Jamie Sarkonak: Jon Kay’s legal victory exposes Canadian Anti-Hate Network’s anti-conservative agenda

This is a politically motivated group that has no qualms about accusing mainstream conservatives of being racist and using the legal system to try to silence them

A recent decision by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice has given Canadians yet another reason to question the federal government’s relationship with the Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN).

On Nov. 10, the court dismissed a defamation lawsuit launched by lawyer Richard Warman, also a board member of CAHN. Warman sued journalists Jonathan and Barbara Kay for tweets that criticized CAHN’s links to the Antifa movement in the United States, which has been covered by C2C Journal and The Federalist (the Kays did not name Warman himself in their tweets). In the end, the judge ruled that the tweets weren’t defamatory, which meant the Kays wouldn’t be liable.

Universities told to teach about colonialism and white supremacy – even in computing courses

… Chris McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, said: “It’s alarming. Campuses are being ordered to go woke.

“This QAA enforcement of anti-white and anti-Western racial hatred and division is iniquitous.

“It will undermine racial integration in our country and breed either resentment or self-loathing.”

How I went from woke capitalist to victim of the woke mob

Levi’s was among the wokest of the woke. And I was in on it

In February 2022 I walked away from my job as the first female global brand president of Levi’s after close to twenty-three years at the company. I’d given the better part of my adult life to Levi’s because of the product itself — I do love my 501s. (I have always preferred the button-fly on my jeans, rather than the zipper.)

John Robson: The retired general who spoke truth about Canadian wokeness

Cue the gags about major controversy, general consternation and private satisfaction. A retired senior Canadian officer just delivered a salvo against cancel culture, whiny entitlement and “woke journalism,” his still-uniformed colleagues gave him a standing ovation, and the usual suspects reached for the smelling salts. A mirror might have been a better choice.

From our bulging everything is racist file … Girl Guides of Canada renaming ‘Brownies’

Girl Guides of Canada renaming ‘Brownies’ as it’s caused ‘personal harm’ to racialized girls

Girl Guides of Canada announced Tuesday that the organization is renaming “Brownies,” as it says the name has caused “personal harm” to racialized girls and the change will reflect its goals of empowering girls.

“We heard from several members and former members that the name Brownies has caused them personal harm, so we are changing the name of this branch to further remove barriers for belonging for racialized girls and women,” Jill Zelmanovits, CEO of Girl Guides of Canada, said in a press release.

Canadian Forces officers applaud speech slamming climate change policies, cancel culture, weak leaders

… Retired Lt.-Gen. Michel Maisonneuve, accepting a top defence award Nov. 9 in Ottawa, also took a swipe at leaders who he claimed divide rather than unite. While not specifically naming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or Hillary Clinton, Maisonneuve said “can you imagine a military leader labelling half of his command as deplorables, fringe radicals and less-thans and then expect them to fight as one?”

Good for them.

Using Military Wokeness to Justify Affirmative Action

Biden admin claims racial discrimination in college is needed for “national security.”

The Supreme Court may be on the verge of ending the last vestige of systemic racism.

Affirmative action faces its acid test in Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina. At stake is the system of racial discrimination imposed on Asian and white students by Harvard and the University of North Carolina. How could the Biden administration possibly justify racial discrimination in college admissions?

If You’re White and Plunk Down $85,000, This Prestigious University Will Teach You to Hate Yourself

It costs a jaw-dropping $85,536 a year to attend the University of Chicago as an undergraduate and live on campus, but it’s worth every penny. For that money your son, daughter, or offspring of indeterminate gender can tackle some of the real problems that are bedeviling our society today. They can take a course entitled “The Problem of Whiteness,” which is part of the university’s rollicking “Critical Race and Ethnic Studies” curriculum. Yes, $85,536 for this crude racist indoctrination.

Wokeness and anti-Semitism go hand-in-hand

Modern identity politics is rehabilitating ancient prejudices and divisions.

Public discussion of anti-Semitism typically focuses on its far-right variant – much less is said about its leftist form. Woke Anti-Semitism, by David Bernstein, is a welcome attempt to redress this imbalance. Bernstein is the founder of the Jewish Institute for Liberal Values (JILV), which aims to counter the illiberalism of woke ideas. He has proved to be one of America’s staunchest defenders of classical liberal notions of freedom.

Why Tiffany Cross got the ax

Is the media beginning to turn on the woke?

… Allow Cockburn to translate: Cross was becoming burdensome to the network for her regular rash remarks. She advised white people to “sit out” from the discussion about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, characterized the NFL as “all these black men crashing into each other with a bunch of white owners, white coaches, and the complete disregard for black bodies and black life” — and most recently described Florida as the “dick of the country” on Charlamagne Tha God’s show.

£27m of taxpayer money ‘wasted’ on woke projects such as ‘decolonising 120,000 dried plants’

A taxpayer-funded quango has spent millions of pounds on “woke” projects including decolonising a collection of 120,000 dried plants, it has emerged.

UKRI, the government body responsible for funding research and innovation, is accused of spending £27 million of public funds on “embarrassing” and “low-grade” projects.

This includes research that aims to decolonise collections of music and sculptures and a project that will explore the representation of gender and LGBTQI+ people in castle histories.

Now private messages can land you in prison

The jailing of two police officers for offensive WhatsApp messages sets a terrifying precedent.

Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 makes it a crime in the UK to post anything ‘grossly offensive’ on a ‘communications system’. The law essentially covers anything sent over the internet or with a mobile phone. In recent years, police and prosecutors have jumped at any opportunity to enforce it, whenever someone complains that they feel hurt by what they have seen online or on social media. People who have been caught out by this law include: YouTuber Count Dankula, who was fined by a humourless Scottish sheriff for a joke video; Caroline Farrow, a journalist who was threatened with a criminal record for the ‘crime’ of misgendering a trans activist; and Joseph Kelly from Glasgow, who was given 150 hours of community service for a Twitter post, in which he rejoiced at the death of Captain Sir Tom Moore.
