NextImg:Karen Stintz: Fred Hahn doesn't deserve to be a union leader

In the theatre of social media, most individuals who express views that are racist, sexist, discriminatory or out of sync with social norms are shamed into retracting their views — at least publicly. The exception to this rule seems to be Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario president Fred Hahn.

During the Olympics, Hahn, also a vice-president of CUPE’s national branch, shared a video on Facebook of an Israeli athlete diving into a pool; the video had been edited to depict the diver as a bomb descending on Palestinians. Hahn apologized on Sunday, but it was insincere and empty because he has a history of posting antisemitic messages and then offering vacuous apologies.
