#1072 Why Almost Everyone Hates Caryma Sa’d
“The people who want to play morality police and decide who does or doesn't get to speak, they're not qualified arbiters of anything.” - Caryma Sa’d

People on the left call her a police informant, a self-hating Palestinian, a racist, a Zionist, a TERF, and a fascist. But she also has haters on the right, labelling her a leftist, Antifa, and a World Economic Forum diva.

She’s a lawyer by trade. But describes herself online as a journalist, a satirist, a media personality and a protest watcher. That last title is the one that brings the most trouble.

Anti-vax protests, freedom convoy protests, anti-trans protests, Israel/Palestine protests, over the last few years she’s captured and posted an archive of protest footage few mainstream outlets have either the time or resources to rival. Along the way she’s managed to irk the entire political spectrum.

She’s been criticized by the Canadian Association of Journalists, the Canadian Anti Hate Network, and the Law Society of Ontario for allegedly harassing behaviour.

But how? Why? Caryma Sa’d joins Jesse Brown to answer those questions.
