“Recently, the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found in a grave near a Residential School in Kamloops BC. Pierre Elliott Trudeau was the Prime Minister of Canada while this school was open, and refused to take action.”
“Cancel Culture”
Jason Kenney: Cancel John A. Macdonald and we might as well cancel all of Canadian history
I think Canada is worth celebrating. I think Canada is a great historical achievement. It is a country that people all around the world seek to join as new Canadians. It is an imperfect country but it is still a great country, just as John Macdonald was an imperfect man, but was still a great leader. If we want to get into cancelling every figure in our history who took positions on issues at the time that we now judge harshly, and rightly, in historical retrospect, then I think almost the entire founding leadership of our country gets cancelled.
Outrage over landmarks named for residential school leaders grows as Canada grapples with colonial legacy
EDMONTON — After the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., calls to remove statues and rename landmarks linked to Canada’s colonial legacy are once again growing.
Across the country, landmarks once named for architects and key leaders of residential schools are adopting new identities as outrage over the disturbing discovery grows — a small reconciliation for those who have long advocated to remove these reminders.
Also – Calls grow to rename Ryerson institutions across Ontario
The statue of Egerton Ryerson in downtown Toronto at Ryerson University has been a flashpoint of controversy for some time. On Monday night, new paint splashed across the monument and spray-painted words called for action in response to the remains of 215 children discovered in unmarked burial sites in Kamloops B.C.
Economist and director of the Bank of England John Maynard Keynes was a ‘racist’ who supported sterilisation and eugenics, trust claims as it tells visitors about the ‘darker side’ of Bloomsbury Group
Economist John Maynard Keynes held racist eugenic theories about human selective breeding, The Charleston Trust who run his country haunt have claimed.
Keynes, who died in 1946, gave his name to ‘Keynesianism’ – a branch of economics based on the belief that government intervention can improve economic conditions.
However new information provided to visitors via an app at his regular Sussex retreat, Charleston Farmhouse, suggests Keynes – considered a ‘left-wing’ thinker – subscribed to poisonous views that racial wars and global segregation would be needed to ‘protect our standard of life from injury at the hands of more prolific races’, the Telegraph reports.
Of course … Socialism’s Biggest Hero Is a Bourgeois British Capitalist
Gwen Stefani Is Right: Cultural Appreciation Is Not Cultural Appropriation
Although cancel culture clowns have done their best to personify a woke Wayback Machine that sifts through people’s pasts, making bigotry accusations and blackface scandals almost ubiquitous now, true “racism” is a serious allegation. So when somebody exposes entertainment as a “minstrel show” that’s “kind of like blackface,” we shouldn’t take it lightly.
Punk the Woke
Watching the raucous crowd slam-dancing in their Mohawks in the mosh pit at the Electric Banana in Pittsburgh’s Oakland section in the early 1990s, one might not have envisioned punk-rockers taking the lead against the bullies of the 2020s — that is, against the woke warriors of the cancel culture. But so they are. Punk-rockers have always rebelled against the status quo, not giving a rip what anyone thinks about them or what they say. The wokesters, on the other hand, are obsessed with what you think and say, and if they don’t like it, they throw a hissy fit and shut you down.
Punkers are the ultimate nonconformists. Liberals, by contrast, are the ultimate conformists. They tout diversity, but no group blows with the wind like progressives; in fact, that’s the very essence of progressivism, to progress along with the fads and fashions of society at large. And as they float along with the zeitgeist, they torpedo any resisters.
How the Emphasis on Race is Dividing America
Complaints over the Jaguars signing Tim Tebow while Colin Kaepernick is still sidelined demonstrate the dangers.
Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay started a “Resign for Diversity” campaign urging white wokies to be the “QUIT” in “EQUITY”
The idea behind the “Resign for Diversity” campaign is simple: if you are a woke white person who believes we need to overhaul all of society to eliminate merit on the basis of racial “equity,” then you can be the first to show your devotion by quitting your job and giving it to a person you think is oppressed.
Why 260 Cops Have Fled Seattle
There hasn’t been a police department more brutalized in recent memory. In Seattle, cops have been pummeled by a psycho city council. It’s not shocking. Seattle is left-wing. The residents are left-wing. They’re all nuts. The mayor allowed armed leftists to seize portions of the city. The ‘summer of love’ came crashing down when—shocker—people started to get shot and killed inside the autonomous zone. They have hamstrung the police and spit in their faces. After a summer of riots and not being allowed to restore order, along with an overall anti-police atmosphere, are we shocked that scores of cops have fled Seattle? Around 20 percent of the police force has left.
Less police = more crime, including gun crime. More gun crime will be considered justification for national gun confiscation. It’s all coordinated.
My degree is at risk… because I said women have vaginas
Mature student Lisa Keogh went back to full-time education — to get a law degree — partly because she wanted to set a good example to her children.
She has two sons, aged nine and seven, who are learning about the birds and the bees at school. Previously, she would never have considered this to be a controversial subject — ‘It’s biology, isn’t it?’ — but not now.
Lisa, 29, is facing disciplinary action by Abertay University in Dundee after saying during a discussion on transgender issues in an online seminar that women were born with female genitals and the difference in physical strength between men and women ‘was a fact’.
Nigel Farage: Judeo-Christian West under threat from China, Marxism, cancel culture
Nigel Farage, the key leader of the Brexit movement, has been criss-crossing the United States over the past several weeks for his “America’s Comeback Tour,” warning that “[t]he West as a whole faces a huge dilemma.”
Nolte: Seven ‘Apparent Nooses’ Found in Democrat City Shutter Amazon Construction Site
In the deep blue city of Windsor (where His Fraudulency Joe Biden won 75 percent of the vote), which is located in the Democrat-run state of Connecticut (where His Fraudulency won 60 percent of the vote), Amazon has been forced to cease construction on one of its facilities “after several noose-like ropes were discovered at the site in recent weeks.”
Who’s missing? Top author stirs anger with ‘too white’ history
It has taken nearly a decade to research and write, and runs to more than 750 pages. But The History Makers, described as “an epic exploration of those who write about the past”, has itself been rewritten after its author failed to take into account enough black historians, academics and writers.
Richard Cohen was told by his publisher to produce new chapters and expand others after failing to sufficiently acknowledge the roles of black people and African Americans.
The Forbidden Album Critics Don’t Want You to Hear
Van Morrison’s “Latest Record Project Volume 1” pulls no punches against his woke detractors.
Van Morrison released a Rorschach Test disguised as an album this week in the 28-track Latest Record Project Volume 1.
The critics who regarded him alongside Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon now insist that he ranks somewhere beneath Morris Albert but above Fergie.
