二月十八日,渥太华地方报纸Ottawa Citizen 刊登了一篇不起眼的消息:Anti-immigration groups at Parliament Hill protest demand apology from Trudeau: "Hundreds of Asian-Canadian protesters, supported by several white, far-right,anti-immigration groups stormed Parliament Hill on Sunday afternoon to demand an apology from the Prime Minister. ......members of the Asian-Canadian community feel victimized by a Toronto girl's false claim in January that an Asian man cut off her hijab and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's apparent rush to view the fictitious incident as a hate crime. The group, an Unlikely Ally for the far right, was met was counter protesters from anti-fascist and anti-racist groups, many of whom covered their faces as they protested...... Asian-Canadian community, "an unlikey ally for the far right" - 亚裔加拿大人,在这个事件里,无非就是华人,“反移民的极右组织不太可能的联盟”?是《渥太华公民报》记者太幼稚了,还是事实真相被扭曲了?抗议“假头巾事件”的华人又是如何与反移民右翼互相站台呢?这事还得从头说起。 话说二月十八日,农历大年初三,居住在被加国华人戏称为“渥村”的首都渥太华的两万多华人从睡梦中醒来,又开始了浑浑噩噩的一天。唯一不同的是,当他们习惯性得打开当地中文网,看看costco ,大统华有什么周日打折品的时候,立刻被几条重要新闻吸引住了:从多伦多,蒙特利尔等地,正有多辆大巴满载华人向首都的议会山驶来,下午1时30分,一场轰轰烈烈的反Hijab Hoax,要求土豆道歉的华人大游行就要拉开序幕!就连远在阿省的油都卡尔加里,都来了两个华人!卡城华人甚至在网络上联诗一首,为二人壮行! 壮士何慷慨 志欲威八荒 驱车远行役 受命念自忘 临难不顾生 身死魂飞扬 岂为全躯士 效命争战场 忠为百世荣 义使令名彰 垂声谢后世 气节故有常 ...... 好一副“有去无回”的架势!正如华人网站所言:“游行的冲锋号已经吹响,二月十八全国各城市人民将会师国会山!”幸亏土豆正拖儿带女,在印度逍遥呢,不然还不立刻被华人的气势吓傻! 游行组织者接着有发了一条更加振奋人心的消息:“2.18 下午国会山游行,预计有300 老兵参加,以表示对我们的支持”: @all 今天收到一位老兵感人肺腑的邮件。预计本次活动来自大多地区的老兵60人,来自魁北克/渥太华地区的老兵200 人。本次国会山的游行,同时获得了国会山警察局以及皇家骑警的鼎力支持,为我们特别将增加超过200 名警察,以表示对我们的大力支持,保证游行群友安全,确保我们完成演讲以及游行!国会山2.18 游行将是加拿大一场空前的盛宴!相信一定会被写入华人维权的历史!" 下午两点多,盛宴开始。三四辆大巴和一些小私家车纷纷开入国会山一侧的停车厂,上面扶老携幼下来一群举牌子的人,"一眼望不到边”的队伍大概二三百人的样子,徐徐进入国会山前广场上划定的游行地点。 白面孔的男女老幼都有,反正老兵的不是。把旗帜亮开,不禁令人大开眼界,原来是 Le Meute 和Storm Alliance 来也!
上图为所谓“魁省老兵”,《渥太华公民报》所指的Anti-immigration Group.
简单的说,这两个组织就是我们常说的反移民,反少数族裔,强调魁省族裔特殊性和保护他们族群完整性的种族歧视组织。这两个组织在蒙城以西基本上没什么势力(英裔,土著和少数族裔都很反感- 毕竟他们想把这些人都赶出去不是么)。La Meute在魁北克城势力非常强大,包括上次魁北克城清真寺屠杀案的嫌犯也是有一定受影响。举个最简单的例子,很多这两个组织的口号都是非常排外和带有种族优越性在里面的(比如Quebec pour les Quebecois - 魁北克是魁北克人(影射法裔白人)的)等等等等。 所以,《渥太华公民报》的记者顺理成章得认为,华人是 Le Meute 和Storm Alliance 的unlikely ally. 不过,记者毕竟年轻见识少,她不知道,世界上除了“逻辑”之外,还有另外一种东西,叫做“中式逻辑”。中式逻辑不用顺理成章。此是后话。 顺便说句,La Meute 确实是两位退役老兵发起的,但是除此之外,这个组织和老兵一点关系都没有。把魁省来的这两百人说成所谓老兵,真应了中国人那句俗语,“挂羊头,卖狗肉”。当然了,现在更流行的是挂洋羊头,卖洋狗肉,再粘上点“兵”气就更能忽悠了! 华人有几十个,强行代表了加拿大的一百八十万。同样被Hijib Hoax 害得痛不欲生的其他亚裔民族,比如Hijib Hoax 事件发生的士嘉堡地区常见的印度人,巴基斯坦人,越南人,菲律宾人,泰国人...统统没来,无条件被这几十个华人代表。
“老兵”虽然没见到,警察倒真是不少,确实有超过200名,紧张兮兮,严阵以待!原来,在广场的另一侧,Le Meute 和Storm Alliance 的天敌,Anti-Far 的几十个人,已经迫不及待得聚拢了- 这是北美社会的常识,只要新纳粹已出现,Anti-Far 肯定在对面抗议,甚至大打出手,酿成血案,去年的夏洛特维尔就是一例。
上面是现场图,左上方是华人抗议者,Le Meute和Storm Alliance. 正下方是 Anti-Far.
好在渥村虽然很土,但是一向以友善和平著称,示威者照例喊喊口号,演演讲,示威也就结束了。
事情的经过就是这样。示威华人是如何与这两个臭名昭著的极右组织扯到一起去的?组织者在示威现场以行程滞后为名,拒绝接受采访。游行的参与者,围观者大概有如下几种意见: 1.请别代表我派:你想反穆斯林,反移民,我不管,但是请别打全体加拿大华人的旗号,你凭什么代表我! 2.众人皆醉我独醒派:你们被人利用了。和反移民极右勾勾搭搭,给华人丢死人了。 3.儿子打老子派:胡说,是极右被华人利用了!华人这回总算上报纸了!最重要的是曝光率,比前几次游行弄出的响动大多了! 4.我是XX我怕谁派:我就是反穆斯林,就是极右,你敢把老子怎么样! 5.不可理喻派:昨天我白人同事听说游行事件以后,对我说:Now Chinese Canadian are white too. 虽然他的笑容和眼神让我觉得有点不太对,可我听了心里这个美! 6.无可奈何派:这批华人最后和反移民极右搅在一起,没什么奇怪的,算是名至实归了。 7.装纯撒娇派:极右和你们想象的不一样,我和他们聊了聊,虽然我英语不好,他们还是对我非常奈斯!他们是和我们一样的人。没有一个青面獠牙的。真的。全加拿大都冤枉他们了。倒是那些 Anti-Far的,都戴着面具,不像好人,让人好怕怕! 8.务实派:你们组委会为什么不事先告诉大家他们要来?记得夏洛特维尔吧?华人个个身体单薄,夹在中间,不是白挨打? 9.闹就是王道派:华人在开罗机场,东京机场都闹了,为社么不能在渥太华闹?华人向来胆小怕事,所以在社会上没地位。我们的诉求并不重要,重要的是闹! 当然了,也有建议打着五星红旗去的,这里就不说他们了。 迄今,除了报纸上的豆腐干消息,此事已经被加拿大社会迅速淡忘。没有任何政党领导人出面道歉。不过,对于此次活动的“组委会”来说,斗争才刚刚开始。现在除了土豆,华人的公敌显然又多了一个加拿大广播公司CBC和《渥太华公民报》Ottawa Citizen。主流媒体么。虽然咱们,至少咱们的孩子必须进入主流,但主流媒体是另外一回事。以下是组委会公告: Press Release Regarding 2.18 Hijab Hoax Rally at Parliament Hill
A large group of Chinese Canadians held a rally at Parliament Hill on Sunday February 18, 2018. More than 1000 people from the Chinese Community and other groups attended the events. However, the CBC News labeled all attendants as far-right, and a reporter Shaamini Yogaretna, from the Ottawa Citizen twisted the rally as anti-immigration in her article http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local...ment-hill-protest-demand-apology-from-trudeau and her personal twitter https://twitter.com/shaaminiwhy Given this offensive slander, we feel it is important to restate our position, which is stated in our open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: 1. Reinvestigate Hijab Hoax, release more details and report the truth to Canadian 2. Prime Minister must apologize for his irresponsible comments 3. All ethnic groups are entitled for equal respect We truly do not understand why the CBC and the Ottawa Citizen twisted our event in such a disingenuous way. We also would like to thank the organization La Meute for coming all the way to support our movement. Most of its members are Canadian Veterans, who have been treated unfairly by the Trudeau Government. Last summer, they held a protest against the Liberal Government for allowing refugees to cross the Canadian border illegally into Quebec. According to the latest news, the Liberal Government has approved a huge financial bailout for many media companies (including the CBC and the Ottawa Citizen). We would like them to reveal the actual amounts they are receiving. Maybe this could explain why both covered our rally in a such ridiculous way. Feel free to carry your own sign. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us http://voteforright.com/ 也许好戏还在后头。
