The reality of mass immigration

Scraped from "Temporary Foreign Workers In Canada Have Skyrocketed Over The Past Decade, According To StatsCan" on Blazing Cat Fur, 29/10/23. BCF's opinion "Another scam run by corporate interests to flood the country with cheap labour and benefit their bottom line." Walt agrees. Hold the line!

Say it ain't so, Buffy! CBC outs beloved Pretendian

2017, the 150th anniversary of Confederation, was made over by Blackie McBlackface, the Gliberal Prime Minister of all Canuckistan, into the Year of the Indian. It was time for guilty whites to acknowledge that they (or their "colonial" ancestors) stole the Great White North from the peoples who used to be called Indians and Eskimos, forever hence to be known as First Nations;and Inuit, respectively.

Canada's shrinking populaation of whites tried to give the land back to the indigenous ones, but they said they'd rather have money (prefereably US dollars), thank you. So "land acknowledgment ceremonies" became the order of the day, a Confiteor to be repeated at the beginning of any public event and even on radio and TV programmes such as Hockey Night in Canada (the only show that anyone watches).

Six years later, the "truth and reconciliation" bullshit goes on and on. But today the CBC (Canada's state-owned broadcaster) is set to reveal the real truth -- not the same as the fake truth which it normally broadcasts -- about one First Nations person who has become an icon of wokeness not just in Canada but also the US of A. 

Walt refers to Buffy Sainte-Marie, a musician known for decades of "Indigenous activism". CBC’s investigative show The Fifth Estate is scheduled to air tonight an episode titled "Making an Icon".

A description of the episode doesn't name Sainte-Marie but says an icon’s "claims to Indigenous ancestry are being called into question by family members" and that its investigation includes genealogical documentation and historical research.

In a statement yesterday, Ms Sainte-Marie said "I don’t know where I’m from or who my birth parents were, and I will never know. Which is why to be questioned in this way today is painful. To those who question my truth, I say with love, I know who I am."

The octogenarian also posted a video on social media addressing the upcoming episode, saying she has shared her story for 60 years. She called herself "a proud member of the Native community with deep roots in Canada.... But there are also many things I don’t know, which I’ve always been honest about. I don’t know where I’m from, who my birth parents are or how I ended up a misfit in a typical white Christian New England home."

Buffy Sainte-Marie became popular in the hippy-dippy `60s for her singing and songwriting, and used her fame to push the "Lo, the poor Indian" agenda at a time when it wasn't receiving much attention and indigenous women were still called "squaws". Her debut record, It’s My Way!, featured several notable songs, including "Universal Soldier", written about the individual responsibility for war. 

Her appearance on Sesame Street began a symbiotic relationship with the PBS groomerfest which has lasted right up to last year.* Here's a stanza she wrote for her first appearance on the show in 1976.

I’m an Indian and I like sunshine

I’m an Indian and I like friends 

And I am real and I can feel and I’d love to take your hand 

Way heyo he-yo! 

Way heyo he-yo!

Excerpt: Sainte-Marie is iconic. She embodies a combination of fierce activism in her quest to fight for Indigenous rights and dignity and a strong belief that everything and everyone can change and ripen. The lyrics in her songs teach us about the devastating history of colonization while encouraging us to stay hopeful. Her educator roots shine bright in everything she does.

What a shame she isn't really an Indian, or First Nations or whatever. Still, she's the first Pretendian to rise to such lofty heights, even earlier than Fauxcahontas, the Senator who (for the time being) represents the great (?) state of Massachusetts, which is where Ms Sainte-Marie was raised.

Walt congratulates Mike Johnson, the new Speaker of the House

Dontcha love it? Dontcha just love it? Walt does! Just waiting for the other members of the Squad to declare Mr Johnson "completely unacceptable"!

"Because his name is Mohammed?" Another Air Canada story

While navigating the minefield of wokeness, Air Canada seems incapable of avoiding the meadow muffins. It seems like just yesterday [It was just yesterday! Ed.] that we posted an account of how The People's Airline (the epithet used when it was government-owned), lost the wheelchair of its own "Chief Accessibility Officer" (WWW 24/10/23). 

Today the BBC reports that Clive Betts, a British Member of Parliament, has accused Air Canada of delaying another MP at Heathrow "for a considerable period...because his name is Mohammad."

Mr Betts, standing on a point of order in the House of Commons this week, said fellow Labour MP Mohammad Yasin was pulled aside for questioning at London Heathrow (LHR) while other lawmakers he was travelling with were allowed through.

According to Mr Betts, Mr Yasin was asked "by “officials from Air Canada and, we believe, the Canadian government", where he was born and whether he was carrying a knife -- this despite Mr Yasin's having a visa to enter Canada.

Mr Betts said Yasin was eventually allowed to get on the flight, but he was "challenged" again at the Montréal (YUL) and Toronto (YYZ) airports -- both named after Liberal prime ministers, not that it matters. Hey, it's Canada.

Mr Yasin has received apologies from Air Canada as well as the parliament secretary to Canada’s Minister for Refugees and Immigration. In a statement, AC told the Beeb "Unfortunately Mr Yasin was designated for additional screening prior to his flight after a security check, but he was still able to travel as planned as he was quickly cleared." The airline went on to say that it regrets any inconvenience or upset caused.

So what's the problem? Mr Betts said it was important to put Mr Yasin's experiences on the parliamentary record due to their "racist and Islamophobic nature." Of course.

Yet another Air Canada story, with a special twist

For a long time after the government of Canuckistan privatised the former TCA (Trans-Canada Airlines, aka Tin Can Airlines) and renamed in Air Canada, it enjoyed a pretty good reputation for on-timne performance, customer service, safety etc. Within living memory it was voted the best North American airline. But not lately.

AC has been struggling since it got "woke", because the push for DEI (Diversity, Equity and Includsion) has forced the airline to hire staff based on how many boxes they check on the woke list, instead of merit. And there's a whole slew of employees now whose job is to ensure compliance with the wokeness mandate.

One of those employees is Stephanie Cadieux (woman, French-Canadian, disabled), whose lofty position is that of Chief Accessibility Officer -- the first of her kind in Canada. Recently, Mlle/Mme/Ms Cadieux (Walt isn't sure which honorifc applies) complained on X-formerly-known-as-Twitter that the airline had forgotten her wheelchair. Here's the photo she posted of Herself waiting in front of an AC service desk in a replacement wheelchair. 

Ms Cadieux left YYZ (Toronto) on Friday, October 20th, and arrived at the Vancouver airport (YVR) without her wheelchair. In her post, she wrote "I'm now without my essential equipment. Independence taken away. I’m furious. Unacceptable." ["Unacceptable" is the liberals' go-to expletive for anything they don't like. Ed.]

Unlike most helpless Canadian travellers, Ms Cadieus is in a position (maybe) to do something about the "unacceptable" service. After all, she's entitled, having been appointed Chief Accessibility Officer in May 2022. Before that, she was a member of B.C.’s legislature from 2009 to 2022 and has held several ministerial positions. 

In response to her post on X, Air Canada said that what happened is “certainly not the level of service we strive to provide” and said they would certainly do something about it, if she would just provide more information to the customer service department by filling in this form yada yada yada. Rotsa ruck, Stephanie.

10 ways to improve Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at your workplace

The following article was published on October 17th in the Babylon Bee. It was sponsored by the Goldwater Institute, a non-profit organization empowering all Americans to live freer, happier lives. Walt endorses the Institute and its work. 

Every company wants to grow, thrive, and be successful, but only truly GREAT companies want to do it by focusing obsessively on the skin color and sexuality of their workers. Improving your company's DEI score is the most important thing you can possibly do for your company. 

The Babylon Bee has compiled the following list of ways to turn your workplace into a wokeplace.

1. Take off your shoe and smack a white person in the head with it: Bonus points are available if the striker shouts "White! White! White!" while doing so. 

2. Hold a mandatory indigenous spirit dance in the boardroom every Tuesday: Any team member who refuses to participate or don the required loincloth will be fired. 

3. Amend the employee handbook to require everyone to be gay: A perfect workplace is a workplace overflowing with gayness. 

4. Go to Starbucks, point at the first woman of color with a septum piercing you see, and say "You're hired!": If it works for making appointments to the Supreme Court, it can work for you. 

5. Keep having 3-hour diversity seminars until all the white guys quit: Removing an entire race of employees is the first step toward inclusion. 

6. Offer a bonus for anyone who gets an abortion: We're not sure why this improves your DEI score, but the WEF confirmed it does. 

7. Provide free gender surgeons in the restrooms: On-site gender surgery means less time off needed by employees. 

8. Invite Hamas to give a talk about killing Jews: It's important to get the perspective of the brave resistance fighters who are fighting their colonizers by murdering babies. 

9. Allow minority workers to loot the desks of their white coworkers whenever they want: If any white employee's desk goes un-looted, simply take reparations out of their paycheck. 

10. Offer unlimited curry in the cafeteria (this will get you Indians): A guaranteed way to score some of the most sought-after employees. 

Follow the steps above and your workplace will be well on its way to a stellar DEI score! Good luck! 

NOT SATIRE: The Goldwater Institute recently won a massive victory in Texas over radical DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) bureaucracies. The Texas bill completely shuts down the entire "diversity, equity, and inclusion" apparatus used by the radical Left to instigate race- or gender-based radicalism on college campuses. 

The Goldwater Institute is looking to raise $10,000 help fund our efforts. Click here to donate today to help the Institute achieve more victories like this.
