and they also implied that this only ‘happens’ at CPC rallies. We now have info that this is a common occurence at ALL rallies. Mention that to the lazy journos when you apologise,’k?
