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."

Sarcasm from the Bee?
She GOT her bloody job because of racism.
“Racism” is what got her the job.
Art & Sean, that’s correct. Her legacy will be a (properly) footnoted entry in Harvard history.
No I think it will be the standard moving forward until the west collapses unfortunately.
Perhaps Barack and Michael will get her a movie consultant job at Netflix?
It could work.
Urkel already has the acting chops and showbiz experience from his childhood series.
Thank God. For me it’s because no one will have a reason to put her ugly mug on a web page anymore.
RedPop:
The old cliche “you can’t judge a book by its cover” is correct a lot of the time but wrong perhaps even more of the time. Before your comment I was mulling over the mystery of how anyone can look at that owlish puss with the big black glasses and think of her as a scholar.
Another thing I’m mulling over at the moment is that the massive number of fake university “studies” courses is perhaps due to this reverse racism: folks who just don’t have the knowledge or skill to teach real scholarly subjects.
is she becoming a hairdresser?? asking for a fiend ,me
Even fiends can benefit from good haircare.
She gets to keep her job on the Harvard faculty.
No doubt with an attractive settlement, an NDA and a significant raise all covered by student tuitions
A proponent of DEI gets exposed proving its repugnancy. She will now land another DEI gig at another captured institution and carry on vandalizing western civilization.
YES! And with even higher pay.
Yes indeed. Its a case of all government officials of failing upward.
proabably will happen
Money talks. Something else walks. Must have been a lot of donors who started redirecting their donations.
One suspects a few calls from people who Actually Matter were received. Such as possibly the Emir of Qatar, telling them to knock it off because it was making him look bad.
I would have taken that call on the bat-phone.
Of course, she did. It’s all she’s got.
“frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.”
I’m sure she was subjected to attacks of this sort — the internet is a brutal place — but it would have been far classier not to play the victim.
Killer unDORK
Yah, I git it, truth can be brutal, so you libtards call it “racism”
Note that it was the conservative media who did the heavy lifting against Claudine Gay, particularly with the plagarism discoveries.
l was about to interject ‘2 down 1 to go’, buuuuuut there’s a helluvalot more than
just one left (pun intended) to go.
When yer that stupid, CNN bound?
She is not leaving Harvard. She is returning to her tenured professorship there, where she will teach her students about the necessity of DEI and that all whites are racist.
This is a link to her resignation letter:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/02/business/harvard-president-claudine-gay-has-resigned-read-her-resignation-letter/index.html
“As I now return to the faculty, and to the scholarship and teaching that are the lifeblood of what we do, I pledge to continue working alongside you to build the community we all deserve.”
I have to wonder; did she steal the resignation text from someone else?! Now that would be ironic!!!
She is such a hypocrite! Three quotes from this letter that I found astoundingly disconnected:
“Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor—two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am—and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.”
She just called all of her critics bigots and racists!
“These last weeks have helped make clear the work we need to do to build that future—to combat bias and hate in all its forms, to create a learning environment in which we respect each other’s dignity and treat one another with compassion, and to affirm our enduring commitment to open inquiry and free expression in the pursuit of truth.”
These are wonderful ideals that we can all get behind. Unfortunately, her actions speaks much louder than her words. She’s done nothing to implement these ideals that she speaks so proudly of. Instead, she practiced the complete opposite of what she is lecturing us about.
“When I became president, I considered myself particularly blessed by the opportunity to serve people from around the world who saw in my presidency a vision of Harvard that affirmed their sense of belonging—their sense that Harvard welcomes people of talent and promise, from every background imaginable, to learn from and grow with one another.”
Really? Did she included white people or Jews among the “people of talent and promise, from every background imaginable?” Again, the disconnect is atmospheric. Her hypocrisy is off the charts.
These quotes alone should have gotten her fired. Never mind her alleged plagiarism.
Liberal leftism is a mental disorder. This letter is further proof.
Having black skin is like having a teflon coating, Not much sticks to ya.
(sorry if I sound racist)
Well, she is right. Her racism towards Jewish people cause her to resign.
When asked “whether calls for the genocide of Jews constituted harassment under university policy” if she said yes, this would have not happened.
She should move to South Africa.
She’d fit right in.
I wonder who she cribbed her resignation letter from.
The victim card has how she got hired. Hardly surprising that she’d wave it around after getting canned.
Meanwhile, ‘racism’? Is she contending that folks of her melanin count are more likely to be plagiarists? That seems pretty racist to me.
Claudine Gay Gives Tearful Resignation Speech Entitled ‘Gettysburg Address’ 🙂
https://babylonbee.com/news/claudine-gay-gives-tearful-resignation-speech-entitled-gettysburg-address
If you’re not white or a woman or gay or trans then you’ve observed in recent years that you can get away with pretty much anything, no matter how atrocious your behavior. Let’s hope these New Rules stick for the long term!
“Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor—two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am—and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.”
Failed to confront hate
engaged in plagerism
no evidence provided that it was “fueled” by racial animus
A fact free diatribe taking no responsibility for how she got there, sounds about right…
Geez! How is Harvard is ever going to find a peoplekind to fill those climbing boots? (eye roll)
A unsavory character who GOT the job because she was black.. Left wing dominated identity politics is going to be the end of us.. And by us, I mean all of us..
I totally agree racism is the reason for her resignation, her lie by omission being it’s her racism that’s the cause.
“As I now return to the faculty, and to the scholarship and teaching that are the lifeblood of blah,blah,blah.”
.
How is it that this bald headed, lying cheating,dishonest,corrupt and corrupted negress gets to return to “Academia”???
Now do Dr. Jill Biden … whose dissertation appeared to have been written by a 5th grader
Then, it’s probably her original work.
Is Claudine keeping the “PhD” ?
The only thing that Jezebel ever earned was a VD.
Good riddance.
With two stars of victimhood you would think it was enough to save her.
* not being white
* not being a man
Something wrong.
Could it be an act of real people?
Heh:

I don’t know much about the other scholars whose work she plagiarized, but she definitely lifted a fair bit of content from Dr Carole Swain who is also black. But then, I’ve noticed that – when immigrants are taken advantage of here in Canada – it’s most often by those of their culture who have immigrated earlier.
