from Breaking the Narrative · host StandWithUs Canada
This week on Breaking the Narrative, we’re joined by Collin May, former Chief of the Alberta Human Rights Commission. Collin was appointed to lead the AHRC in 2022 after years of involvement with the organization, but just before his term began, controversy erupted over a book review he wrote 13 years prior. That review of Efraim Karsh’s "Islamic Imperialism: A History" resurfaced in a media article, triggering intense public backlash. Collin shares his side of the story, the events that followed, and his perspective on free expression, cancel culture, and the state of human rights in Canada.Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/standwithuscanada/?X/Twitter: https://x.com/StandWithUsCA
