  1. “He came under fire for saying multiculturalism is a scam, denying the wage gap between men and women, and dismissing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a vehicle for “endless apologies and compensation.””

    Fired for the truth. He missed the global warming scam. The University is going to have to cough up all the documents relating to their investigation whether they know it or not.

    1. Yup, discovery is a wonderful thing, the proverbial kicking over of stones and seeing what scurries out.

    2. While this mis-adventure may go to court, the prof will not win in court, nor will any incriminating docs be produced in court, nor will any of this nonsense in court be reported to the masses. This will; however, set the necessary precedent to remove the last of the conservative minds from universities across canada, the left will think they have won.

      However, in reality when less than 1 in 10 profs are conservative, this isn’t really a victory for them. Conservative thought is already dead on campus, there is nothing left to kill.

      In reality, if the left succeeds in setting this precedent for removing tenured profs it is they who will eventually suffer from it. The pendulum will swing back and when it does all those leftists bastards who think they are safe with their tenure will have it come right back and kick them in the ass. We need a way to get rid of these jackboots, why not use the tools they are dumb enough to give us. This isn’t going to happen next year, but we will something in the next 5-10 years, once there has been enough pain from the lack of new students.

  2. “Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a vehicle for “endless apologies and compensation” Yes! it was an attempt to frame the First Nations as an United Nations protected class….Only the original Tribes, who no longer exist in the legal context, would be considered Aboriginal, NOT Metis. or new Tribes… It was fraud on Fraud for endless compensation…..

    1. That was interesting marc. Yeah, he looks like a real jack-booted, goose-stepping, Hitler-worshipping raving Nazi storm trooper alright /sarc. Good for him not stepping back from the insistence on legal representation. I hope he insists that all proceedings be recorded or be in public. Cockroaches can’t stand the light of day.

  5. If censoring inquisitors had to pony up legal fees for their torts, they might not be so brave.

    Why should the taxpayer cover one cent of their intemperance and power tripping?

  6. “Last month, he said in an email that the only way he could have a copy of the investigation report by MacKay was by signing an agreement, which he called a “gag order.”

    If this is true, while I’m not a lawyer, I expect this would be good evidence of wrongful dismissal. Good luck Dr. Mehta.

  7. I sympathize with Professor Mehta, of course, taking on the liberal establishment at Acadia university. I am a conservative-minded professor at a Maritime unversity, and like Prof. Mehta I belong to the Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship. Mehta has written a number of short articles for SAFS’s newsletter. Conservative professors of course always live under the threat of bullying attacks from above and below. During my 34 year career I have had five letters or emails of complaint against my conservative writing or posts. For one of the complaints, I had to have union representation to “discuss” a complaint with an acting dean. All of the complaints came from leftists from out of province.

    Having said all that, I think that professors (and perhaps others, like journalists) have to learn to tread carefully. Mehta is like the infantry colonel leading his regiment in an attack, in the American Civil War, on a white horse and waving a sword. He was invariably shot first. Staying with the civil war analogy, conservatives today are like the South back then, vastly out-numbered and out-gunned. The South wasted men early on in useless infantry attacks, and only belatedly learned to to dig trenches and fight effective defence (and to undertake hit-and-run guerilla tactics) during the latter part of the war.

    Conservatives are at their best when they play good defence, and in undertaking a guerrilla war. We are vastly outnumbered and out-organized. The left has the numbers to pick off conservatives one by one. In Mehta’s case, we tweeted one-liners (whether true or not). He may or may have not been off-topic in class, wasting students’ time. I have learned to be circumspect in public utterences (after all professors like others are responsible for their statements). When I was teaching, I was straight as an arrow during class time, but developed a rule that said I would cut the last class short, at the end of the week, here we had informal discussions for those who wanted to stay. Steven Galloway at UBC was fired, where he was attacked by feminists. But he had an affair with a student. Professors in my opinion should not have affairs with students.

    I concede that both Jordan Peterson and Tom Flanagan both faced possible firings, but have been able to stave of dismissal given their high academic stature. (Flanagan was let go by the CBC and the Globe and Mail as a commentator, and wrote a book, “Persona non Grata”, a book which ultimately refuted the leftist attacks against him) . I could go on, but conservatives have to pick and choose their targets, to win, and to keep on fighting.

    1. One of my sisters-in-law has taught at a college in Ontario for many years and like you, is conservative minded, and like you is extremely careful what she says, to who, and when. She never expresses her views on social media.

  8. These days no contrary opinion, even if backed up by sound argument and facts, is allowed by the cultural Marxists to disturb their hegemony over all the major institutions. Slowly contrarians are being weeded out. Maolings rule in our universities. The good professor is fortunate that he is not being forced to work in the fields spreading manure.

    Good luck to Dr. Mehta. May he have grounds to take legal action.

    1. I agree. His firing is so disheartening. I will keep up with what the Society of Academic Freedom will be doing to help him out. They will be doing some tangible organizing work, and I will pass any info along to SDA readers.

  9. Nothing new here.

    Back in the 80’s Western went after Professors Philip Rushton and to a lesser extent Dave Ankney for their views on topics the university felt uncomfortable with. Western did its damnedest to fire Rushton.

  10. Here’s a little known option for reasonably minded young Canadians that want to attend university but want to avoid the SJW craziness.

    My son is attending Royal Military College in Kingston. Although the occasional ‘diversity is our strength’ BS type lecture is unavoidable, the SJW/PC Culture has made a wide berth around the College. According to my son, the vast, vast majority of students(Officer Cadets) are ‘traditional’ minded kids with strong small ‘c’ conservative values and ideals.

    Behind closed doors, Trudeau is openly mocked, and they see the half-wit for what he really is….I would suggest that RMC is one of the very few colleges where the Conservative vote would be in the large majority from Staff and Students alike.,

    ,

    2. Makes one wonder how many of those officer cadets would care to be the last to die for political correctness if President Trump decides he’s had enough of having a Chinese satellite state on his doorstep.

    3. I’m thinking back to the 1970s? and RMC. I don’t remember the details but an engineering? student student who had completed his program was denied his degree and booted from the military because he complained about something in private. I don’t know the eventual resolution of that situation. I do remember being taught in basic training that a strength of the Canadian military was the right to complain which I found humourous, given the way they handled that poor bugger.

    4. Been there, done that. While the leftist stupidity does not run as deep at RMC, it is still there nonetheless. Various diversity training course, sensitvity training, etc is always in the curriculum and RMC is not the bastion of manly virtue necessary to defend a country it once was. Don’t get me wrong, it certainly isn’t CUNY either, but to rise to CWC or any other of the higher positions requires spewing the mantra. Make sure you son doesn’t start to believe the shit he will have to say to make it to the top.

      1. Of course all the mandatory brain washing lectures exist, however, the kids there seem smart enough to see through the BS.

        For example, the ‘Operation Honour’ campaign was shortened to ‘Op Honour’, with the pronunciation of Hop-On-Her….

        My kid is right of Attilla-The-Hun, but is smart enough to parrot, 1984 style, the required mantra….most of his classmates seem to be of a similar mindset.

  11. “On Twitter, he retweeted a post that said it is “statistically impossible for all Native children to have had a negative experience with residential schools.””

    It depends on what those kids want to remember and what they are taught to remember.

    Tom Roberts used to be on CBC Sask Morning Edition. I remember shortly before his retirement he talked a bit about his time in residential school. He said overall and for most of the students it had been good. He added that in his life he was able to continue on with many great opportunities that were only possible because of rez school.

    Now I read he’s been the PR person for a group of people on a commemorative walk to remember how much grief the school caused them. I don’t criticize him for this … people can remember what they want to about life.

    2. Before all Indians bought into the Residential School narrative as a matter of racial pride, you used to hear a lot of positive comment from students, particularly women. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, talk radio was full of positive comments. A lot of the complaints, largely from males, had to do with discipline including physical discipline which was common in all schools back when I was a kid.

      As to sexual abuse. In Catholic schools, that was hardly a racial thing. Rogue priests liked white boys equally as well. Adding to the sexual abuse stories was the fact that claiming being buggered at school got the claimant $250,000, without the necessity of a shred of evidence aside from testimony. Give me $250,000 and I will claim to have been buggered by the 1966 Saskatchewan Roughriders while bent over the Grey Cup.
