A federal government advisor attended a workshop in May put on by the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC), which was recently defunded after one of its senior consultants, Laith Marouf, was found to have made Twitter posts with derogatory comments such as “Jewish White Supremacists.”

Karim Karim, a professor at Carleton University’s journalism and communications school and a former policy analyst for the Canadian Heritage Department, attended the CMAC workshop in Vancouver on May 14 to speak about “racist discourses” and “white supremacy” in Canadian media, according to a video obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
