Douglas Todd: Why being ‘woke’ is not left wing

Democratic Socialists Protest Involvement in WW II

Opinion: The identification of wokeism as left wing fractures traditional left politics and can help the rise of the right

It’s becoming uncomfortably clear the left wing of the political spectrum in North America today is increasingly divided. It’s also confused.

The old left, which has fought many successful battles for justice for all, especially for economic fairness, is having trouble understanding an emerging movement that also thinks of itself as left-wing.


It might help the Right? The Horror!

This reminds me of when the Left protested involvement in WW II – until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union and also of Trudeau warning that exposing his government’s suspicious behavior with Communist China actually helps the ChiComs undermine our society.

“Firemen” is a sexist and exclusionary term that should be “erased from our vocabulary”, a top city official has said.

Dave Russel, Greater Manchester’s chief fire officer, has said the singular and plural forms of the word will “not be tolerated” because they are “a form of micro-aggression that is damaging to our culture”.

Study finds 42% of Canadians support socialism in Canada … they also enjoy sniffing glue

A new Fraser Institute poll found 42% of Canadians — and as many as 50% in the 18-24 age range — are in favour of socialism but few want to foot the bill for it.

ISIS Women Accused of Turning Boys as Young as 13 Into a Human Stud Farm

Boys as young as 13 rescued from detention camps say they were forced to try to impregnate dozens of ISIS women, since there are no men in the camps.

Two boys have come forward to claim they were victims in a twisted plot run by ISIS women that forced at least 10 young teenagers to try to impregnate dozens of women held in a detention center.

“We are being forced to have sex with the ISIS women, to impregnate them,” Ahmet, 13, and Hamid, 14, told a guard at Camp al Hol in northeast Syria, according to Syrian Defense Force officials. “Can you get us out of here?”

Camp al Hol is one of the detention centers housing approximately 8,000 foreign ISIS-affiliated women and children who surrendered or were captured as a result of the 2019 territorial defeat of the so-called Islamic State.

Fiddling while Ohio burns

The Democratic elites aren’t even pretending to care about the East Palestine disaster.

I’m calling it. We have finally hit rock bottom. Aided and abetted by the craven corporate media, the American liberal-left establishment has pushed the boundaries of ineptitude to the point of parody. And now Donald Trump is poised to steal the left’s lunch, eat it and let it swirl around in the toilet – along with the liberal elite’s political credibility.

Trudeau launches lame attack on Opposition after being caught out on suspicious lack of response to ChiCom election interference & espionage activities

Political spin on election interference helps China undermine democracies: Trudeau

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says members of Parliament who put a political spin on foreign election interference are helping China undermine Canadians’ confidence in their democracy.

He says playing “political games” to get a partisan advantage will undermine people’s trust in their institutions, and will only assist the efforts of countries like Russia and China that attempt to make democracies unstable.

He told reporters today that Canadians must have trust in the electoral process, regardless of which political party is in power, and parties must work together on the issue.
