I don't know why people argue with me over George Floyd. There are maybe like 12 people who know more about this case than me and none of them are academics or leftist.

- It took 17 minutes for EMS to go 2 blocks because they went to the wrong address.

- Chauvin called EMS 30 seconds into Floyds Arrest.

- Floyd is seen on Camera consuming pills

- Chauvin was trained in the technique he used and it was retroactively made illegal and prior training was hidden from the jury

- The medical examiner admitted if this happened at Georges home with no police, it was an OD

- EMS didn't hook George up to Oxygen when put in the ambulance. They forgot to hook the tubing to the O2 tanks

- Floyd still had a faint heartbeat when he reached the hospital despite all of this

On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 800 (overwhelmingly “white heterosexual”) men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment went over the top.

68 answered roll call the next morning.

Now their male descendants can’t work at NL’s only university which was named in their honour.

The IOC policy on protection of the women's category strikes at the root of gender ideology. It clearly states that sex is binary and distinct from gender identity. Saying this can expose you to legal sanctions in Canada.

It is hilarious that back in 2004 or so, when I found out Beck was a Scientologist, I was like “fuck, that sucks” and now when someone mentions that fact, it’s like “hmm, well I guess there’s some hope that he’s not a ridiculous progressive dittohead”

Why is the political party that imposed a decade of economic stagnation, rising crime, spiking housing costs, dysfunction in the healthcare system, overt anti-white discrimination in hiring, a two-tier criminal justice system, the largest wave of mass immigration in the world, and the largest decline in happiness in the world on Canada more popular than ever before?

We have to admit it’s at least a *little* funny that Ozempic’s obliteration of the body positivity movement means that fat people really thought it’d be easier to rewrite all of society’s concepts of beauty and health standards than to exercise and eat in moderation.

[Nick Osmond-Jones 🇨🇦 @Nick_Decap]

This is the ultimate gaslighting. Force everyone to participate in a political ritual. Tell them it's deeply meanful and leads to reconciliation. Call anyone who objects racist. In the court, argue (successful) that reconciliation means taking ownership of private property. And now say critics are overreacting, land acknowledgements are meaningless, and to "chillax". Honestly fuck these guys.

[Jonathan Kay @jonkay]

if you’re wondering why a generation of Canadian academics has been encouraged to identify as “gender fluid” or “non-binary,” completely meaningless terms that are basically astrological signs for upper middle class neurotics, it’s because it’s the only way they can get a job

[Gay Interrupted @TwinkTheory]

Every once in a while, primarily here on Twitter, I encounter a comment or tweet that makes me realize some millennials are stuck in a perpetual 2016. Like the final Japanese soldier that kept fighting the war decades after ww2 ended, they exist in this alternate reality where you must denounce any sign of what they perceive as “wrongthink” and people can be simply sorted in a “good” or “bad” category. Baby brained, but sadly this relatively small group is extremely loud and their chokehold on the culture will take years to undo. Oddly, as much as they talk about fascism, their tendencies are the most fascistic.

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

To any future historians reading this, this era will make a lot more sense if you remember that every name is the opposite of what it really is. The antifascists are fascists, the antiracists are racists, the fact-checkers are propagandists, etc. Hopefully this has been fixed by your time.

The Canadian justice system has made an overt, explicit choice to destroy any pretense of its impartiality

[Wesley Yang @wesyang]

Only a few politicians in the whole of Canada have spoken up after one of the most brazen assaults on free speech in Canadian history by a human rights tribunal that levied a $750K fine on a former school trustee for criticizing the state mandated religion that falsely claims that anyone can change sex.

The cowardice of the Canadian political class that remains inert in the face of such a brazen assault on a core right is at once outrageous, breathtaking, and entirely expected.

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

Canadians overall are nasty people. Very passive aggressive.

[Viva Frei @thevivafrei]

This is not fiction. It is Canada:

A recent Tribunal ruling out of British Columbia, Canada, ordered Barry Neufeld (a school-board trustee from 2017–2022), to pay $750,000 in damages for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect to the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association and a class of its LGBTQ-identifying members for statements he made criticizing
"Transgender" ideology / transgenderism.

This is what the Tribunal actually wrote.

You will not believe your eyes.

"If a person elects not to “believe” that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not “believe” in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial"

"A person does not need to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is Christian. However, to accept that a person is transgender, one must accept that their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth."

"People can and do decide that they were assigned the incorrect gender at birth."

"Calling transness “gender ideology” allows anti-trans activists to hide behind a veneer of reasonableness. It allows them to say, as Mr. Neufeld did in his statements as well as at the hearing of this complaint, that they are not attacking human beings. They are simply opposing a set of ideas. But behind this insidious veneer is the proposition that transness is not real. Such phrasing can make it easier to ignore that trans people are human beings. Referring to “gender ideology” or “transgenderism” – “-ism” denoting a belief or ideology such as capitalism or communism – pushes the idea that trans people have an agenda rather than being just another demographic group. As this decision illustrates, such terms can create the conditions for discrimination and hatred to flourish."

Unreal.

But reality in Canada.

‘I was briefed.’

What is this?

Are libs going to pretend for the next 4 years that Mamdani is the mini-President head of a shadow government?

He’s a failed rapper whose job it now is to make sure that people don’t get set on fire on the subway, a responsibility already way above his pay grade.

He should rarely (if ever) be opining on foreign policy and he should be focusing on the complex technocratic work that is likely to be well beyond his capacity.

[Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke]

The Hunter Biden laptop cover up stands as the most brazen and the most successful cover up in modern history. The morning the New York Post published the story, any sane observer would have assumed Joe Biden was finished. There in plain sight was more than anyone could ever need, a sprawling archive of Biden family corruption and smoking gun evidence that Joe Biden had lied about all of it. It was a once in a century jackpot of opposition research.

Yet as the following days made painfully clear, none of it mattered. The media, the establishment and the intelligence services moved in perfect coordination to recast the entire scandal as a Russian plot, even though every one of them knew the laptop was real. The result was that Joe Biden and his autopen army of left wing activists were given four uninterrupted years to wreak havoc from the most powerful office in the world.

It remains astonishing that it happened, and even more astonishing that no one has faced any consequences.

[Alan Smith @AlanJLSmith]

Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.

The fifth would pay £1.

The sixth would pay £3.

The seventh would pay £7.

The eighth would pay £12.

The ninth would pay £18.

And the tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.　

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every week and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until, one day, the owner caused them a little problem.

“Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your weekly beer by £20.”

Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes.

So the first four men were unaffected.

They would still drink for free but what about the other six men?

The paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33, but if they subtracted that from everybody’s share then not only would the first four men still be drinking for free but the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.　

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fairer to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage.

They decided to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so, the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (a 100% saving).

The sixth man now paid £2 instead of £3 (a 33% saving).

The seventh man now paid £5 instead of £7 (a 28% saving).

The eighth man now paid £9 instead of £12 (a 25% saving).

The ninth man now paid £14 instead of £18 (a 22% saving).

And the tenth man now paid £49 instead of £59 (a 16% saving).　

Each of the last six was better off than before with the first four continuing to drink for free.　

But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got £1 out of the £20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got £10!“　

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a £1 too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”　

“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get £10 back, when I only got £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”　

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.　

The next week the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him.

But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important – they didn’t have enough money between all of them to pay for even half of the bill!　

And that’s how it works.

Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.　

For those who understand, no explanation is needed.

For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
