This is just incredible. A female teacher voiced her concerns about school materials that painted a medically unrealistic picture of transition. So this dude accused her of transphobia and threw her out of the meeting. Now he's bragging about doing it.
Beyond satire: They couldn't even figure out how to pin a transphobia rap on the woman, so now they're claiming that she "opened the door to transphobic comments"

This is a school board trustee, apologizing to anyone "harmed" by ... a teacher asking a question about a book

As of a few hours ago, apparently, we weren't allowed to see the video. @ScottPiatkowski realizes the whole thing isn't quite as good a look as he first imagined, and is saying that watching him bully a woman might cause "harm" ....
Update: the video was apparently posted and was then taken down. Scott seems to be in damage ctrl mode
This is what the YouTube thumbnail was this morning, before the video was abruptly taken down
Infantile.

Same dude

therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
Colleagues actually cheering him on

Here's a town councilor repeating the lie that this was about enforcing the ontario human rights code
Local MPP of course

By the way, one of the school board trustees cheering on @ScottPiatkowski the loudest is running for the @OntarioNDP ... not a surprise, since school board is junior varsity prep for an mpp run in many cases. This cult is what the whole province soon gets
"So very real"
All the cultists coming out to cheer Scott on

Grade 1 teacher cheering a dude who smacked down a female colleague who'd asked about a book that presents transition as a solution to life's problems
This is one of the four trustees who voted to let the teacher speak. She is now begging for forgiveness for having done so.

wow it gets better. our dude @ScottPiatkowski, the social-justice champ who throws women out of @wrdsb meetings if they give him lip, is the only white guy in the group. (Conveniently, he's also the chairperson!) The trustee publicly opposing him is—yup—the only non-white trustee
@ScottPiatkowski @wrdsb But hey, you can watch Scott in action for yourselves ....
President of local teachers' union lining up in support of our dude @ScottPiatkowski

much of the leaked info I get is from federal bureaucrats, who spend half their time in DEI sessions, learning about how genocidal their employer is.
E.g. these docs concerning an especially disastrous Oct 10 "Indigenous Voices" session at @TransportCA’s Ont office...(thread...) Image
on 10/10, deputy mins Arun Thangaraj @Transport_DM / Brigitte Diogo brought in a woman named Sandra Bender to do a canned talk on unmarked graves etc. To Bender’s shock, the audience pushed back, noting that those 215 “unmarked graves” don’t seem to exist. So things got wild... Image
(side note: @TransportCA calls this event “Indigenous Voices.” But Bender’s “voice” isn’t Indigenous. She’s white. You can tell she’s white bcuz her NCTR bio is so long: She adds in every stray bit of intersectional flotsam she can muster, hoping to compensate for her whiteness) Image

I do a weekly shift at a Toronto food bank, where we serve almost 400 people per week, at least a third of whom are recently arrived Muslim immigrants (we’re near thorncliffe park). You know how many keffiyehs/palestinian-themed symbols I see every week? Zero. None. Nada. While many of these clients no doubt have geopolitical views very different from my own, they have the good sense & manners not to alienate those around them. (The food bank in question is a church, and many of the volunteers are Jewish. We would never deny anyone entry based on whether they were wearing a keffiyeh, needless to say.) This aggressive anti-Israeli (and sometimes antisemitic) radicalism u see in these “all out for [demonizing Israel|” hate jamborees should *not* be taken as an excuse to vilify the Canadian Muslim community as a whole. By my observation over the past two years at the food bank, the majority of Canadian muslims are focused on the same basic (Canadian) challenges we all face. The performative cadres u see in these videos are very much (though admittedly not exclusively) an extension of upper middle class campus protest culture, fueled by institutionally ensconced (non Muslim) hatebags such as Fred Hahn. This is something I’d ask my followers to remember before they give vent to Islamophobia in their comments.
By the way, I got to know some of these residents of Thorncliffe Park pretty well when I took the city of Toronto taxi course for a blubbertusk cover story I did on the growth of Uber and the demise of taxis. The vast majority of the people in the class were Muslims, and I used to give some of them a lift back to their apartment complexes along Overlea blvd (near what was then my favourite Wendy’s). we talked about all sorts of things, but I really never heard them bring up the Middle East or anything like that. They are mostly just pissed off that it’s so hard to get their professional accreditations back home recognized in Canada.
Generally, speaking, the most radicalized members of our society are now those who spend 16 hours a day in front of their computer, getting themselves riled up over YouTube videos, and other forms of cult-silo political propaganda. This includes both social justice maniacs who insist that Israel is a Nazi genocide colonizer destroying watermelon turtle Island; but also monomaniacal Zionists; who seem to believe that every Muslim they meet has been programmed by seventh century Bedouins to kill everybody at the next wadi. Get out of your house. Go play disc golf. Volunteer somewhere. See how real people live.

Appreciate @Noahpinion sharing my @Quillette piece far & wide. But a few refinements in regard to this tweet.
1) even indigenous groups didn’t claim there was a “mass grave.” That was an invention of @ianrausten of the @nytimes (which, inexplicably, still hasn’t run a correction on his hideously botched 2021 articles) ….
2) the far more common claim (which caused the 2021 social panic in Canada) was that 215 *individual* “unmarked graves” had been found. This was also completely untrue. What was found were GPR anomalies, which, even 3 years later, have yielded zero graves. Some sites have been dug up & there was nothing there (to the enormous disappointment of the justly mortified Canadian media corps)…
3) none of this changes the fact that thousands of children did die at residential schools, and the system was indefensible. A stain on our history. it should also be pointed out that scattered graves without surviving markings may one day be found. Hasn’t happened since the 2021 social panic, but I suppose it’s possible.

A group called Mohawk Mothers has been seeking to delay/block McGill U’s “New Vic” project in Montreal—based on claims of secret burials & unmarked Indigenous graves on the site. Today, @mcgillu’s provost reported that no graves were found, including in areas identified by GPR... Image
(no word yet on whether McGill's leadership team will be indicted on charges of "denialism")

cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…
By the way, can anybody find a news source where this has been public reported? If any remains had been found (here or anywhere), it would be leading every news broadcast. It'd be odd if the opposite news were confined to an internal McGill email

I spoke to Richard a few times. He was publicly denounced by an equity consultant hired by TDSB to tell white ppl how racist they are. Richard questioned her absurd claims, & the woman used him as a case study in evil "whiteness"
This is what's become of TDSB under @TDSBDirector
There's a recording of this equity consultant hysterically attacking Richard for his supposed racistness. In the fullness of time, it should all be made public. This tragic episode gives us a window into the sadistic mindset of the fanatics who've taken over our school boards
last year, Richard brought me in as a guest speaker for a Toronto group concerned about the state of education. I learned Richard wasn't a conservative. He was a progressive who'd seen the harm that social justice fanaticism causes to society. He tried to be part of the solution
