CBC/Radio Canada host Christian Latreille said nothing as CBC "reporter" Elisa Serret categorically declared that the Jews controlled Hollywood, politics and the big cities -- antisemitic calumnies identical to the sickening jew hatred of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels.


("Radio Canada Reporter Elisa Serret Says 'Hollywood is Run By Jews,' After Outcry, Public Broadcaster Apologizes & Relieves Reporter of Duties", info@honestreporting.ca, 9/16/25).


Yet the host, Christian Latreille, sat silently letting his audience absorb Serret 's Hitlerian garbage -- without a peep from him.


Only a host who believed every word of Hitlerian garbage spewed by Serret would have remained silent.


Latreille's silence represents his consent to every drop of antisemitic poison that Serret spewed.


As Sir Thomas More said in Robert Bolt's award winning play, A Man For All Seasons: "Not so. Not so, Master Secretary. The maxim is 'Qui tacet consentire': the maxim of the law is 'Silence gives consent'. If therefore you wish to construe what my silence betokened, you must construe that I consented, not that I denied."


Just as Serret has been relieved of her duties, Latreille should be relieved of his duties. It is obvious that there no level of Jew hatred, whether spewed by Hitler, Eichmann, Mengele or Serret -- that the antisemitic toady Latreille would ever interrupt or contradict.


Richard Sherman, Florida
