Two-tiered justice in Canada which specifically requires considering the effects of colonization on criminals has had the effect of a pattern of leniency toward indigenous men who kill their indigenous female partners. This is an absurdity and an obscenity and one instance of the general pattern that corrupting the law to favor a specific racial group typically inflicts harm onto that group.
The proposed remedy is to make two-tiered justice only apply to instances where indigenous people perpetrated against whites -- another absurdity and obscenity entirely consistent with the intentions of the system in the first place.
The proposal should be equal justice before the law and there should not be a split over it. The very existence of any other proposal is a terminal indictment of the legal system.

"Then there is perhaps the greatest threat that the [BC Human Rights Tribunal] poses, which is to our free expression.
Who wants to risk sharing a heterodox opinion, or engaging in any kind free-spirited debate, in public or in private, knowing that it could result in one's financial or reputational destruction?
This is an intolerable situation that is not befitting of a democratic society."

This is an interesting thread, because he makes the motte and bailey explicit in a way they're not usually careless enough to do.
No one denies that the residential schools were rough, that the kids who went there were probably kind of sad, and that some of them died, due to contagious disease mostly. That's all very unfortunate but doesn't amount to much more than "kids get homesick at boarding school, discipline back then was often severe by modern standards, and medicine was primitive especially in remote areas." This is the motte and it isn't all that impactful because none of it is all that different from conditions that white kids lived through at the time, particularly in remote areas.
But it was very specifically the claim of mass graves due to deliberate genocide that supercharged this issue back in 2021, with the implication that the residential schools were actually a cover for a policy of systematic extermination. At least I assume this is the charge, as they keep saying "genocide" and that's what genocide is commonly understood to mean. This is the bailey.
The problem is that there is no evidence for mass graves. The few times that they've been investigated no bodies were found. At the Kamloops site they deliberately refuse to even dig, which strikes people as suspicious. So people ask questions. It's only natural to want something more concrete than "because I said so" when you're being accused of genocide.
So they then retreat to the motte of "well things were hard in the schools", and okay, yes, they were, but that isn't genocide. But the implication is that anyone asking for evidence in support of the genocide claim - anyone attacking the bailey - is engaging in "denialism" that the schools even existed or that conditions in the schools were often not ideal. Which literally no one does.
This entire debate comes down to one question. Is the Canadian government guilty of a deliberate, systematic policy of genocide? Did it set out to exterminate the First Nations via the mass murder of their children? That's it, that's the issue, that's what we're fighting about.
And there's a very high bar of evidence for proving something like that. At a minimum, you need a whole lot of bones.
Got any bones out in that bailey?

My thoughts on SOGI:
Gender identity is a politically-crafted concept that was embedded into Canadian law without a coherent definition and without anyone understanding the far-reaching consequences.
There is no evidence to support the existence of gender identities. The concept is unfalsifiable and lacking any objective measures or empirical tests.
It is dangerous to teach impressionable children that pseudoscientific political concepts are established scientific facts.
Teaching children and adolescents that they possess a gender identity and it is that which determines whether they are boys or girls sows confusion during a crucial stage of identity development.
The most vulnerable will misinterpret their gender-nonconformity or the normal struggles of growing up as a sign they possess a mismatched gender identity. This leads some confused youth to the wrong conclusion that they are transgender.
Then, also because of SOGI in our schools, teachers affirm this confusion and allow a change of name and pronouns, sometimes, criminally, without parental consent or knowledge.
When the transgender identity has solidified in the young person’s mind as a result of this culture of affirmation and celebration, the next step is the gender clinic, where doctors who have lost their moral and ethical compass perform drastic and irreversible medical interventions that have no scientific justification or grounding in evidence.
It is a catastrophic safeguarding failure that this political ideology was ever allowed in our schools. Protecting children means removing every last remnant of it from our education systems.

This is a cheap ploy to use empathy to avoid the actual issue.
Police also work hard in difficult conditions,but we still hold them accountable for their actions and insist that policing policy is impartial and aligns with the public interest.
Let's dispense with the strawmans: we won't tolerate bullying. We won't tolerate homophobia. We won't tolerate racism.
But we reject the idea that schools (including ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS) are a place where educators need to discuss and celebrate sexual identities. The reasons are so obvious it's hard to comprehend that it needs to be discussed.
And the insistence on teaching kids that everyone has an ethereal "gender identity" which might require medical alteration of their body if it doesn't match their sex... it's bonkers. For the people who still don't get it: "trans kids" are overwhelmingly gay or proto gay, autistic, victims of trauma and abuse, or have psychiatric issues. They are often hurting, confused, feel like they don't fit in, and are looking for answers. And people like you offer them an answer: their brain doesn't match their body. But don't worry, we can stunt your growth with chemical castration and modify your body with cross sex hormones and surgery, so you can be your true self. It's the literal opposite of 'love yourself'.
And you are free to believe these bonkers things. But you don't get to teach it to our kids.
I'm an atheist. I'm glad our society made a decision to remove Christianity from public schools. Christians accepted this, but the bargain was always that the schools would remain secular. What you have done is create a new quasi-religious belief system, which you insist doesn't even exist, and snuck it onto schools through the backdoor.
We want schools to be safe, welcoming, and inclusive places. Your argument seems to be that the only way to have that is to give up our impartial, secular school system, and accept your activism and propaganda as the price of inclusion. We reject your argument and the false premise it's based on.
If you want to be an activist, preach your religion, and try to remake the world in the image of your vision, have at it. And if you want to be an educator, and give children the skills they need to be successful and responsibility citizens, that's great. But you can't do both. Choose.

I’m increasingly convinced that the political divide isn’t really left versus right.
It’s between people who will follow their tribe wherever it goes and people willing to stop occasionally and say: hang on, this doesn’t make sense.

This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works:
1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance.
2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely.
According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits.
The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024.
Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025.
And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well.
What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)?
3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself.
It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one.
4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?

Wow…Roland Fryer and @BillAckman have created a $1 million prize for academic truth-telling, the Carob Trust Prize for Academic Courage.
“The prize awards $1 million each to as many as five social scientists a year who have demonstrated intellectual independence, published findings that were attacked rather than answered, and been validated by the evidence—despite the professional cost. The selection criteria are designed to distinguish courage from contrarianism: Nominees must show a sustained commitment to following logic and evidence regardless of pressure, a willingness to ask questions others avoid, and work that has shifted academic debate, public discourse or policy—often despite being misread, mischaracterized or vilified at the time of publication.”

I think the spell has completely broken. The word “far-right” has lost its sting as a moral tripwire and everyone is seeing through the ruse.
Scroll the comments under any piece about AfD’s result in Saxony-Anhalt and you can see it immediately.
In 2016, the label “far-right” still worked. People panicked and acted accordingly.
In 2026 they either no longer believe it or laugh in its face. The replies are blunt:
“not far-right, just right”
“this is what a 90s liberal believed”
“wanting a border isn’t far-right”
This is the inevitable result of the mainstream media stretching the label “far-right” until it covered any opinion to the right of Lenin. Once a term is used on sensible opinions on border control, energy policy, crime statistics and school admissions, it just becomes noise and people start resenting the attempts at manipulation. Gay race communism became the only position that was ok to hold.
Well.. the people hate what their countries have become. They don’t believe the media anymore and the term “far-right” has completely lost its moral weight.
Which will be a problem the day that a true need to deploy it arises… but until then.

The fact that I was suspended from my son’s school council was public. What I am revealing now is, before the board suspended me, I had already spent months under a confidential human-rights investigation over for objecting to the same thing - the boards lack of legal authority to impose a land acknowledgement at school council meetings. And was cleared...
It's a story about what happens when a body meant to help hold the education system accountable to parents was instead used to hold a parent accountable to the education system. 🙃
I was right the whole time. It took two investigations, a suspension, and almost two years before the board acknowledged it.
And many thanks to @C2CJournal for working with me to tell this whole absurd story properly.

The end result of this type of police behaviour is to create a chilling effect on free speech. If the party in question has committed crimes, they should be charged. At this moment, it appears that is not the case. @HamiltonPolice are using their authority to police political views and protect against hurt feelings, which sets a dangerous precedent. The Free Speech Union of Canada strongly condemns this overreach.
Hamilton Police are aware the Dominion Club of Canada continues to seek an alternate Hamilton venue for its DomCon conference on Aug 29. Anyone with information about a recent venue booking in #HamOnt is asked to contact police at 905-546-4707. Read More: hamiltonpolice.on.ca/news/do…

Don't let Cambridge University, and all Universities and corporations who promote disastrous DEI, off the hook.
Their behavior is abhorrent. They should not have told Mr Arday that he's "the best in the world" when they knew very well he was NOT. He was a DEI hire from a poly.
Lisa Bildy retweeted
I see and feel deep sadness and even horror of the news of death of Jason Arday. His memory should be honored by serious reflection on the system that created his impossible position: having to occupy a uniform/disguise created for him by white elites who used him as a political prop for the own propitiatory political indulgence. DEI is disgusting, degrading, inhumane, and institutionally condescending ideology that is rooted in lies. It kills, mostly psychologically but sometimes physically. This horrible turn of events should end it.

I testified at the Senate yesterday on the "Combatting Hate" Bill, which impacts expressive rights. I also listened to every other panel discussion on this Bill, which was very illuminating and quite disturbing.
Canada is on a precipice.
We are a country of atomized groups simultaneously jockeying to be seen as the most oppressed, while also wielding considerable power as sacralized identities to push for restrictions on the expression of others — not just "hate", but also offence, dissent, and even opposing facts.
Having listened to many of the other speeches before I prepared mine, I took the opportunity to speak against criminalizing "denialism". That would be a terrible path for Canada to take — even worse than the one we're already on.
Criminal law cannot manufacture harmony (generously assuming that is what the activists want); only open debate and dialogue can.
