It is amazing how racist and intolerant the left is while proclaiming they oppose racism and intolerance. The have even redefined racism to exclude racism against whites. If someone is unemployed and willing to work then they need a job. Color is irrelevant. Lefties 'solve' unemployment by taking jobs from poor white people and giving them to non-whites who otherwise would not qualify. This helps nobody and endangers the employer who now has entitled, unqualified employees.
Leftist promise a more prosperous, fairer society but deliver the opposite. Look at Venezuela, N. Korea, and Zimbabwe.
Summary: Dr. Wolf is a well-know troublemaker fired from several colleges because of the drama and controversy she enjoys. She has an extensive following of white saviors on Twitter who encourage her in this. She still gets hired because she is an aboriginal professor, although at times she claims to be half Polish. In her most recent adventure, 12 of her 36 students in an Indigenous Education class complained to the UBC administration that Dr. Amie Wolf's lectures where poor. She was disorganized and abusive to students they claimed.
Dr. Wolf somehow found out who these students were. On their mid term assessment, she said that each of them were unfit to be teachers because they were 'white supremists' and 'misogynists'
The student complained that this was clearly retaliation since all 12 students received the exact same evaluation. Just copy paste with the names changed. Further, most were female and some were not white, so how could they be misogynist white supremists? UBC administration asked Dr. Wolf for evidence of her claims. She replied her expertise is the only evidence required. UBC felt it could not reprimand Dr. Wolf because she is female and aboriginal. So they transferred the 12 students then deleted the reports to save themselves from libel action. Problem solved?
No! Dr. Wolf went to the media claim that she had been silenced and demanded that these students be barred from teaching forever. She was experiencing 'colonial oppression'. The students replied with their side of the story. The cyber-war escalated. UBC did nothing. Dr. Wolf claimed that she was 'raped' on the internet and her experience mirrored the murdered and missing aboriginal women. Destroy these students careers on a baseless accusation or else UBC is guilty of 'cultural genocide'.
Finally she published the names of the students, calling them the 'dirty dozen'. This caused the UBC lawyers to get involved. Publishing student details contravenes Dr. Wolf's contract, is unethical and is illegal. She refused to removed the names. Finally, under threat of imprisonment, she deleted her Twitter account. Dr. Wolf is now on paid administrative leave.
Dr. Wolf is clearly emotionally disturbed and needs help. Leftist coddling has encouraged her abusive behavior which is destroying her career. Now, she has endangered the careers of these 12 students.
This is ridiculed as 'obvious racism' on Reddit. But, in Canada at least, 'anti-racism' means anti-white hiring and promotion quotas, teaching Europeans to be ashamed of their history and culture, and making 'white people feel uncomfortable'. That is clearly racism.
Still more virtue signalling. This group has done nothing bad in Canada (or anywhere?) and has no significant presence here. The government just wants to equate respect for the white culture with racism and violence. Voters love this.
Nobody thinks a colder Canada would be better. Why would Canada decimate its employment and destroy its biggest export in hopes of keeping winters longer and colder?
The goal was to integrate more courses focusing on Indigenous history and covering more of Canada’s horrific past towards Indigenous peoples.
WTF? Canada's treatment of aboriginal peoples was admirable. It was not perfect, but it was better than other countries and far better than tribes treated each other. Aboriginals were given the right to vote from confederation if they met the qualifications required of a white and gave up their special status. Few wars were between whites and aboriginals. Wars between aboriginals were much more deadly. They received education and endless programs.
Hating whites is not education. It is racism.
Germany’s regulations had been replicated by a “cabal of authoritarian states including Turkey, Russia and Venezuela” that “cynically abuse Germany’s good-faith effort at countering hate speech and use it to legitimize crackdowns on political dissent.”
The government will save us! Otherwise we will believe every teenager on Reddit. Canada's left has become very authoritarian. They love to control what you can say or read. Anything right of Pol Pot is 'hate speech' in their eyes.
Socialism has a failure rate of 100%. It failed everywhere it has been implemented. Different cultures, different peoples, and different continents have tried it with the same result. But that doesn't impress the left. 'Real socialism hasn't been tried yet'.
No need to vet her before the appointment because she is from a politically correct group, in this case women. Trudeau is about virtue signalling, not leadership.
Actually, the right pyramid is inaccurate too. Half of all billionaire families are women. Otherwise it is a true representation. The homeless are mostly men and they are single.
So ignore our most profitable export in order to appear green.
It's much easier to name racist, sexist leftist groups who promote violence.
BLM and Antifa as terrorist organizations on the same grounds - because they're politically motived, and they riot
Yes, this is pure virtue signalling. Also, many unions, environmentalist, and aboriginal activists are far more violent than those at the capital hill riot. But violence with the blessing of the left seems immune to prosecution.
Welcome to the 'economics' of the Canadian government. $150k pensions for nothing. $10.5m to murderous terrorists for hurt feelings. Trudeau wastes taxpayer money like this everyday. And voters love it.
This is how diversity hires work. The unqualified politically correct get hired over the qualified in the name of 'equity'. Our useless Charter of Rights supports this systemic discrimination against white men. The dishonestly-named 'Employment Equity Act' requires it. It breeds resentment from qualified people of all races. These unqualified employees have no motivation to become skillful because they know it was their race that gifted them their job not their skill nor hard work. Their incompetence and entitlement is dangerous to business and to safety.
Leftists: replacing imaginary discrimination with real discrimination.
The prairie provinces would be better off as part of the USA. We all would. The Canadian government is determined to destroy the foundation of our economy, the petroleum industry, and our culture. The USA may need some convincing, but it would be well worth the effort.
Wow! We all know the CBC is an apologist for leftist hypocrisy and hate but this is over the top.
Ahead of the riot at the Capitol building earlier this month, the site featured dozens of calls for violence that were in turn supported by thousands of users.
No mention of the violent and deadly BLM riots and how leftists website powered them.
This will allow for "red pilling people who see that there's an entirely other viewpoint that they've been totally censored from seeing," the message said, using a slang term for converting others to far-right beliefs.
Another call for leftist censorship. Any different viewpoint is dismissed by labeling it as hate. Pretty rich for an ideology founded on the hatred of whites, men, Christians, Europeans, and conservatives.
Yep. "Equity, diversity, and inclusion" are code words for anti-white, and anti-male quotas, as well as anti-European and anti-Canadian hate speech. They even make up nonsense about the Canadian black slave trade. There is no inclusion for conservatives, Christians, or capitalists.
Great point. The French Revolution was leftist and run by the same type of omniscient leaders that plague us today. The Terror was ghastly reminder why every revolution must be continually questioned. Every educated person knows the French Revolution because it is the pattern that is repeated every few decades around the world.
I don't know who will win this expensive fight. But I know who will loose: the taxpayer.
By Heather Mallick who made her career at Torstar inciting hatred against men. Imagine an article alleging all muggers were black or most alcoholics are aboriginal. Leftists are the worst racists and sexists in Canada.
Yep. Lefties are so racist that they believe only those with European blood can be terrorists. Trudeau refused to condemn the murder of French Christians by Islamic terrorists to please his racist backers.
The current orthodoxy states that black pride is good. Aboriginal power is good. In fact, It is fine for any person to proud of his race. Unless he is white. Then his pride is a terrorism. If you are white, you are required to be ashamed of your culture, your history, and your family. White men contributed nothing to this country.
Nobody in Canada is more racist that the left.
Tolerance of the left, people.
This is racism. Some call it the 'soft' racism of low expectation. The policy states that non-whites can not follow the law as well as whites. Why would I hire such a person? Why would I trust one to manage my retirement fund. Leftist like Lord Thomas advance racism far more than the mostly imaginary 'white supremacists'.
