The south Indian cinema wars have erupted again in Canada.
Vandals tore seven screens at Cineplex theatres in the Toronto area that had been showing a popular movie in the Malayalam language, says the movie’s distributor, prompting the chain to shut down the screenings despite the large audiences they were drawing.
The Conservative MP leading outreach efforts for leader Erin O’Toole says a six-year-old promise to create a ‘barbaric cultural practices’ hotline still hangs over the party’s attempts to rebuild relationships with racialized communities today.
“It’s there,” Tim Uppal says. “It is there.”
Uppal served as the minister of state for multiculturalism in Stephen Harper’s Conservative government when it entered the 2015 federal election campaign.
I didn’t need another reason to write off the Conservative Party. Identity politics murders reason and decency. I don’t give a damn who was offended by the hotline but evidently the CPC braintrust are willing to turn a blind eye to any horror.
When it comes to managing your financial assets, you can rest assured that the employees at State Street weren’t hired based on skill or merit, but their gender and the color of their skin.
I hope you’re sitting down, because otherwise the following news might send you to the fainting couch quicker than a Victorian lady who has just overheard someone say the word “knickers.” A new study says that putting a high-paid diversity bureaucrat on the school payroll may actually make things worse for black and Latino students.
No, that sound you’re hearing is not a nationwide cicada infestation: That’s just 10,000 heads being scratched in school administrators’ offices. You mean, all those diversity hucksters who said we could close racial gaps by hiring lavishly paid diversity hucksters were just in it for themselves?
“Old white ladies” are “no longer allowed to volunteer to give museum tours,” says Libby Emmons on Twitter. She’s referring to how the Art Institute of Chicago fired all 122 of its (unpaid and volunteer) docents because they aren’t sufficiently ‘diverse.’
50 years ago today, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau announced multiculturalism as an official government policy. It was the first policy of its kind in the world, and it recognized and celebrated a fundamental characteristic of our heritage and identity – our diversity.

A Toronto man wanted in connection with a shooting murder that happened in North York nearly 10 months ago was arrested on Thursday in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Police Department arrested Hassan Ali, 22, in California while acting on a Provisional American Arrest Warrant, according to Toronto police.
Ali, a resident of Toronto, is facing one count of first-degree murder and three counts of fail to comply, for the shooting death of 20-year-old Hashim Omar Hashi. Hashi was shot multiple times on the evening of Jan. 31 as he was driving into his apartment garage on 40 Falstaff Ave. He died at the scene, and was the city’s fifth homicide of the year.
“Every nation that has survived has had borders that were defensible and clear, and the idea was that they have their own space to inculcate their language or traditions or customs, then enhance their constitution. Without that, it’s just short of a migratory, 5th century A.D. Rome where people come across the Danube River and destroy the nation-state.”
Lebanese-Canadian businessman Chadi Chaarani says he is a respected entrepreneur with an “impeccable” reputation forged through ventures in Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Over the past year, three banks cancelled his accounts and refused to do business with him amid published allegations that he was involved in an arms deal in which Serbian mortar shells fell into the hands of terrorists.
New details about his alleged role in the deal, buried in the Pandora Papers leak of millions of offshore tax haven documents, show Chaarani was the director of a British Virgin Islands-based shell company alongside a Saudi military official and a U.S. defence contractor.
Of the 41 ridings in Canada where more than half the population is racialized, the Conservatives won just one in the 2021 election — Calgary Forest Lawn
The Conservative Party is only beginning to sift through the data from the 2021 election, but there is at least one warning light flashing red on the dashboard: the party has been nearly wiped out in Canadian ridings where visible minorities form the majority.
The Conservative party must denounce white people if it is to have any hope of winning.
Following PM Justin Trudeau’s re-election, Canada doubled the number of Afghan refugees it plans to take in from 20,000 to 40,000, more than fulfilling Trudeau’s campaign promise.
“… Ironically, one of the reasons Sweden is far less polarised today than many other Western countries is probably the belated discovery that these consequences of immigration are in fact very real, and that methods of ”shaping the narrative” cannot really change material reality.
More critically, there is the realisation that nobody — certainly not middle class progressives — wants to live with those consequences at all. Crime, overcrowded schools, social and ethnic tensions, and violence toward ethnic Swedish children committed by gangs of immigrants have all conspired to cool attitudes on the subject. Indeed, the word förnedringsrån (literally “humiliation-robbery”) has now entered the Swedish lexicon as a term for robberies that display a particular sort of sadistic cruelty, where the aim of the perpetrators mostly seems to be to inflict pain and humiliation onto their victims. As such, it is hardly surprising that the recent fall of Kabul to the Taliban was not in fact met with calls to increase Sweden’s humanitarian commitment, but rather with conspicuous silence, except for a speech by Prime Minister Löfven promising that the country would “never return to the days of 2015”.
Every Canadian should read this.
Racial preferences have been almost impossible to dislodge because their human costs are usually hidden. College admissions officers don’t inform rejected student applicants that they were turned down to make room for diversity admits. An HR office does not tell job seekers or the company’s own employees that they were not hired or promoted because they would add nothing to the company’s diversity metrics. The rejected applicants may suspect that they didn’t get a desired position because of a racial preference, but they can rarely be 100 percent sure.
Jon Henes, a former national campaign finance chair for Harris, serves as the CEO of C Street Advisory Group, Axios reported. The company will attempt to diversify its clients’ workforce through its political expertise.
The United States has been dominant in the mathematical sciences since the mass exodus of European scientists in the 1930s. Because mathematics is the basis of science—as well as virtually all major technological advances, including scientific computing, climate modelling, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and robotics—US leadership in math has supplied our country with an enormous strategic advantage. But for various reasons, three of which we set out below, the United States is now at risk of losing that dominant position.
