Southern Ontario Group: Fatima Centre

Fatima Centre: Defence Minister Rob Nicholson's name appears several times in a brochure, letter and news release for the "Path to Peace" forum being put on in his riding by a southern Ontario group called the Fatima Centre. , according to Huffington Post. On Monday, CBC News reported that Senator Rom o Dallaire had been booked to speak at the event without realizing who was behind it, and pulled out when his staff were alerted to the background of the Fatima Centre and some of the other conference speakers. Another federal politician is moving to distance himself from a conference taking place next month organized by a fringe religious group accused of anti-Semitism. His communications director, however, said Wednesday that Nicholson never intended to participate, never agreed to lend his name to the event and will seek to have it removed.
