Toronto Star interview with Paul

The video here does not need any real explanation. It is business as usual with the mainstream media. This time the Toronto Star sent a young reporter, Carys Mills, to speak with me.

During the discussion, she indicated that the University of Toronto had elected to employ special measures to protect students, perhaps in response to their vandals and thugs being profiled on this site. As promised, she did provide me a link to that information.

Here is my response to her via email:

Thank you for sending this. It is unfortunately hard to respond in a comprehensive way. There is no direct mention from U of T admin about the abuse of students trying to enter the Farrell lecture. Nor is there any proof provided of the threats they mentioned, which they seem to indirectly attribute to AVFM. I suppose if you think that video evidence and public confession online of the acts that we addressed do not constitute sufficient proof, then perhaps you may also have questions for U of T admin regarding proof that any threats were made.

Personally, I am not buying it. I am 100% certain that no individual associated with AVFM would condone or tolerate any type of threat made against anyone. If I found out that anyone was, their connection with AVFM would be quickly severed.  I am also 100% certain that the individuals who orchestrated the harassment, bullying, door blockading and vandalism that happened on November 16, have already spread a great deal of disinformation about AVFM, CAFE, Warren Farrell, Janice Fiamengo and others.
I can sympathize that in the face of complaints that students are being harassed, real, imagined or concocted, U of T admin would likely feel obligated to issue a statement condemning such actions. I condemn them too, but I am not convinced they ever happened.
