This is completely out of line.
Minister Miller says, "It isn't up to me to speak to, or insert myself in, the curation of any particular exhibit.” And then he does exactly that.
His comments are a direct attack on the independence of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights – exactly what the Museums Act is meant to prevent.
The story of the Nakba needs to be told. It’s a hard history to confront: Israel’s independence was achieved with massacres, ethnic cleansing, and the forcible displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians.
And it’s a story that’s not over: all of those assaults on human dignity and fundamental human rights continue to this day.
This is the very purpose of museums like the CMHR: to shine a light into the corners of history and connect historical events to the present. Public education informed by the principles of justice and human rights.
The “error that needs to be rectified” is not the exhibit, it’s the Heritage Minister’s unacceptable political interference. He should retract his comments, apologize, and leave curating to the curators.

Canada’s Liberals jumped onboard the Trump-Netanyahu war on a fabricated pretext.
It’s increasingly clear the inspiring speech in Davos was never meant to be put into practice.
New Democrats will continue to stand up for a a just and principled Canada on the world stage.
Many people struggle to stay active simply because they haven’t found an activity they truly enjoy.
The important thing to remember is that you don’t have to follow what others like; physical activity comes in many forms!💪
It's insane that Starmer's government is joining illegal attacks on Iran, after the US and Israel have spent the last week committing war crime after war crime, including bombing hospitals and massacring children in schools. Absolutely sick and depraved man.
This is not Iran.
This is not Lebanon.
This is Gaza tonight.
Israel is currently raining bombs on 3 different countries, targeting civilians and vital infrastructure.
This is not the behavior of a “victim.”
This is terrorism.

The energy at today's OSAP Student Walk-Out here in London was powerful. It is a reminder that Ontario students have voices that deserve to be heard. We're not going to let these changes happen without a fight!

Tessa, Jarrad, Ben, and Jeff are four of the thousands of New Democrats doing that work in ridings across the country.
They know what it takes to rebuild our party from the ground up. Honoured to have their support.
Today, Liberals, Conservatives, & the Bloc voted to kill #C233. 🚫⚖️
They chose to keep a massive loophole open that exempts 50% of Canada’s arms exports from human rights oversight. The Carney Liberals talk about values, but their actions say otherwise. #cdnpoli#HumanRights

Aid remains restricted while people face continuous hardship and dire humanitarian conditions.
