Five officers with Canada’s CSIS spy service launch $35 MILLION lawsuit accusing it of “ISLAMOPHOBIA”

What happened to their patriotism? Where is their sense of duty. Why are they hiding in their little corner sobbing now, instead of understanding that sometimes people will rib them and kid them, and that their duty to their country is more important than all that? This is a cynical attempt to cash in on the Trudeau government’s solicitude for claims of islamofauxbia.

“Five CSIS employees are accusing the spy agency of Islamophobia, racism and homophobia in a $35-million lawsuit,” by Michelle Shephard, Toronto Star, July 13, 2017 (thanks to Mark):

Five intelligence officers and analysts with Canada’s spy service have launched a $35-million lawsuit against their employer, claiming the Canadian Security Intelligence Service is a toxic workplace with managers who openly espouse Islamophobic, racist and homophobic views and discriminate against Muslim, Black and gay employees.

The allegations contained in a 54-page statement of claim — filed in Federal Court and obtained by the Toronto Star — provide detailed accusations from inside one of the country’s most secretive organizations.

One of the complainants, a Toronto intelligence officer with more than a decade of service and identified in the claim by the pseudonym “Alex,” is gay and has a Muslim partner.

According to the statement of claim, an October 2015 email sent to him by his manager “Simon” stated: “Careful your Muslim in-laws don’t behead you in your sleep for being homo.” Another boss, given the pseudonym “Joe,” allegedly wrote: “You’re just a fag hiding in your little corner sobbing.”

None of the allegations contained in the claim, which was filed Thursday morning, has been proven in court….
