Thread of threads on anti-white discriminatory hiring, with special focus on Canada, put together so I can pin it because I search for it often

[Cletus Van Damme @Callicleez]

We all know what this copypasta means on Canadian job postings. The brain-fucking part isn't really the discrimination, it's the Celebration Parallax: it's not happening (you crazy), and it's Good that it is

The Southern Poverty Law Center paid someone $1.2 million to be racist on the Internet and sleep with one of their employees.
He literally did the Stonetoss meme.

Just saw Obsession and I genuinely don’t get the “horror” label. It was actually inspiring. A woman who would do anything for her man. Literally anything. She loves him, and supports him. She will never leave him. She physically CANNOT leave him actually. Green flags only. Where’s my Nikki at?

I couldn’t imagine what it must be like to have a child that acts like this. Is this gentle parenting or does he have some major issues?!

Have you ever heard of the Sikh Wars from 2000?

Art Hanger fought off 3 or 4 Khalistani temple linked challengers to his Alliance nomination in NE Calgary and won.

There were more memberships in that one riding than the rest of the country combined.

15,000 memberships in that one riding.

Art won his renomination because the different Khalistani candidates all were from different rival factions.

I get that this is satire, but its plausibility should be enough to make us all take 30 seconds and ponder just how this state not only became so insane, but remained the leading state of a major political party while doing so.

Just, you know, for a quick moment.

In most recent California elections, the count at 4AM on election night typically represents 50%-60% of the final vote total, with the remaining 40%-50% trickling in over the following weeks.

You'll never see me shit on Tucker because for every dumb thing he says he makes up for it 100 fold by having on guests to talk about subjects that no one else with a platform that big is willing to do.

He is irreplaceable.

I make a "Laurentian oppressor" joke and this guy pops up patiently explaining that it's the adult part of the country helping the savages progress toward civilization

The unspoken cause of the 2008 financial crisis: lowered lending standards to poor urban neighborhoods in exchange for regulatory approval of mergers and then passing those loans off to the GSEs

I’m taking this from a really, really good 2014 book about the politics of banking crises, “Fragile by Design,” by Charles Calomiris and Stephen Haber 🧵

I've said before that the Aboriginal title/private property debacle could come for the treaties next. Well, we just got a real example of an attempt in Alberta.

The Beaver Lake Cree Nation is currently fighting the Crown on the basis that development in their historic hunting lands infringes their right to hunt. They recently tried to amend their statement of claim in such a way that would allow for an interpretation that they did not agree to cede land under Treaty 6.

Purple = current wording of claim
Yellow = how Beaver Lake hoped to change wording of claim

They insisted to the court that they just wanted to specify that the agreement was written, but it really doesn't look like that. Alberta's lawyers saw the problem immediately: this could open the court to a fight over whether land was properly ceded under Treaty 6 at all. No treaty = no surrender of Aboriginal title = problem for private property.

The judge ultimately didn't agree to Beaver Lake's proposed wording, so the door on that fight is closed. But only for now... This judge was appointed in 2011; if it comes up again under a more progressive-minded judge, the result could be different.
