Yes how terrifying. I guess we need a parliamentary motion denouncing all the nazis at Del Boca Vista phase 3
oh gee, what a shocker. it was retweeted by @notandrea, the same journo who gave us that "I'm a white supremacist" video nonsense from last week.

this @UofRegina prof "j wallace skelton" (refuses to use capitals or pronouns) is an esoteric flavour of "queer," as is his 10 yr old. For his Phd thesis, he & the kid hung out with their other trans/queer friends—to explore "desires" in education. this guy trains other teachers Image

@UofRegina omfg I am reading his phd thesis and their is a section called "recriminations"

@UofRegina words fail me. he wrote this in 2022, after everyone knew there were no bodies. Image

interesting case study that shows what white men have had to do over the last 10 years to remain employed in avant garde art spaces. Compare Ben Bogart’s bio from 2016 with 2026. Same guy. Except he reinvented himself as “neurodivergent nonbinary agender” (they/them, of course) Image

By the way, the dude’s “art” is exactly what you would expect

in its new newsletter, the BC Teachers’ Fed., the union representing BC public teachers, instructs us on “Queering Outdoor Education”

Here are 7 highlight lessons

Lesson 1: To study queerness (& white supremacy, obvs) kids shd watch clouds “TRANSform”

bcuz ppl are like clouds Image
Image
Lesson 2: Do NOT say “birds and bees,” which is a dog whistle for “white supremacy” and colonization

Also, saying it serves to “shadow ban” “two-spirit, trans, and gender-diverse people”

It also promotes “land theft” Image
Lesson 3 is on “allyship”

You can learn about allyship from logs

Be more like logs, people

And clouds

this thing where academics & Cdn journalists tweet idiotic things about assassinations…It boggles the mind. They’ve seen other ppl lose their careers & reputations over this sort of thing. But they do it anyway. It’s like some kind of self destructive tic they can’t suppress
there’s got to be something else going on psychologically aside from the ideological component. Most of us think things that we don’t say, because we realize it’s inappropriate. But in this case, you have sophisticated people making the same obvious mistake over and over….
my working theory is that these people have a strong theory of evil in the world, and when an evil thing happens to a person whom they regard as evil, and that person attracts sympathy, it short circuits their brain and overrides their normal instinct for self-preservation ….

Your annual Canada Day reminder that Trudeau & his govt “celebrated” Canada Day 2021 by peddling the lie that the “remains” of 215 dead children had been dug out of a field in BC. He never admitted the falsehood, nor have most of the media that uncritically reported this nonsense Image

I realize that there is a polite, unstated social contract in Canadian political circles that says we should all just pretend the 2021 unmarked graves social panic never happened. We should all just forget about it. It’s rude to bring it up. Erase it from your mind. I refuse to do that
If we don’t honestly confront the hysterias, conspiracy theories and social panics of the past, we’re doomed to repeat them. There’s obviously something broken/rotten in the Cdn political psyche that allowed us to get sucked into these lies. And it’s cowardly for the political and media classes not to face up to this

In light of the endless Canadian nationalist chest-thumping that dominated this election, it’s ironic that the main long-term effect may well be to tip Canada into something resembling a US-style two-party system. (Can’t say this is a bad thing given what an absolute joke the NDP & Green parties have become under Singh and May)
I don’t really write about partisan politics (except for random barbs on social media) and have no deep thoughts to offer about the election results. If Kamala Harris had won the US election, and the Libs hadn’t been able to cynically reinvent themselves as red-and-white face-painted jingoists, Poilievre would now be PM. But politics is full of this kind of randomness. It’s part of the business….
In general, I found the whole campaign season kind of depressing because it just proved how shallow & unstable Canada’s national identity really is. The Liberals went from the party of teary self-lacerating teddy-bear genocide-graveyard post-nationalism to flag-waving jingoists in the space of months, & tried to pretend both personas were authentic. For the most part, our media went along with it. I can’t think of any other country that changes masks like this at the drop of a hat (or writ, as it were)….
