While those previously mentioned incidents gained much more press coverage, and logically so due to the greater scale of the catastrophes in those instances, in the future we may find that the killing of Naim Akl falls into this ugly pattern we see developing in Canada of religious groups being targeted for violence.
Youtube was the censor in this case. If you find an old embedding of the press conference you will see if you try and play the video that it states, “This video has been removed for violating Youtube’s Terms of Service” which means someone in Youtube itself didn’t want the public viewing this press conference.
Craig Chandler a councilor candidate for Calgary Ward 12 while door-knocking around the mostly conservative area should be getting a good response from residents, but going towards the 2021 Calgary municipal election the positive response has been more akin to an overwhelming flood not comparable to the previous election years.
Ten years ago if you heard someone talking about the war on Christianity, it was a likely indicator of potential radicalism and or conspiratorial thinking.

I read about the cancellation of Canada Day and it saddens me. Ask any immigrant and they will tell you how much Canada means to them. Pitched as a country that time and again has been polled as one of the best countries to live in, we should not shut down the celebration of its inception. To me there is no other country in the world that celebrates differences the way Canada does.
Member of Parliament for Calgary Nose Hill, Michelle Rempel tweeted today in agreement with the President Adam North Peigan, from the Sixties Scoop Indigenous Society of Alberta, who said that Calgary should scale back or outright cancel Canada Day celebrations due to the discovery of unmarked graves of children at residential schools.
