As we mourn the family of four Muslim-Canadians who were killed in London, Ont., on June 6, leaving behind an orphaned child, and as it appears that the motive of the alleged killer was hatred toward Muslims, questions are being asked about the extent of racism in this country. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh went so far as to claim that “Canada is a place of racism” and that “Muslims are not safe in this country.” But is Canada really as racist as Singh claims?

Tom Hanks’s son criticized for using ‘racist’ font on merchandise collection
Chet Hanks, son of the Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, has been criticized for using a “racist” font on his new collection of merchandise which is also controversially called White Boy Summer.
His black and white range of clothes, which include hoodies, T-shirts, shorts, tank tops, leggings, caps and bike shorts, has been called out online for its use of a Gothic-style font that is close to the one used by white nationalists. It’s also similar to the Fraktur fonts, which were used in Nazi Germany most prominently on the cover of Hitler’s Mein Kampf book.
Oakland Councilor – “All violence comes from the same root causes: white supremacy and capitalism”
Opinion: Chinatown attacks won’t divide Black and Asian communities
You probably started seeing the headlines a few weeks ago suggesting that Oakland Chinatown was being targeted with hate crimes. Inflammatory security-camera footage showing a Black man assaulting an elder was suddenly everywhere. Reddit and NextDoor were crawling with trolls claiming knowledge of supposed widespread anti-Asian American bigotry in Black communities.
…Our Black and Asian communities have come together to push back against anti-Black and anti-Asian violence in recognition that all violence comes from the same root causes: white supremacy and capitalism. Black folks are dying from gun violence in East and West Oakland, and folks in Chinatown are experiencing a rise in robberies and assaults. But it’s all coming from the same source.

The ‘Cat in the Hat’ isn’t black — and that’s a problem
Theodore Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, might be one of the most read authors in the English (or, more accurately, the sort-of English) language. Since The Cat in the Hat was published in 1957, generations of American children have sounded out simple words while reading about the eponymous cat and the havoc he wreaked with Thing One and Thing Two on a boring, rainy day. However, the wokerati have now come for Geisel, claiming that his weird, mostly zoomorphic creations are, in fact, racist.
McGill students find ‘racist’ phrase in novel from 1863, drop out of class, get reimbursed and receive credit for the course
(Note – Google Translate) … But first, a reminder of the facts: in class, a student complains of having read a shocking expression in Forestiers et Voyageurs, a novel written in 1863. The lecturer searches without really understanding, then comes across the expression “Work like niggers”, page 99. The teacher apologizes. The word slips from her lips. A discomfort ensues …
…The two students who lodged a complaint were able to report on Maria Chapdelaine rather than Forestiers et Voyageurs. Soon after, they dropped out of the course. We were still at the start of the session.
McGill University therefore reimbursed them for the course.
But not only.
“We had completed a project with the teacher, she had corrected it and me and my colleague had taken it. So, we asked how the grade for this first draft would be the grade for the rest of our session. ”
“After a lot of time and pressure,” she says, the university complied…

David Hogg’s Pillow Company Is Proceeding Nicely
Last week I told you about former teen and current gun-grabber David Hogg starting his own pillow company to take down My Pillow founder Mike Lindell. You can almost see the cartoon thought-balloon over Hogg’s adorable little head: “Hey, if a crazy crackhead can become a multimillionaire by making pillows, how tough can it be?”
Football fans blast historian’s woke op-ed which claims Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ name is problematic for ‘romanticizing’ cutthroat pirates
Football fans have blasted a historian’s woke op-ed which claims that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ name is problematic for ‘romanticizing’ cutthroat pirates.
Jamie L.H. Goodall, a staff historian at the U.S. Army Center of Military History, published her Washington Post op-ed on Friday ahead of Super Bowl LV, in which the Buccaneers faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs for the NFL championship.
‘While this celebration of piracy seems like innocent fun and pride in a local culture, there is danger in romanticizing ruthless cutthroats who created a crisis in world trade when they captured and plundered thousands of ships on Atlantic trade routes,’ Goodall wrote.
Libel notice served against Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam by Joe Volpe, publisher of Corriere Canadese, circulated at Council
The publisher of Italian-Canadian newspaper Corriere Canadese has served Toronto councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam with libel notice ahead of a motion to pull City advertising from a publication that distributed “homophobic and transphobic articles about the Toronto Catholic District School Board, its Trustees and its LGBTQ2S+ students.”
The motion, to be considered Friday, says numerous articles by Corriere Canadese publisher Joe Volpe fail to comply with the City’s human rights policies. These include an article describing a LGBT peer support group on the TCDSB’s website as “pornographic” and another article headlined “Time to put sexualized virtue-signalling thugs in their place.”
I’m with Joe.
CRENSHAW: The Lie Of ‘Systemic Police Racism’ That Kills
Four years ago, five Dallas Police officers lost their lives after they were targeted simply for wearing the uniform. Last September, two officers were shot in the face at point blank range for the same reason. One of them was a young mother. During the months of violent riots that one Democrat politician called the “summer of love,” more than 2,000 officers were injured. By July of last year, officer deaths had risen 28 percent compared to the previous year.
Spoiled Rotten: Students at the United Nations International School denounce their teachers as “racists” and “oppressors.”
Last year, students at New York’s elite United Nations International School launched an anonymous social media campaign denouncing the school’s teachers and administrators for their “vast history of systemic racism,” “white liberal racist thinking,” and “direct, intentional, repeated racial trauma.” The students threatened to “cancel” their “oppressors” through social media shaming. Administrators immediately caved to their demands.
Ignorant PC Nazis end Durham Region Camp X exhibit over military emblem
After eight years, it’s gone.
Earlier this month, Historian Lynn Philip Hodgson was shocked to open an email concerning his exhibit on Special Training School No. 103 — popularly known as Camp X — which since 2012 has resided at Durham Region’s Whitby headquarters.
The so called offensive “Iron Cross” symbol is still in use by Germany’s Airforce and pre-dates the Nazi era.
