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...

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

a lot of parents are now telling me that their teenagers' social media feeds, especially TikTok, have started to shift 180 degrees on genderwang. the once-revered (bio-male) trans "influencers" & athletes are becoming figures of ridicule. pendulum seems to be swinging back hard Teenagers aren't dumb, but they do move in herds. The genderwang stuff was fun when it felt vaguely transgressive and daring. Now that they hear their dinosaur teachers and parents mumbling pronoun checks (not to mention the Bud Light & Hershey's fiascos), it's time to move on

I've been struck by this too. Most Canadians are sensible. But then u find surreal college-town clusters of wealthy white paranoiacs convinced they all have long covid & that we inhabit a white supremacist genocide state (whose sins must be expiated by baby-jesus drag queens)... Since these people don't leave campus or their homes to mix with commoners (shopping is done online, & they often work from home), they've been left to create a bizarrely cultish sub-society that exists, in electronic form, in a way that's completely detached from real life....

This story gets weirder...That @uOttawa prof (and "queer legal historian") who claimed today that RBC bank employees started randomly taunting him homophobically and then threatening his life (because yeah, that always happens at the bank).... He's a former RBC employee Image He also worked for desjardins and... Surprise, surprise.... Claims to keep witnessing racism at desjardins ! ImageImage

The claim that staff at a Canadian bank told one of their customers they were going to "take him out" "with their own hands" seems extremely doubtful. ImageImage Yes this all definitely happened Image

Insurrection alert ! Can't wait for the government to freeze the union members' bank accounts.... then when labor supporters raise money for the strikers, @TorontoStar will do a big splash on the doxxed donor list. Stay tuned. Big show coming up folks.

hey, speaking of pampered lifestyles, the Mexican resort I stayed at earlier this month was full of Canadians. That included a guy who became my tennis partner, who's a child psychiatrist here in Canada. Naturally, I had some questions for him about current trends among kids ... like everyone else, he worries about all the kids (girls mostly) showing up claiming they're trans. But interestingly, that wasn't his main concern... bcuz he says they usually age out of the gender stuff once they find something that interests them besides their own ennui ...

It's been almost two years since we were told that hundreds, or perhaps even thousands, of unmarked graves have been discovered across the country. In that time, precisely zero graves have been identified. Now an @NDP MP wants to make it illegal for anyone to point this fact out. The contention is that GPR-detected anomalies signal the remains of children murdered in cold blood, or hastily & secretively buried after expiring of neglect. It's an extraordinary claim that, in any other context, wd immediately be investigated. But in two years... nothing ....

"Two Spirit Studies"
Last year, an Ontario teachers union wrote up a document purporting to instruct its members what two spirit actually means. They admitted they had no idea, except to such extent you have to be indigenous & "anti colonial" to qualify...
quillette.com/blog/2022/10/0… best thing about this job is that any claim about what "two spirit" means is unfalsifiable. Read this EFTO report: Two Spirit means gay, or not gay, trans, or not trans, or none, or all. You're not allowed to ask. Whoever gets this job can study their navel until they get tenure Image

This @Kendall_Hanson @CHEK_News interview is beyond belief. The gym has a co-ed section, but this person specifically demands entrance to the woman's-only section because that would make them prove their belief that they're dealing with a "real woman" cheknews.ca/transgender-wo… Kendall presents this as news, not as satire, despite its eerie resemblance to Emily Howard's efforts to use the ladies' pool in Little Britain ...

Good job. If there's one thing that's guaranteed to successfully goad Canadians into trusting the CBC again, it's a panel discussion at a university Breaking: Brooklyn-based CBC President mutes Canada

In 2019 I was sued for libel by a director of @antihateca. He claimed @BarbaraRKay & I linked CAHN to "violent antifa.” Judgment released today: Claim dismissed. Judge: (1) CAHN *does* assist antifa; (2) CAHN director has used courts to stifle detractors (tho failed in this case) Litigating this to conclusion was expensive & time-consuming. But I felt it was important bcuz @antihateca was a govt-grant recipient (same "anti-racism" program used to cash out Laith Marouf); and, as trial approached, bcuz of CAHN's role spreading fake news during the convoy…

The University of Toronto is holding some kind of "radical" breathing festival, but apparently you have to be (1) non-white *and* (2) trans(ish) to get in. I have no idea what half of this even means, but apparently it's needed because of all the "violence and erasure" at @UofT Also, can anyone explain why being black is just "black," while the other races are lumped into a kitchen-sink passive verb category called "racialized"? For symmetry, shouldn't it be "blackified"?

Well this is interesting: After posting this doc to its web site just a few days ago, @tdsb abruptly yanked it, on the claim that … it isn't "compliant" with regulations. (The link to the "non-compliant" version doesn't work.)

Fortunately, I downloaded the whole thing yesterday What's more, even the main census page has been scrubbed. That site now not only gives the same "compliance" based explanation for scrubbing the doc, but also asks for employee credentials ....

with remarkable candour, the @tdsb has announced that its 2022 census will be an explicitly political instrument aimed at advancing "Quantitative Critical Race Theory," "Disrupt[ing] All Structures of Oppression," & a laundry list of similar slogans...
tdsb.on.ca/Portals/resear… grade 4+ students will be asked to do the census in *class*. The census text hasn't been released to parents, and we've seen census questions from other Ontario school boards asking elementary students about sexual preferences & esoteric gender labels...

so I'm driving back from New Haven, and I'm looking to break up the drive with a little disc golf. I load up UDisc and it tells me I'm right near a course in Beacon, NY that's located in an *abandoned children's summer camp*... no way I can pass that up, rite?... as i gather my discs to play, some old guy sweeping the 1st tee pad tells me the camp closed 20 years ago under..."unusual" circs. Tells me he was a "surviving counselor who'd glimpsed the blah blah blah...." wow, what a whack job. No time to talk, grandpa... it's almost sundown

my law school reunion in New Haven has featured a lot of "panel discussions." But I didn't come here to watch CSPAN, so instead I hit the @PEZCandyUSA museum in nearby Orange, CT.

I learned a lot about PEZ.... PEZ comes from the German word meaning peppermint. It was conceived in austria as a replacement for smoking, and was marketed at adults. The timeline tells me that a factory was built in Czecholslovakia in 1935 and then, uh, yatta yatta yatta, some stuff happened and it's 1948...
