Each of the major Anglo states is struggling with shame for their past, and, to cope, has turned to a new philosophy of anti-West, anti-white, decolonial, self-obliterating multiculturalism that elevates foreign above familiar. But it’s Canada, of all places, that seared this way of thinking into its Constitution and social matrix without democratic debate.
In May, it emerged that a group of Sheffield schools had devised a set of ‘anti-racism’ lesson plans. Among other things, they encouraged teachers to educate children as young as seven to believe that white people are privileged because of the colour of their skin. They were also to inculcate the belief that while black people can be racially prejudiced, because they lack cultural power, they can’t be racist.
If Orillia’s statue of Samuel de Champlain is due to be melted down, then the Conservative Party should lead the opposition to its destruction.
Politicians and media in Quebec have certainly noticed the farce in neighbouring Ontario, with MPs from the Bloc Québécois and the province’s media decrying the assault on the Father of New France, and explorer of the land that would become Orillia and Simcoe Country.
MELBOURNE — Former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott is a formidable political intellect. Unlike many of his parliamentary contemporaries, Abbott is steeped in history and political philosophy, and recently published a bestselling history of Australia, highlighting the good in the colonization and European settlement of the southern continent.
As incoming federal president of Australia’s centre-right Liberal Party, Abbott summed up the state of the nation in a radio interview recently.
COTTONWOOD, Arizona — In something like its current usage, the term “woke” originated a century ago among African Americans in reference to awareness of racial prejudice. More recently, it came to embody modern identitarian progressive ideology — and then quickly became shorthand in the U.S. for leftist excess. Americans’ long exposure to battles over identity and our insistence on treating people as individuals may have granted us strong immunity to a toxic political movement our country spawned. While wokeness is, at its core, an American innovation and export, the movement is in retreat across most of American society.
It was once the jewel in the tarnished crown of the BBC – remember those Christmas idents of 2009, when David Tennant charmed a devoted nation with his reindeer-drawn TARDIS? But this week, the BBC announced that not even its heralded ‘festive special’ would go ahead. As it stands, the show’s future looks uncertain, with the BBC reported to be inviting production companies to pitch for a role potentially co-producing a new series.
Albert Einstein wrote the following in a letter to his son in the 1950s about American politics: “There’s something amazing about America’s democracy, it’s got a gyroscope, and just when you think it’s going to go off the cliff, it rights itself.”
Some 70 years later, we see that gyroscope is once again at work.
“Let’s go to where I stabbed this dude,” Robert Rundo tells the camera outside a convenience store in Queens, N.Y., wearing a backward hat and sunglasses as he aggressively chews gum.
In the short propaganda video for his California-based Rise Above Movement, which was posted in February, the native New Yorker is almost gleeful as he recalls the moment. In a detailed play-by-play of this “street warfare” incident, he describes how, in 2009, he battered and stabbed an alleged member of a Salvadoran-American street gang known as MS-13 over a territory dispute in his childhood neighbourhood. The camera shakes while the 36-year-old delivers his stand-up; the footage, which appears digitally altered to look gritty, is interspersed with images of him doing pull-ups with his shirt off and boxing in a gym. The video’s bland title, “Where I’m From: White Working Class Queens,” gives the game away in its opening text: “A fascist in the concrete jungle.” “Fascist” is clearly not meant derogatorily.
In Canada the CBC and its hate group allies have lead the moral panic over “Active Clubs” because it’s racist for White people to associate with one another.
U.S. Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers has again spoken out on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in Canada, this time commenting on a tribunal ruling that found views opposing “systemic racism” theories are not grounded in political or legal principles.
The decision involves a Simon Fraser University political science professor who was denied a job because he did not support DEI.
The B.C. human rights tribunal decided against holding a hearing on the issue last month. Adjudicator Devyn Cousineau said in her April 15 ruling that the educator had no reasonable likelihood of proving that he was denied the position because of his political views, because opposition to DEI did not constitute a political stance under the law.
An elementary school in Winnipeg will send students home with “family gifts” this week, instead of traditional Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents, part of a new trend among some Canadian schools downplaying or eliminating the traditional parental celebrations.
Grade 1 and 2 teachers at Sage Creek School in Winnipeg informed parents of the change last week, just days before Mother’s Day.
Academy Award-winning director Christopher Nolan has defended his casting decisions for his upcoming epic The Odyssey following online backlash.
With the release of the newest trailer last week, online chatter attacked the film for some of the casting decisions, such as rapper Travis Scott. Speaking with TIME in a lengthy profile, the acclaimed filmmaker said he wanted Scott as a symbol for stories like Homer’s The Odyssey being passed down as oral poetry.
The late great author Michael Crichton gave Hollywood one of its biggest franchises, Jurassic Park — still going strong — and the television monster hit ER. Most of his novels became major films, including The Terminal Man, The Great Train Robbery, Rising Sun, and Timeline. Yet today, were Crichton a live white male instead of a dead one (he died in 2008), producers would ban him for having opposed their woke mind virus before it metastasized.
No one is wondering that it will be a woke mess. It just is.
CALGARY — The Calgary Police Service (CPS) is responding to criticism over temporary signs that were posted in northeast Calgary in the Punjabi language as part of an effort to combat extortion crimes targeting the South Asian community.
In a statement to the Western Standard, CPS said it had placed “ten temporary signs in select northeast Calgary locations for a two-week period, which began on Wednesday, April 22, 2026,” adding that the locations were chosen based on current intelligence about extortion activity in the city.

It seems no one dared upset the twisted lesbians.
What one expects when visiting an archaeology museum are vestiges of the past, the remains of the civilizations that preceded us, and the traces our ancestors left in history. What one does not expect to find are woke narratives more typical of a Netflix series, but that is what we can find in some Spanish museums thanks to the nefarious ideological work of Minister of Culture Ernest Urtasun.
