Now that we have entered the new world of diversity, inclusion and equity, the acronym DIE aptly applies. While schools have long been involved in these activities, businesses have now voluntarily adopted or been forced to accept this left-wing ideology as well.
Consequently, Coca-Cola has sent out notices to law firms demanding that the company will “require diversity among law firms who bill it for work in the United States and reduce payments if they do not comply.”
The United States is about “We the People,” not “We the Minorities”. Democracy is a melting pot, not a salad bar.
Last month, as he started shaping his future Cabinet, President-elect Joe Biden promised to form a team that offers a better representation of America as it is. Judging by the welcome that his Cabinet has received across the globe, one may conclude that he has delivered on his promise.
According to media reports, the Biden team has been “warmly received” in Canada, Mexico and Western Europe, among other places. Radio France Internationale even reports “a sense of jubilation” in Abuja because Biden’s team includes several Nigerian-Americans at its second tier. In Tehran, the media take note of the inclusion of five or six Iranian-Americans in the new team with the hope that their presence would help change Washington’s policy towards Iran.
Biden’s team includes a number of “firsts”.
On Tuesday, six days into Joe Biden’s administration, it became clear why Susan Rice, hitherto a foreign-policy specialist, was named director of the Domestic Policy Council. Rice — unconfirmable for a Cabinet post after her unembarrassed Sunday-show lying about the Benghazi terrorist attack — ventured into the White House press room to preview Biden’s “equity” initiative.
An ongoing anti-racist campaign launched late last year has cost taxpayers approximately $70,000 so far, according to the office of BC’s Human Rights Commissioner (BCOHRC) Kasari Govender.
“We have a legislative mandate to provide education to the province of B.C. on anti-racism and anti-discrimination. It is one of our core functions,” the Office’s Acting Director of Communications Elaine O’Connor told True North.
When Canadians hear about Trump-style politics coming to the country, many collectively shudder.
But within a day of them recoiling in shock while watching thousands of pro-Donald Trump rioters storm the Capitol in Washington D.C., news outlets were reporting on a photo of the deputy leader of the Conservative party, Candice Bergen, wearing a camouflage Make America Great Again hat.
In the days that followed, more Conservative faux pas, ostensibly involving the far-right, began receiving attention.
Never crossed our minds frankly… Don’t call me Canada’s Donald Trump, Erin O’Toole says
Erin O’Toole wants you to know that he’s not Canada’s version of Donald Trump and that his Conservative Party is nothing like Trump’s bitterly divided Republicans.
O’Toole’s assurances come after Justin Trudeau’s Liberals launched a new effort to brand O’Toole and the Conservatives as “Trump North.”
Warped beyond reason by the weaponized lies of diversity, multiculturalism and mass immigration Canada is lost to identity politics.
Show me the difference between the Conservative party and the Liberals. Each accuses the other of their identical sins.
It’s reached the point where only whites, heterosexuals and Christians remain fair game for discrimination by our hatefully woke media and corrupt political class.
I sure as hell won’t be voting CPC or LPC.
“…Between the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons alone, CBC television lost 25 per cent of its viewers. Its English-language audience share is now less than four per cent— a predictable consequence of policies that prioritize quotas and activist mono-think over editorial quality. At Thursday’s CRTC hearings into the renewal of CBC’s broadcasting licences (the transcript of which is available online), virtually every question and talking point went, in some way, to identity politics. On one of the few occasions when CBC CEO Catherine Tait mentioned actual programming, it was to boast about Canada Tonight with Ginella Massa, a newly announced show that looks exactly like every other similarly conceived CBC news show, except that — plot twist! — the host has a hijab. This is what now passes for fresh new thinking at the CBC: the same bad food served by a waiter of a different hue.”
Few care about the woke CBC. I have long said the CBC is its own culture unrelated and even hostile to Canada. Busy spending your tax dollars producing “content” solely for the CBC’s own consumption. Harper should have defunded the cesspool when he had the chance.
I believe that this was said before:
Immigrants are more likely to apply for citizenship to vote rather than to seek a Canadian passport, says in-house research by the Department of Citizenship. Foreigners said they prized the country’s freedom of speech: ‘It was for my children.’
People who care about their children recognise the reasons why they left their former countries and do not repeat the mistakes that made them unlivable in the first place.
No, this is about keeping certain persons or parties in power, hence the ethnic and sectarian divide and conquer.
Parachute a non (insert ethnic identity here) into (insert previously mentioned ethnic identity here) and run solely on the issues.
Let’s see who votes for the issues then.
Three years ago, I signed up for Ancestry.com’s AncestryDNA service, having been drawn in by the company’s TV ads. You might remember the most famous one, in which a white-appearing woman named Kim burbled about how she’d learned she was 16 per cent Native-American.
In the absence of anything more original to write at year-end, the politics of this country are discouraging; I lamented as recently as last week the failure of any visible and audible political leader in the country to offer even a slightly uplifting version of what the late president George Bush Sr. used to call ”the vision thing.” Political discourse in this country appears to be confined entirely to climate change, gender issues, native concerns, and the apparently invincible, bone-crushing advance of the juggernaut of political correctness. The entire citizenry seems to have been mobilized to hunt down, root out, pulverize, and incinerate any trace of the ghastly and abominable, ubiquitous bugbear, “systemic racism.” It is an “existential” threat. The phrase means that the social and political system in this case of Canada is rotten throughout, because of its inherent racist prejudices. In practice, many people who bandy this conceptually and acoustically irritating phrase about have no idea what they mean and if asked to think about it, most would say that they believe there has been a good deal of official racism and racially discriminating attitudes and practices in Canadian history, and that to a substantial extent, it lingers yet. This is utter nonsense.
A backward and divisive racial ideology has filled the vacuum left by disillusionment in the West.
2020 was the year that a divisive form of racial identity politics, embodied in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, was accelerated and institutionalised.
BLM brought with it a politics of victimhood, a view of races as rigidly defined and adversarial, and a view of the past as something to be sanitised and fought against. The cowardice and capitulation of our institutions to censorious mob pressure made 2020 the year we nearly lost our collective grip on reality.
On May 22, 2019, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams gave a speech at the Center for American Progress. Ms. Abrams spoke out strongly in her defense of Identity Politics, stating that “Identity Politics is exactly who we are and exactly how we won,” and arguing that Identity Politics “brought new folks to the process.” That is untrue.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, the CDC was too busy fighting racism to do its job. As the vaccine rolls out, the CDC decided to build the vaccine waiting list around affirmative action
Who gets to live or die? Much like in Nazi Germany, it helps to be a member of the right race.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has announced that the priorities for distributing vaccines are to prevent death, preserve society, and help those facing “disparities”, and then maybe, “increase the chance for everyone to enjoy health and well-being.”
Anyone concerned about the polarization of our political discourse should be rooting for Caylan Ford
What happened to Caylan Ford 20 months ago, when she was running as a candidate for the United Conservative Party in Alberta, should terrify anyone thinking of running for public office. What has happened to her since should worry the rest of us.
Now, she is finally fighting back. After her candidacy was ended by false accusations that she is racist and a “white supremacist,” she’s suing those she says defamed her, including the Alberta NDP, the CBC and the Toronto Star. Anyone concerned about the polarization of our political discourse should be rooting for her.
A royal painting of the Battle of Rorke’s Drift has had its description updated to acknowledge its links to imperialism.
It is among 62 works in the Royal Collection to be amended in the wake of the Black Lives Matter campaign.
Part of the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879, Rorke’s Drift saw 141 British soldiers defend a field hospital against an attack from 4,000 warriors.
