Bill 202, Standing Up Against Anti-Semitism in Ontario Act, 2016 posted:

Bill 202 2016

An Act respecting participation in boycotts and other anti-Semitic actions

Preamble

The State of Israel is the strongest ally and friend of Canada in the Middle East because of a shared commitment to democracy, freedom and human rights. The international boycott, divestment and sanctions ("BDS") movement is one of the main vehicles for spreading anti-Semitism and the delegitimization of Israel globally and is increasingly promoted on university campuses in Ontario.

The BDS movement violates the principle of academic freedom and promotes a climate of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel speech leading to intimidation and violence on campuses.

The BDS movement's agenda is inherently antithetical to and deeply damaging to peace in the Middle East.

Ontarians have a history of promoting the right to work and study in safe and inclusive environments while standing against hateful divisions, intolerance, exclusions and hostility based on ethnicity, national origin and religion.

The Ontario Legislative Assembly denounces the anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli BDS movement for promoting a climate of hatred, intimidation, intolerance and violence against the Jewish people.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Definitions

1. In this Act,

"BDS movement" means the political movement whose primary purpose is to boycott, divest from and apply sanctions against,

(a) Israel and Israeli academics, students, corporations, businesses and cultural institutions,

(b) corporations, businesses and cultural institutions owned by Jewish Canadians, and

(c) corporations, businesses and cultural institutions affiliated with Jewish Canadians or with Israel; ("mouvement BDS")

"public pension fund" means a pension fund maintained to provide benefits under or related to a pension plan provided by a public body; ("caisse de retraite publique")

"public body" means,

(a) any ministry, agency, board, commission, official or other body of the Government of Ontario,

(b) any municipality in Ontario, or

(c) a local board, as defined in the Municipal Affairs Act, and any authority, board, commission, corporation, office or organization of persons some or all of whose members, directors or officers are appointed or chosen by or under the authority of the council of a municipality in Ontario. ("organisme public")

Contracts

2. (1) A public body shall not enter into a contract with a person or entity that supports or participates in the BDS movement.

Same

(2) If a public body discovers that a person or entity with which it has entered into a contract supports or participates in the BDS movement, the contract shall immediately terminate.

Exception

(3) A contract is exempt from the requirement set out in subsection (1) if the public body makes a determination that the goods or services offered in the contract are necessary to perform the public body's functions and that the public body would otherwise be unable to obtain such goods or services.

Pension funds, college and university foundations

3. (1) Every board of a public pension fund and of every college or university foundation shall ensure that the pension fund or foundation does not invest in any entity that supports or participates in the BDS movement.

Termination of investment

(2) If a board of a public pension fund or of a college or university foundation determines that the fund or foundation has invested in an entity that supports or participates in the BDS movement, the board shall terminate the investment, in an orderly and fiduciarily responsible manner, within 12 months of the determination, unless the entity provides proof that it no longer supports or participates in the BDS movement before the expiry of that time.

Colleges and universities

4. (1) No college or university shall support or participate in the BDS movement.

Same

(2) If a college or university contravenes subsection (1), the consequences set out in the regulations shall apply to the college or university.

Regulations

5. The Lieutenant Governor in Council may make regulations,

(a) governing the consequences that shall apply to a college or university that contravenes subsection 4 (1); and

(b) governing any other matter that may arise in the implementation of this Act.

Commencement

6. This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent.

Short title

7. The short title of this Act is the Standing Up Against Anti-Semitism in Ontario Act, 2016.



EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Standing Up Against Anti-Semitism in Ontario Act, 2016 is enacted. The Act enacts various prohibitions relating to the support of or participation in the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement ("BDS movement") by government contractors, public pension funds, college and university foundations and colleges and universities. The BDS movement is defined as the political movement whose primary purpose is to boycott, divest from and apply sanctions against Israel and various persons, corporations, businesses and cultural institutions that are Israeli, owned by Jewish Canadians or affiliated with Jewish Canadians or with Israel.

The Act provides that no public body may contract with any person or entity that supports or participates in the BDS movement. If a contractor does support or participate in the BDS movement, the contract will be terminated.

Public pension funds and foundations of colleges and universities are prohibited from investing in any entity that supports or participates in the BDS movement. If such an entity does support or participate in the BDS movement, the pension fund or foundation will terminate its investment in the entity.

The Act also prohibits colleges and universities from supporting or participating in the BDS movement.

They'll almost certainly try again soon though.

Elite consensus is "The BDS movement is nefarious, but it's better to push back politically — not legally": Anti-BDS legislation in the U.S. is unhelpful. BDS should be fought subtly, without giving it too much oxygen

Thin Blue Line is also banned among federal agencies because (lol I know Yanks will hoot and holler) in heraldic terms it's a defacing of the flag. RCMP was the first to ban it, and that was the ruling.

The flag represents the people of Canada, and the colours of the national flag are sacrosanct. Defacing it expresses disloyalty towards the public which uniformed members serve. The thin blue line also represents loyalty to a subset of Canadians and not sacrifice for the public as a whole, which uniformed service demands.

The cops beating the poo poo out of protestors at a logging site in BC took off their name tags and replaced them with thin blue line tags, so they could better feel like the lawless faceless stormtroopers they so desperately want to be


quote:

The judge chastised those Mounties who removed their nametags and adorned their uniforms with the controversial “thin blue line” patch, a symbol that is banned under official RCMP policy.

“All of this has been done in the name of enforcing this court’s order, adding to the already substantial risk to the court’s reputation whenever an injunction pulls the court into this type of dispute between citizens and the government,” the judge wrote

quote:


Israel Behind Iranian Gas Line Sabotage, per NYT
February 16th 17:04
The New York Times, citing two western officials and a source affiliated with the IRGC, has reported that Israeli operatives were behind the sabotage of Iranian gas lines in the southwest of the country earlier this week.

Iranian Oil Minister Javad Owji said on Friday that the gas line explosions, which took place in the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, were part of “the enemy’s plan… to disrupt the flow of gas in winter to several main cities and provinces in our country.”

https://x.com/PressTV/status/1757653760187248922?s=20

While also calling the sabotage a “terrorist attack,” he did not publicly place blame on Israel. Similarly, Israeli officials have not acknowledged the incident as they often do not comment on Israeli operations involving Iran.

The attack can be seen as a show of force to Iran, signaling Israel’s ability to conduct covert operations in the country, as tensions continue to mount amidst the backdrop of the ongoing conflict against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
16 February 2024 – Forum Update 01

On 15 February 2024, we announced a temporary pause on all posts destined for the Israel-Palestine conflict thread in light of the recent surge in moderation activity and ongoing developments within the thread.

The online atmosphere is continually changing and remains highly charged, with all available data confirming that the risk of posts being moderated or removed is at an elevated level. As a result, we have decided that all posts originally intended for the Israel-Palestine conflict thread will be redirected to alternative, less contentious discussions or threads for the foreseeable future.

We fully understand the impact this may have on your forum participation experience, but please be assured that this decision was made with careful consideration, prioritizing the well-being of our forum community, the integrity of discussions, and the quality of content shared.

By redirecting posts away from the Israel-Palestine conflict thread, we aim to provide our forum members with a more consistent and predictable environment, despite the potential for reduced visibility and engagement that comes with such rerouting.

AP posted:

in International Posting News 15/02/2024
Participants in the heated discussions of the Israel-Palestine conflict thread have the option of temporarily deactivating their 'Digital Identification Systems' (DIS), akin to the maritime practice of turning off Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) transponders. This digital maneuver, often referred to as 'going dark,' conceals the user's presence and activity within the forum, serving as a crucial strategy in maintaining anonymity and avoiding potential conflicts or targeted moderation in online discussions.

Just as a ship's transponder is vital for navigation and avoiding collisions, especially in challenging conditions like fog or during nighttime, a forum user's digital identifier plays a significant role in the virtual environment. It aids in the smooth interaction between community members and the effective moderation of discussions. However, given that all DIS data is publicly accessible and can be scrutinized by moderators or other users, some individuals opt to 'go dark' to navigate through sensitive topics without attracting attention.

While generally discouraged to ensure transparency and accountability within the community, deactivating one's DIS is permissible under specific forum guidelines if a user believes that visible activity might compromise the safety or integrity of their contributions. Experts in online community management affirm that 'going dark' does not impede a user's ability to engage in forum discussions, as the risk of 'collisions' or conflicts can be managed through other means of communication and adherence to community guidelines.
