Another adventure in deportation and anchorbabyism. This is a woman named Sandeep Kaur.
2017: Enters Canada on visitor visa with husband. Gives birth.
2019: Told to leave, claims asylum
2023: Asylum refused
2024: Asylum appeal refused, PR (humanitarian grounds) refused 3x
...
March 2025: Deportation deferred because kid's doc appt
April 2025: Deportation deferred because she didn't produce plane ticket
May 2025: Deportation scheduled; loses emergency application to cancel on basis of kid's medical needs. CBSA detains her instead.
This whole time she was working at @WalmartCanada even though she was here illegally.

Her husband is also evading the CBSA.

@WalmartCanada The woman tried to use her Canadian kid's medical issues against deportation, but wouldn't let CBSA doctors look at the kid. Bogus. She brought the kid to the deportation hearings, which the judge thought was just a sympathy ploy. Then, she "lost" the kid's passport.
@WalmartCanada Unclear if she was actually deported. We never get to know the conclusion of these stories. But it shows, yet again, just how weak our system is. Infinity appeals. Citizenship handed to anchor babies whose parents are only here to abuse visa privileges. It has to stop.

So, if I'm reading this right, a B.C. court just obliterated Crown and municipal land ownership along parts of the Fraser River (highlighted), and left the door open to wiping out private property rights nearby. Image
The ruling says that Crown/municipal land ownership within Cowichan title lands (outlined below) infringes upon aboriginal title.

As a result, the judge declared that Crown/municipal title to certain parcels of land (cyan, above) was invalid.
bccourts.ca/jdb-txt/sc/25/…Image
Regarding private land, the judge (Barbara Young, a Harper appointee) takes an ominous tone: private title is valid... for now.

She also ruled that the Crown has a duty to "reconcile" the competing interests of private landowners and the Cowichan. Who knows what that looks like. Image

The federal government is consulting Canadians on future revisions to the Employment Equity Act until the end of July. The law mandates identity-based hiring practices in the federal government, its agencies, and its contractors.

I've pulled some highlights: Image
Consultation documents raise the possibility of defining the identity groups currently covered in the EEA. So, "women" is up for a re-definition (my bet is they'll expressly state that this group includes anyone who self-IDs as a woman). Image
The resurrected Law Commission of Canada will likely be tasked with pondering more groups to add to the preferred hiring list (Muslims have been raised as a possibility by the task force mentioned).

The Commission also has its own diversity preferences, btw. Image

The amount of new funding the Canadian government has given to DEI has ramped up massively in the past several years. Budget 2024 had a few graphs to help illustrate this.

Spending on inclusion and anti-hate measures in...
2017: $0
2024: $800 million Image
"Combatting hatred" includes things like funding for security upgrades at religious institutions, which makes sense, but it also covers handouts for groups that promote DEI and have a comically broad understanding of "hate": Egale Canada, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, etc.
Budget 2024 also boasts of new race-specific funding that was introduced by the Liberals.

Amount of Black-specific funding in...
2018: $0
2024: ~$750 million Image

Professors applying to work at Canadian universities often must give Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statements in their application packages.
In today's @nationalpost, I argue that this ideological hiring practice should be banned. 🧵

1. What is DEI?
DEI is progressive ideology, applied. It's the policy solution to (white, male, abelist, etc) privilege that is the focus of left-wing identity politics.
DEI policies "level the playing field" between identity groups, often via positive discrimination.
DEI policies have many forms: preferential hiring based on race, mandatory training, race-based grants and scholarships, courses in social justice, and identity-based celebrations.
This 2019 paper explored DEI in Canada's top 15 universities:

Paternalism and identity politics are likely themes for censorship legislation coming early 2023.

You can gather this from @CdnHeritage-led feedback sessions with (handpicked) community groups. My latest for the @nationalpost:
nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-…
The heritage department held a series of community feedback roundtables for a “online harms bill” several months ago.
The government summary of this was published recently. Apparently, participants (gov-chosen) largely agreed with censorship. canada.ca/en/canadian-he… Image
It’s a lot like the last round of expert consultations for this censorship legislation:
1) Choose those who give feedback
2) Feedback is broadly comfortable with a censorship regime
3) Tell public that online censorship legislation is popular and welcome

In the spring of 2022, Canadian Heritage conducted a public feedback survey to inform their approach to future anti-hate legislation.

That survey was tweaked to keep political dissenters from giving full feedback. Full story in the @nationalpost:
nationalpost.com/opinion/trudea…
The survey was launched March 29, 2022. It was circulated on Twitter a couple days later, here:
The survey closed on May 8, so you can't go through it anymore, unfortunately. Screenshots remain.

In mid-April, people noticed that if they answered "no" to whether they thought combatting hate should be a government priority, they couldn't answer the full survey.
