Robin DiAngelo’s Plagiarism Exposes the Fraud Behind ‘Anti-Racism’

It was a grift from the start.

Robin DiAngelo – Racist Liberal

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.

Colby Cosh: At least Poilievre understands the fatal dangers of socialism

Last week, federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre sent out a tweet in honour of Black Ribbon Day, a European Union-originated day of “Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism.” Because Poilievre is always heavily motivated by making exactly the right people lose their marbles, the text of the tweet read thus :

“On the 85th anniversary of Black Ribbon Day, we remember the victims of Soviet Socialism & National Socialism (Nazism). May we never forget the countless atrocities committed by these socialist ideologies, and may we honour those who fought to liberate Europe. Canada must always stand against socialism for freedom and democracy.”

Afrikaners have been endlessly maligned

This I began writing two weeks ago as an overnight guest in a cosy cabin on a farm beside an endless dirt road in the most remote part of the north-western Cape Province in the country of my birth, South Africa. To many eyes this might seem a landscape of utter desolation: hot, dry and windswept scrubland plateau, flat as far as the eye can see but cut by deep, rocky canyons tight with the most intense and diverse profusion of succulents on the planet: flowering aloes, spiky aloes, furry aloes, ground-creeping aloes and the strange giant palm-like aloe, the Quiver Tree.

A Response to Jordan Peterson

The distinguished psychologist is wrong about the politics of the university.

The Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson is perhaps the most famous academic dissident in the world, having made his reputation opposing the ideological corruption of the universities. And yet, when considering practical reforms, he is stricken with doubt.

In a recent episode of his podcast, Peterson hailed me as a “very effective counter-propagandist” against academic corruption and, in particular, for my successful campaign to oust Harvard’s president, Claudine Gay. But alongside this praise, Peterson expressed concern, even opposition, to my work as a trustee at New College of Florida, where I have helped abolish DEI, terminate the gender-studies program, and establish a new classical liberal arts curriculum.

Harris, Trump locked in tight race in 7 swing states: Poll

Vice President Harris and former President Trump are locked in a tight race across seven battleground states as the race for the White House enters the home stretch, according to new polling released on Thursday.

Trump always polls poorly. Part of that is the deep state/media grift i.e. over- sampling of Dems in polls , part is a reluctance by people to speak to pollsters, as always there are many silent Trump supporters.

Toronto workers have longest commutes in Canada: StatsCan

Long gone are the empty roads and unfilled train and bus seats of the COVID-19 pandemic days.

More Canadians are commuting to work and the average commuting time has returned to pre-pandemic levels, according to new data released by Statistics Canada Monday.

The number of commuters reached 16.5 million this May, up 585,000 compared to the same time last year, the agency said. The data continues a rising trend over the past few years following major declines in 2020 and 2021 when pandemic restrictions kept many workers at home.

I find this number questionable given the traffic disaster TO has become.

Alexander Vindman Represents Everything That’s Wrong With Our Officer Class

France just arrested Telegram CEO Pavel Durov for his alleged failure to sufficiently limit criminal activity on Telegram. What “criminal activity” translates to in European terms is anyone’s guess. In Britain, criminal activity is liking memes or posting dissident opinions on social media. The New York Times reported that the Telegram app had been on law enforcement radar partially due to its use by “far-right extremist groups” for communicating, recruiting, and organizing. That’s Clue Number One, the only clue anyone should need to understand. Durov’s only criminal activity was refusing to censor the free exchange of ideas.

Toronto police arrest 48 people including 11 youths in ‘proactive’ gun violence initiatives

Toronto police have arrested 48 people — including 11 youths, the youngest of whom is 14-years-old — and laid 406 charges as part of two “proactive” gun violence initiatives, Projects Community and Springboard.

After seeing a rise in gun violence in their division in the beginning of the year, Toronto police’s 43 Division initiated Project Community, Det. Sgt. Jeremy Hayes told reporters.

Reducing Gun Crime in 43 Division

Officers in 43 Division seized 24 firearms and recovered three stolen vehicles through two projects initiated at the start of the year to address gun violence in the East Scarborough community.

“Since the seizure of these firearms, we have noticed a marked decrease in gun violence with one firearm discharge in July and one in August,” said Detective Jeremy Hayes.

No word on the Diversity ratio.

Can Justin Trudeau’s Liberals seize on the U.S. Democrats’ success? Here’s where they should start

It was a bit of bad luck for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, having to hold their annual cabinet retreat on the heels of the wildly successful Democratic convention in the U.S.

The comparisons and the questions were going to be inevitable — why can’t the Trudeau Liberals do that kind of progressive political revival here in Canada?

As minister after minister explained, no one is talking about showing Trudeau the exit door, as the Democrats did with Joe Biden.
