Liberals smear free speech professor with racist conspiracy lie at Heritage Committee
Liberal MP Anju Dhillon was unable to back up her accusation and quickly changed the subject when asked to elaborate.
Law professor Bruce Pardy of Queen's University was testifying about the dangers of the growth of the administrative state to free speech when Liberal MP Anju Dhillon accused him of pushing the "Great Replacement Theory" when he previously testified last week at the Commons Science Committee.
LIAR: Liberal MP @adhillonDLL completely lies about @PardyBruce accusing him of being a racist conspiracy theorist.

Video, audio and text transcripts of the Science Committee sitting from November 28, 2024, where Pardy and other academics testified to the dangers of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity (DEI) policies in Canadian universities in relation to academic freedom and best practices, did not show him mentioning the "Great Replacement Theory."

Pardy specifically testified to the need to remove government funding from research funding.
"Please stop taking money from truck drivers and cashiers and giving it to elite institutions. Please stop corrupting the intellectual enterprise. Please stop requiring and funding discrimination against white people, Asian people, and men. Please stop dictating how research is done and by whom," he said.
Conservatives give @PardyBruce a chance to defend himself against @adhillonDLL's sick lies.

When pressed by Pardy for proof of her claim, Dhillon, quickly moved on without backing up her claim with the help of Liberal committee chair, Hedy Fry. The Heritage Committee is currently undertaking a study of free expression in Canada.

Instead, they figure they must protect us in case we hear and believe something they hate. What censorious thugs!
