Public Education In Canada Replicates Soviet-Style Propaganda Model

“I’m going to fight this until the end,” Chanel Pfahl told the Epoch Times. “The more that they come at me in an unfair way, the more I feel it’s important for me to stand my ground.”

Ms. Pfahl is not being attacked for using the “N-word,” or another form of derogation leading to backlash against a Canadian public school teacher. Rather, Ms. Pfahl is being attacked for having the audacity to question the merits of Critical Race Theory.

On a private teacher’s Facebook group, Pfahl expressed her feelings on the subject. Stating her opposition to indoctrinating kids with critical race theory resulted in accusations of upholding white supremacy. Ms. Pfahl was suspended without pay for a week. Currently, she is under investigation by the Ontario School Board, with potential for her teaching licence to be revoked.

Regardless of outcome, the teacher has already been found guilty. Chanel Pfahl has committed a grave crime– standing in opposition to the ideological beliefs of government. The grade school teacher has been blacklisted. Her career– and possibly her life– will never be the same again.

Five times the Ford government went woke

Ontario premier Doug Ford heads a Progressive Conservative (PC) government, but that hasn’t kept critics from accusing him of bringing in some pretty woke policies during his first term.

The slang term “woke” is defined by Merriam-Webster as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).” A variation on “awake,” the definition suggests that woke people conduct themselves in a way that is fully conscious of society’s deepening sensitivities.

Most of the accusations of wokeism against the Ford government involve education, with some accusing the PCs of wanting to introduce Critical Race Theory (CRT) and gender identity ideology into Ontario’s classrooms.

Jagmeet Singh Calls The Police Because People Heckled Him

It is hard to find a politician in Canada who could be said to be more divisive in nature than Justin Trudeau, but despite the odds stacked against him Jagmeet Singh always is trying to take that mantle, never missing an opportunity to smear Canadians who don’t vote for him as racist, sexist and insert-a-phobic. He spread disinformation about the Freedom Convoy like the arson hoax, and the man is even banned from India for his support of the violent extremists in the Khalistani movement.

Coming back from an event for one of his MP’s in Peterborough on May 12 Jagmeet Singh was met with an angry crowd who yelled obscenities at him. The F-word was said and he was called a “traitor.” Shockingly, after the incident, there was not a total collapse of society and the world did not spin off its axis.

This is one of those situations where a lot of things can be true at the same time. Was this crass behaviour by the protestors? Yes. Did Jagmeet instigate this by inciting hatred and goading anyone on the political right for years with his platform as NDP leader? Yes. Do two wrongs make a right? No.

Ontario Leaders Debate

Doug Ford campaigning on jobs, jobs, jobs and here’s why

Doug Ford has staked his re-election bid on “rebuilding Ontario’s economy with better jobs and bigger paycheques.”

He mentions the push for jobs at every opportunity and always ties it in with his campaign slogan of “Getting it done.”

Legacy Media In Ontario Create Arbitrary Debate Rules To Block New Blue Party From Participating

It is typically quite difficult to get media coverage as a new outsider party in Canadian politics due to niche appeal early on, but despite the New Blue Party of Ontario only being a bit more than a year old it is polling similarly to the Green Party, has a popular MPP running for reelection, and has a full slate of candidates contesting the 2022 provincial election.

Although one would assume a party that is polling up to 5 percent (in polls they are included in) and “Other” polling indicating New Blue has strength in Southwest and Southern Ontario, the legacy media does not think they are worth hearing from at the leaders’ debates.

GOLDSTEIN: Horwath’s pledge to cut car insurance rates 40% is a fantasy

Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath’s campaign promise to lower auto insurance rates by 40% if she becomes premier on June 2 is a ludicrous pledge, given decades of failures by provincial governments of all political stripes to meaningfully decrease premiums.

Ontario gets screwed on insurance.

Ontario election: Ford’s PCs pull away from Liberals in new poll that should worry Del Duca

Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives have returned to a double-digit lead over the Ontario Liberals in provincial voting intentions, after a strong first week of the election campaign, according to a new Leger/Postmedia poll released Wednesday.

Just as worrying for Liberal leader Steven Del Duca is the poll’s finding that less than half of declared Liberal voters think that he is the best choice for premier.

Highlights from the 1st Ontario party leaders’ debate

Affordability largely took centre stage as Ontario’s political party leaders converged in North Bay for the first of two debates that also included some fiery exchanges on highways and housing.

The debate hosted by the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities was ostensibly focused on issues affecting residents in the north but touched on themes that will make a difference in the lives of voters across the province.

Affordability has emerged as by far the number one issue for voters during the early part of the campaign as the cost of living continues to rise across the province.

Ontario Liberals pledge to add COVID-19 vaccine to school immunization list

Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca said the best way to get back to normal is to make classrooms safer.

“There are nine existing vaccines … in that roster of universal required vaccines,” Del Duca said during a campaign stop in Ottawa. “We will add the COVID-19 vaccine to that list. And we’re going to do that because the science is settled on this.”

Doug Ford Dumb

The Doug Ford campaign kicked off on Wednesday evening at the Toronto Congress Centre, where a few hundred PC supporters assembled — but a few journalists, Rebel News included, were denied entry.

That’s just sad.
