I have to wonder if Mrs. Asper is allowing her own Jewish family roots and political bias to show through…
Seems pretty blatant that first the Liberal Minister of Culture and Heritage, and now the longtime Liberal supporting family is getting play in the media (which they used to own in part) demanding “context" to an exhibit about the Nakba.
Izzy Asper was the leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party along with being the patriarch of one of the most powerful media conglomerates in Canada, until it was swallowed up by other billionnaire family media company people.
The *only* impartial voice here with a proven track record for understanding and communicating history fairly is the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Period.
Hey Billionnaires: your money does NOT mean you get to call the shots when it comes to national museums.
If you want to do that, get back into the local newspapers you abandoned.
