The White Haters & Traitors Seek to Limit Whites in Medicine & Compromise Competence?
DEI is infecting medical profession
- National Post

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) breathes down the neck of nearly every profession. Lawyers are forced to adopt the vocabulary of left-wing activism, social workers are told to double as political agents and even the army has to participate in identity worship. Even medicine is not immune.
It starts in school: some Canadian medical schools begin internalizing DEI in their student bodies before admissions are even decided. Following the death of George Floyd in the United States in 2020, for example, Queen’s University dean (and exiled Liberal MP) Jane Philpott limited the school’s accelerated-track admission pathway to Black and Indigenous students only, setting aside 10 per cent of her med school’s seats for those groups.
“Our faculty aims to become a leader in Canada in cultural safety, anti-racism, anti-colonialism and anti-oppression in health professions education,” Philpott stated at the time. Now, Queen’s is planning to overhaul med-school admissions to make it even more equitable.
The term “anti-racism” usually doesn’t mean “being against racism,” but often instead amounts to “redirecting racism to level the playing field,” as characterized by notable anti-racist Ibram X. Kendi. “Anti-colonial” medicine, meanwhile, is rather oxymoronic, since the health professions, and modern medicine, are products of colonialism. There is no such thing as a pre-contact doctor, as that would require institutions for formal scholarly training and regulation — developments unique to the Old World.
Nevertheless, med schools are increasingly taking it upon themselves to carry out DEI. The University of Calgary created a special admissions pathway for Black students, entitling applicants to have their admissions essays evaluated by non-white assessors. Mcgill, the University of Alberta and Dalhousie have all done the same. Similar routes are offered for Indigenous students.
Not only is it toxic to assume that students will only be judged fairly by, or benefit from the positive bias of, a panel of their own race, it’s unfair not to extend the same process to everyone else. There is no Asian admission panel, or white admission panel. This is about providing unequal procedural advantages to certain people purely on the basis of their ancestry. By doing this, the schools are encouraging future professionals to do the same.
The professorial side isn’t much better off, as med schools have their very own DEI committees that create administrative roles (read: promotion fuel) for academics with a penchant for identity Marxism. Physician-academics who believe in “white immunity,” the notion that Caucasians are “inoculated” against racial oppression, or complain that the term “chief” is problematically colonial, get an easy pathway into faculty governance by simply playing DEI hall monitor.
The profs don’t escape the quota system, either. Funding sources like the Canada Research Chairs Program are beholden to strict racial and gender requirements, resulting in postings that explicitly exclude white men. The University of British Columbia’s current search for a spinal-cord rehabilitation scholar isn’t open to white men, nor is the U of A’s opening for a clinician-scientist in medicine.
Beyond that, whole medical schools have transparently committed themselves to activism, abandoning the pursuit of truth for a mission of identity-based handicapping. See the University of Toronto’s Temerty School of Medicine, which “is committed to the principles of allyship, with the acknowledgment that people in positions of privilege must be willing to align themselves in solidarity with marginalized groups.” The school has offered faculty seminars on social justice praxis and teaches a five-step coping mechanism for handling microaggressions.
Identity politics don’t go away in the real world. Niche doctor groups demand that queer and trans-specific training are made mandatory in doctor education. Their ideas are mainstreamed in scholarly publishing: periodicals like the Canadian Medical Journal of Health even cover “greysexuality,” queer theory’s attempt at granting minority status to those “experiencing sexual attraction rarely or under specific circumstances.”
Far-fetched ideas become best practices at the behest of professional associations like the Canadian Paediatric Society, which holds the “affirmation” model to be the standard of care for children who identify as transgender, despite acknowledging that cross-sex dysmorphia often goes away at puberty.
It’s even directly embedded into provincial health authorities. Alberta Health Services (AHS) developed an extensive DEI bureaucracy of practitioners, councils and committees, an “anti-racism advisory group,” as well as identity-based employee clubs (formally titled “workforce resource groups”). Monitoring employee demographics, including DEI “accountability” in performance evaluations and developing DEI training courses, have all been priorities since at least 2021 under AHS’S diversity framework.
That’s just in Alberta. The same ever-expanding network of support staff and committees can be found in other medical bureaucracies, courtesy of zealous adherents and naive old-school liberal health administrators. It doesn’t take much for the diversity committees of the last decade to metastasize and start infusing oppressor-oppressed struggle logic into every rung of the org chart.
Upstream from medicine is public health, which has also turned DEI from policy sideshow into policy centrepiece in recent years, particularly in British Columbia and at the federal level.
The next place DEI intends to colonize is the foundational set of themes that underpin physician training in Canada, the CANMEDS framework. Last revised in 2015, CANMEDS is up for renewal in 2025. The most radical change? DEI.
Doctors involved in the revision are proposing to make progressive-left values standard in physician training, including anti-racism, social justice, cultural humility, decolonization and intersectionality — all concepts coined by progressive, redistributive racialists who tend to despise western culture.
Health equity experts are all-in on this stuff, so expect the “experts say” coverage to be overwhelmingly positive. A preview is offered by Kannin Osei-tutu, a medical professor at U of C, who recently hailed the upcoming CANMEDS revision as an “unprecedented opportunity” for transformation.
“Transformative change in medical education and practice demands explicit integration of anti-oppressive competencies,” he wrote in last month’s issue of the Canadian Medical Journal of Health (which only ever seems to publish one side of this great debate).
“Progress hinges on cultivating a critical mass of physicians committed to this change, thus paving the way for more equitable and just health care.”
Wondering where all this goes? Look to New Zealand, a fellow British colony that has taken to reconciling with extreme self-flagellatory policies. In 2023, some of the island nation’s hospitals began prioritizing Indigenous Maori and Pacific patients on elective surgery wait lists on the basis of race.
“It’s ethically challenging to treat anyone based on race, it’s their medical condition that must establish the urgency of the treatment,” one anonymous doctor told the New Zealand Herald.
Plenty more like-minded doctors exist in Canada, but they are drowned out by heavy-handed administrations that insist on turning their profession into another stage of ideological performance. Their best recourse? Their provincial ministers of health and post-secondary education, who are uniquely empowered to turn things around.
THE PROFS DON’T ESCAPE THE QUOTA SYSTEM, EITHER.
Western Governments Have Declared Open Season on Their White Citizens
March 5, 2024| Categories: Articles & Columns| Tags: |Print This Article
This website depends on public support, which often proves to be a weak basis. Americans think that someone is going to save them, and for free.
Western Governments Have Declared Open Season on Their White Citizens
Paul Craig Roberts
Normal heterosexual white people are losing the protection of law in the Western world. It is happening in some countries faster than in others. Although women in Sweden and Norway do not have the same recourse to law when they are raped by immigrant-invaders as they have if raped by white Scandinavian men, it is in Great Britain and the US where the protection by law has collapsed most rapidly.
A recent example in Great Britain is the case of Sam Melia. Sam, a white British citizen, made available stickers that read:
Reject White Guilt
It’s ok to be White
We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066
White Lives Matter
Stop Anti-White Rape Gangs
Love your Nation
The BBC presstitutes branded Melia “a far-right activist.” A piece of shit “judge” ruled that the stickers’ messages are “corrosive to our society.” In other words the “judge” said that “our society is not white except for the corrosive elements in it who are opposed to Britain being overrun by immigrant-invaders.” The piece of shit “judge,” with weaponized law in his hand, declared his opinion that Sam was an “antisemite with Nazi sympathies” and sentenced Sam to two years in prison.
Sam was charged with a “hate crime” for saying it is ok to be white. He wasn’t charged with being an anti-semite or a Nazi sympathizer. These were charges that the “judge” added. The result is that a white British family with a two year old daughter and another child on the way will be devoid of a father, earner, and protector for two years.
THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WHITE BRITISH CITIZEN TODAY.
Meanwhile British “justice” gave a child pornographer no jail time. The same “British justice” gave no jail time to a person who brain damaged a baby. When criminals and immigrant-invaders get in trouble the ruling is that conviction would damage their careers. So there is no one to convict but white British citizens.
Consider what British “justice” has done to Julian Assange. British “justice” has kept him imprisoned in one form or the other for 12 years without any charges filed against him. This is a massive violation of habeas corpus. Today British “justice” is the same as the “justice” of the feudal lord who at his whim confined a person to a dungeon for life without recourse.
It is amazing what white people do to white people, but they won’t dare touch an immigrant-invader whatever he does. That would be racist.
In the United States the situation is so bad that the federal government absolutely refuses to enforce the immigration laws on the books. The pro-overrun America regime in Washington actually ruled that Texas cannot even protect its own border.
The US border is wide open. According to official figures immigrant-invaders from 160 countries have been pouring into the United States during the Biden regime equal in number each year equivalent to the populations of 12 cities the size of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
All the while the dumbshit liberals say “replacement is misinformation.” Well, so far the Biden regime, according to their very own understated figures, have given us White American Citizens immigrant-invaders in numbers equivalent to 36 cities the size of Pittsburgh. After four years of fiercely anti-white Democrat rule, we will have 48 cities, according to official understated figures, of immigrant-invaders the size of Pittsburgh.
Four more years of Democrats and we will have, according to official understated numbers, immigrant-invaders present in the amount of 96 cities the size of Pillsburgh.
In other words, four more years of Democrat rule and America is no longer a white country. It will be a tower of babel in which law is used to oppress white people.
White people don’t seen to care enough to stop the immigrant invasion. For more than a half century white Americans have accepted second class citizenship in university admissions, employment and promotion.
Only whites have to endure hate speech. Only whites are racists if they complain of black crime. Only whites can be sent to prison for saying that their lives matter.
Everywhere in the Western world, every citizen who attempts to defend the ethnic basis of his society is declared a racist.
In other words, everywhere in the Western world governments are committed to eliminating the white ethnicity of the countries that the ethnicities constituted: Great Britain, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands. Britons, French, Germans, Italians, Dutch, will cease to exist.
This is the trajectory on which the Western world is traveling.
If you point it out, you are declared an “enemy of democracy.”

Record number of migrants cross Channel in first three months of year
Some 4,644 migrants have crossed the English Channel to the UK so far in 2024

A record 4,644 migrants have crossed the Channel in small boats in the first three months of this year, Home Office figures showed on Wednesday.
Some 338 people were detected crossing the English Channel to the UK on Tuesday, bringing the cumulative number of arrivals so far in 2024 to the highest since the first small boats reached the UK in 2018.
The cumulative number of arrivals so far this year is 23 per cent higher than the total at this point last year, which was 3,770, and 12 per cent higher than the total at this stage in 2022, which was 4,162.
The figures have reversed the trend from last year, when the total 29,437 arrivals were down 36 per cent on the annual record of 45,774.
It comes after last week saw a record daily high for the year, when 504 migrants arrived on Wednesday in small boats.
It means more than 20,000 migrants have crossed the Channel since the Government introduced its stop the boats legislation in the form of the Illegal Migration Act, which received Royal Assent in July last year.
It gives ministers the powers to deem any migrant’s asylum claim inadmissible if they arrived in the UK illegally and deport them to a safe third country such as Rwanda.
The migrants are, however, in limbo because the Government has yet to implement the legislation but is not allowing them to claim asylum.
The surge comes despite a three-year £480 million Anglo-French deal agreed by Rishi Sunak last year to pay for a doubling in officers patrolling French beaches to 800, a joint command centre and a detention centre to prevent migrants from leaving France.
It emerged at the weekend that the French have been adopting tougher tactics including physically trying to force small boats to turn round for the first time, manoeuvres known as “pull backs” used in an attempt to stop small boats reaching British shores.
Tactics filmed by campaigners showed French Border Force vessels circling a migrant boat, causing waves to flood the dinghy; ramming into a small boat while threatening passengers with a large tank of pepper spray; and puncturing boats when they are already at sea, forcing migrants to swim back to shore.
French police face ‘increased violence on beaches’
The Government’s Rwanda Bill – a key plank of Mr Sunak’s pledge to stop the boats – has been delayed until after the Easter recess after a series of heavy defeats inflicted on the Government by the Lords.
It has raised fears that efforts to get the first deportation flights to Rwanda are likely to be delayed from May until June, when the people smugglers ramp up operations to take advantage of the calmer, better weather.
Responding to questions over the three-week delay, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “The legislation is dealing with a migration emergency, and we are introducing that legislation as soon as we possibly can to reduce the number of people taking the perilous journey across the Channel.”
A Home Office spokesman said: “The unacceptable number of people who continue to cross the Channel demonstrates exactly why we must get flights to Rwanda off the ground as soon as possible.
“We continue to work closely with French police who are facing increasing violence and disruption on their beaches as they work tirelessly to prevent these dangerous, illegal and unnecessary journeys.
“We remain committed to building on the successes that saw arrivals drop by more than a third last year, including tougher legislation and agreements with international partners, in order to save lives and stop the boats.”
Stephen Kinnock, the shadow immigration minister, said: “Despite all the evidence to the contrary, Rishi Sunak keeps on telling the British people that small boat arrivals are coming down and his promise to stop the boats remains on track.
“Can he not see what is happening from inside his No 10 bunker, or does he think we can’t see it for ourselves?
“Either way, it’s time to get a grip and restore order to the border. Labour will strengthen our border security, crush the smuggling gangs, clear the asylum backlog, end hotel use, and set up a new returns and enforcement unit so those with no right to be in the UK are swiftly returned. That is the plan we need.”

Illegal immigrants still come in their thousands. This will be the end of Rishi Sunak
There have been no promised flights to Rwanda. The Government rattles its sabre at illegal migrants – and then puts them up in lovely hotels
ROSS CLARK29 March 2024 • 11:41am
Iknow it is up against some pretty strong competition from HS2 and the like, but has this or any government wasted so much money to so little effect as the millions Rishi Sunak has shelled out to the French supposedly to stop migrants crossing the Channel? The number of migrants arriving in Britain in small boats has hit a new record in the first three months of 2024. Over 4,600 have somehow managed to evade French patrols. When the weather warms up and calms down we can expect many thousands more.
Rishi Sunak’s government has achieved the very worst on illegal migration, by talking tough and then failing even slightly to deliver. If the Government had approached the issue of illegal migration by speaking like those mealy-mouthed charities who insist every single illegal migrant coming to Britain is “desperate”, and trying to claim that they would all prove a huge boon to the country, boosting the economy and enriching our culture, you might have disagreed with that very strongly but at least you could have had a certain respect for it – the outcome would be consistent with the ideology.
Instead, we have had one minister after another tub-thumping over illegal migration, telling us it would go to all lengths to stop the boats – but the end result is even more illegal migration than we started with.
There are two possibilities here. Either Rishi Sunak and his Home Office ministers are all secret agents working for the Refugee Council and are using tough talk as cover for what they are really trying to achieve. Or they are simply incompetent, lily-livered and too intellectually feeble to take on the human rights blob. I think I favour the latter explanation.
If we are going to pay the French a bean to try to stop the boats the deal should have one clear condition: that anyone landing on a British beach, or picked up in UK waters, should be automatically and instantly returned to France. There should be no legal aid, no bed and board, no nothing. The message would soon have got across that it is pointless trying to cross the Channel – you will be paying a trafficker and risking your life for no reason.
Many European leaders agree that asylum-seekers must claim asylum in the first country they reach, and so unless someone is on the run from Macron’s regime, they have no business crossing the Channel. All Britain and France would be doing would be to enforce that sentiment. If the European Court of Human Rights took a different view the government should tell it to stuff it, like other countries seem very happy to do on all manner of topics.
Instead, the Government has thrashed around and got absolutely nowhere. There have been no promised flights to Rwanda. The Government rattles its sabre at illegal migrants – and then puts them up in lovely hotels. We have a government which seems to be pleading to be put out of its misery at the earliest opportunity.

Richard Tice claimed Rishi Sunak had “failed” on his pledge to stop the boats after Channel crossings for the first three months of 2024 hit a record high.
Official figures published by the Home Office today showed 338 people arrived in seven boats yesterday, taking the total for the year to date to 4,644.
That is a new high water mark for the first three months of a calendar year.
Mr Tice, the Reform UK leader, described the numbers as an “illegal migrant surge” as he took aim at Mr Sunak over the promise he made in January 2023 to stop the crossings.
The Home Office said the numbers showed why Rwanda migrant deportation flights needed to take off “as soon as possible”.
The Government’s Rwanda Bill is nearing the end of its journey through Parliament, with ministers still hoping the first flights will take off this spring.

Clapham chemical attacker given Muslim burial despite conversion to Christianity
Abdul Ezedi’s funeral conducted by mosque in west London amid claims he was not a worshipper there

The Clapham chemical attacker was given a Muslim funeral and burial despite converting to Christianity to claim UK asylum.
Abdul Ezedi, an Afghan national, had been at the centre of a manhunt after attacking a 31-year-old mother and her two daughters with a corrosive substance in south London in January.
Immigration files published on Tuesday showed the convicted sex offender had twice been refused asylum by the Home Office.
But, when he later insisted he had converted to Christianity and obtained the endorsement of a Baptist priest he was granted leave to remain.
The dossier showed he had repeatedly failed to answer basic questions about Christianity, lied about his past and was deemed such a sexual threat that a special worshipping agreement was put in place for him to attend a church in Jarrow, South Tyneside.
It is now understood that Ezedi’s family and friends requested that he should be given a Muslim funeral and burial after his body was found in the River Thames in February. It raises the prospect that those closest to him did not believe he had abandoned his Muslim faith.
The Telegraph revealed in February how he was known in Newcastle, where he lived, to be a devout Muslim who observed Ramadan and only ate Halal food.
His funeral was conducted by a mosque in west London, and he was given a Muslim burial at a cemetery in east London on March 11, the BBC has claimed. He is not thought to have been known to the mosque which buried him.
The Muslim funeral director, who did not want to be named, told the broadcaster: “As a funeral directors, we don’t look into people’s past, we look at how we can help in a situation.
“Our job was just to provide a dignified burial for the deceased.”

The BBC claimed some worshippers, many of whom had an Afghan background, said Ezedi had not been a worshipper there.
The mosque, which often conducts funerals for asylum seekers who die alone, asks for donations from regular worshippers to help with costs.
But when it asked for contributions in Ezedi’s case, some people were said to have been upset.
One worshipper, who did not want to be identified, said Ezedi, 35, had “attacked innocent people” and converted to Christianity, adding that it was “the responsibility of the church to bury him according to his new belief or religion, not the mosque”.
The newly released immigration papers show his conversion and his baptism at Grange Road Baptist Church in Jarrow had been pivotal in persuading a tribunal judge to let him stay.
However, the Home Office opposed the decision pointing out Ezedi had been unable to explain the reasons for his conversion or demonstrate a clear understanding of Christian principles. Asked what the Old Testament was about, he replied: “Jesus Christ.” He also claimed Jacob was one of the Apostles.
Asked what God was believed to have created on the third day, he answered: “Good Friday and Easter Sunday and Resurrection Day.”
Home Office officials told the tribunal they believed Ezedi was prepared to “use religion for his own ends” in order to secure asylum.
However, Judge O’Hanlon, the immigration judge, said in 2020 that although Ezedi had lied in other aspects of his claim, that did not “automatically mean that his evidence in relation to his claimed conversion could not be believed”.
He wrote in his judgment that he found the “most compelling evidence” had come from Reverend Roy Merrin, the then ministry team leader at Grange Road Baptist Church in Jarrow, who said he had known Ezedi for four years and that he attended church regularly.
The priest told the hearing he was “aware of people who fraudulently claimed conversion with ulterior motives in relation to asylum but did not consider the appellant (Ezedi) was such a person”.

[Demographer Jerry comments on Maxime’s call: “The Liberal Party’s immigration policy is GENOCIDE for White Canadians. The Liberal Party is hell bent on the extermination of True Canadians. The woke genocidal policy of the rulers of Canada plan this underhanded genocide of Canadians by abortion and alien immigration, while inventing new laws to prosecute all Canadian Patriots who dare to fight back.]
Trudeau’s mass immigration policy is completely out of control!
Statistics Canada announced this week that our country’s population has gone up by another million – after only nine months!
And no, it’s not because Canadian woman have suddenly started having babies.
Almost all of this growth is due to the arrival of permanent and temporary residents.
When the Liberals took power in 2015, Canada’s population was only 35 million.
How can we possibly integrate into our society, our economy, our housing market, our culture, the equivalent of Nova Scotia’s, or Saskatchewan’s population every few months?!?
It’s a planned invasion. It’s a total disaster in the making.
I started talking about the perils of mass immigration years ago.
The whole political and media establishment denounced me, smeared me, said I was a racist, a xenophobe, anti-Canadian.
But I kept telling the truth, because I care more about the future of our nation than about what these corrupt elites think of me.
More and more people now realize that I was right.
We need to make mass immigration the ballot box question at the coming election.
The only one party you can trust to keep on raising this issue, come hell or high water, is the PPC.
There’s only 36 hours left to reach our goal of raising $250,000 during the first quarter.
Please donate $25 today to help us save Canada from this mass immigration disaster.
I wish you and your family a happy Easter weekend. — Maxime Bernier

A Church of England archdeacon has called for “anti-whiteness”, in comments which have been criticised as divisive.
The Ven Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, Archdeacon of Liverpool, also called for people to “smash the patriarchy” but insisted her comments were “not anti-white, or anti-men”.
Her statement prompted an angry reaction, with one person asking if it would be “safe to attend church” if Dr Threlfall-Holmes “holds racial prejudice against white people”.
Just weeks ago, the church announced it would be hiring a “deconstructing whiteness” officer as part of a new 11-person “racial justice unit” being set up by the Diocese of Birmingham.
Senior clergy have also faced criticism for calling for the church’s £100 million slavery reparations fund to be increased to £1 billion.
Dr Threlfall-Holmes wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “I went to a conference on whiteness last autumn. It was very good, very interesting and made me realise: whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender.
“So yes, let’s have anti-whiteness, and let’s smash the patriarchy. That’s not anti-white, or anti-men, it’s anti-oppression.”
In response, users of X suggested that if the Cambridge-educated priest wanted “anti-whiteness” then she should “lead by example and resign”.
Some described her comments as “racist” and one asked: “Why do you seek to divide when your job description is literally to bring people together?”
Her words were criticised as “divisive” and “nonsensical” and one user said it would appear she had “given up Christianity to join a new and sinister cult”.
Dr Threlfall-Holmes, who was appointed archdeacon last year, also holds a role advising church leaders on implanting safeguarding reforms.
Last October she revealed she was attending a conference on “waking up to and addressing whiteness in the Anglican church”.
The day-long “Racial Justice Conference” in Birmingham was organised by Reconciliation Initiatives, a charity working in partnership with Coventry Cathedral to help churches “contribute to reconciliation in wider society”.
The aims of the conference included: “To encourage white participants to take next steps in facing their own whiteness, and in addressing institutional racism within Anglican churches and provinces.”
The charity also runs a four-week “Being White” course aimed at clergy and lay members who “identify racially as white” to help them address “the ways we are caught up in a system of white superiority and white advantage in UK society”.
‘A way of viewing the world’
When asked about the apparent contradictions in her comments, Dr Threlfall-Holmes told The Telegraph: “I was contributing to a debate about world views, in which ‘whiteness’ does not refer to skin colour per se, but to a way of viewing the world where being white is seen as ‘normal’ and everything else is considered different or lesser.”
Dr Threlfall-Holmes, a historian, added: “I do however understand that this is not a definition that is widely shared as yet outside of academic circles, and regret that Twitter [X] was perhaps not the best place for a nuanced argument.”
She praised the comments of the Bishop of Birmingham, the Rt Revd Dr Michael Volland, who last week defended the decision of his diocese to oppose a “deconstructing whiteness” officer on the basis that the phrase can be “misleading” and “has nothing to do with knocking or demeaning people who have white skin”.
The use of such terminology has previously been criticised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who said it was similar to language used in the television sitcom W1A, which satirised BBC managerial jargon.
The Rev Dr Ian Paul, who is a member of the General Synod and the Archbishops’ Council, has warned that “importing” such language from the culture wars in the US risks “alienating ordinary members of the Church of England”.
