In an Oct. 13 article published by The Epoch Times, Michael Zwaagstra reports that a major issue in Vancouver’s upcoming public school board elections is the possible reinstatement of certain “honours courses” which were cancelled last year in the name of equity and inclusiveness. Ironically, Zwaagstra points out, such courses were the only viable options …

Canada….Sick, and proud of it!
In my hometown of Hamilton, late in 2017, Yosif Al Hasnawi was shot and killed just outside an Islamic Mosque on Main St. East by one Dale King. Both men were 19 at the time. Al Hasnawi, a university student with dreams of becoming a doctor, had apparently come to the aid of an elderly …
Another Glimmer of Hope…Tulsi Gabbard leaves the Democrats.
In what I believe was the first episode of her new podcast, Tulsi Gabbard, former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, announced this past Tuesday that she was leaving the Democratic Party. Her statement, as reported by The Blaze, was pretty much self-explanatory. “I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that’s under the complete control …

Confessions of a Male Chauvinist Pig!
While our planet is replete with landscapes of unimaginable beauty, I must admit to being a compulsive heterosexual for whom the rest of the natural world pales before the beauty of the vast majority of females. I recall reading Naomi Wolf’s “The Beauty Myth” which suggested that the Fashion Industry, motivated by a lust for …
This guy is a University Professor???
A recent episode of the Dr. Phil show devoted to the topic of Cultural Appropriation pitted wonderful Black “conservative” Amala Ekpunobi against “woke” Black Professor Neal Lester of the U. of Arizona. Lester went on at some length detailing how the appropriation by any one Identity group of the cultural practices or values of another, …

The motion, put forth …
Identity Politics is a Joke!
If you are Canadian you may not perhaps know of Kayla Lemieux, a Trans shop teacher at Oakville Trafalgar High School near Toronto who, apparently, has received relatively little press here at home while the source of both outrage and hilarity in various media outlets around the world. Born Male, now identifying as Female, Lemieux …
Mindless Sentiment vs. Rational Thought!
A Postscript to my last blog: Members of the girls’ volleyball team at Randolf Union High School in central Vermont recently complained to school authorities that they were uncomfortable sharing a washroom/dressing room with a transgender female, one born male who now identifies otherwise. As of today their complaints have fallen on deaf ears, the …
This N.Y. Times essay says it all!
On Sept. 17 The N.Y. Times published an essay by author Andrea Wulf entitled “An Old Philosophy of Oneness Can Guide Us Today.” Meant to enlighten us on the philosophical basis of Inclusiveness, it in fact reveals the absurdity of what Wulf appears to see as the answer to all our problems. Her book “Magnificent …
The Hoax of the Left’s Anti-Western Narrative
Integral to the Marxist vision of History and to variations such as Critical Race Theory, is the assumption that White Western Man, as exemplified by his many colonialist exploits, is the most malevolent force in all of history. Apparently convinced of the unassailable truth of this narrative, the brilliant Don Lemon of CNN recently interviewed …
