  1. A York University sociology professor, a Leslie J. Wood, has been arrested, along with other antisemites, for hate crimes and defacing an Indigo bookstore in Toronto:

    The Jew-hater won a prize for her book Direct Action, Deliberation and Diffusion, awarded by the Canadian Sociology Association. It praises “direct action” that took place during the violent G20 demonstration in Toronto.

    G&M article is under a paywall. But it is a crappy article, quoting nearly-all pro-Hamas interviewees. The only quoted source calling the Indigo affair antisemitic is from Bernie Farber. His Canada Annti-Hate Network has refused to criticize the many antisemitic acts post October 7.

    If any SDAer wants to discuss her concept of direct action further, she can be reached at ljwood@yorku.ca or at 416-736-2100 ext. 77993.

    1. “Bernie Farber. His Canada Anti-Hate Network has refused to criticize the many antisemitic acts post October 7.”

      This is the same guy who freely admits that his ‘anti-hate’ organization only investigates instances of *right wing* hate…says they don’t have enough resources or something to look into left wing hate. How convenient.

  2. The good times for the government class show no sign of ending under the Dear Leader’s reign who, of course, doesn’t care that his public servants are delivering poor quality services to Canadians:

    “Federal employees at or above the executive level were paid out over $130 million dollars in performance pay and bonuses between April 2022 and July 2023, according to a document obtained through the Access to Information law, with two public servants receiving extra payments of $83,000. Meanwhile, the exact figures for other bonuses were blacked out.

    The growing cost of these bonuses over the years is being questioned by a Canadian non-profit, however, given that the government has failed to meet many of its performance targets. ”

  3. A huge court win for free speech in Canada:

    “An Ontario judge has declared that human rights legislation “does not prohibit public discussion of anything,” in a free-speech victory for a teacher who was shut down when she raised concerns at a school board meeting about transgender-themed books in elementary school libraries.

    “What happened here should not happen in a democratic society,” Ontario Superior Court Justice James Ramsay said in the case of now-retired teacher Carolyn Burjoski.

    “The Human Rights Code does not prohibit public discussion of issues related to transgenderism or minors and transgenderism. It does not prohibit public discussion of anything.”

    Maybe they are considering her for a promotion, considering how radical education administrations have become.
