Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Learn more about anti-Semitism and islamaphobia………how will these human rights superheroes react when they find out that in many cases the Muslims are a just a wee bit anti-Semitic?
Did you hear about Ben and Jerry’s leaving Israel in a woke moment?
Hell, even the Jews are anti-Semitic. That is one thing in life that has always confused me, why are Jews suicidal as a group? They have returned to their country after thousands of years and yet there are factions among them that hate their own success. Now many are communists/socialists so some is understandable, they hate freedom. But most Jews that I have known , and I have known many and worked for a couple over my lifetime, the people I knew would never surrender their lives or freedom to the fools who now govern the State of Israel.
Anti-racism means anti-white.
Thus anti racism is racism against whites.
and this can be easily demonstrated, not that leftists ever care about fact and logic but it can be demonstrated and proven easily.
Exactly right.
Another Ministry of Silly-walks “against racism” from a government that administers the largest sacrosanct apartheid program on the planet.
Are you speaking of the need to speak French and English to get a federal government job? It’s rare for newcomers to speak both.
No, the Indians. Legally they’re second-class citizens (Wards of the Crown) but they’ve cleverly transformed themselves into a privileged class.
And your government REALLY SUCK at their jobs if racism has become any of your concerns.
Now fuck off with this nonsense and get some real work done asshole.
Racism, Racism, Racism!!!
Good Lord! The array of bizarre “Ministers” you have in Canada is simultaneously laughable and scary as hell.
Its painful. This is what happens when Liberals win. You’ll be at this point soon enough with that crowd in Washington.
Its how party leaders reward their loyal parliamentary caucus members, they create Ministries right out of Monty Python absurdities but sound good to the Eloi. It’s a tradition that transcends political parties. The mindless love it but it really is just a sick joke. The reality is that in Canada we could do very well without 90% of what the federal government does as the provinces are responsible for most big ticket items (health care, education, resources). We could do much better by privatizing most all of it.
Kenji, just look at the levels of government and how many have taxing power in the entire US. CA is a sad example, NY is damn near as bad. There is nothing that can be done that does not have the thumb print of government on it, NOTHING, just like Canada, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Hell, there are no innocents today in government.
Printed money is being wasted on this bit of disingenuous pandering.
When do we find out that this “secretariat” used slave labour or secretly hates Jews? When, then, will she be assigned another cushy cabinet position?
She’s from a Sikh background so probably no more anti-Jewish than the average Liberal MP, which is to say she’s likely only a little prejudiced against Jews. That may worsen as the anti-Israel movement ramps up around the world. Why most Jews persist in voting Liberal in Canada and Democrat in the US is a mystery.
Anyway, her father heard about Canada’s systemic racism in the 1970’s and came here from the Punjab to dedicate his life to fighting against this hideous evil. She was born in Ontario but is following in his footsteps.
Just kidding. He came here because as a Sikh he felt discriminated against in India. Also, it was a 3rd world country with people starving to death on the streets of its cities and untold millions living in abject poverty. Canada offered economic opportunities most Indians could never dream of. Now yet another opportunity has arisen, this time for his daughter. As an “oppressed person of color” she’s taking advantage of the anti-racist mania that is sweeping the nation. It’s promoted by elite white people — in politics, the media, academia, major corporations, etc. — who think this will somehow benefit them, as well as make them the noble allies of the abused minorities. This may not end well.
Stand back and watch.
It could get ugly before it’s swept under the rug.
Is “member of the Government” a race?
If so, then you’ve got me. I’m a dirty racist.
Racism is built right into the Canadian Charter…..it’s called the amelioration clause. After all, is there ever a time in history when government itself was the driver of racism? Never mind.
Our Brown minister doesn’t sound first generation.
Shouldn’t these ‘racialised’ posts be reserved for FOB brown women.
The head shot shows a broad toothsome smile. Unsurprisingly!
And don’t you just chuckle every time you hear a gubmint spox say, Be Safe.
I sent an email with ‘defund your worthless Secretariat’.
Doubt I’ll get a response.
So all forms of Racism, or just the ones that aren’t government approved?
/we all know the answer to that
I thought Secretariat was a horse…
In this case, it still is, but not the entire animal…..
Shame on you horrible Canadians that your government feels the need for such a position.
Step back and ponder this.
You miserable racist shits.
I know what you mean. As a Canadian it’s almost too painful for me to ponder. Our ancestors were such genocidal monsters we’ll need to pay in perpetuity for their crimes against humanity. Not only that, as you say, we’re still such a systemically racist hellhole we need a whole government “secretariat” dedicated to fighting our racism. Sadly, Canada prevents its oppressed minorities from ever leaving this living hell. No exit visas are issued and the border is closely guarded to prevent their escape.
No wait. They come here from all over the world, many of them illegally. Some even risk their lives to get here. They must be nuts.
Can anyone explain why I would want to be a racist?
What’s in it for me?
Am I missing out on something by not being racist?
Good point Stan!
The government of Canada is establishing racism as the primary objective of the ruling class.
It is in fact they that spread plague of racism.
The offices related, those are the racists and you can patent that, to it are just preemptive action.
‘Secretariat’ is terminology from the communist era of the Soviet Union and its vassal states.
And therein lies the problem. It is this diversity, inclusiveness, and equity that is causing the racist meme to flourish here in Canada. Nothing like this existed before this current Peter Pan became PM. Nothing. Leave well enough alone.
One helluva lotta women hate white men and most of those women are white.
Feminism + multiculturalism produces systemic racism and genocide.
They passionately hate all those men who risked/still risk much building the infrastructure of a safe and modern society.
If I could I’d organize a week long-strike and shut EVERYTHING down.
I’ve just received an ‘invitation’ to a struggle session from my suddenly ‘woke’ professional association. The invitation is shown in full, below my response. I’d like any feedback regarding what SDA reader’s think is going on with people suddenly adding gender identifiers to their names as they subtly brow-beat us into their world of insanity.

Hello ****;
I trust you have been privy to the series of e-mails I have written to our Board members regarding the politicization of our professional organization. After many months of inquiry and correspondence, I have yet to receive a response from the Board.
Now I see the original “We support BLM’ declaration being followed up with a new, ‘woke’ PPOC sucking it’s members into the vortex of racism, “institutional oppression” and CRT training. I’m still awaiting a response from the Board regarding the publication of support for BLM, advising them that if this be the path they wish to take the Professional Photographers of Canada – and I don’t recall any plebiscite or polling of the membership in this regard – I must follow my conscience and revoke/return my Honorable Life Membership as well as my Master’s and Craftsmen plaques.
I have been a proud member of PPOC and the Professional Photographers of British Columbia for 37 years and it saddens me to see us change from a professional organization designed to serve professional photographers (and their clients) through artistic and business improvement, into just another virtue signaling, sanctimonious quasi-political organization.
As I asked the Board, have we as an organization ever received complaints against members who have treated their clients or the public in any way that can be construed as racist or oppressive? If not, are we all to bear the collective guilt of our forbearers through meaningless declarations or race-hustling seminars by purveyors of race, class and social division?
Frankly *****, the ‘course description’ outlined below contains some of the most fatuous, cliched and nonsensical buzz words I have heard in some time and PPOC needs to think seriously about whether we have lost our way. I would suggest that our membership should be canvassed about the issue rather than the Board in it’s wisdom, deciding that we are all incipient racists who require education to understand our inherent and deplorable racist tendencies.
I regret having to write this missive but all of this ‘movement’ is by design divisive, corrosive and alienating to most rational, reasonable people who do not accept we are a society of oppressors and the oppressed.
Sincerely
