Rebel, rebel, you’ve got CRA in a whirl

Rebel media boat hits an iceberg
Norwegian Cruise Line bows to pressure and cancels ‘neo-Nazi’ conference booking
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has bowed to pressure and cancelled a booking for a “neo-nazi” conference which was set to take place on one of its ships.
Rebel Media, a far-right group based in Canada, had planned to hold a week-long meeting on-board a NCL Caribbean Cruise. The trip was scheduled to leave in November from Miami and would take in Honduras, Belize, and Mexico.
The “Rebel Cruise” was advertised by the organisation as a “great way to meet like-minded Rebels”. Members attending and speaking included Gavin McInnes, who has advocated violence against his political opponents and Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) – the former leader of the English Defence League (EDL).
The event was publicised by campaign group Hope not Hate, who contacted NCL to express their concerns about Rebel Media using its ship last week. The group set up a petition and appealed directly to NCL’s president and CEO Frank J. Del Rio “to remove the platform for someone like Gavin McInnes, who legitimises and normalises the same ideas as those aired in Charlottesville, and who wants to use their services to spread his hateful agenda.”
Sums it up nicely
I just did (yet another) interview with a reporter asking about whether tolerating neo-Nazis like Bannon is the price we pay for free speech, etc.
I said chants of “death to the Jew” aren’t speech. They’re expressions of hate, and anyone with a brain their head should be able to discern the difference.
Life is about choices
And some choices, they define you.
You have to choose sides. Either you are against the racists, or you extol virtues of being besties with Bannon. That's the choice. #cdnpoli

This was no Love Boat. More like the Raft for the Daft.

Well done to all who sank the Cuckoo Canoe!
Speculate wildly, fellow hacks
X: Recipe for Hate news
You may be shocked to hear this, but the subject-matter of X: Recipe for Hate – Left-Right clashes in the streets, surging hate groups, and bigots in positions of great power – is in the news, these days. So I’m told.
As such, my publisher, Dundurn, has now got a huge push on for the book in the U.S. They think that the subject-matter is timely, and I think they just might be right.
You can pre-order it here and here. And thanks, in advance, if you do!
Today
A white supremacist is the President of the United States of America.
