"Few mainstream newspapers will touch 9-11 conspiracies," wrote Kevin Potvin in the Jan. 4 edition of The Republic of East Vancouver. The reason: Such conspiracies are often met with "accusations of anti-patriotism, treason and anti-Semitism."
So you'd think Potvin, who publishes The Republic and is now the federal Green candidate in Vancouver-Kingsway, wouldn't be talking about 9-11 during his election campaign. But you'd be wrong.
On his campaign website, Potvin encourages would-be supporters to meet him and talk "about 9-11 truth and implications for Canadian foreign policy," at Beans Cafe, 3365 Cambie Street, Friday April 13 at 1 p.m.
In an interview with 24 hours' Public Eye, Potvin explained, "Prime Minister Kim Campbell once famously said that a campaign is not a time to raise issues. I couldn't disagree more. A campaign is a search for issues that matter to Canadians. There's not much of an opportunity between elections to get issues talked about in public forums the way a campaign does - with all the attention and media.
"So this is the time to bring issues forward. And I think there's enough suspicion about the origins of 9-11 to make it an issue since it has so much to do with Canadian foreign policy, which will be such a major file during the election."
