Some People Are "Special"

They sure are!

Entirely without self-awareness or consideration of anyone else, they foist their inflated sense of importance and undeserved sense of entitlement onto others. 

To wit:

Muslim groups yesterday in a report proposed regulation of parliamentary “disinformation” against Arab Canadians. Amira Elghawaby, cabinet’s $191,000-a year Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia, said immediate action was required: “How would that work?” 

 

These money-grabbing snowflakes: 

(Sidebar: the original article is in French. The segment below is a translation. Any emphasis is mine.) 

For the year 2024, Ms. Elghawaby has indeed requested $54,459.77 to cover the costs of 31 trips, mainly to attend seminars and conferences on issues related to Islamophobia. A sign that this amount is high, it exceeds the sums claimed during the same period by the CEO of the Alto high-speed train project, the spender Martin Imbleau ($47,114). In fact, even Canada's ambassador to the United Nations, Bob Rae, has requested less in travel expenses in 2024 ($54,236).

Canadians rate religious extremism a greater threat to public order than neo-Nazis, says in-house research by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. It follows numerous anti-Semitic street protests and the 2023 assassination of a Sikh nationalist in Surrey, B.C.: “Overall six in ten, 57 percent, feel Canada is more dangerous.”

 

Let us have the intestinal fortitude to call things as they truly are. 

The Christian churches burned to the ground -

- are not examples of fictional neo-Nazi bogey-men or Christian fanaticism.

Only a moron would think that.

Traffic is stopped in the streets by the same set who beat a Jewish man in front of his children or shoot at elementary schools or even hassle students in Ontario. 

Air India 182 was taken down by the set who believe in their fictional Wakandan Khalistan so much so that they hide in Canada over it.

In short, we know damn who and what the problem is but won't say it.

Post-modern Western fatalism embraces the absurd idea that having political multiculturalism while attacking its Judeo-Christian roots is what will build a fair and functioning society.

How is that working out? 

 

 

 

  

 

Moving on ...

 

To be clear, no Canadian has property rights and handing over a huge swath of the land is not only a dangerous precedent but self-defeating, too:

On Monday, members of the Cowichan Nation praised elders and those who have gone before them as they celebrated victory in a years-long legal fight to reclaim land on the Fraser River used by their ancestors as a summer home in what is now the Metro Vancouver municipality of Richmond, B.C.

The trial had lasted 513 days, resulting in a ruling last week that is almost 280,000 words long.

Justice Barbara Young ruled that the Crown’s grants of private property ownership rights over the lands “unjustifiably infringe” on Cowichan Aboriginal title, and need to be negotiated, while titles and interests in the lands held by Canada and Richmond were “defective and invalid.” 

But it soon became clear the conflict is not over, when B.C.’s Attorney General Niki Sharma promised to appeal the landmark decision that she said could have “significant unintended consequences” over private property rights in the province.

“We disagree strongly with the decision. British Columbia will be filing an appeal and seeking a stay to pause implementation until the appeal is resolved,” she said Monday, hours after a Cowichan news conference.

Sharma said the government preferred resolving land claim issues through reconciliation rather than risking “considerable uncertainty” through the courts.

“Our government is committed to protecting and upholding private property rights while advancing the very important and critical work of reconciliation here in this province,” Sharma said.

 

But we don't have them and no activist court in the court will reverse this stupid decision. 

 

 

Science and grammar don't care how you feel:

And all this legal brouhaha is because the Saskatchewan government — quite sensibly — believes that schools shouldn’t be in the business of allowing young children to impulsively change their pronouns without telling their parents.

In 2023, the Saskatchewan government agreed on a policy that teachers and schools must get written consent from parents before using the preferred pronoun of a student under 16.

Premier Scott Moe said at the time that the policy was about “the rights of a parent to ensure they are involved in their child’s decision.”

When a non-profit group called the UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity at the University of Regina launched a court challenge over the policy, the government put the pronoun policy into law and coupled it with the notwithstanding clause.

 

No one asked a special-interest group that targets children for any of this.

But here we are.
