[41] In August 2022, Jamil Jivani sued Bell Media for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract. [41] Bell filed a statement of defence, claiming that Jivani was let go because he showed disdain for concerns raised by Bell management over issues such as avoiding pushing back against COVID-19 misinformation and misgendering Demi Lovato. [42]

Political career

On December 11, 2019, the Government of Ontario appointed Jivani as the province's first Advocate for Community Opportunities. In this role, and as a Special Advisor to the Premier, Jivani opened lines of communication between communities and the government to empower community members and enabled them to increase their participation in government decision-making. [43] [44] Critics, such as his former mentor Neil Price, felt that Jivani used his role to criticize the communities that he was supposed to uplift. [6] He was reappointed on April 1, but resigned on June 9 after criticizing Education Minister Stephen Lecce on social media over the closure of schools and vaccine passports during the COVID-19 pandemic. [45]

Jivani moderated the first unofficial debate during the 2022 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election where he took aim at Patrick Brown, who skipped the debate by arguing that he was manipulating diaspora politics to boost his campaign. An official working for Brown said that the party should welcome new Canadians to the party. [46]

Member of Parliament

On April 20, 2023, Jivani announced that he would run for the Conservative nomination in Durham riding, following the resignation of Erin O'Toole. [47] On August 20, 2023, he won the nomination race, defeating Theresa Corless, a former Durham Catholic School Board chair. [5]

He was elected to the Canadian House of Commons as a Conservative for the Ontario riding of Durham in a by-election held on March 4, 2024. [48] Jivani 's victory speech criticized "the liberal elites who run the Ontario Ministry of Education in this province". When asked by reporters, Education Minister Stephen Lecce dismissed Jivani's comments as his concern. [49] While Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford responded to Jivani's comments by stating that while he wished the best for Jivani, Ford believed that he helped launch Jivani's career. [50]

Political views

Jivani has been characterized as a black conservative [51] and a leading proponent of national conservatism in Canada. [52] [53] He has advocated for national conservative ideas about nationalism, the role of government, and race [52] and Canada returning to the ideals of the Reform Party. [54] Jivani has stated that his views were shaped by his father who abandoned his family when he was in elementary school by arguing that he was trying to find male role models. [6]

Race and culture

Jivani views U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as a trailblazer for diversity. [55] Jivani has praised American rapper Kanye West and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for standing up to what he sees as "cancel culture" after West was criticized for wearing a white lives matter shirt and Smith over her views about COVID-19. [56]

In July 2020, Jivani supported the Government of Ontario decision to eliminate academic streaming in Grade 9 and most suspensions that impacted young students in the province. According to The Globe and Mail , he views Black Lives Matter movement as "anti-family fringe race activists" that hate the nuclear family and capitalism and has viewed the term “systemic racism" with skepticism. [6] Jivani has suggested that terms such as systemic criticism as well as "white privilege" has advanced critical race theory which he believes is an issue in Canada. [57]

Crime and extremism

In March 2014, Jivani advocated for policy changes to the Toronto Police Services Board for police-community contacts and "carding." He argues that people's identity should not be the reason why they could be stopped by police. [58] [59] He has admitted to facing similar incidents. He is a critic of the defund the police movement arguing that they do not represent the "Black Community". [6] [60] However, he has advocated for criminal justice reform by admitting that police officers must treat people with respect, calling for mandating body cameras for police, [61] and has praised then Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders for attempting to reduce Toronto Police budget. [62]

In his book, Why Young Men: Rage Race and the Crisis of Identity he suggested that poverty and lack of "validation in mainstream society" were factors behind the cause of crime. [63] He also added in a later interview that lack of opportunity and inadequate social services as causes behind crime. A few years later, he blamed social media. He also suggested that the hip-hop industry, which he believes is galvanizing "gangster culture" should be investigated for "the role in causing crime." [6] [63] Previously in 2012, when writing for the Huffington Post, Jivani criticized then-Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and then immigration minister Jason Kenney for their remarks on the cause behind Toronto shootings as demeaning. When Ford suggested "immigration law" and Kenney suggested "foreign gangsters" as caused he argued that it was similar to tactics used by the Mitt Romney and criticized then Prime Minister Stephen Harper for failing to condemn them both. [64]

Jivani praised federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, then-Minnesota Democratic congressman Keith Ellison, University of Toronto professor of psychology, Jordan Peterson, as positive inspirations for young males to counter extremism. [65]

Conservatism

Jivani previously described that he held liberal views for a few years after law school but grew out of those views as he grew older [21] and considers conservatism as a form of counterculture. [53] Even though, he praised previous leader Erin O'Toole's character, he was critical of O'Toole not trying to appeal to the Conservative grassroots. [66]

Jivani classified Quebec's Bill 96, which would provide most government and business services to be offered exclusively in French, as an example of national conservatism being implemented in Canada. [67]

Books

Jivani contributed to the 2012 anthology, Jamaica in the Canadian Experience: A Multiculturalizing Presence, [68] In 2019, he published Why Young Men: The Dangerous Allure of Violent Movements and What We Can Do About It. [69]
