But last week, we also shared this troubling tweet by professor Darryl Leroux of Saint Mary's University in Halifax, a leading expert in raceshifting and white claims to Indigenous identity. 2/6
After we shared that tweet, Wolf wrote this blog post about us & this series of Facebook msgs. She calls us "little ones," "kids," "babies, "immature thinkers," "incapable of critical thinking," "a bunch of dopes." She dismisses our post as "moronic," "a "piece of garbage." 3/6
In contrast, Wolf refers to herself as "an Indigenous female professor who ... has more experience and education than you probably do combined." And she hints at the possibility of legal action. 4/6
Not one word about how playing pretend harms Indigenous peoples. Instead, Wolf says we should be disbanded, then suggests we change our name to "SAD – Students Against Dolthood [sic]."
Let's be honest: what's really sad is seeing someone have a public meltdown like this. 5/6
At the same time, we feel an obligation to continue following this story and sharing what we find.
If anyone (especially her former students) has any new information about Wolf, please contact us. We guarantee that, unlike Wolf, we will respect your privacy and anonymity. 6/6
For almost a year now, folks like us have been providing evidence of the strong links between the COVID skeptics/anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers and neo-Nazis.
And then folks like Chris Shaw have come rushing to defend them and call us "the real fascists."
But who is Chris Shaw? 1/15
Christopher A. Shaw is a professor in @UBCmedicine.
Yes, that's @UBC's Faculty of Medicine. In the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences.
His listed research interest is simply "Paralympics."
And he has a long history in the anti-vax movement. 2/15
In 2011, Shaw co-authored two studies with Lucija Tomljenovic linking vaccines and autism — a link that has been widely debunked and condemned as stigmatizing to people on the spectrum.
The World Health Organization called both studies "seriously flawed." 3/15
#vanpoli Vancouver's Non-Partisan Association will have a general meeting to elect a new board. Angelo Isidorou has stepped down.
But if the NPA really believes "in an inclusive, compassionate and caring city free from hate, stigma and discrimination," 7 more also have to go:
1. NPA president David Mawhinney
He oversaw Isidorou's addition to the board and signed off on a "Trumpian" press release that reads like Isidorou's work for far-right propaganda site The Post Millennial. He has refused to answer pertinent questions about extremism in his party.
2. NPA director Wes Mussio
He's an outspoken Trump & anti-mask supporter who called Dr. Henry "Dumb Bonnie." He challenged a reporter to a fight "if you are a man" & encourages people to join a far-right social media platform. He claims to be in the process of moving to Florida.
