Haroon Siddiqui, CM OOnt is an Indo-Canadian newspaper journalist, columnist and editorial page editor emeritus of the Toronto Star.
Siddiqui worked there for the next ten years, first as a reporter, then as editor, at a paper that he deemed "the Cadillac of small newspapers in Canada" in his memoir.
[9] Writing in Toronto Life in June 2001, Robert Fulford maintained that "Siddiqui makes the most strenuous effort to bathe Third World countries in a soft light.
"[10] In an article the following month, Siddiqui accused Kenney of "turn[ing] immigration into a tool of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim bigotry", and of "barring refugee claimants from ‘safe third countries.
'"[11] Chris Selley, writing in the National Post, pointed out that immigration levels of individuals speaking Arabic as a first language have actually increased during Kenney's tenure.
