Disgraced former #UBC prof Amie Wolf, who is accused of having falsely identified as Indigenous, is now lashing out at us.

Like many, we were initially very sympathetic to Wolf's story & shared it here on this platform in addition to reaching out to her privately. 1/6 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

Today, SAB honors the memory of Charanpal Gill, a @UBC alumnus (BSW, MSW) and legendary community organizer who passed away last week.

He was 84.

1/7 Born in Hong Kong and raised in India, Charan already had an MA in Punjabi when he moved to BC in 1967 and found employment at a sawmill.

Thirteen years later, he co-founded the Canadian Farmworkers Union (CFU). 2/7

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

#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.
