When I became the Chair of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in 2014, I said some things I was not supposed to say. I made the observation that human rights tribunals had a bad reputation. This wasn’t received well.
In my first Annual Report to Parliament, I asserted that “Discrimination is not widely accepted in Canada. It is not acceptable to most Canadians to even hear a suggestion of prohibited discrimination, let alone engage in it.” I still believe that remains true today.

Before he embarked on his murderous rampage through the streets of Nottingham in June 2023, Valdo Calocane could have been sectioned. But he wasn’t – because, an inquiry heard this week, he’s black.
In the words of Rachel Langdale KC, counsel to the inquiry, a doctor had at one point been “leaning towards” committing Calocane to a psychiatric hospital. But “the team of professionals” decided against it, after taking into account “research evidence” which shows “over-representation of young black males in detention”.
The Alberta father who severed his daughter’s esophagus and punctured her lung is currently enjoying freedom as he awaits his sentence. This wasn’t for his family’s lack of trying: after he was granted bail by a nonchalant judge (after which he made a series of social media posts admitting his guilt), a relative tried getting him detained on mental health grounds. He was taken in for a psychiatric evaluation — only to be released shortly afterward.
The latest Star Trek iteration turns a great American story into a woke farce.
Forty years ago, as a young USA Today reporter, I interviewed Leonard Nimoy about Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Nimoy was un-Spock-like giddy about the commercial and critical hit he directed and co-starred in. “The biggest laugh,” he said, “came when McCoy says to Kirk about my still mentally addled Spock [Mr. Spock had “died” two films earlier in the classic Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan], ‘He really has gone where no man has gone before.’ Because if you think about it — how did Dr. McCoy know that this was the line that opened every Star Trek episode?” To which I said, “Maybe that’s the Starfleet credo.” “Good point,” Nimoy said.

I beseech the Klingons to attack without mercy.
If Scott Youmans had been hitting a rock of crack cocaine or mainlining fentanyl or heroin, not only would Toronto City Hall security guards have allowed it, but someone would ensure he had a clean pipe or needle to do it.
But they wouldn’t let him play O Canada over his portable sound system Monday in Nathan Phillips Square.
Toronto elected an idiot for Mayor whose handlers hate Canada and hate White people. Everything they do is a calculated insult. It’s hard wired into their ideological DNA.
With a spring in his step, senior lecturer Jeroen Ensink left his home in Holloway, London, to send cards to his friends and family, announcing the arrival of his baby daughter. Seconds later his life was over. A young black male (the relevance of which will soon be clear) suddenly pounced on him, and in a state of frenzy savagely stabbed his random victim. Femi Nandap, a psychiatric patient, was arrested and sent to a high-security institution.
I can imagine that headline getting a lot of people upset – you’re not supposed to call people ugly – but some people are ugly and everyone knows it. I’m not talking exclusively physically, though that’s a big part. A good-looking woman, for example, can be rendered completely unattractive if she’s stupid or, I assume, liberal (it’s never really happened, in my dating experience, as most liberal women could easily pose for “before” photos for any number of ailments and afflictions, so them being attractive is only theoretical).

Non-binary RCMP official defends comments linking ‘traditional values’ to ‘extremist’ values
A non-binary RCMP media relations officer has responded to questions about controversial comments made by an RCMP officer who suggested people moving toward “traditional values” could be showing signs of “becoming more extremist.”
Media Relations Officer Marie-Eve Breton, who uses she/her/elle pronouns, addressed the Western Standard’s questions about remarks made by RCMP Staff Sgt. Camille Habel.
This person is in need of a performance evaluation with an eye to securing her resignation. Her toxic personal beliefs have compromised the justice system illustrating how out of touch and dangerous our public institutions have become due to the entryism of far-left extremists and their anti-human ideologies.
Since 2019, at the height of the Trudeau government’s woke, virtue-signalling remake of Canadian history, it has been official federal policy to portray our national history through the lenses of “colonialism, patriarchy and racism,” especially at Parks Canada sites.
This week, the online news site, Blacklock’s Reporter, exposed two examples of such revisionism. And the surprise is, Parks Canada is likely the good guys in one example.
Bush = Nazi: A History of Moral High Ground
In the early 2000s, if you disagreed with the left, you weren’t just wrong, you were a nazi.
The ultimate slur. The go-to insult. The end of discussion.
It’s so reassuring to know Canada’s schoolteachers are on the lookout for the tiniest of harms that might befall our kids.
The latest example of exuberant emotional vigilance comes from the London District Catholic School Board which has decided that some students might be “triggered” by the African-Canadian novelist Lawrence Hill’s The Book of Negroes.
Jaguar Managing Director Rawdon Glover is on damage control to end the week, appearing in an interview with the Financial Times after the iconic British sports car manufacturer decided to nuke its 90-year legacy with a cringe-worthy 30-second ad published on X.
Glover said the ad’s “intended message” had been lost in “a blaze of intolerance” on social media platforms and rejected the notion that the video was a “woke” statement.
“If we play in the same way that everybody else does, we’ll just get drowned out. So we shouldn’t turn up like an auto brand,” Glover said.
He should be out of a Job yesterday.
Jaguar has offered a glimpse of its “polarising” new electric car after attracting ridicule for its controversial rebrand.
The British carmaker has published a partial photo of the new model, which will be unveiled at Miami Art Week next month.

This looks to mirror the Bud Light fiasco, silly bubble women far removed from real life promoted above their skill set.
One wag commented – Nobody wants a car with Tranny issues.
The fundamental philosophical contribution of Austrian-born Karl Popper (1902-1994) is his falsification theory of knowledge. Sometimes it is contrasted with the ‘verificationism’ that emerged from the Vienna Circle in the inter-war period, arrestingly introduced to the English-reading public in A.J. Ayer’s youthful tour de force, Language, Truth, and Logic (1936). But the two enterprises are really quite different. Verificationism seeks to create criteria for meaning, suggesting that the meaning of a proposition can be derived from the way in which it is verified and that, therefore, propositions that were neither true by definition (‘all unmarried men are bachelors’) nor verifiable by observation (‘there is a cat on the mat’) were meaningless. When I was a philosophy undergraduate, in the atheistic environment of 1980s Oxford, ‘God is Love’ was held up as a paradigm case of a proposition which, being neither self-evident from its terms nor provable by empirical means, was not merely wrong but meaningless.
By 8 a.m. — as most people begin weekday morning routines or sit down for breakfast — Debbie Marshall’s already got pots heating on the stove and meat thawing, and is prepping fruit and veggies. Every morning, from an apartment-sized school kitchen in St. John’s, she whips up healthy, hot lunches daily for anywhere from 140 to 200 elementary students.
