Classical liberal values. Former high school teacher. I expose woke indoctrination in Canadian schools (see highlights).

Dr. @jordanbpeterson 's advice to students: "Read great books":

@FrancesWiddows1 Here is the link to her 1993 testimony …erche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Recor… Her mother said her experience was positive, and she testified "Personally, my own experience at residential school was positive" Goes on to talk about rankings etc... well my school organized desks in that manner ffs

I debated on responding to this. But it is an issue that will continue to come up - so it’s probably worth taking the time to comment. First, and most obviously - this persons perspective is not appropriate, not respectful, and I do not condone this type of rhetoric. With all due respect, I’ll ask people to remember that these aren’t intellectuals advocating for the pursuit of truth that you’re highlighting and posting about. Brittany, Frances, and others - were in the pursuing truth and advocating for the debate of ideas in a free country. That’s not where this lady is coming from. I’m not excusing her behaviour but I do hope explaining it helps us find common ground. I ask with great humility that you put yourself in her shoes. This lady was likely abused. When she hears denialism, a word plagued with poor definitions, I’m certain that she believes that Frances is denying the abuse she went through, and the abuse her friends and family went through. I’ve interviewed @FrancesWiddows1 and I know that’s not what she’s denying. She is not denying this lady’s individual experiences. So, similar to a domestic violence victim, or a person who’s experienced trauma - when she hears someone’s denying her worldview and experience - she wishes them harm. That doesn’t make that statement okay, and again no matter what this rhetoric isn’t good. When hearing from people with lived experiences, I propose we walk lightly and ask for respectful dialogue from them.


Former Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu rises for the first time as a Liberal during Question Period to a standing ovation.


Good to see the media holding Prime Minister Poilievre to account. Democracy dies in darkness.
