The Tables Are Not Diverse!

I thought I would post this story as a great example of a short-circuited thought process. The cultural wrecking ball is swinging full force these days.

“This is a very personal issue for me,” said Anand, who is the first person of colour to hold the federal government’s purse strings as Treasury Board president.

“I still walk into rooms and look at tables that are not diverse.”

Case in point: in February, Anand walked into a briefing regarding mental-health counselling for Black public-service workers.

There were no Black employees in the room, she said.

“I said to the individuals briefing me: ‘Why aren’t there any Black individuals facing me?’ This is not acceptable.”

MikesMoneyTalks.ca- So painfully full of it. Right now in BC the NDP is sending cancer patients to private clinics in Washington State. Numeorus NDP cabinet ministers have used the private Cambie Street Surgery Centre, which was established at the urging of the NDP in order to allow union workers to avoid the public system wait lists.

As an MP you join federal prisoners, military RCMP in using private clinics – as did former CAW head Buzz Hargrove to get knee surgery in a week in a private clinic while the average Cdn waits over a year in the public system. 17,032 patients died waiting for diagnostic scans and surgery in 2022-23 – but not one connected politician. They don’t wait b/c they use private clinics.

Your ideology is dangerous to Cdns health.

Follow up.

Telegraph- How Canada’s energy experiment backfired – and why smart meter Britain is next

Ross Anderson, Professor of Security Engineering at the University of Cambridge, said that Ontario’s system proved to be a “mad idea” that failed to change behaviour en masse.

“People were not prepared to change their electricity consumption to save a few pence. This was always a mad idea that was never ever going to work. People just didn’t care and it didn’t move the needle at all,” he said.

Revolutionary Justice

If I had a dime for every time I found something “hard to listen to” I’d be a billionaire. That said, Mao’s Little Red Guards were out in full force in Dauphin when, God forbid, a school trustee expressed his opinions on the residential school system. I’m sure the anti-racism struggle session that followed his remarks must have been a real treat.

A school trustee in western Manitoba is facing calls to resign, and the province says it’s launching a review, after a presentation in which he made comments decried as hateful, including questioning the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on residential schools.

The trustee also said reference to white privilege is a “racist comment” because groups shouldn’t be labelled based on the colour of their skin, and argued acronyms such as BIPOC and LGBTQ are “degrading.”

Globe and Mail- Changes to capital-gains tax may prompt doctors to quit, CMA warns

This is important for physicians because most operate their practices as small businesses through medical professional corporations, which leaves them more sensitive to changes in capital-gains rules than a salaried worker might be.
The CMA estimated in 2017 that 66 per cent of physicians practised through corporations.

Photographic Memories

If these kind of bizarre claims had been made on nearly any other subject, or by a less favored racial group, one would expect them to be dismissed until at least a shred of evidence turned up. But any demand for evidence, it seems, is merely evidence of a colonialist mindset.

A Haida elder and residential school survivor is leading a proposed class action lawsuit against the Catholic Church and one of its priests over what she alleges are “false and deeply hurtful” denialist comments.

Jones said she recalls being placed in a boxcar to look after Indigenous babies, who were all “crying really hard.” While at the school, Jones says she remembers witnessing the deaths or disappearances of other children, something that continues to haunt her.

Jones said she was given the task of looking after babies who were tied up in iron cribs, who she remembers were “all of the sudden” gone one day.

The Perils Of Progressive Parenting

As a new, supposedly more equitable tradition – at least outside of the Spanish-speaking world – it seems scarcely less prone to complication and trade-offs. When hyphenated offspring come to name their own children – and if they follow the same rules as their hyphenated parents – the whole thing rapidly becomes unworkable, and, at risk of causing offence, names will have to be cut. Lest each child sound like a law firm.

Though I suppose one could take it as a kind of unintended symbolism, a measure of modern progressivism. In that, the problem it allegedly addresses doesn’t seem to be much of a problem for most of those it supposedly oppresses, and the solution offered is somewhat short-sighted and soon results in something close to absurdity.

On marriage, surnames, and the looming hyphenation crisis.

A Catch-all Diagnosis

Climate Cult Quackery Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 32 Comments

If you thought malpractice was rife during the pandemic, just wait until the next emergency.

A B.C. doctor has captured the world’s attention by likely being the first physician to diagnose a patient with “climate change.”

Nelson-based Dr. Kyle Merritt gave the controversial diagnosis over the summer, saying the symptoms a patient in her 70s was seeing all tied back to one thing.

Those effects included heatstroke, dehydration and breathing issues. As he treated the patient, he started thinking about underlying issues. He ultimately diagnosed her with climate change.

A review of Paul Johnson’s “Modern Times”.

Much of what we have learned turns out to be myths. What explains the rise of rightist fascism, and how does it differ from leftist communism? According to Paul Johnson, there isn’t much difference at all, and the reason for its rise in Europe was the genuine shock, by the general population as well as by the Left itself, over the disastrous results of Lenin’s communist revolution in Russia, as much on an economic level as on a humane level. To counter the ruin and the atrocities of international socialism, the Left in Europe invented and turned to national socialism.
