The Kingston Frontenac Public Library won’t stop carrying a controversial Canadian magazine even though the chief librarian calls a recent opinion piece in it “repugnant.”

The magazine is Vancouver-based Adbusters, an often-subversive left-wing publication that made its name by opposing consumerism and advertising while supporting activism and anti-globalization efforts.

In its March-April issue, it carried a piece by editor Kalle Lasn entitled “Why Won’t Anyone Say They Are Jewish?” in which he published a list of people he considers the 50 most influential neoconservatives in America and identified the Jews by putting an asterisk next to their names.

Those people identified as Jewish include deputy U.S. Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and writers Norman Podhoretz, Irving Kristol, Jonah Goldberg and Lawrence Kaplan.
