A former Liberal candidate who was dumped before last fall's federal election is suing cabinet minister Peter Kent, the Canadian Jewish Congress, B'nai Brith of Canada and four senior members of the two organizations. [...] Hughes acknowledges in her lawsuit that she wrote a column in a Winnipeg newspaper in 2002 that suggested Israeli businesses in the World Trade Center had advance knowledge of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. [...] Hughes claims she "is no longer employable in her role as a freelance journalist/broadcaster." [*SNIP*]

She also claims that Kent, then a Conservative candidate and now minister of state for foreign affairs, issued a news release Sept. 26, 2008, saying Hughes held "extreme, anti-Israel ... conspiracy theories" and was "unfit to serve for public office."

Isn't that just a statement of fact?

Is there really a threshold in Canada below which a BIG-quote-"journalist" can no longer find work? Another thing to like about that country.

It gets even better than that. From your story (emphasis added).

Here's a highlight from the news story on the day she was dumped as a candidate.

Hughes wrote in a March 2003 edition of a newsletter published by a committee of the Winnipeg Presbytery of the United Church of Canada that U.S., German, Russian and Israeli intelligence officials knew about the attacks in advance.

This isn't going to end well for her.

yes, when they drop below the line of "sane and reputable". Clearly in this case, the journalist dropped well below.

TAM:)
 
A terrific Canadian blog called the Black Rod initially broke the story last year about Hughes' trooferism.

Hughes' original article from 2002 can be seen here.

German Intelligence (BND) claims to have warned the U.S. last June, the Israeli Mossad and Russian Intelligence in August. Israeli businesses, which had offices in the Towers, vacated the premises a week before the attacks, breaking their lease to do it. About 3000 Americans working there were not so lucky.

She's talking about Zim American-Israeli Shipping, but as Mike W. points out, Zim's move had been in the works for two years, and had been announced five months prior to 9-11. And there were still 10 Zim employees wrapping up operations in New York (their major computer systems had still not been moved). Although the employees survived (their offices were on the 16th floor), the computer systems were lost in the destruction of the towers. And another Israeli firm, ClearForest, had offices in the WTC. Their employees also survived, but it seems mighty careless of them to ignore this warning from the Mossad. ;)

ETA: When she was dropped from the Liberal Party, the Winnipeg Sun ran this ironic (but wonderful) headline:

Dion Dumps 9/11 Nut

The irony? One year earlier the Winnipeg Sun's editor had indulged himself in a little 9-11 Trooferism and had to be put out to pasture.

She never really was a "big-time journalist". Although I was born in St Boniface (now a part of Winnipeg), the city is not really what you'd call the cosmopolitan hub of Canada. Now don't go telling the NAFTA superhighway nuts about that. They figure there's a big freeway scheduled to bring the Chinese and their job-stealing lucre through to I-35 somewhere around Duluth and thence into St Louis, thereby destroying the US from the chewy caramelly centre outwards.

Something like that anyhow.
 
I always knew there was an unholy trinity of twoofers, Creationists and Holocaust deniers.

I would not be surprised if someone was all three combined.
 
To drop her was the only good decision Stéphane Dion ever made, well... that and his decision to drop himself later on.


Here's her article, if you can stand the turquoise background:

ETA: I see Brainster was already all over it. :D

She gets pretty much everything wrong, as expected, including that ever elusive Afghan oil gas pipeline. Not quite a good journalist, it seems.

It's not quite that simple...someone also has to post it on "You Tube", then promote it by going to an internet forum and proclaiming, "This will REALLY blow the lid off the conspiracy!!!"
