Far-Left Canadian Provincial Lawmaker ‘in Solidarity’ with ‘Burn It All Down’ Activist as Church Burnings Continue
A far-left member of the Ontario Parliament has expressed “solidarity” with an activist who wrote “burn it all down” after a surge of church fires across Canada.
New Democratic Party (NDP) member of the Ontario provincial parliament Dr Rima Berns-McGown took to Twitter to express “solidarity” with British Columbia Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) executive director Harsha Walia, whose comments on church burnings came under fire in recent days.
“Standing in solidarity with Harsha Walia, @HarshaWalia. She is smart, principled, thoughtful, fierce in the best way,” Berns-McGown, who
describes herself as a “Biracial Jewish Muslim”,
wrote on Tuesday.
The comments come days after Bahrain-born South Asian Harsha Walia
commented on a
Vice report on two Roman Catholic churches being burned down with the comment: “Burn it all down.”
