Nobody puts Phil in a corner.


I still don't understand why Oppo with Justin Ling and Gerson was a thing - they'd discuss a topic, Gerson would stay firmly on the conservative line, no matter how many times Justin would point out fallacies and how ludicrous that line was and it would end with Justin sighing and saying "okay"

My favorite Canadaland thing was the "I am the secret Public Servant" series that lasted a whole 2 articles wherein the first article is this hot teaser of all the salacious inner workings of public office, and the second article decrying how bilingualism requirements limit prime candidacy within government (and not pay, respect, overall effectiveness, fulfillment etc etc)

After getting absolutely shredded - the public servant apparently hasn't been back to write a third article

(Also now the site plays podcast audio ads automatically with no media controls anywhere on the site? what the gently caress is this, myspace?)

the Backbench has also turned out to be pretty pointless. it's just lib brains regurgitating "common sense" framing of political issues to each other. I like Syed as a climate journalist, but drat that show sucks.

If you want to learn more about Ukrainian nationalism in Canada, I strongly recommend a recent essay by Per Anders Rudling on the ways that Canada's far right Ukrainian diaspora tries to police history with the support of all our major political parties. It's included in this open-access publication, pages 42-60.

I was gonna say he was really good in Wild Indian but I've never seen Twilight and Chaske Spencer wasn't the main werewolf dude like I thought.

Really, I just want an excuse to say that Wild Indian is a very good movie. I looked at the reviews because it has a really weird spread of people saying it's either very good or bad, and it became super obvious that the split is due to people who just have no idea about the history and impacts of cultural genocide and assimilation.

Really fascinating article. I knew the Toronto Banderites went after Rudling back in 2012 but apparently they went after him again in 2020. And then got some Swede fascist to carry on the attack.

there's a lot of stuff I didn't know

quote:

Multicultural Funding
A pioneer of normative multiculturalism, in 2021 Canada celebrated the semi-centennial of multiculturalism. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (b. 1971) argued that the policy, introduced by his father half a century earlier, “continues to give vitality to Canadian society, reflect its multicultural reality, and inspire people and countries around the world.” The Canadian multiculturalist movement was initiated by Ukrainian nationalists, by far the most active group in the pursuit of multiculturalism. The Ukrainian lobby in Canada remains one of the most powerful in that country.

It is organized as an umbrella organization, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, UCC, established in 1940. The LUC has been a member of the UCC since 1959.53 In the past two decades, OUN(b) front organizations have asserted themselves as an increasingly dominant force within the UCC – through which it has direct channels to the top leadership of all major Canadian political parties. Since its introduction in 1971, Canadian normative multiculturalism has been a boon to the LUC and other OUN(b) front organizations, which have obtained substantial funding from the Canadian government. Multicultural funding co-financed, among other things, construction of the Roman Shukhevych Youth Unity Complex in Edmonton. The funding is ongoing.55 The Government of Canada currently funds 19 UCC programs, amounting to CAD 1,082,500.83.56

look, heil hitler is just a fun thing that germans say to eachother. it's sort of cute. it's really been stripped of its historical connotations because the intentions of the people who use it nowadays are pure. it's just like aloha, a friendly greeting that warms your heart and lets you know you're among friends. another good reason to say heil hitler is to tell people "relax! have a good time!"
