Elizabeth May presents 9/11 ‘Truther’ petition in the House of Commons

Green Party leader Elizabeth May shared a petition with the House of Commons on Wednesday calling on the federal government to investigate the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

In a brief member statement, the Saanich—Gulf Islands MP said she was rising “to present a petition, from petitioners in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and particularly in the Ottawa area, calling on the Government of Canada to conduct a parliamentary review into the events that occurred in the United States on September 11.”

Calls to investigate 9/11 are a common refrain among conspiracy theorists who doubt the official version of events, that two airliners hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists brought down the World Trade Center towers. Many insist the twin towers were instead brought down in a controlled demolition with the U.S. government’s prior knowledge or active participation.

May’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday, but the MP said on Twitter she was merely doing her job by presenting petitions submitted to her. She said it did not “convey support” for 9/11 Truther theories.

This is a big news in Canada.

Landmark Petition in Canada Could Launch Parliamentary Review of 9/11 Commission Report

Letter from Richard Gage, AIA Founder – Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth

Two weeks ago, on December 3, Member of Parliament Elizabeth May presented a petition in the House of Commons signed by 1,400 Canadians calling for parliamentary review of the omissions and inconsistencies in the 9/11 Commission Report, including the omission of forensic evidence showing that all three World Trade Center skyscrapers were brought down by controlled demolition.

Ms. May’s action represents a milestone for ReThink911 Canada, which over the past three years has been looking for a courageous MP who would agree to submit this petition.

The government of Canada now has until January 17 to respond — either by granting the requested a parliamentary review or denying it. Now is our chance to draw public attention to the issue and put as much pressure as possible on the Canadian government to honor the petition’s request.

How We Get Their Attention

So far there’s been no shortage of media coverage. The first few days after the petition was submitted saw the predictable media onslaught against Elizabeth May. Then, last Wednesday, ReThink911 Canada, the 9/11 Consensus Panel, and AE911Truth got together to hold a press conference at the parliament building, which earned us a video on Global News with the neutrally-worded title “Petition asks Canadian government to review 9/11 evidence,” and a surprisingly “inoffensive” article from Sun News. (Read more)

But this is just the beginning. For the next 30 days we have to keep the conversation going and show that there is real support for a parliamentary review of the 9/11 evidence.

A National Poll

With that goal in mind, AE911Truth and ReThink911 Canada have decided to commission a national poll to see what Canadians think about a parliamentary review of the 9/11 evidence. Like last year, we’ll be working with the online polling firm YouGov, which will allow us to survey a large sample of Canadians at a phenomenally low cost. And, by doing our poll online, we’ll be able to show respondents the destruction of WTC 7.

If last year’s results are anything to go by, a majority of those surveyed will suspect that WTC 7’s destruction was a controlled demolition, and a plurality will be in favor of a new investigation. Once we have the results early next week, we’ll blast them out to every media outlet in Canada and mail them to all 308 members of Parliament.
