Woke is Dead Part 4

Ontario Trustee Quits Amid Investigations for Posts Critical of Gender Ideology in Schools (Epoch Times, 3/30/2024) An Ontario trustee has resigned amid several investigations of her social media posts over alleged code of conduct violations. The Durham District School Board (DDSB) said it accepted the resignation of Linda Stone on March 27. “To be the only DDSB trustee fighting for the safety of children against gender ideology, drugs, irreversible damage and then to be silenced by the other DDSB trustees would be laughable if it weren’t so bloody terrible,” Ms. Stone posted to her X account on March 11. “Can’t understand why they don’t care about these children.” A complaint noted that she attended the March for Children, “where she marched against the Board that she worked for. This march spread lies and hate against the LBGTQTS2+ communities,” according to one of the investigation reports. The March, held in Sept. 20, 2023, asked for upholding parental rights. One of the social media posts that was alleged to have violated the code was a link to a speech made at the Million Person March for Children on Sept. 20, 2023. Ms. Stone wrote, “Excellent speech” by parental rights activist Shannon Boschy in Ottawa. The speech called for advocates to eliminate “woke” school boards, according to the integrity commissioner. Ms. Stone told the commissioner that she was “exercising freedom of expression,” according to the report. “She articulates the view that people should not be prevented from expressing opinions that may differ from the opinions of others,” the commissioner wrote. However, the commissioner added, as a trustee, that freedom is not unlimited. “Her belief is that students are being harmed by ‘gender ideology’ in the school system,” the report noted, adding that “she believes her actions are repairing a ‘lack of confidence in the board by thousands of parents,’ who do not feel heard.” The investigation concluded that, despite Ms. Stone’s beliefs, the speech violated the code as she did not “inspire public confidence in the abilities and integrity of the Board” or behave “in a constructive and respectful manner.” At that time, a 55-page document laid out the complaints against Ms. Stone, including social media posts and comments she made at meetings. DDSB said at the time that it did not monitor the social media account. Wow… that’s a lot to process from this article. Here are some questions: 1) Did the March for Children really spread hate or was it focused on the rights of Parents and does focusing on Parental Rights mean you hate? It certainly does not. 2) When the commissioner says freedom is not unlimited, is this the slippery slope that allows you to limit any speech you don’t like? 3) Was she right that Parents were not being heard by the board like we see across the country? They created a 55 page document about the complaints about Ms. Stone and apparently their main problems were with her social media posts…..but … wait for it…. they said they didn’t moniter the social media account. Do you believe them? How on earth did they create a 55 page document about her social media posts if they didn’t moniter her account? Does this sound like somebody’s lying to you? Your Kid Announces They’re Trans. Now What? (Epoch Times, March 23, 2024) Dr. Miriam Grossman, author of “Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist’s Guide Out of the Madness,” helps parents navigate such delicate scenarios. It could happen on any given weeknight: While you are enjoying dinner with your family, your teenage daughter suddenly announces that she was born in the wrong body, that you have to start calling her by a male name, and that she wants to start taking cross-sex hormones. And she’s serious about it. What do you do next? “It’s very important for the parents to not react in a way that is terribly negative or terribly judgmental, even if they may be feeling at the moment that this is just madness, and this doesn’t make any sense,” advised Dr. Miriam Grossman, a psychiatrist and the author of five books. In her 2009 book “You’re Teaching My Child WHAT?” she warned parents about how sex education has evolved to promote sexual freedom and gender confusion. In her latest book from 2023, “Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist’s Guide Out of the Madness,” she wrote about the damage that the so-called “gender-affirming care” is inflicting on our youth. Your child is deeply confused and probably brainwashed. You know you must be there for him or her, to bring them back to reality. It’s important to note that gender dysphoria does exist and has been diagnosed for decades, but it’s extremely rare, occurring in adults at a rate of between 2 and 14 per 100,000 people (between 0.002 and 0.014 percent). In the case of minors, it is so rare that the information is scant and not reliable. The current wave of young people claiming they were born in the wrong body is a different phenomenon, mostly ideologically and socially constructed. The vast majority of these children are influenced by social media, their school or college, their friends, or a combination of all of the above. A study on adolescent gender dysphoria found that more than 86 percent of parents reported that their child started to identify as a different gender after binging on social media, having one or multiple friends come out as trans in quick succession, or both. The link between transgender identities and autism spectrum disorder is undeniable, Dr. Grossman wrote in her book. “People with autism often feel different, misunderstood, and isolated. Their thought patterns and non-conformity likely predispose them to recruitment.” The good news is that more and more parents are helping their children to successfully navigate gender confusion, according to Dr. Grossman’s observations. Addressing the underlying issue is equally critical. Her intention to change her body, name, and identity is a symptom that there’s something she is running away from or trying to avoid. That’s an important point: getting your child to agree to disagree. Kids are being led to believe—on social media, in “affirming” schools, by friends, and even by some therapists and doctors—that the adults in their lives, their parents and others, who do not immediately agree and go along with their “gender identity” are not being supportive. Turning your kids against you is a strategy by those trying to make a kid believe they’re Trans In the spring of 2020, January Littlejohn’s teenage daughter told her parents that she didn’t feel like a girl—before being socially “transitioned” at her Florida middle school behind her parents’ backs. She was 13. Since then, her daughter has backed out of the trans identification, and now “feels comfortable as a girl,” Ms. Littlejohn said. Now Ms. Littlejohn devotes her time to helping other parents going through similar situations. She describes what families go through when dealing with a gender-confused child as “a power struggle.” In her case, it was not only with her own daughter, but with the school as well. “They essentially sent a very clear message to her that our parental authority was no longer respected or needed. A growing number of studies and medical doctors warn about the dangers of cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and surgeries. In her book, Dr. Grossman explains in detail how the “science” behind those treatments has been debunked. She recommends parents learn about these procedures’ risks and share them with their children. Dr. Grossman dedicates a whole section of her book to explaining how critical puberty is for the development of the body and how the brain doesn’t reach full development until well into the third decade of life. Puberty is something that we want kids to go through, Dr. Grossman said. “It’s the most important developmental process that kids need to go through, outside of the development that they went through before they were born. Puberty affects every system in the body. The exposure of the brain to the hormones of puberty causes the brain over the years to mature. “When we give puberty blockers to kids ... we delay their natural puberty, that natural stage of development. We have no idea what the long-term effects will be.” Puberty is a complex process of change. Anyone who has gone through puberty and adolescence knows how confusing and frustrating these changes are. “It’s a very awkward, uncomfortable experience,” said Ms. Littlejohn, who is also a licensed mental health counselor. “But instead of being told, ‘This is normal, you’re gonna get through it. It’s going to be OK, we all felt the same,’ a lot of these kids are being told and conditioned to believe, ‘If you feel discomfort, it’s because you’re probably trans.’” The brain matures during puberty, allowing for a fully grown prefrontal cortex to rationally weigh actions and their consequences. The amygdala also develops, bringing emotional balance to the mix. It’s not surprising, then, that many kids grow out of their gender confusion after going through puberty. “​​Between 60 and 90 percent of these kids, if they go through puberty and into young adulthood, will outgrow their gender dysphoria,” Dr. Grossman said. Mrs. Littlejohn share steps to get your kids back: 1) Restrict Internet Usage - there are so many harmful things on social media 2) Spend quality time together 3) Have open conversations with your child 4) Take preventative measures - Before this issue gets into your home, you can—in Ms. Littlejohn’s words—“inoculate” your kids against the transgender ideology. Talk to them about the realities of biology—that there are only two sexes and whoever says otherwise is lying to them or deeply confused. You should also warn them about other people telling them to keep secrets from their parents so that they will instead immediately let you know about it. And similar to when you explain to them that nobody should touch their private parts, you can let them know that no adult should ask them their pronouns or talk about gender and sex with them. Those should all be red flags that your child is aware of. In more extreme cases, parents have removed their children from the school or area where they were being indoctrinated. And they moved to areas that supported parental rights. Wokeism as seen in this hilarious clip above is an attempt by the Left to turn our society upside down…. literally….. Weak is Strong, Words are Violence, Feeling matter more than Facts… and so on and so on ….. It’s time to eliminate the stupidity… this weakens any nation! Click on the video below to see how Big Pharma is attacking men in their Woke Culture! The feminization and weakening of men is one of the ploys by the Left to weaken democracies around the world, and to bring in One World Government. Title IX Rule Change on Gender Triggers Lawsuits From 15 States (Epoch Times, May 4, 2024) Republican-led states are suing the Biden administration and advising schools to ignore the new federal Title IX changes that expand sex discrimination protection to students who identify as the opposite sex, or transgender. The rule change, published on April 19, formalizes the Department of Education’s redefinition of the meaning of sex to include gender identity. The changes, which go into effect Aug. 1, give males identifying as female the right to use female restrooms, locker rooms, and join female-only organizations. Under the new rule, “harassment” can include the use of biologically accurate pronouns. This week, 15 states have filed lawsuits accusing the federal government of overreach and changing the nature of the original law. “I’m going to be really clear. President Biden deciding to rewrite Title IX is one of the most radical and illegal moves we’ve ever seen from the federal government,” Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters said at a state board meeting in April. “It’s an attack on our states. It’s an attack on our families. And it’s an attack on our young women and girls,” he said. You can be sure that the Globalists like Biden and Trudeau will try as best they can to push this radical legislation through before the next elections, possibly to even imprison their political opponents. In doing so, they could be fanning the flames of a civil war within countries! The people are not going to stand for this attack against biological women and families! And the Freedom Party of Canada does not support this in the least! A Tale of Two Teachers in Canada’s ‘Woke’ Education System (Epoch Times, 4/18/2024) A poster in a teacher’s classroom at a high school in Surrey, B.C., suggests society is too moralistic about sex work, the quote coming from an avowed Satanist. National Post writer Jamie Sarkonak described the classroom in this way: “The classroom ... is coated with social justice posters: ones that decry colonialism, ones that inflame racial politics and one that even likens prostitution to regular physical labour.” This teacher drapes herself in a pride flag and speaks openly of her pansexuality as well as her subscription to social justice and DEI. The teacher appeared on CTV in March after being roundly criticized on X by an Ottawa teacher, Chanel Pfahl, who was chased out of the profession a few years ago for questioning critical race theory. The Surrey teacher said that Pfahl “seems to be making a lot of assumptions that were simply based on misinformation, lies, and in fact, puts myself and other teachers and students and my community in danger.” She also argued she was teaching about “critical thinking” and creating “empowered citizens that can speak up for themselves.” A Canadian flag hangs forlornly in her classroom, atop it is scrawled, “No pride in genocide.” So far, she has faced no direct consequences for her political position or trying to indoctrinate her students. Indeed, she has won three teaching awards. The Surrey teacher is a better approximation of that mythically average teacher than I. Most teachers appear woke or know enough to be quiet and go along, standing for land acknowledgements, using individualized pronouns with students, speaking of gender identity and sexual orientation, distinguishing students based on race, reading social justice books over literary classics, and accepting revisionist history. They go to school wearing the right colour for the occasion: rainbow, pink, orange, red, or black. At staff meetings they are woke and quiet.

You won’t believe their demands! Ottawa Spent $9.5M on Military Diversity Programs Since 2015: Document (Epoch Times, 5/7/2024) Since November 2015, the Department of National Defence (DND) has spent over $9.5 million on consultants and contractors for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), according to documents. The figures were published in a reply to an Inquiry of Ministry filed by Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant who asked what the total value of federal contracts was relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the CAF since the Liberal Party took power in 2015, as first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter. Large portions of the money spent appears to have been directed at recruitment, which the CAF has been struggling with for some years. Other lesser expenses included $166 for transgender Pride flags, $600 to Dr. Tricia Logan of the University of British Columbia for a lecture at the Royal Military College on the history of residential schools and $1,266 to Professor Rebecca Tiessen of the University of Ottawa for a workshop on the “gendered nature of security.” WHAT IS ESG AND WHY IS IT HARMFUL TO CANADA? SEE VIDEO BELOW. (Eye on Tech, August 19, 2022) ESG Criteria - The Anti-Woke Interpretation! Environmental Energy Usage and Efficiency - They want you using as little energy as possible… stay at home, locked down, in your 15 minute city driving an electric car they can turn off if you exceed your monthly allottment of kilometres Climate Change Strategy - Don’t use fossil fuels, don’t eat meat, eat bugs, eat fake meat, don’t travel Waste Reduction - Don’t use plastic for anything including straws, utensils, bags, toys, anything…outlaw plastic… lunacy Biodivesity Loss - you all live in 15 minute cities never travelling again to the wild or outside of urban areas Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Kill all cows because they fart, eliminate fossil fuels even though it is the richness of Canada (3rd largest reserves in world), don’t eat meat, eat bugs. Carbon Footprint Reduction - See Greenhouse Gas Emissions Social Fair Pay and Living Wages - you worked all your life and went to school for years to get ahead….all erased. Everyone is equal…Communism at it’s best. Everyone gets a basic wage which bankrupts the country, promotes mediocrity and creates societal chaos, eliminating countries and bringing in One World Government. Equal Employment Opportunity - anti-white discrimination, employing people based upon race and gender and not merit, therefore you end up with the least qualified candidate for the job. Medical doctors who got 50% on their exams… is that the heart? Pilots who kind of know how to land this thing.. Employee Benefits - Anything that weakens the company to bankrupt it. Workplace Health and Safety - Words are violence, Wokeness throughout, Gender ideology. Community Engagement - Stop individual thinking… think the “Borg” in Star Trek… Resistance is Futile… no promotion of individual excellence. Responsible Supply Chain Partnerships - Choosing the most expensive way to get goods to market (while halting tankers offshore) to promote Wokeness and ESG - Gender diversity and to bankrupt countries faster Adhering to Labour Laws - Creating new laws and regulations to slow down production, delay construction and implementation. Governance Corporate Governance - Giving huge amounts of Government money to corporations like Loblaws, Costco etc when the are making billions of dollars in profit. Allowing Corporate monopolies to kill small business… huge monopolies like Blackrock, Vanguard etc. Risk Management - Creating a dictatorship so your plan to destroy the country is right on plan and has as little opposition as possible. When there is opposition, just don’t listen to it. Compliance - Creating new government bills and laws that force people to comply with your Communist agenda or be put in jail for life! Ethical Business Practices - Do everything the Globalist government wants you to do to promoter their Climate Change Hoax and Great Reset and disregard the laws as they won’t prosecute you if you’re on their side. Avoiding Conflicts of Interest - Do it the government’s way and you won’t go to jail. Accounting Integrity and Transparency - Spend billions of dollars and never show the books from the government. If they can’t see the paper trail, they can’t accuse you of corruption… well the can…they just can’t prove it. Keep deferring and delaying until they give up. The ESG strategy adopted by big business and corporations is a basic layout of many of the talking points of Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 of the United Nations. It is basically a blueprint for the beginning of the WEF’s Klaus Schwab’s “Great Reset” and is there to try to revamp nations into Communist and Globalist states on the road to One World Government and the breakup of countries! It is anathema to the existence of Canada as a nation! The Freedom Party of Canada will outlaw any ESG policies by any business or corporation, any educational institution and any government institution in Canada! How Anti-White Discrimination Became a Conservative Issue (Epoch Times, 5/9/2024) Against the backdrop of a landmark Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action, a practice intended to remedy past discrimination against black Americans that has become a persistent barrier for white and Asian Americans, conservative intellectuals have refined their case against anti-white discrimination while curbing some of the internal policing that once silenced discussion. Even former President Donald Trump is responding to the national mood. “I think there is a definite anti-white feeling in this country, and that can’t be allowed,” he said in a recent interview with Time. In June 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, super-charging the national debate on abortion. Almost exactly one year later, the court’s ruling in a case pitting Asian American applicants against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina delivered another jolt to the American system. In a 6–3 decision, the court found that the schools’ race-based affirmative action programs ran afoul of the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. “Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. Although the case was brought by students from Asian backgrounds, the results promised to change admissions expectations for white students, who have also long chafed under affirmative action standards. The same patterns emerge when looking at law school and medical school admissions—some groups need stronger credentials to make the cut. In the Students for Fair Admissions case, Harvard’s dean of admissions testified that white and Asian students had to score higher than black and Hispanic students to elicit interest from Harvard. But schools are just the start. Race-conscious practices in the workplace are also being contested. In early 2024, America First Legal, a group created by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, sued Paramount Global, CBS Entertainment, and CBS Studios over alleged discrimination against a white, heterosexual male. And legal observers are saying an April 2024 Supreme Court ruling will make it easier for employees to challenge diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision was much bigger news than another story in the summer of 2023—namely, the attempted cancellation of social scientist Richard Hanania before his book, “The Origins of Woke,” was published. A 2021 YouGov/University of Massachusetts Amherst poll found that 26 percent of Republicans and 27 percent of conservatives believe students in public middle or high schools should be taught that “any gaps between whites and blacks are caused by racism.” That is dwarfed by the 72 percent of Democrats and 80 percent of liberals endorsing such lessons. In assessing why so many blame white prejudice for every uncomfortable gap, it’s hard to ignore left-wing intellectuals’ long history of hostile rhetoric aimed at “whiteness” and white people, from Noel Ignatiev’s call for the abolition of the white race to Susan Sontag’s 1967 assertion that the white race was “the cancer of human history”—though Ms. Sontag later walked that back in an interview with Pat Buchanan. Half a century later, white liberals’ unprecedented racial self-deprecation suggests that the messages from Ms. Sontag and her many successors, both intellectual and popular, have left a mark. American whites, Mr. Carl argues, face hostility in the media, false hate crime allegations, discriminatory DEI bureaucracies, disproportionate blame for the global evil of slavery, and more—all while declining as a percentage of the population and ending their lives at a rising rate through suicides, overdoses, and other “deaths of despair. Mr. Carl defended his approach. “It’s not a politics of resentment, but a demand for justice. It’s a statement that white Americans should stop acting like battered spouses and stand up for themselves without apology,” he said. In January, with the backing of Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida’s Department of Education passed a rule outlawing DEI programs in the state’s college system. President Trump has pledged to reverse a Biden administration executive order mandating racially focused “agency equity teams” throughout the federal government. He has also vowed to cut funding to critical race theory (CRT) programs for children. The Call to Abandon ESG Is a Plea for Indigenous Prosperity (Epoch Times, 5-8-2024) If the activists behind ESG cared, they would not stand in the way of First Nation and Metis communities that wish to move from poverty to prosperity through energy projects. Initially, the three criteria to measure or value investments—environment, social, and governance—were uncontroversial. “Environment” once referred to a company’s potential for pollution or future legal liabilities. It has since morphed to focus primarily on a company’s carbon dioxide emissions, irrespective of their actual effect on climate change. “Social” used to denote a company’s relationships with people but has now come to represent the company’s stance on issues, often determined by far-left activists. “Governance” originally described a company’s internal management practices; it now emphasizes the racial and gender diversity of the company’s board of directors. In other words, ESG originated from the concept of corporate social responsibility and has evolved into “stakeholder capitalism,” a framework where businesses shift their focus from profitability and shareholder value to politically divisive and ambiguous criteria. Despite increasing resistance, indications show that ESG investing is not going away. ESG investing is increasingly popular among larger Canadian companies. In March 2023, the Business Development Bank of Canada surveyed 121 large companies and public-sector buyers, finding that 82 percent require their suppliers to disclose some ESG information. This number is anticipated to rise to 92 percent within the year. Most of the money in ESG investments comes from huge investments like pension funds, insurance companies, and endowment funds from prominent universities and foundations. In other words, big institutional investors. Unfortunately for ESG advocates, a study from April 2023 reveals that there is no conclusive proof that investments based on ESG criteria outperform non-ESG investments. Critics contend that the ESG scoring system lacks consistency and is subjective. They also point out that focusing on social and environmental factors may cause investors to neglect essential financial metrics, negatively impacting overall performance. While indigenous groups and communities have become increasingly engaged in ESG investing, particularly drawn by the potential profits from renewable energy projects, a significant issue has emerged. Indigenous organizations that have thoroughly examined ESG investing have discovered that most ESG metrics and assessments have significant flaws in their implementation. A fundamental flaw is that the environmental component of ESG often conflicts directly with the economic self-determination of indigenous energy-producing communities. The primary rationale behind ESG investing and energy divestment campaigns is that fossil fuels are the primary enemy. To these climate change alarmists, First Nations are seen as “fair-weather friends.” When indigenous communities choose to pursue energy projects that promise economic prosperity, the non-indigenous activists who champion ESG and energy divestment often withdraw their support. A notable example involved a campaign against investing in the Royal Bank of Canada because it funded the Coastal GasLink pipeline project. Divestment activists overlooked the fact that 16 of the 20 First Nations along the pipeline route held a 10 percent equity ownership stake in the project upon completion. Also, activists did not consider that all of these communities had voted in favour of the project and the associated benefit agreements. The activists’ campaign to demonize and divest from the energy sector frequently overlooks the interests of indigenous communities. To these activists, it is irrelevant that the oil and gas industry provides some of the highest-paying private sector jobs available to these communities. Just ask Crystal Smith, the elected chief councillor of the Haisla Nation in British Columbia, who has experienced significant opposition from activists during the establishment of the Cedar LNG project in her community. She has labelled these activists “eco-colonialists,” accusing them of trying to control indigenous communities in ways similar to historical colonialism by the Crown. Smith once said: “If left to climate activists, indigenous people would be the last to benefit, the last to participate, and the last to be connected to new infrastructure.” Or ask Jessica Shadian, the president of Arctic360, a group that works with indigenous development corporations, Northern governments, and the private sector to bring development to the Far North. She has observed that ESG activists have convinced investment firms to shun funding capital investments for ventures in the Arctic. According to Shadian, ESG principles have deterred critically needed infrastructure and economic development. She points out that ESG activists do not reside in the Far North, which may explain their lack of concern for the local impacts of their advocacy. ESG investing and divestment are not merely symbolic gestures like an empty land acknowledgement; they actively harm indigenous communities by depriving them of crucial opportunities. Private companies and indigenous communities need to abandon ESG altogether as it warehouses First Nations into perpetual poverty. Indigenous communities need more energy projects, not less. The Freedom Party of Canada will implement policies and laws to curtail and eliminate this weakness in our country while at the same time guaranteeing the rights and freedoms of all Canadians as seen in our Constitution. Ontario Teacher Silenced for Questioning Age-Appropriateness of School Books Looks to Civil Suit After Being Denied Appeal (Epoch Times, 5/10/2024) The Ontario Court of Appeal has denied an appeal for a judicial review in the case of an elementary school teacher whose presentation about age-appropriate books was cut short by the school board over concerns her presentation violated gender expression rights under provincial law. Carolyn Burjoski’s presentation to the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) was shut down in January 2022 when she questioned the sexual content in some books available in elementary schools. Ms. Burjoski discussed books during her presentation that she felt made it “seem simple or even cool to take puberty blockers and opposite sex hormones,” according to court documents. Board chair Scott Piatkowski previously said he stopped Ms. Burjoski’s presentation because he believed it was in violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code. Ms. Burjoski asked the courts for a judicial review of the board’s decision, saying it violated her Charter rights, including her right to free expression. Her case was denied in November 2023 and she appealed. In the November decision, the three-judge panel said that it was reasonable for Mr. Piatkowksi to stop the presentation to keep order, as defined in the school board’s bylaws. They also said that a “high degree of deference” must be given to school boards. Ms. Burjoski’s legal team received the court decision to dismiss the appeal on March 28. “To add insult to injury, the court ordered me to pay an additional $2,500 on top of the $5,000 already awarded to the board in November,” Ms. Burjoski said in a video she posted on X, formerly Twitter. “This decision not only denies me the justice I sought, but it also sets a dangerous precedent that threatens a fundamental pillar of our already weakened democracy: The right to freely express our thoughts and opinions,” she said. Ms. Burjoski noted the board’s lawyers accused her of being off-topic with her presentation. “A claim never made by chair Piatkowski during or after the board meeting,“ she said. ”Sadly, the board now regularly uses the vague accusation of being off topic as a convenient tool to suppress viewpoints it disagrees with.” The Epoch Times contacted the school board for comment but did not hear back by publication time. “Silencing me was a direct violation of my right to free expression and a disturbing display of authoritarian speech suppression by the school board,” Ms. Burjoski said in the video. She said the loss of the appeal made winning her civil case more important. “While we have lost this battle at the Ontario Court of Appeal, our fight is far from over,” she said. “The outcome of this case highlights the critical importance of winning my ongoing civil defamation lawsuit.” Defamation Case Ms. Burjoski has filed a separate defamation lawsuit against Mr. Piatkowski and the board. In media interviews after the presentation was stopped, Mr. Piatkowski said that Ms. Burjoski’s comments were “transphobic.” The school board filed a motion in September 2023 asking for the lawsuit’s dismissal. Ontario Superior Court Justice James Ramsay ruled against the board Nov. 23, allowing Ms. Burjoski to move forward with her lawsuit. Justice Ramsay said in his decision the Human Rights Code “does not prohibit public discussion of anything” and that the comments made by Mr. Piatkowski were defamatory. “The actions and comments made by the board and its former chair, following my expulsion have not only damaged my reputation and health, it has also represented a broader threat to free speech,” Ms. Burjoski said in the video. “We must not be intimidated to voice our opinions. Winning this lawsuit is now more crucial than ever to set a precedent that protects freedom of expression for all Canadians.” It is obvious that the system Justin Trudeau has set in place is trying it’s best to “stonewall” Ms. Burjoski and her case. This is Trudeau’s Woke Canada… a far cry from the “Glorious and Free” Canada declared in our national anthem! The Freedom Party of Canada will bring us back to the days where we let kids be kids and where parent’s opinions mattered! UNC-Chapel Hill Board Unanimously Ends DEI Programs, Moves $2.3M To Police (Red Voice Media, May 13, 2024) At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a major reallocation of funds is reshaping the campus landscape. The Board of Trustees has unanimously decided to transfer $2.3 million from diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to bolster public safety and enhance the capabilities of campus police. This decision follows recent anti-Israel demonstrations at the university, highlighting a broader shift toward prioritizing campus security over DEI initiatives. This move comes amidst a backdrop of nationwide debates over the funding and impact of DEI programs in higher education. Similar decisions are being observed at other institutions, reflecting a trend where university budgets are being scrutinized and shifted in response to immediate campus needs and political pressures. HOW THE FREEDOM PARTY OF CANADA WILL ELIMINATE WOKEISM: 1) The Canadian National Anthem will reinstitute the words “In all thy son’s command” and eliminate the words “In all of us command”(which isn’t even proper grammar… think Trudeau’s “peoplekind”). We will create a law whereby the national anthem in the future may only be amended by a referendum of the Canadian people and whereby in that referendum there must be a 100% majority voting for the new changes. Anyone applying for this change must first send the government a $1 million dollar non refundable fee to apply to change the national anthem. 2) We will create a law that says that personal legal names cannot be changed in any institution unless officially legally changed within the law. So called personal pronouns will not be relevant and will not be required to anyone to use. 3) There will be a Freedom of Speech Law created which will not only guarantee you the right to say anything you want, no matter how hateful anyone thinks it is (hate is in the eye of the beholder… no one can define hate). All hate laws will be banned and will undertake the same requirements as the national anthem… a referendum requiring 100% of the Canadian people to ratify and a $1 million dollar fee. 4) There will be new vandalism laws put in place whereby if you are involved in vandalism of any kind (including being a member of a crowd who vandalizes even if you don’t vandalize - guilty by association), you will be subject to 10 years in prison or must join the Canadian Armed Forces for 10 years. 5) We will require all Canadians under the age of 40 to serve at least 1 year in the Canadian Armed Forces. A military of 80,000 people to serve the 2nd largest country in the world is a joke perpetrated by previous incompetent federal governments. Our military will be equipped with the latest equipment (tanks, ships, planes etc.) and not 30 to 40 year old outdated equipment that would put all our forces in peril. Any Canadian who has graduated high school and has not within 3 months enrolled in college or university will serve 2 years service with the military. And college or university graduate will upon graduation serve 1 year in the military. All who serve will have the opportunity to make the military a career. Those who drop out of high school will be after the age of 16 enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces and will have to go to school in the forces. All members of gangs will be split up and automatically enrolled for 10 years in the Canadian Armed Forces. 6) Any teacher found grooming children based upon gender identity (asking boys if they are girls or girls if they are boys or telling them they can be) will be stripped of their teaching licenses and enrolled for 10 years in the Canadian military. 7) No group will be able to have a celebratory period officially given to them in public or in any educational instutition exceeding more than 1 day. So based upon race, religion, sexual orientation, culture or any other metric, you or your group may not have more than one day out of the year for public celebrations. This means no “****** week”, no “****** month” etc. for whatever group you’re associated with. Some groups are trying to force their agendas upon the public with these celebratory periods. No more. 8) All roadways and sidewalks will be kept in the same colours year round and may not be altered at any time. Municipalities and provinces may use regular black asphalt or regular uncoloured concrete for roadways or sidewalks. They may not be painted or coloured in any way in any other colour or groups of colours. This also goes for any other roads including gravel roads. 9) No government buildings (municipal, provincial, federal) will fly any flag except the Canadian Flag, the Provincial Flag or an official Municipal Flag. 10) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) will be eliminated entirely and replaced with Unity and Meritocracy. Trudeau’s divisive “diversity” campaigns are a failure. Equity is really used as a word for racial inequality as reverse racism is practiced to give equality of outcomes and not choosing the best people for the jobs. Inclusion is really a very racist, exclusionary policy that focuses on excluding white males. These policies will become a thing of the past! No longer will we promote mediocrity but we will promote excellence and raise our national standards in all areas! 11) ESG policies will be outlawed in Canada.
