Petition launched after speaker’s news column

An online petition aims to “uninvite” the keynote speaker scheduled to address delegates at the Yukon Chamber of Mines’ annual geoscience forum

By Stephanie Waddell on November 13, 2018

An online petition aims to “uninvite” the keynote speaker scheduled to address delegates at the Yukon Chamber of Mines’ annual geoscience forum.

The event is scheduled to begin next Saturday and continue until the following Tuesday.

Journalist Rex Murphy, the former host of CBC radio’s long-running Cross Country Checkup, is lined up to give an address at the event next Saturday.

Whitehorse resident Rachel Grantham started the petition about a week ago on change.org. She is taking issue with a recent opinion piece Murphy wrote for the National Post.

The petition notes the piece was “hostile to the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford.

“It is absolutely devoid of empathy or respect for Blasey Ford, and by extension, for any woman who brings forward ‘unsubstantiated’ allegations of sexual assault. In fact, he believes that Ford herself should be taken to court for even bringing her allegation forward, and that the hearings were ‘brutal’: no, not for Blasey Ford, but for Kavanaugh.”

Testifying before the U.S. Senate judiciary committee last month, Blasey Ford said U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her during their college days. The Senate later approved Kavanaugh’s nomination to the high court.

Samson Hartland, the mines chamber’s executive director, responded to Grantham’s petition, stating: “Rex Murphy has been a prominent voice in Canadian media for over 20 years, speaking to a wide range of issues, while championing Canada’s economy and resource sector along the way.

“I understand that these opinions may not resonate with all Canadians; however, we at the Yukon Chamber of Mines are looking forward to hearing his perspective on what the new United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) means for Canada, its effect on our industry, and subsequently our economy.”

Contacted this morning, Hartland said the chamber is limiting its comments to the response issued.

The entire opinion piece by Murphy is available on the National Post’s website at: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-why-the- kavanaugh-case-still-troubles-me-even-if-no-one-else-cares

Grantham told the Star said she had initially only heard about the commentary from a friend who took issue with it.

Sitting in a coffee shop, she noticed a newspaper advertisement highlighting the geoscience forum and Murphy’s keynote address.

“I almost spit out my coffee,” she said of the shock in learning Murphy was being brought to the territory to speak at an event put on by the chamber of mines.

The event is also funded in part by the Yukon government, which is listed as a co-presenter, she pointed out.

Government officials have told her the territory provides funding and participates, but is not responsible for selecting speakers, Grantham said.

After her initial surprise, she went home and found the piece, reading it for herself.

“It’s offensive on multiple fronts,” Grantham said.

She argued the opinion piece does the very thing the #MeToo movement is fighting by discrediting those who can’t remember every detail when they come forward about a sexual assault.

The #MeToo movement has made it possible for anyone who’s experienced sexual assault to speak out, she said, noting that it’s a movement that has now been around for some time.

“This movement is not new,” she said, going on to argue the chamber needs to take responsibility for who it has invited to speak.

Grantham is hopeful that in the event her petition doesn’t keep Murphy out of the Yukon, it will inform Yukoners about the situation.

As of shortly after 9 a.m. today, a total of 53 people had attached their names to the petition.

Grantham noted she has also spoken to many who aren’t signing it due to their work but who have voiced their support for her actions.

“The support is definitely there,” she said.

The #MeToo Mining Association also reached out to Grantham. It noted in correspondence that officials had issued a statement to the CBC stating it disagrees with Murphy’s statements in the piece.

The association also argues in its correspondence with Grantham, that the piece by Murphy “.. certainly strayed from proven scientific research on his comments regarding ‘Believe the Victim’ and why sexual assault victims often do not talk about or report their experiences right away or sometimes never do.”

Officials with Yukon Women In Mining could not be reached for comment.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.

And NOT try and further embarrass themselves by writing to the local papers, as they have recently.

CJ,
While I disagree with your chastising comments of others here on this page I am pleased that in our democratic society you have an opportunity to speak your mind on these matters. Rex Murphy does not appeal to all of the audience; similar to Noam Chomsky who does not reach all minds in the same way. Many don't read Mr. Murphy's columns because they need a dictionary to understand some of the words he uses. It's a problem with most media writing to a Grade 8 level as the common denominator prescribed in the Canadian Style Guide. Rex is a bit of a language rogue and does show off his linguistic talents on occasion, I especially like when he reverts to his Newfinese mother-tongue and confuses all readers for a bit.
Anyway In the words of another Canadian in the media spotlight, Diversity is our strength. That also should include a diversity of opinions but somehow today's Liberals don't include that part of the phrase they love to repeat. A shame really, think of all the good ideas that will never get heard for fear of reprisal from the Grade 8 readers.

Oh dear, all the comments rife with frothing indignation!
I wonder though who has actually read Rex's op/Ed piece in the NP?
"Rex Murphy: Why the Kavanaugh case still troubles me, even if no one else cares"
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-why-the-kavanaugh-case-still-troubles-me-even-if-no-one-else-cares?video_autoplay=true
Everyone seems to like ol' Rex and his own brand of scholarly screeds.
However, like everything else he writes, it's heavy on verbosity and light on content. In the piece, he can't seem to make up his mind whether he's commenting on the political biases of the Supreme Court nomination process, the state of the Supreme Court itself, men being falsely accused, etc. It's a bit of a mishmash of ideas.
Buts here's the thing, he does manage to gloss over the important point, and that is in appointing someone to a lifetime position in an influential position like the US Supreme Court, it's is critical to vet the candidate thoroughly.
But back to The Yukon and Miss Granthams well intentioned but ill conceived notions of political correctness and righteous indignation.
This isn't a big deal. Period. Let Rex speak. I'm sure his target audience will get what they paid for.

Hmmm....another faith inspiring thread, fanfreakintastic....seriously!
Some brilliant participants here, exercising the critical thinking part of the brain so so much has gone to annexing it from discussions.

Would seem to me that despite the sugar and spice mantra, some are not all that nice.
Rachel is a union shill, an activist, and just someone that thinks differently.
What is different about her whining, is she is trying to cease another being heard....that is fascist textbook tactics.
So bizarre that so so many just like her can sit and spew, but advocate others cannot?

OJW...not a remora, freely exercising the right of freedom of expression.
Rachel you and your ilk do not have to like it, have zero right to not ever be offended....and please try to wrap your head around my fact based argument.

Folks it is Rex Murphy, despite his CBC affiliation even I think he is hilarious and able to speak as a 1st world free citizen.
The 20th century is rife with examples of why zealots as she, should never be in a position of power...ever.
Even if it is just a wee cash garnish racket such as a union.
Another union blowhole venting gas from the composting of their soul...is how I see this.

Why all the hatred here? It only proves there is a pretty serious problem with misogyny in the Yukon. I have a lot of reservations about the request on the basis Rachel made it, but why shouldn't she speak up? And why is she being personally attacked? Are people seriously thinking her own job should be in jeopardy? Get a grip. As far as I know, you don't turn in your constitutional rights when you get hired. And contrary to the high regard some government employees have for their own importance, you're not automatically in a conflict of interest because you have an opinion.

There's a lot of obvious misinformation in the comments here that I won't even bother to go into, they're so clearly unfounded. But it sure suggests Rachel has a point.

We're all turned down for employment, passed over for certain honours, lose out in competitions. Why shouldn't it be questioned whether a public figure like Rex Murphy is really an appropriate speaker for a publicly funded event? As I said before, I think there's other issues than Me Too that arise with Rex Murphy. But what an eye-opener to see the quality of comments directed at an intelligent woman like Rachel. Shame on you all.

Rex is knowledgeable about the interface between resource extraction, activist groups and the press.

I wonder why this even made the news, let alone a headline? Someone dreams up something like this petition and all of the sudden the media jump all over it and create a big deal out of it. Almost no one would even be aware of it if the media wasn’t in there furiously fanning the flames for all they’re worth. You also see this happening a lot with the larger main stream media now, for example someone says something that’s not politically correct down in the USA and for some reason the media thinks that I need to read about it in Canada.
I also wonder where all the ‘spontaneous’ protestors you see at these mostly left wing events come from? Everyone I know works and any complaining about the system we do is usually between ourselves in free hours at home, we don’t just decide to leave work for a day and go walk around waving signs around yelling and trying to drown out any people who don’t agree with us.

There was a time being accused would end it all, now you can be accused and get elected to the highest offices in the land. Before it was liberal thinkers that argued for innocence until proven otherwise now it's the conservative thinkers. The work has certainly turned.

I thought the complaint was going to be about his sorry attitude towards climate change. I remember him being sarcastic about the Kyoto Accord on Cross Country Checkup and several remarks that I believe suggested he was skeptical about climate change. But I'm reaching back. It just seemed inappropriate for the host of a national show like that to be editorializing as much as he did.

I read the article and he does seem wound up about Christine Blasey Ford, till he gets to a more salient point about the nature of the Supreme Court. Salient, but not original. That's my problem with Me Too, it sucks up all the oxygen.

I'd object to him because of his remarks about climate change and his vacuous fawning over resource towns like Fort MacMurray and Alberta in general. He's a smart guy, and used to be quite fun to listen to. But he's gotten entrenched in his opinions and a little complacent about presenting them. (He's all over the place in the column in question.) I'd ask if they couldn't find someone better, but actually, they probably can't.

Rachel Grantham, I take great exception to someone that works in Education who wants to stifle free speech, but it doesn't surprise me. The Liberal Left is trying at every opportunity to suppress ideas. To think we send our children to these places to learn and be indoctrinated by these people. Even if you do not agree with others ideas it is an opportunity for you to learn from a variety of opinions.

Rachel Grantham... Rachel Grantham.... hmmm. I have been gone from the Territory for years, but it strikes me that hers is a name that came up in conversation, when one talked about those who hate the mining industry. And with her NDP bent on life, it is not surprising that she would prefer to do away with something called a "presumption of innocence", when stacked up against, "believe all women". Now if I remember correctly, she is quite active in many aspects of Yukon life. Many aspects that go around asking businesses and organizations, for money, or donations in kind. I think she may be involved in a choir, that travels outside of the Territory. Trips cost money. Many businesses make money from those directly in the mining industry.
Personally, if you hate whatever I do for a living, but you want me to support YOUR extra curricular activity, then I think that is just the height of arrogance, for you to even ask.

I wish people would just mind their own business. Rachel probably has no interest in mining and wouldn't have attended the event anyway. Rex Murphy speaking would not impact her personally, yet she feels like she has to chime in. The whole Kavanaugh thing was a farce. One of the women admitted after the fact that she made up her story as a political tactic. The farce probably cost the Democrats a lot of congressional and senate seats. It's a constant thing with left-wingers that they try to shut down voices that have different opinions than they do. There's no obligation for the Yukon Chamber of Mines to respect any petition. I hope they tell Rachel to mind her own business, and ask where she was when the Liberals invited a man implicated in the Khashoggi dismemberment to speak at the Opportunities North Conference.

Ms. Grantham could also have voiced her concern about Mr. Murphy promoting mining as a damaging resource extraction practice as she has criticised in the past. I think I recall the particular National Post column she is refering to and as I further recall Mr. Murphy's comments were more focused on criticising the rabid media and their zeal to tar and feather Mr. Kavanaugh during his trumped-up trial. Murphy also included a few paragraphs about the international media and their huge failure and subsequent embarassment to predict the outcome of the US election- remember the one where Trump had ZERO chance of winning as said by all the media mandarins?
So perhaps Ms. Grantham is reading what she wants into that story for her own purposes? Like most other talking head columnists, from time to time Murphy can strike a nerve some delicate readers take offence to. It would not be the first time he has been demonized by some faction with a chip on their shoulder about what he has written. Much ado about nothing I say and welcome Mr. Murphy to share his viewpoints among the people participating in the Geoscience Forum, I doubt they have similar sensitivities. It would probably be a great opportunity for a physical protest Rachael, then who knows - the story may even go national. Be still my beating heart.

Sadly lost respect for Murphy when he went from being right of center to being uncomfortable too far to the right. No respect for Grantham either for being too far to the left. Both are offensive on multiple fronts.

Bottom line though is that Murphy has a right to speak and anyone that doesn't like him isn't being forced to go listen to him. It's a freedom of expression thing.

Most importantly, we have to be vigilant that we never ever allow the erosion of the fundamental right of the assumption of innocence before guilt. This erosion is coming from both the far right (social cons) and far left (SJW) and it is going to take hard work to prevent it from happening as reason, logic and compassion do not exist at the far ends of the political spectrum.
