This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Friday, Ge published a resignation letter, accusing CMA leadership of “bullying, harassment, and intimidation” related to his posts.
“I believe what I have experienced is a failure of the CMA leadership to meaningfully reflect on the role that anti-Palestinian racism has played in its response to my social media posts.”
Ge said he couldn’t share details about specific actions that amounted to bullying, harassment or intimidation, citing closed-door, legal mediation he went through with CMA.
In its own statement issued Friday in response to Ge’s letter, but before he spoke to CBC, the CMA said he notified the board of his departure on Thursday, four months after he was appointed.
“The CMA remains firmly committed to denouncing and confronting antisemitism, anti-Palestinian racism, and Islamophobia, in all their forms,” the statement read.
In June 2020, the University of Ottawa featured Ge in an article that celebrated him for turning “passion into action for health and social equity.”
