If you’ve lived in Calgary for a number of years (and especially if you were born in Calgary) you might be a racist.
If you own a home in Calgary, you might be a racist.
If you operate a business or provide services in Calgary, you might be a racist.
A Montreal community centre has cancelled its plans for a “family-friendly” dance party after it was pilloried for stratifying admission pricing based on race.
The Shake La Cabane FAM-JAM – to be held Sunday, Dec. 8, at La Cabane community centre – advertised $25.83 general admission, but only $15.18 if the attendee was “Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Colour.”
A wave of South Asian racism is sweeping Canada — and the Liberals’ missteps on immigration helped fuel the problem
Ashwin Annamalai, a housing and transit advocate, is not the type to keep quiet.
But he says he never thought he’d be talking about the racism he’s experienced in 2024.
The 31-year-old software programmer, who moved to Canada from India to study computer science at the University of Waterloo in 2018, has grown accustomed to seeing hateful posts about people of South Asian ancestry online — pointing to a recent post in a Waterloo Facebook group where a user, using a derogatory term for South Asians, says “they will never be Canadian and they all need to go back.”
I feel so sorry for him! An elderly woman he scared abused him! He should go jump on the first boat home!
The once welcoming community of Kitchener-Waterloo has seen a disturbing rise in hate, particularly against people of colour.

This guy is hoping to secure a cushy little sinecure on the DEI grievance bandwagon.
A jury found Daniel Penny innocent of Alvin Bragg’s ridiculous charges related to subduing a homeless man who threatened passengers in a subway car. The exoneration demolished a media narrative that Penny was a white supremacist stalking black men.
AP said, “A Marine veteran who used a chokehold on an agitated subway rider was acquitted on Monday in a death that became a prism for differing views about public safety, valor and vigilantism.”
God forbid people defend themselves and others! Why that could lead to civilization and public safety! And we all know the Liberal-Left is upset simply because Penny is a white male.
“Why did the Jews stay?”
This question, asked by a high school student during a recent Holocaust education session I gave at a Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., high school, shook me. Today, as violent antisemitism surges in cities like Montreal, Amsterdam and beyond, it is a question many Canadian Jews, including myself, are now asking.
… For many, escaping was logistically and financially impossible — one needed a place to go and the means to get there by train or boat. Some believed the horror was temporary, trusting non-Jewish friends to demand justice. Sound familiar?
This article goes directly to the victimhood fail file. The author is a former union leader who happens also to be Jewish.
He was an OPSEU member. What does OPSEU have to say about Diversity? About Muslims? About White people?
In a world where racism, far-right ideology and white nationalism are on the rise – where Jews, Muslims, immigrants and other equity-seeking groups are threatened with discrimination and increasing violence – we must take a stand against division and fear, and embrace unity and hope.
So Whites who stand up for themselves, who care about the Canada we are in the process of losing are slandered as “White Nationalists” undeserving of a country or protection under his treasured concept of “equity”.
Any opinion that is right of Stalin is of course smeared as “Far-Right”.
These policies were in place while Arbus served.
He is a tone deaf hypocrite to lecture us about the silence of support and the hatefulness of Canada when he and his union are among the “oppressor class” of institutionalized anti-White racism in Canada.
Same Singhs, different day.
This decade old article by a Sikh journalist which labelled white Canadians as racists for fleeing their homes in Brampton did not age well.
Now everyone sees on a daily basis why they fled Brampton. pic.twitter.com/72tZcX5SMY— AwareBears (@bears_aware) December 5, 2024
This article was written in 2013 and of course White people are racist.
White flight takes hold in Brampton
Mary Di Biase doesn’t want to become part of a quiet but growing migration out of Brampton. But after living there for almost 43 years, leaving is often on her mind.

Majority of Canadians oppose equity hiring — more than in the U.S., new poll finds
A majority of Canadians say that employers should not take cultural or ethnic backgrounds into consideration when hiring, according to new polling.
Fifty-seven per cent of Canadians disagree with the notion that equity should be a part of hiring, according to the poll done by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies.
“The survey results point to some pushback on the issue of minority hiring in Canada and the United States,” said Jack Jedwab, president of the Association for Canadian Studies, in an email.
Still haven’t heard anything from Poilievre on whether he will repeal Canada’s current anti-White hiring legislation.

Ahead of the holiday season, Amanda Calhoun appeared on MSNBC’s The ReidOut to deliver a message to its liberal viewers: It’s okay to cut off your conservative relatives.
“So, if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you,” Calhoun told Joy Reid earlier this month, “it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. I think you should very much be entitled to do so, and I think it may be essential for your mental health.”

Ten years in an America enslaved to race recrimination
Adecade ago, in June 2014, the Atlantic published a cover story with a simple declarative title: “The Case for Reparations,” by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The piece had taken him two years to write, and the work paid off — with praise sweeping through the ranks of media, prizes from the most prominent elite institutions. The piece was named the “Top Work of Journalism of the Decade” by New York University’s journalism institute. It was hailed as a rare piece of writing which pushed open a cultural dialogue about a controversial subject.
This conversation had been taking place among liberal elites and in all the high places they command — at the Kennedy School and in the New Yorker and National Public Radio — but in August that year it exploded into something more when the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri became a flashpoint in America’s racial reckoning. Coates’s examination of America’s incapacity to truly deal with its history of sin, slavery and persecution went from being the stuff of ethical and intellectual debate to creating the basis for an entire movement — bridging the gap between the high and the low.
Donald Trump couldn’t be clearer. He intends to abolish the Department of Education. He stated during the election campaign that “one thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, DC, and sending all education … back to the states”.
Some are wondering why he would bother. Created 45 years ago in the dying days of Jimmy Carter’s administration, the Department is one of the smaller Cabinet-level federal agencies. With a mere four and half thousand employees, abolishing it will hardly drain the Washington swamp.
The reason Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil (1702-65) wasn’t commemorated with a Parks Canada plaque until last week might have something to do with his history of raiding and scalping British colonists.
Beausoleil, an Acadian born into the dying days of Acadia, didn’t take too kindly to British rule. The Brits took much of the territory in 1713, snapping up New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in the resolution of the War of the Spanish Succession. So, in adult life, Beausoleil did what he could to terrorize the new owners of the land.
The Welsh Government has pledged to change the “beliefs and behaviour of the white majority” in Wales.
Labour’s devolved administration vowed to eradicate racism by 2030, and set out an anti-racist action plan which insists that all aspects of public life are made “inclusive”.
To meet the demands of the plan, public bodies have launched policies which include potentially destroying statues of “old white men” that have been deemed offensive, and official reports have advised creating “dog free areas” to boost inclusion.
Lecturer links science to ‘white supremacy’ and and colonialism
The study of the Earth’s rocks and natural resources is racist and linked to “white supremacy”, according to a geography professor at a leading UK university.
Kathryn Yusoff, an academic at Queen Mary University of London, said the hard science subject of geology was “riven by systemic racism” and colonialism.
She also suggested palaeontology, the study of prehistoric life through fossils, was partly to blame for racism, labelling it “pale-ontology”.
During a discussion on the necessity of the Senate’s role in advising and consenting to cabinet appointees on MSNBC’s Friday edition of The Beat with Ari Melber, activist and lawyer Maya Wiley took a bit of a detour to attack Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth for allegedly having “white supremacist and extremist tattoos.”
It should have been obvious that the anti-Canadian left would come for Remembrance Day eventually. The bigger surprise was how long they waited before incorporating ritual humiliation and scolding into the ceremonies of Nov. 11.
Of all the holidays, sombre and celebratory, Remembrance Day should strike decent and competent people as the one above the culture wars. It is deeply dishonourable to shoehorn modern ideologies onto the holiday that commemorates and pays tribute to Canada’s soldiers, both living and passed on.
