Wokeness Is Next to Foolishness

It's the new mantra:

Segueing from those who see imaginary Nazis under every bed to those who need a refresher course on the horrible things that real Nazis actually did, we shift our attention to the Conseil scolaire catholique Providence, a body that oversees French schools in southwestern Ontario. On September 7, Radio Canada reported that the school board had held a not-at-all creepy-sounding “flame purification” ceremony, in which 30 children’s books deemed racist were publicly immolated, with the ashes used to fertilize a tree (in a bid to “bury the ashes of racism”). The outcry was intense, and the school board admitted that the whole 1930s-style book-bonfire thing had been a mistake. But the scandal re-awakened anew later in September when a follow-up Radio-Canada investigation concluded that the self-described “Indigenous knowledge keeper” who’d helped conceive the pyro-stunt — Suzy Kies, then a co-chair of the Liberal Party’s Indigenous Peoples’ Commission — was a boring old white person who traced her heritage to France and Luxembourg. Kies got turfed by the Liberals. But she still has her side gig making Indigenous-themed beaded earrings, which are, as of this writing, still for sale on the Art Gallery of Ontario web site for $150 a pop.

 

Being "indigenous" is so lucrative!

The League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, has announced it will stop using the controversial gender-neutral term “Latinx” in its official communications.

 

Did you hear that, white liberals? Let the Latin fellows name themselves.

Have a super happy fun merry Christmas, Mass of Christ, birth of Jesus, beer in the afternoon with Our Lord Day!:

The Federal Court has removed references to Christmas from its proceedings calendar.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, staff opted for the more “inclusive” option: “seasonal recess.” 

“Given that litigants before the Courts do not all celebrate Christmas an amendment is required to change references to the Court’s ‘Christmas recess’ to the more inclusive ‘seasonal recess,” a legal notice claims. 

The request to have the holiday reference changed was put through on April 9, 2020, but administrators have not divulged who was responsible.

 

You're a foul one, Supreme Court of Canada.
