A Mossad-Linked Israeli Org Is Trying To ‘Shut Down’ The Maple
The organization has sent demand letters to Ontario law enforcement and global payment processors.
An Israeli org praised by the country’s politicians is trying to get @readthemaple.com shut down. Shurat HaDin has claimed to have issued legal notices to payment processors and written to multiple legal and police bodies “calling for a criminal investigation.” An abhorrent attack on the press.

ShuratHaDin
"Shurat HaDin has issued urgent legal notices to Stripe, Apple Pay, and all major credit card networks demanding they cut off services to a website that is listing and monetizing Jewish institutions across Toronto. This isn't free speech - it's a threat to Jewish safety."
A Tel Aviv-based group that describes its mission as going on the "legal offensive against Israel’s enemies" says it is trying to "shut down" Canadian news organization @readthemaple.com
Shurat HaDin is lobbying Canadian police to arrest a Canadian journalist

I discovered Israeli government procurement documents showing a Canadian group that's sending right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel was granted funds from Israel's foreign ministry
The funding came through an arm of the ministry focused on managing “public perception of Israel”

As Military Spending Soars, Defence Department Fails On Transparency
A report shows the Defence Department’s already poor transparency record is getting worse.

The Department of National Defence's Access to Information Directorate just asked me, in response to a request I filed in November, “What constitutes a ‘report’?”
After I said that they know what a report is, they replied with a sarcastic “Have a great day!!”
