The author writes: “It is shameful to witness people who seem to be hell-bent against anything and everything Western civilization offers and stands for choose to move here and not only claim victimhood but even worse, wreak havoc.” Both the federal government and the NDP government in B.C. where I live are pushing race-based hiring quotas, so those who come here and bash Canada are above all serving their own interests and using their false victimhood to make it particularly hard for old stock male Canadians to find meaningful work. Schools promote this woke communism by describing our country’s present and past as an immoral racist wasteland.

Canada Research Chair funding is almost solely for non-whites, male or female, it seems. Oh wait, Asians need not apply either. Indigenous or blacks only.
holy moly. Well, UWaterloo went nutso a while back. This: "part of the federal government’s Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP),” which has an action plan focused on “improving the program’s governance, transparency, and monitoring of its measures and in addressing its long-standing equity, diversity, and inclusion challenges. ” if you review the CRCP SHRCC guidelines, if you're a white male kiss any chance of anything goodbye. It's fucking ridiculous. Affirmative action did not work in the US but by all means, let's implement it augmented by 100 times in Canada. eye roll
Wonderful article and absolutely correct in every way, I also immigrated to Canada at age 16 being extremely grateful for being allowed into this great country of ours. I succeeded as a new immigrant by integrating with other Canadians because I was very happy to be given that chance. My friends were people with the same interests as I had they were many and varied from numerous backgrounds and the common denominator was they all held free world democratic beliefs. I was very careful to stay away from those people who showed negative views and or un-Canadian beliefs such as any hatred towards any group.
Having spent 30+ years working in the GTA with people from every strata of life from far flung places worldwide I can state with all honesty that I very seldom observed the outright hostility and anger shown on our streets today by the Palestinian faction and their followers be they from anywhere. I personally feel as does the writer that this has been caused by our current Prime Minister and his political party.
I have also had the benefit of travel to many other countries with my wife and children as well as working in Mexico for several years while there we obeyed the countries rules we were in showing respect at all times for their culture and flag, this is as it should be and in return we deserve the respect of others for our beliefs and ways of doing things while they spend time in our country.
Those of you from other countries who read this and disagree are free to return to your own country so please do this is if you are unhappy with our Canadian ways.

Divide and Conquer: Instil fear through propaganda, divide the masses, create hysteria. Woke hypocrisy, line pockets with other people’s $, Import and Appease racists and radicals, paying protesters to support Hamas, paying eco-activists to start fires, cheer Nazi’s in parliament, arrest Truckers and freedom supporters but violent mobs are allowed, arrest journalists for asking questions, cancel those who disagree, indoctrinate gender bending and dumb down the young, colonial/oppression academic mumbo jumbo guilt narratives, allow Middle East funding of so called Western institutions of higher learning, vilify Unvaxed on a Covid drug that didn’t work, forcing mandates, ignore Nuremberg code, depressed you lost your livelihood by speaking the truth don’t worry there is MAID, normalize garbage, homelessness, crime everywhere. Can’t afford meat/fish for your family, there’s always bugs.
The old fashioned word for 'diversity' in this context is 'treason'.....and as I say that, I am conscious that I am using the kind of language that litters the road to war.
But then that is the inevitable outcome that comes with assault on not just our civilizational roots, but our sexual reproductive ones as well. They are the fundamental pillars that hold us up and together in ways that enable us to produce disciplined, coherent and organic personal and collective outcomes that guarantee our fundamental existential security.
People of gone to war for much less than that. So abandoning the civilities, respect and unity that holds us together as characters and communities augurs extremely badly.
The national slogan for Indonesia is 'Unity in Diversity' which was coined for the new officially recognized Indonesian state in 1949. But since then, there have been a series of struggles that have entrenched unity at the expense of diversity. The central power based out of Java has crushed anything that looked like it was going to get too 'diverse', which is why the Indonesian state is still there in one piece and not communist or some version of theocratic Iran.
The Woke take for granted the security and unity we still have, albeit in attenuated form. As things are panning out, that isn't going to last.
The only reason that places like Canada and Australia are single states with common institutions is the British legacy. Pull that out and the structure will start to collapse and then we will just have to slug it out until someone wins.
This country is rapidly descending into anarchy, with certain groups being allowed to do whatever they want. Housing prices are disgracefully high, taxes the same, and the rule of law seems to be optional. Good luck Canada, you're going to need it.
Every time I see or read Trudeau's name, I get the staggers and jags.

I seriously hate him with every fibre of my being, and my mama said never say you hate someone. I knew from the moment he had his glib little post-election interview wherein he declared Canada has no national identity blah blah post-national country blah blah we were going to be in fucking awful trouble. I was right.
You sure were right. Germany witnessed the damage that a house painter did in the 1930s and 40's and Canada has now experienced the destruction that a privileged, pedigreed ski instructor / drama teacher has done in our generation ."Oh, that way madness lies; let me shun that."
And at the point of Trudeau junior's election I wasn't a big Harper fan, despite always having voted Conservative my whole adult life. I think my Harper apprehension was misplaced, looking back at it now. But I knew absolutely that Trudeau junior was a bad, bad choice.
Did you see Shannon Proudfoot's takedown of JT in the G&M the other day? I had to smile at the title alone (and comic relief is so desperately needed these days): "Justin Trudeau brings That Guy with him to the public inquiry on foreign interference." She explains, "You know the guy: Ask him a factual question and the response is a purring, generic values statement so distantly related to the original question they could legally get married."
There are some 250 comments on that opinion piece, and I didn't have time to do more than scroll quickly through them, but I noticed one reader said, "Personally, after 8 years of this government, I just wish it was Some Other Guy!"
(But your mom was ALSO right, Alison, as you know.)

No prime minister has torn Canada apart more than Trudeau. The absolute worst.

Is this the great Woke Utopia they gushed about?

I know my mom is right. I'm just spending all my hate on one guy. And how this country has changed under his control.
I can’t stand him either. Neither can my sister.
