In a province that’s added a generous share of race communism and guilt politics to its classrooms and teacher training materials in the past decade, it shouldn’t be a surprise that some teachers are taking kids to protests.
Ontario’s curriculum includes teachings that promote Marxism, Critical Race Theory and the identification and shaming of “dominant” groups in society, all while denigrating colonialism — and white people, by proxy — as a simplistic force of evil.
The homily “Many a truth is said in jest” may apply to the opening paragraph of Joel Stein’s quasi-review of the comedic anti-DEI documentary Am I Racist? by anti-woke activist and satirist Matt Walsh, in The Hollywood Reporter.
Rufo said what motivates politicians to act is a sense of urgency often emanating from media rooted in facts. To get politicians to act, he said he has generated media narratives.
By doing his investigations, he said he has been able to work news cycles. There is an adage in local television newsrooms that if it bleeds, it leads.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Office for Civil Rights concluded on Tuesday that it has “sufficient authority and cause” to investigate allegations that the Cleveland Clinic violated federal civil-rights law by discriminating against white patients.
The investigation was opened in response to a complaint filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) on behalf of the medical watchdog Do No Harm on August 14. The complaint alleges that the Cleveland Clinic “treats white individuals differently from certain racial and ethnic minorities in the tailoring and provision of services provided through its Minority Stroke Program and Minority Men’s Health Center.
To see how debased ‘progressives’ have become, behold Robin DiAngelo stumping up 30 bucks in ‘reparations’ to an African-American gent. It happens in Matt Walsh’s new film, Am I Racist?, a Borat-style mockumentary that sends up race grifters. Walsh interviews DiAngelo while disguised as a self-hating hipster cracker: ponytail, cheap specs, lame blazer. He brings on his producer, Ben, a man of ethnic-minority heritage. He offers Ben cash, as a small gesture of white regret for the ‘400 years of oppression’ Ben’s people have experienced in America. He invites Ms DiAngelo to do likewise. She’s reluctant, but she does it – she skulks over to her purse, fishes out 30 dollars, and hands it to the black man. ‘That’s all the cash I have’, she says, in pained tones.
In a sea of complicity, acts of individual courage illuminate the darkness. One such moment, seared into my mind and giving me hope each day, is captured in a 1936 photograph of August Landmesser at the Blohm+Voss shipyard, where he alone crossed his arms, refusing to give the Nazi salute. His silent defiance became an enduring symbol of resistance to tyranny.
This is not an argument suited to Canada where for the past decade the public has been silenced by a Liberal government intent on criminalizing dissent to its policies.
The Liberal government has maliciously labeled anyone a racist who spoke out in opposition to its mass immigration policy.
That same Liberal government labeled anyone who spoke out against Islamist predation Islamophobic.
That same lunatic Liberal government labels you a transphobe because you refuse to believe women have penises.
In Canada governments at all levels have embraced DEI and its hate fueled fanatics who label even children as racist oppressors just because they have white skin.
Want a job in the civil service? Forget about it if you’re a White male.
Planning to stand up for your self if you’re “White”? Why you must be a nativist Nazi worse than Hitler!
My readers and I, a happy conglomerate of faiths, have been called all of those things over the years by our so called “elites” and organizations the Liberal government subsidizes.
A few prominent voices have spoken out against the perversity of DEI and its persecution of White people but most stood by in silence.
Was their silence also complicity?
There’s a lot going on today. B’nai Brith has embraced DEI hoping to win a coveted spot on the designated victimhood wall of fame and we just can’t wait to find out who the Villainous Oppressor Colonizers are keeping them down!
And now this … CIJA decides to sacrifice the JDL.
This unfortunate statement from CIJA gives definition to the term Erev Rav or Kapo. A Jewish student attended an Israel Now Counter Protest against Hamas supporters and waved a Jewish Defence League banner and CIJA posted their nonsense. CIJA should of joined the Counter… https://t.co/gZ3LoP2pbe

It was a grift from the start.
Robin DiAngelo now joins a growing list of prominent racial agitators, festooned with advanced degrees, who have been exposed as plagiarists. Aaron Sibarium of the Washington Free Beacon has published side-by-side comparisons of segments of DiAngelo’s doctoral dissertation with writings by various scholars. It is apparent at a glance that DiAngelo lifted whole sentences and paragraphs from other authors without attribution. In some places, she made single-word substitutions. Occasionally, she deleted a sentence or two from the original or inserted mid-paragraph a sentence of her own.
Robin DiAngelo, the best-selling author of White Fragility, is a big believer in citing minorities.
In an “accountability” statement on her website, which makes repeated reference to her Ph.D., DiAngelo, 67, tells “fellow white people” that they should “always cite and give credit to the work of BIPOC people who have informed your thinking.”
Teachers will be taught to challenge “whiteness” in lessons.
Guidance has been created for teacher-training courses, to ensure future educators are “anti-racist” and prepared to implement this in the classroom.
Teachers will be instructed in how to “disrupt the centrality of whiteness” in schools, according to a best-practice document.
The term “whiteness” in critical race theory refers to social attitudes considered normal by white people, and guidance suggests that concepts including “meritocracy”, “objectivity” and “individualism” should be questioned.
This clip will begin at roughly the 34 minute mark.
The segment I posted yesterday was edited to exclude the reference to the antisemitism of Canada and Europe.
I maintain my belief that the “silence” of previously reliable support noted by the Jewish community stems at least in part from the foolish embrace of racist policies like DEI and CRT by Jewish leadership.
Batya Ungar-Sargon is the first from the Jewish community to speak out about the folly of that choice that I am aware of.
I don’t believe she has a Canadian counterpart but I would love to be introduced to one if such a person exists.
As she notes of America’s leadership I suspect our Swells are wondering why the Trannies and BLM get a spot on the DEI hierarchy of victimhood and they don’t.
It’s a coveted designation as it allows “Open Season On Whitey” without repercussions.
She is not wrong in her assessment of Canada given our streets are daily given over to the Muslim mob and their useful idiots on the left.
How many of you have been labelled “islamophobes” or “racists” or “white supremacists” by the so called “anti-racists”, “Thought leaders” and journalists of the Jewish community and their allies?
Over the years all those types have taken their shots at me for having the audacity to speak out against Islam and mass immigration.
A national historic site reopens with a new look at John A. Macdonald’s legacy
“The hard truths are hard to avoid now at Bellevue House.
… In the aftermath of the confirmation, in 2021, of hundreds of unmarked graves discovered on the grounds of Canada’s residential schools, the city of Kingston was forced to reckon with how to present its once favourite son. “We needed to address the elephant in the room,” Hugh Ostrun, Superintendent of National Historic Sites in Eastern and Central Ontario, says. Concerned Parks Canada staff realized it was time to do more than just fix the roof and wiring. The pandemic gave them time to take stock.”
Our heritage is reduced to Marxist libels.
Hammering a long-overdue nail in the coffin of Ibram X. Kendi’s career.
Ibram X. Kendi, one of the premier philosopher-kings of 2020’s “racial reckoning,” is now facing a reckoning of his own. Or at least, that’s the title of today’s lengthy New York Times magazine profile of Kendi’s fall from grace (“Ibram X. Kendi Faces a Reckoning of His Own”). In reality, Kendi’s faux-intellectual hustle has been mired by controversies, snags, and setbacks for years; if papers like the Times only appear to have noticed now, it’s because raising certain nuanced, moderate “concerns” about the vast constellation of post-Black Lives Matter dogmas has suddenly been greenlit by the priesthood of acceptable opinion.
It’s popular these days to cancel historical figures when their views do not exactly mimic our own.
For those who practice such deliberate historic amnesia, streets, bridges, and entire neighbourhoods are renamed, or statues removed, to satisfy an Orwellian need to block out what is assumed to be a blot on the human species — men and women who came before us and built Canada.
That the revolutionary Marxist concept of “decolonization” should apply to Canada, itself a former colony that gained independence with scarcely a drop of blood shed, had no legacy of slavery, and then developed as an independent nation without significant internal violence, might seem like quite a reach. But the idea gained a toehold here 50 years ago and, after remaining quiescent for decades, has metastasized into what we see today: a conviction that Canada’s political and social structures are inherently oppressive and racist and must be torn down.
In this second part of my three-part editorial series (Part 1 can be read here), I’ll explore how this happened.
… In Canada, as elsewhere, Israel’s enemies target it with unhinged ferocity. Too many decent people don’t recognize that this vilification is unjustified and one-sided because it’s been normalized by an accommodating establishment and mainstream media. Moral clarity was always an endangered species in the Middle Eastern conflict.
A principled Canada would protect it’s Jews? Really?
Would that be the principled Canada of Jews for Gaza?
Would that be the principled Canada of Bernie Farber’s CAHN?
Would that be the principled Canada that has demonized White people through DEI and CRT for the past decade?
Would that be the principled Canada of fake mass graves and burning churches?
Would that be the principled Canada that force marched us down the one way street of multiculturalism and diversity while denigrating our nation as founded on genocide?
Would that be the principled Canada whose elites have flooded the nation with incompatible immigrant cultures yet demands that we bigots learn to be tolerant?
Would that be the principled Canada that declares White supremacism a major threat while allowing multiple imported ethnic conflicts to be fought out in our streets?
Would that be the principled Canada that smeared you as a racist for daring to point out the folly of Mass Islamist immigration?
Would that be the principled Canada where some of the same super tolerant blowhards who called us Islamophobes are suddenly the most enthusiastic of Islamophobes?
Would that be the principled Canada whose security services play down the threat of Muslim terrorism to please their political masters?
Would that be the principled Canada where identity politics is so out of hand that they appointed an Islamophobia Tsar who doubles as an Hamas cheerleader?
Would that be the principled Canada where the Mayor of Toronto declares a ceremonial flag raising “divisive”?
Would that be the principled Canada where most of the government media is as suspect as Press TV?
You see I’m a little confused. I consider myself to be a decent person even if I am one of those Islamophobic Demon Whites this country’s elites hate so fucking much so I’m more than a little surprised you’re asking for my help.
PS. That principled Canada you refer to is a thing of the past. Our principled elites trashed it or have you forgotten?
