I suspect many of us can remember former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley testifying alongside Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on June 23, 2021 at a House Armed Services Committee hearing. In this setting, Milley was asked about reports that the U.S. Military Academy at West Point taught critical race theory along with a seminar on “white rage.”
In recent months, we have witnessed a critical mass of antisemitic Canadians willing to vandalize Jewish businesses, protest relentlessly for a Palestinian nation-state “from the river to the sea” and even threaten police officers with death.
It’s not entirely clear how much of the blame for this despicable behaviour can be placed on the fundamentally racist ideology of diversity, equity and inclusion that has been allowed to fester in universities for years, and how much is a result of the erosion of shared values among Canadians.
Give this a read, it nails what we have discussed on this blog for years. I am frankly surprised a mainstream media source printed it.
You are probably almost as sick of hearing about Claudine Gay — as of this writing, still the president of Harvard University — as I am of writing about her. As I pointed out a year ago in this space, Harvard’s appointment of Gay, a black woman, was simply the next chapter in the university’s long-running pursuit of its racial spoils system. Gay’s entire academic career has been a testimony to the power of that enterprise. What a prize Harvard had in Claudine Gay: a black female who was an avid proponent of the whole “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” racket. Could there be any doubt that she was being groomed for the top slot?
They’re a little late to the party, but nevertheless still very welcome. The separate statements of Abe Foxman, the former head of the Anti-Defamation League, and David Harris, the former head of the American Jewish Committee, calling for the elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs is welcome. They were dominant figures in the organized Jewish world for a generation and are still regarded as among the most influential voices in the community. So for both of them to come out as opponents of an ideology that has largely taken over the education system, as well as making serious inroads into the corporate world and government, is no small thing.
Groups like the ADL joined in the pile on as the target was white people.
There is a misunderstanding that brainwashing, a technique of mental and psychological reprogramming conducted in an environment of ideological totalism, is irresistible and permanent. However, social isolation, sensory and sleep deprivation, torture, and psychological manipulation in a dystopian environment do not transform most subjects into passive automatons that are amenable to any and all suggestions.
Recently, Canadian universities and municipal governments have become large stages for the failure of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) branches to protect the most historically persecuted of communities: the Jews.
Hamas and Palestinian advocates have exposed a concerning flaw within DEI offices. When differing minority perspectives collide, DEI workers struggle to understand the conflict and remain impartial in their mission. Because they are radical activists, not philosophers or jurists, they revert to their inherent ideological stance: fabricate a victim, attack the presumptive victimizers, and claim political victory.
Harvard’s embattled president quietly built “diversity” ideology into every facet of campus life.
Harvard president Claudine Gay has been embroiled in controversy for minimizing Hamas terrorism and plagiarizing material in her academic work on race. Both scandals have discredited her presidency, but neither should come as a surprise. Throughout Gay’s career at Harvard—as professor, dean, and president—racialist ideology has driven her scholarship, administrative priorities, and rise through the institution.
It just got suddenly worse …
BREAKING: A whistleblower has submitted a new complaint to Harvard’s research integrity officer alleging 40 instances of plagiarism by Claudine Gay—calling into question nearly two-thirds of her scholarly output.

Offences range from exorbitant fees to outright fraud
In the three years since the explosive growth of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in 2020, numerous high-profile leaders in the field have been exposed as grifters. This stretches from outright fraud — as in a recent Facebook case — to exorbitant charges for lectures and similar services, as in the cases of Robin DiAngelo and Saira Rao.
Its CEO has admitted no white male hire is made without her approval. Many would call it discrimination
So there we have it. Laid bare for all to see, the pernicious effect of our national fixation with “diversity, equality and inclusion” (DEI). Aviva’s chief executive Amanda Blanc this week told MPs on the Treasury Select Committee that there is no senior “non-diverse” (white male) hire made at the company without her personal approval. There is no need, she implicitly admitted, to sign off on the appointments of non-white people and women. Most people would call that clear evidence of discrimination.
The good news is that Brit courts in recent years have found for white males who have encountered blatant discrimination such as this.
The federal government says it supports listing Black and LGBTQ people among groups facing systemic workplace barriers under the Employment Equity Act, CBC News has learned.
The Liberal government is backing the legislative change after a task force report recommended the move.
A source told CBC News earlier on Monday that Ottawa “broadly supports” that recommendation and others from a task force that reviewed the legislation. The government made an initial commitment Monday to modernize the act, the source said.
The most inspirational hero stories are about people who never aspired to the role, and never dreamed that heroism was their destiny.
Carolyn Burjoski, a lifetime resident of Kitchener, Ont., was, until her world flipped upside down almost two years ago, content in the ordinary life she had chosen. She loves her husband, her three daughters and three grandchildren. And for 20 years, she had found fulfillment in teaching English as a second language, most gratifyingly to children with education gaps from war-torn countries.
How far will the world let anti-Semitism spiral out of control?
Protesters storming school board meetings, pushing blood libels on Jews, and even a seeing menorah lighting cancelled – these are dark times.
A corner was turned in Canada on Oct 7.
Islamoleftism revealed itself to be far more malignant and far more widespread than most believed possible.
The most surprsed are the absurdly numerous Kumbaya Kool-Aid drinkers who believed Islamists were instantaneously made non-death culty on contact with our magic Canadian soil.
A reckoning is afoot and I speculate Oct 7 will result in the birth of a tribalized right.
On an individual level I doubt many who hold anti-semitic, sorry anti-Zionist beliefs will have a change of heart and the idiots who insist you can appease the crocodile will always be with us so long as the croc needs them.
What should worry Canadians is the looming shadow of institutionalized anti-white racism and the politicization of our justice system.
LOS ANGELES—A California woman sobbed as she learned that her friend’s 19-year-old son was kidnapped by the Hamas terrorist group in Israel.
The next day, on Oct. 12, as news of pro-Palestinian “Day of Resistance” rallies spread across the United States, the woman, who’s of Jewish heritage and asked not to be identified for fear of reprisal, broke the tragic news: Her friend’s son had been killed by the terrorists.
Canada has become a nation of diasporas. Rather than wrapping ourselves in a common flag, we huddle in our enclaves: Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Jewish, Chinese, Black and the list goes on. Faith, color and country of origin divide the nation. Everyone is the “other,” and increasingly, the enemy. Violence and acts of hatred are multiplying in our streets.
When I used to write stuff like that I was a “Racist”
“We got a response from the Girl Guides that Girl Guides of Canada does not allow them to be part of a Christmas parade,” he told CTV News Ottawa.
It’s part of Girl Guides of Canada’s (GGC) wider diversity, equity and inclusion policy.
