What if instead the consensus is that you can’t back your views with evidence and your views are unfounded and simplistic?

These words are now accepted in every day lexicon. Here are their meanings. Anti racism: if you are not anti racist, then you are a racist. In order to not be racist, you must be anti racist. To be anti racist, you must accept that white people have white privilege. An anti racist must recognize all non white people face systemic racism. An anti racist must go against Martin Luther King 's dream and not judge people by the contract of their character but must " see someone's colour" because otherwise you discredit their struggle and barriers they face. To be an anti racist, you must see non whites as marginalized victims, if not, you are racist. White Privilege: Any success a white person has, or any achievement they completed, is illegitimate. The white person benefited from a system designed to ensure their success. This applies to each and every white person regardless of their individual circumstances. This phenomenon exists in every system, policy, rule, in all aspects of society. There is no meritocracy. ALL White people are oppressors and all non whites are oppressed by racist whites. Health care: abortion is health care. The termination of a fetus is health care. Unborn baby murdering is health care. Typically this applies to health care for the birthing person, not the dead baby. Violence: this applies to feelings and to a difference of opinion. If someone says something that I don't agree with, this is violence. Equity: take people, divide them into groups based on a single variable, race, then take (often government) action to ensure all of the groups have the same performance outcome. If the white group outperforms another group, this is evidence of systemic racism and white privilege. If the top performing group is non white (black ) at a rate of 99%, for example, basketball, track, etc. then there is equity. If the white group is in the middle, say income earnings, then there is systemic racism and white privilege because there is only equity when white people are at the bottom. It is critical to only applying a single variable to the equity outcomes and other considerations like effort, natural skills, personality, emotional intelligence, and values NEVER be applied to an equity lens. Systemic racism: evil, invisible forces that work to keep white people at the top in Al aspects of life and to keep all non white people down. This is commonly espoused by wealthy, successful white people. It does not account for statistical evidence that demonstrably proves white people are not at the top of income earners, athletics, and do not have the lowest incarceration rates. However, these invisible forces are Clever and exist everywhere despite the highest laws in the land and Diversity Officers everywhere. Mathematics: a tool used in the systemic racist institution to maintain white privilege. Although whites statistically are not the most proficient in math, it is a means of white oppression. Mother: a mother is an antiquated notion of a birthing person. A " female" is not the only gender who can give birth. Cultural Appropriation: this is when white people demonstrate respect and admiration for traits, activities, expression for another group. For example, rapping, cooking Asian food, wearing Indigenous clothing. This is offensive and racist. White people need to see and recognize non whites as special, marginalized, and victims but CANNOT share in the activities of other groups. It is noteworthy that using electricity, driving cars, flying on airplanes, using a computer is NOT cultural appropriation. Anti Black Racism: is the scientific evidence based use of data to demonstrate systemic racism against Black people. Any disparity between black performance and white performance is evidence of anti black racism. One core element of anti black racism is to only control for a single variable, race. The effectiveness of anti black racism is to attribute any negative disparity to racism and never behavior or other factors. Anti black racism is evident by black people being disporportionately reflected in school suspensions, negative TTC interactions, negative police interactions, and incarceration rates. It is important to never compare black rates to other racial groups, only whites, as the disparity might indicate racism is not a factor. Another key factor is to only consider anti black racism when there is a negative disparity. Representation in fields in which the disparity favours black people are to be ignored and an anti racist must accept the existence of anti black racism or they are racist. White fragility: this is white people not accepting that they are evil, oppressors and their resistance to the truth. By the way, all of the above are being taught to kids every day in schools all across the country.

Yes you do. You're obviously very invested in this. He started the war and you're spending all of your energy apologizing for him and blaming everyone but him for what's going on. The fact that you've spared not a single breath criticizing the guy who started the war in your clown-world interpretation of events is a pretty clear indication of how you actually feel about all of it. What you're feeling here is cognitive dissonance. You thought Putin was a stronk leader and was going to rid the world of wokeness and bring back the macho to men. Instead, he's proven himself a delusional muppet and you're the guy trying to square it all up.

Ukraine. Finland, Croatia, Bosnia, even Ireland, there were others too. There were a lot of reasons that people with complex histories calculated that their enemy’s enemy was preferable and cooperated with Germany during WW2. To claim that they were all Nazis then is a massive oversimplification and to claim that if they were Nazis back then some 80yrs ago then they must still be Nazis now is simply idiotic. Especially since the only country that’s actually governing like a Nazi with brutal oppression and invading neighbours is Russia.

It's not a "pic", it's evidence of just how fascist our gov't actually is. Inconvenient for some ?

Charles Lindbergh was a known Nazi Sympathizer, but the Spirit of St. Louis is still in the Smithsonian.

And throughout this entire process, why is it that once babies are born there is only 3 genders (male/ female, or born with both genitals) that are produced 99.9 % of the time. According to science or medical professionals. Science has decided depending on the genitals you were born with, that is your gender. you can't just say one day I'm a fire truck and my pronouns are it and bit. or the latest fad here in NB is high school students dressing up as cats and identifying as cats, so much so that they asked the school to put in litter boxes. young adults about to hit the cruel world with 2 strikes already against them, please tell me would you hire a person dressed up as a cat.

I don't have to ask, but the person wants you to name one policy or law that we have currently have that is racist, designed benefit white people only. I say that becasue in the past there was defiantly examples of systematic racism. And perhaps we have learned from the past and have corrected those mistakes.

A particular radical ideological interpretation of social conditions, basically the Marxist Critical Race Theory of Derek Bell, infiltrated the institutions of higher learning, government, corporations, and finally elementary schools, especially since the death of George Floyd. Fascinating that we eradicated prayer and spirituality from public education and installed Marxism, except instead of workers being the virtuous oppressed, it’s now certain racial groups. Your identity is primarily determined by your race in this world view. You can be highly successful and respected, but if you’re Black you’re a victim. You can be poor, mistreated, disrespected, and even disabled, but if you’re white you are first and foremost an oppressor. It’s a sad deterministic outlook that doesn’t believe in individual initiative or freedom. What’s important is knowing how you are racialized rather than what you individually build. There are other victim intersectionalities, and this outlook pretends to claim that one’s victimhood is the sum total of intersectionalities. Point systems are now used in EDI (Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity) HR hiring policies. A gay black female Jew gets a high rating, while a white male is ranked at the bottom. Parenting, wealth, and aptitude don’t come into it. Presumably credentials for a position do (education and experience), but HR is under tremendous pressure to sacrifice merit to build representation. It doesn’t matter if the community was more white 20 years ago when these job candidates were in university, it’s all about the present. This is our reality today. Organizations are literally run by ideological tyrants known as “equity officers” or some other Orwellian trope. I’ve basically supported affirmative action in the sense of if two people are equally qualified for a position but one is from an underrepresented group, hire the underrepresented, but that’s not what’s going on. Racism in any form is wrong. Judging people by the colour of their skin rather than the content of their character is always wrong. Of course!

Lefties are cray cray.. To be anti racist one must be racist against white people

Evan Solomon is moving on to other pastures. For the past few years he has been insidiously pumping the federal Liberal party, by taking any public issues, and explaining away that whatever the Liberals are doing , if the best that can be achieved in the circumstances. At the same time he seizes with relish upon even the slightest radical pronouncement of any socially Conservative backbencher and trumpets into a) it must be party policy and representative of all. Or b) how outrageous it is that the party leader doesn't immediately throw them out of the party. Sick and tired of this Liberal shill. In case you don't know the dribble that he spouts over the airwaves (iheart / Bell talk radio network) in Toronto 9 - 11 am. is pumped out at Noon in BC. and we can't even phone it because it's not live any more. Thank goodness this JT fanboy is gone !

Dr. Peter McCullough has been banned from Twitter for holding unacceptable views on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.

Bill Ayers is probably held in very high regard among the majority of leftists. A domestic terrorist is an icon, pretty sad. It doesn't say much for Obama's judgement does it.

If you're keeping score, you're a useful idiot for the Trump vax, The Prep Act (which Trump used to protect Big Pharma), book-burning level of censorship, science-denial, discrimination, forced vaccinations, and big pharma. The people who are getting screwed by your vax-Naziism are children and the young men & women who have to cave when our fascist gov't delivers an ultimatum "vax or economic ruin". You cheer for the gov't to crush protesters who are advocating for the right to informed consent. You're the guy that 'people like you' pretend to hate the most. Do you realize that it's almost entirely conservatives who are fighting for the little guy in this scenario? Who are fighting to keep children from having to take a vax that confers no benefit to them and has harmful side-effects? How do you sleep in the same bed with yourself?

Not sorted by Mr. West although he is correct, it is sorted by the Charter of Rights and human rights legislation which systemically outlaws discrimination based on race. Name a single law in Canada that is racist that outweighs the Charter. Waiting.... Explain why Asians are 6% if incarceration rate and Korean males are Canada's highest earners and why the entire men's track and basketball team is Black. Answer... meritocracy and behavioral patterns. Myth: invisible evil forces working to oppress people.

It is a big bill, it's an omnibus bill that the Liberals used to rant about when they were in opposition. Bill C-75 makes it almost impossible to hold the people who are making these random attacks, that's why you see people arrested for these crimes and immediately put back on the street even though they have caused severe injuries to their victims. Courts are next to useless when it comes to protecting the public. The default position of the courts when a person violates conditions of release, is to just remove the condition. This just happened with a 17 year old in our town who continually violated a court imposed curfew. What does that teach a 17 year old other than he can get away with anything.

No...it makes me grounded in reality. When laws are made to satisfy less than 1% of the population, and happen to rub against my senses (IE...I see an Adam's Apple and know George is a male) then George can expect I'll call him "him" and to hell with "silly crap". Dress or no dress. Reality...its not just for breakfast anymore.

No, Trump convinced a majority of voters that he was completely unfit all by himself. All you’re doing is throwing mud. And, as always, you just throw insults out without any facts to backup what you say. Biden was VP for 8 years. He was a US Senator for decades before that. He understands US laws and how the government works and how things get done. Trump just Tweeted nonsense and threatened people. He didn’t understand laws and he continually broke them.

I'd say so. I can't think of any other policy that's overtly racist at this point. Can you?

Conversely, 30,000 Canadians volunteered to fight in Viet-Nam.

There were MANY draft dodgers from the Viet-Nam war. In BC there were numerous pop-up towns full of them.

You might want to save a copy of that horsey pic. It's being scrubbed from the interweeb searches.

The core cadre of really tall brutes in green apparently didn't speak English or French. So no sense pleading with them for mercy.

If the Democrats lose the House that will be nice, but if the Republicans take both the House and the Senate that's a big thing. Maybe America can start to get back on its feet again like it did following Obama's loss of House and Senate. House and Senate is possible too. Races that were earlier thought to be in the bag for Dems are tightening.

You supply the only level of discourse you're capable of. ?

History is pointless without context.... People be like "You mow your lawn ?!? THE NAZIS DID THAT !" Yes we arrest protestors sometimes, but that doesn't make this Stalin's USSR folks....

I would suggest that a new puritanical religion has swept into power across the entire Western world this religion takes it on faith that all Western countries are "systemically racist" to include Canada there is no sense in attempting to argue with religion thus you are engaging in a fool's errand

Renewable and sustainable forestry . . . . If you hate the BC forest industry so much, why did you choose to live in the middle of the North Coast Timber Supply Area? Life's full of choices. Apparently you've made a poor one, and typical for you and your ilk, you blame others.

Nobody's actually saying that though.

That’s exactly right. The woke religion of race is a distraction from the obstacles that the elites (black, white, male, female, etc.) put in front of the workers they exploit. What’s particularly disgusting is the way that educated leftists hide behind the most current iteration of progressive language. This is how language is often used as a tool of oppression today.

Indignant white guys demanding what evidence is there to support Canada being 'systemically racist'?

Okay. I will ask an indigenous woman to tell me how no taxes, free education, every company in Canada dreaming of having that hiring box ticked, and so many programs available about systemic racism. Name a law or policy in Canada in 2022 that is racist.

Ah, a DiAngelo fan. How woke of you. ?

Yes. I think socialism is evil, too.

Oh no. Hundreds of angry conscripts who got caught trying to run away. Your war over the NATO reject is now escalating. The stupidity is strong with you. I hope it's not genetic.

The sham election while under an illegal and brutal foreign military occupation by a force that massacres civilians doesn’t count as a peoples choice and is not recognized under international law.

? You don't need anyone here to explain it to you. If you actually wanted the evidence you'd just type "Examples of Systemic Racism" in Canada. The first thing that will pop up is the residential school system. This thread is just another place for you to rant about the "others" and about how downtrodden all us poor white people are.

I can't argue that Alberta Conservatives weren't getting complacent but any province that goes full-on NDP is going to suffer. We learned that the hard way here in Ontario with Bob Rae.

Hey, one's a job. The other is just a hobby.

The smear campaigns continue by Big Harma

The same people who say that the newspapers are in the service of Trudeau provide National Post cites.

How DARE they propose early treatment of covid!! MONSTERS!! How DARE they find ways of treating covid!!! SICKOS!!! Why can't they just accept that the ONLY WAY OUT is if every human and animal on earth gets jabbed over and over and over for the rest of their lives!! THEY ARE EVIL!!!

What right wing pundits? No such thing in Canada. They are banned by the one-party Liberal-CRTC.

If there really was a deep state Trump would have had a fatal 'heart attack/stroke/fall in his first year in office. At the very least they'd have let him die of covid.

About 100 thousand Japanese died when LeMay firebombed Tokyo with conventional weapons. It was the worst air attack during WW2. No radiation or huge shock-waves involved and the people still couldn't escape.

Liar

Ottawa residents are liberal pieces of shit

Limiting someone's freedom based on vaccination status is extortion with the intent to coerce vaccine acceptance by use of threats/force. Elaborate please?
