It’s a group that appears to enjoy fomenting anti-Muslim hysteria. The organization even sucked in that indefatigable anti-Muslim campaigner and promoter of campus snitch lines, Daniel Pipes. Pipes was forced to retract comments he made about Liberal MP Omar Alghabra, which had been based upon misinformation received from CCD. (Pipes refers in his screed to Ezra Levant’s further smears of Alghabra, which I dealt with some time ago, and makes additional defamatory remarks that need not concern us here.)

CCD’s legal counsel has been none other than David Harris, whose inflammatory anti-Muslim commentary is notorious in its own right, and who has recently been fussing out loud about “out-of-control immigration.”Harris was in the news last year making some credulous public comments about a hilariously silly “bugged money” story emanating from the US Defence Security Service.

Dr. Dawg’s analysis prompted Buckets at Bouquets of Gray to point out that Kent’s Coalition was one of the supporting organizations in a bid to get Chief Justice Beverley Maclaughlin removed from the committee which gave Henry Morgentaler his Order of Canada – and to ask “whether Peter Kent… had anything to do with this ridiculous charade.”
