Courts considering ‘racial battle fatigue’ in sentencing

Nova Scotia is one of the few provinces in which it is legally required for judges to contemplate racial sentence discounts for Black offenders. The province’s top judges decided this in 2021, and it will remain the law until the federal government decides on a more egalitarian system, Jamie Sarkonak writes.

Just a few weeks ago, a Halifax man named Shondre Jarvis was sentenced to three years’ jail for nearly killing a fellow African Nova Scotian. It happened at a house party in 2024, where adults and children alike had gathered to continue the celebration of their historically Black neighbourhood’s annual festival.

The men had gotten into an argument, and later when the victim went to leave, Jarvis, who was intoxicated at the time, ran at the victim from behind with a knife and stabbed him six times, inflicting life-threatening injuries. Jarvis was disarmed by Good Samaritan partygoers, after which he fled and hid in the bush. A police dog sniffed him out. The charge was attempted murder, but he pleaded to aggravated assault.

What’s perhaps more mystifying than Jarvis’ senseless act of violence was the excuse that Nova Scotia’s professional racism experts later offered for it: racial battle fatigue.

Nova Scotia is one of the few provinces in which it is legally required for judges to contemplate racial sentence discounts for Black offenders. The province’s top judges decided this back in 2021, and it will remain the law until the federal government decides on a more egalitarian system.

The mechanics of racial sentencing in this manner involve the federal and provincial governments paying supposed racism experts to interview offenders and assemble “Impact of Race and Culture Assessments,” (IRCAS), which chronicle an individual’s subjective experience of racism as well as their community’s and family’s history of experiencing racism. These reports also tend to frame general disadvantage as systemic or structural racism. The dozens of these reports that are completed in Nova Scotia every year cost the public $7,000 each, according to federal documents obtained by the Post. Not all IRCAS result in a racial discount, but they do bring the fairness of sentencing into question by allowing for lighter sentencing based on race.

In Jarvis’ case, the court had ordered that an IRCA be produced to assist the judge in crafting a fair sentence. The ensuing report painted a picture of a man who had a lot going for him. He was brought up in a loving, supportive home; as a young adult, he had stable employment and a strong work ethic. In his community of Beechville, he had a strong sense of belonging.

The report, however, said that Beechville was subject to “systemic neglect, manifesting through underinvestment, exclusionary planning, and institutional indifference.” It also said that Jarvis had seen the N-word written on walls in high school, that he’d had “White power” yelled at him before, and that undercover police had asked if he sold drugs.

These experiences, wrote the assessor, can cause “racialized battle fatigue and racialized hypervigilance.”

“In applied forensic terms, these concepts help explain how chronic exposure to racialized suspicion and hostility can increase guardedness, mistrust, rapid threat appraisal, and defensive anticipation over time,” went the report. “They do not justify violence; however, they are part of the cumulative stress context which Shondre Jarvis was affected.”

Indeed, “racial battle fatigue” and “cumulative racialized stress” were two factors that brought about the stabbing, according to the IRCA report.

And there was the absurdity in the case. This was a near-murder, waged by one Black man against another, at a celebration of their community … and somehow, racism was to blame. That seems to be the grand theory behind most of these IRCAS: if you zoom out enough, you can blame an offender’s behaviour on abstract causes like colonialism and racism if he falls into a demographic that allows for it.

Not all IRCAS result in a racial discount, but they do bring the fairness of sentencing into question.

The judge, in this case, didn’t buy the racial battle fatigue excuse, and seemed puzzled that the IRCA report writer sidestepped the fact that both victim and assailant were African Nova Scotian.

This is not the first time a Nova Scotian court has heard about racial battle fatigue. It was also woven into a different IRCA report for a Black offender named Makayle Skinner back in February.

Skinner was convicted of manslaughter for killing

Treyvhon Bradshaw, also a Black man, in 2022 outside a Halifax nightclub. The facts agreed upon in court indicated a case of self-defence: Bradshaw had threatened to shoot Skinner and then went and grabbed a gun from his car. Skinner, who had been a gunshot victim on three separate occasions, predicted an ambush and took a position off to the side of the nightclub entrance, from which point he saw Bradshaw walking back in a crouched stance toward a group of people standing near the door. When Skinner saw Bradshaw’s gun, he fired.

The ensuing IRCA report notes that “Racial battle fatigue further contextualizes Makayle Skinner’s response” — once again blaming an act of violence between two Black men on the unpinpointable force of racism that supposedly saturates Canadian society.

Outside the criminal context, racial battle fatigue has also been advanced in the case of an Indigenous academic who accused the University of Regina of racism in the course of a labour dispute.

It was also raised by University of Ottawa law professor Rakhi Ruparelia in a 2014 paper in which she claimed to suffer from “racial battle fatigue” after teaching a course on social justice. By her own account, she took an emotional, personally probing approach to teaching about racism. At one point, a white student came to her in tears over how the course made her feel. Ruparelia told the student to examine her privilege and warned her that if she wants to work with non-white clients in the future, she needed to “constantly … reflect on (her) role as a white woman working with these communities.”

“I think perhaps this course made you uncomfortable, which you have framed as guilt, because it forced you to consider your privilege as a white woman . … If you are not willing to do this work, you really have no business working with (racialized) communities,” Ruparelia told the student.

The conversation was “physically and emotionally” draining to Ruparelia, hence her “battle fatigue.” In teaching on these topics in general, she interpreted the hostility of “resistant (even if well-intentioned) white students” as “racial microaggressions” which could be exhausting and harmful to her, seemingly oblivious to her own role in perpetuating classroom toxicity.

The original source of racial battle fatigue theory is University of Utah professor William Smith, who has published on the topic numerous times since 2003. It tries to dredge up an excuse to offset individual responsibility from a sea of past unconnected negative experiences, and it finds an audience among those who already believe in the social justice pantheon.

By that same logic, every woman charged with a crime ever should be able to blame “sexism battle fatigue”; everyone who has suffered another’s cruel words should be able to claim “bullying battle fatigue” and so on.

A person’s history of bullying should be relevant to a court if the crime had something to do with retaliating against a bully. In a similar vein, a person’s experience of racism should be considered if their charges had to do with, say, responding to racial aggression.

But to give everyone of a particular background the ludicrous pretence of “racial battle fatigue” to defend bad behaviour is to corrupt the system

‘Inclus­ive’ hir­ing hampers research: report

‘Diversity … can lower per­form­ance’

Mcgill Uni­versity’s most recent equity quotas require the school to hire 34 “racial­ized” Canada Research Chairs, five Indi­gen­ous Canada Research Chairs and 10 “per­sons with dis­ab­il­it­ies.”
National Post - (Latest Edition)

TRISTIN HOPPER

2 Sep 2026

Cana­dian man­dates on race-based hir­ing quotas in aca­demia have done meas­ur­able dam­age to the coun­try’s research pro­ductiv­ity, accord­ing to a new report by the Mac­don­ald-laur­ier Insti­tute.

Ever since 2017, Cana­dian uni­versit­ies have been sub­ject to strict iden­tity-based hir­ing quotas as a con­di­tion of receiv­ing fed­eral research fund­ing.

In recent years, this has res­ul­ted in a reg­u­lar stream of aca­demic job post­ings that are expli­citly barred to straight, white men. New­found­land’s Memorial Uni­versity, for instance, advert­ised a tranche of five new jobs in April that were open only to “women; 2SLGBTQIA+ people; Indi­gen­ous peoples; racial­ized per­sons; and per­sons with dis­ab­il­it­ies.”

And accord­ing to a 54-page report pub­lished Tues­day, all of this iden­tity-based hir­ing has yiel­ded a not­able drop off in the amount of Cana­dian research being pub­lished or cited by other schol­ars.

“Our ana­lysis … con­firms that diversity is not merely neut­ral but can lower per­form­ance,” reads the con­clu­sion of The Equity-excel­lence Tradeoff report.

It added, “all told, end­ing EDI (equity, diversity and inclu­sion) ini­ti­at­ives in Cana­dian research should be a top pri­or­ity for any respons­ible gov­ern­ment.”

The report zer­oed in on the $311-mil­lion per year Canada Research Chair pro­gram, the fed­eral research fund with the most overt stric­tures on iden­tity-based hir­ing.

The pro­gram funds 2,285 uni­versity-based Canada Research Chairs whose salary and office expenses are covered entirely by fed­eral grant money. For a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, for instance, schools receive $200,000 a year. For Tier 2, it’s $100,000 per year.

In return, schools must sub­mit to fed­er­ally set quotas on the race, gender and sexual char­ac­ter­ist­ics of the research­ers they’re allowed to hire.

Accord­ing to the most recent “equity tar­gets” pub­lished by the Gov­ern­ment of Canada, Canada Research Chairs must be 22 per cent “racial­ized,” 4.9 per cent “Indi­gen­ous” and 50.9 per cent “women and gender equity-seek­ing groups.”

These tar­gets take the form of reg­u­larly updated tables in which indi­vidual uni­versit­ies are told the pre­cise num­ber of Canada Research Chairs they’re required to hire in one of four “equity-deserving” groups.

Mcgill Uni­versity’s most recent equity quotas, for instance, require the school to hire 34 “racial­ized” Canada

Research Chairs, five Indi­gen­ous Canada Research Chairs and 10 “per­sons with dis­ab­il­it­ies.”

The Canada Research Chair pro­gram began in 2000, but its iden­tity man­dates star­ted only in 2017 under the over­sight of then-prime min­is­ter Justin Trudeau. And in just nine years, the effect has been pre­cip­it­ous.

At the pro­gram’s launch, 80 per cent of Canada Research Chairs were white males. As of 2025, white males com­prised just 25 per cent of the total.

Mac­don­ald-laur­ier Insti­tute ana­lysts ranked the pro­ductiv­ity of Canada Research Chairs both before and after the iden­tity man­dates.

What they determ­ined was that the quant­ity and qual­ity of Canada Research Chair schol­ar­ship had declined from between 10 per cent to 15 per cent, which the report attrib­uted to the “non-mer­it­ori­ous appoint­ment of less qual­i­fied Black, Indi­gen­ous, and female chairs.”

The report cat­egor­ized the per­form­ance of 1,906 Canada Research Chairs by their “h-index,” a stand­ard global meas­ure of a scholar’s pro­ductiv­ity and rel­ev­ance.

An h-index ranks the num­ber of papers in which a researcher is lis­ted as an author, as well as the num­ber of instances in which those papers have been cited by oth­ers, and then arrives at a num­ber that is typ­ic­ally between one and 100.

Cur­rently, Canada’s highest h-index belongs to Mcmas­ter Uni­versity health researcher Gor­don Guyatt. With his name on 1,715 pub­lic­a­tions and 366,582 cita­tions, as of last count, he has an h-index of 290.

In a close second is another Mcmas­ter Uni­versity health researcher, Salim Yusuf, with an h-index of 280.

The Mac­don­ald-laur­ier Insti­tute paper broke down the median h-index for dif­fer­ent races of Canada Research Chairs, and found that the cohorts with the low­est research pro­ductiv­ity are the same cohorts being given pri­or­ity for aca­demic jobs.

The aver­age white or Asian male scholar, for instance, had an h-index of 39. For male schol­ars who were Black or Indi­gen­ous, mean­while, the h-index came to 25.

There was also an h-index gap between women and men gen­er­ally. Male Canada Research Chairs aver­aged an h-index of 38, while female schol­ars aver­aged 28.

From this, the paper con­cluded that the gradual replace­ment of high-achiev­ing cohorts with lower-achiev­ing ones was com­ing at the cost of lower qual­ity research — at least in terms of h-index scores.

“There will be many cases in which female, Black, or Indi­gen­ous schol­ars will not impose a cost, but on aver­age — underan Edid­ispens­a­tion in which race and sex con­sid­er­a­tions can out­weigh schol­arly merit — this will be the case,” it said.

As one example, the paper noted that in instances where a uni­versity took a pos­i­tion pre­vi­ously filled by a white or Asian scholar, and filled it with a Black or Indi­gen­ous hire, that’s likely to entail an “aver­age loss of 3.2 h-index points.”

Racism matters…unless the victim is White

Racism matters…unless the victim is white

Racism matters…unless the victim is white.

The tragic death of Henry Nowak has become a test of whether Western societies truly believe in equality.

Short on time? Here is a 5 dot point summary of my thoughts.

  • The muted reaction to Henry Nowak’s murder exposes a double standard in how racial incidents are treated when the victim is white.
  • Were the police too quick to believe allegations against Henry because they assumed the white person was the likely offender.
  • I contrast the global response to George Floyd’s death with the comparatively limited attention given to Henry Nowak’s case.
  • Has DEI ideology contributed to a culture in which concerns affecting white men are increasingly dismissed or ignored?
  • True equality requires opposing racism consistently, regardless of the race of either the victim or the perpetrator.


What’s a white life worth? Not much if you judge by the muted reaction to the stabbing murder of teenager Henry Nowak in the United Kingdom.

For years politicians, activists, corporations and media organisations have insisted that racism must be confronted wherever it appears.

Yet the reaction to the horrific death of this 18 year old has demonstrated in the starkest terms that racism against white people is considered a lesser form of discrimination.

Henry was stabbed with a 21 centimetre ceremonial sword wielded by an Indian Sikh man who then phoned police claiming the teenager had “racially attacked” him.

Henry lay drowning in his own blood, handcuffed and denied treatment by police who were only too ready to believe that the white person must have been the offender.

“I’ve been stabbed,” the teenager garbled to police as he lay handcuffed in the dirt, blood filling his lungs.

A police officer replied: “I don’t think you have mate.”

Three minutes passed before police finally paid enough attention to realise, too late to save his life, that Henry Nowak had indeed been stabbed.

The killer had already disposed of the murder weapon with the assistance of his mother, who removed it from the scene, and played the race card.

“I’ve been racially attacked by a white guy.” The killer said.

Police, long conditioned to believe that racism can only flow in one direction and that white people are inherently suspect were only too willing to believe the lie.

And now Henry Nowak is dead.

You would think the case would cause outrage.

Across the Atlantic, when George Floyd died in police custody, there were riots in the streets. Not just in American streets. There were protests and demonstrations across the Western world, entire city blocks burned.

Even UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer took a knee for George Floyd. Yet Starmer only commented on Henry Nowak’s murder after media outlets, Elon Musk and people like me began highlighting not just his silence but the legacy media and the Left.

The Prime Minister eventually released a statement expressing his condolences and concern. He said “…we must end the cycle of tragedy by tackling the horror of knife crime…”

Let’s conduct a thought experiment.

Imagine the roles were reversed.

Imagine Henry Nowak was an immigrant. Perhaps a young Pakistani man.

Imagine the outrage.

Imagine the headlines.

Imagine the speeches from political leaders.

Imagine how London would be burning right now.

The British Prime Minister would have addressed the nation and promised to do everything in his power to eradicate racism and bigotry.

But Henry Nowak was not black, he was not brown, he was white and white doesn’t count, or at least it doesn’t count as much.

I am not arguing that George Floyd received too much attention, that is a separate debate. My criticism is that Henry Nowak appears to have received too little.

If political leaders were willing to kneel for George Floyd why is there no comparable national reflection for a white teenager murdered in circumstances that raise serious questions about racial hostility?

In much of the Western world white men have become society’s acceptable target.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs were originally sold as a means of ensuring equal opportunity.

But increasingly these initiatives strip men (especially white men) of their individuality and reduce them to representatives of a supposedly privileged class whose concerns can be safely ignored.

Institutions that boast about opposing discrimination now seem remarkably selective when deciding which forms of discrimination deserve attention.

And perhaps the greatest irony of all is that many of these Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs are championed by white women who increasingly view white men not as individuals, but as members of a privileged class whose concerns can be safely dismissed.

A black man is murdered? Outrage. It’s racism.

And even if the killer was black, someone, somewhere, will insist that systemic racism was the real culprit.

But if a white man is murdered? Meh. Move along. Nothing to see here.

That is why the Henry Nowak case resonates far beyond a single tragic murder.

For many people it represents a test of whether Western societies genuinely believe in equal treatment or merely equal treatment for some groups.

People are tired of being told that racism is a national emergency one day and an inconvenient topic the next.

If racism is wrong, then it is wrong regardless of who commits it and regardless of who suffers from it.

That principle should not change according to the identity of the victim.

All I want is equality. No matter the colour of your skin.

Is that asking too much?

Federal Summer Employment Programme Discriminates Against White Youth

Federal Summer Employment Programme Discriminates Against White Youth
Juno News
t
The youth unemployment rate in Canada for March was at 13.8%, just slightly lower than it was in February when it was over 14%. But in Toronto, Canada’s largest city, youth unemployment in 2025 was at over 20%. According to TD Bank, roughly one in five young Canadians who live in Toronto we’re out of work.
Now all of this paints a bleak picture. One you are no doubt aware of and you probably don’t need a reminder of it as well. Which is why the federal government has launched the Canada Summer Jobs Program just in time to help resolve this situation. Such a great initiative from the federal government to ensure that all young
Canadians can find a way to enter the job market. Right? Well, not if you happen to be a young white Canadian who lives in or around a city. That’s because employers with the Canada Summer Jobs Program are literally deprioritizing the applications from white Canadians who are not gay and who are not disabled.
Sounds like a joke, but I’m going to show you the receipts. They are openly advertising that they will prioritize applications for quote, youth who face barriers to employment. We are almost at the stage in Canada where we are going to have notifications on job applications that say white man need not apply.
Can I say that now in Canada? Or is that considered hate speech? Nothing quite like breaking down barriers to the job market for youth, quite like putting up barriers for just one set of job applicants. We’re dealing with youth unemployment here. And the federal government is playing identity politics with this.
Canada Summer Jobs program discriminates against white Canadians
On today’s episode of Ratio’d, Harrison examines the Canada Summer Jobs program and how “equity-seeking” priorities blatantly sideline work-ready youth amid a brutal jobs crisis
Harrison Faulkner

Youth unemployment in Canada is at 13.8 percent. In Toronto, the youth unemployment rate in 2025 was over 20%. But the Canadian government-sponsored Canada Summer Jobs program is blatantly discriminating against White Canadian youth who aren’t gay or disabled.

Young Canadians who don’t qualify as “equity seeking youth” will have their applications deprioritized. How can this be allowed? No young Canadian should be disadvantaged in a youth employment crisis because of the colour of their skin or their sexual orientation.

At a time when young people are already struggling to find work, programs like Canada Summer Jobs should be focused on expanding opportunity, not narrowing it.

The federal government is playing identity politics on the backs of struggling youth in Canada. This should shake Canadians to their core

Calgary Kids Kicked Out of Cafeteria Because of Ramadan

Calgary Kids Kicked Out of Cafeteria Because of Ramadan

 https://x.com/YakkStack/status/2033264441194869178

This one ought to make you hostile.Because what’s happening at Calgary’s Fairview School isn’t a misunderstanding or an overcorrection by a well-meaning administrator.It’s Pure Racism dressed up as inclusion and a whole lot of Canadians are done pretending otherwise.Think back to the last time your kid’s school sent a note home explaining why “Merry Christmas” had been scrubbed from the winter concert program.Maybe you got that letter.Maybe you didn’t.But a whole lot of Canadian parents did and were told it was in the name of inclusion.Now there’s a leaked email out of Fairview School in Calgary, making the rounds. And it turns out inclusion has a new address.

During Ramadan, the school’s cafeteria and lunchroom were designated no-food zones at lunch. Fasting students get to use those spaces undisturbed.Non-fasting students – meaning the majority of the school – are told to go find somewhere else to eat.For the entire lunch hour.Every day.For a month.The thread covering this pulled 6 million views in a matter of days.Six million people aren’t overreacting. Six million people recognized something.Calgary’s Muslim population sits at approximately 7.4% according to the 2021 census…and yes, with the mass, unsustainable immigration that has poured into Alberta over the last few years, concentrated heavily between Edmonton and Calgary, that number is likely higher now. Call it 10%, generously. One in ten students.
Premier Smith has already pointed out that roughly 35% of students in Alberta classrooms are non-English speaking. So maybe we’re potentially talking about one in three children, depending on the school and the district.But even at the high end of that range – the majority of students at Fairview are being displaced from the main shared eating space so that a minority of fasting students can use it undisturbed while everyone else scatters to find a corner to eat their lunch.
The cafeteria doesn’t belong to the students who are fasting.It belongs to all of them.It was built with by generations of our tax dollars.And it was taken away from most of our children without so much as a conversation with parents.Here’s why this blew up so fast and why the anger behind those 6 million views is completely legitimate.Schools have spent years carefully, deliberately neutralizing Christian references in public spaces. Nativity plays, gone. “Merry Christmas” replaced with “Happy Holidays.” Teachers coached to strip anything that might signal the institution was built around one cultural tradition. All of it justified under the banner of secular neutrality.You cannot spend a decade flattening one tradition in the name of secular neutrality and then turn around and restructure the physical school day around a different religion’s calendar.Pick a lane.Because from where parents and grandparents are sitting, this doesn’t look like pluralism. It looks like a different set of winners and a new set of losers and the only thing that changed is which group is being accommodated.This isn’t the first time we’ve watched this play out.We saw it with Affirmative Action in the 90s…the first version of the argument that certain groups needed to be placed ahead of others in order to correct imbalance.We watched it transition into DEI frameworks in the workplace.We watched it extend into gender ideology in schools, where basic biological reality became a policy casualty in the name of inclusion.Every single iteration has followed the same arc.Take a principle that sounds reasonable on the surface – fairness, equity, inclusion – and apply it so selectively and so aggressively that it collapses the very foundation it claimed to be building.Meritocracy gutted.Equal treatment replaced with priority treatment based on identity.And anyone who raises their hand to ask why gets handed a label designed to end the conversation.The problem is that the conversation doesn’t end. It just goes underground and comes back angrier.Every one of these incidents…the scrubbed Christmas concerts, the DEI hiring frameworks, the cafeteria cleared for one group while everyone else figures it out, lands in the same place in people’s minds.It lands on the five immigration questions sitting at the front of Premier Smith’s October referendum.Because when ordinary Albertans – parents, grandparents, taxpayers – watch their kids get shuffled out of a room their own tax dollars paid for, in a country that told them everyone would be treated equally and then get called racists for having a problem with it – exactly what do they think will happen?And all Albertans and Canadians – whether they support separatism or not – will start asking bigger questions.Questions like: who is this country actually being built for?And the answer coming back to them, more clearly every week, is – not us.That’s not a fringe sentiment.Not Racism.Not a far-right talking point.It’s exactly what happens when people watch the rules get applied in one direction, year after year, and are told to sit down and accept it.They won’t.Equal treatment used to mean everyone was treated the same.It still should.And the moment we decided that some groups needed to be made more equal than others – in our workplaces, in our hiring halls, and now in our children’s cafeterias – we stopped building a society and started building a resentment that no policy paper is going to paper over.Albertans are paying attention.And in October, they’ll have somewhere to put it.Your going to want to share this with your friends, family and community – because where there is smoke, there is fire…and that fire still has the federal government dousing it with gasoline.Putting an end to this before it becomes an issue in all schools isn’t something you can sit back and wait for…it’s something you need to be involved in, if only by forwarding this along

Jamie Sarkonak: Feds’ racial politics have plunged Canadian fisheries into chaos

Identity-based redistribution programs have been a disaster for fishermen on both coasts

There are Indigenous fishers, and there are non-Indigenous fishers — and every year, the federal government takes more and more away from one to give to the other, citing reconciliation and an ever-expanding notion of Indigenous rights.

The 2025 edition of this game of racial redistribution involved the Liberal government taking away half of the American eel quota and distributing it to First Nations in Atlantic Canada. Another 27 per cent was planned to be taken for distribution to employees of those who already have eel licences, but this was cancelled last-minute on Thursday, when Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier came to her senses and called it off.

Article content

It was an instance of drastic favouritism: in the Maritimes, the Indigenous population is between 2.2 and 5.5 per cent, depending on the province, while in Newfoundland, it’s 9.3 per cent. The government previously defended its plans for identity-based redistribution as a moral move, with lucrative eel prices providing “a unique opportunity to advance reconciliation by reducing the longstanding socioeconomic gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.”

Aside from reconciliation-driven quota transfers like the eel quota redistribution of 2025, the feds are often motivated by a desire to honour the treaty right held by the region’s Indigenous groups to earn a “moderate livelihood,” as the Supreme Court of Canada set out in the 1999 case of R. v. Marshall. The feds have never been clear or consistent about setting limits on that right, though.

So when Indigenous groups exercise that right — which often seems to come without limits — their harvest cuts into the allowable catch for commercial fisheries, with the potential to devastate fishers big and small. Facing quota redistribution, eel fishers Tien and Anh Nguyen believed they wouldn’t be able to keep anywhere near as many staff. They weren’t going to be compensated for their loss, either.

Meanwhile, budding eel farming company NovaEel — which, if it succeeds, will be the first of its kind in Canada — now has rocky prospects. The eel suppliers it had lined up to get its farming operation off the ground were poised to have considerable quota taken away, which would mean that NovaEel wouldn’t be able to get up and running. The government has signalled that it can kill this kind of business at a moment’s notice, which is toxic to investment.

Plenty more of these identity-based initiatives in fishing have gone though. In 2025, $259.5 million in handouts are planned to support commercial Atlantic First Nations fishing businesses. These funds will be used on everything from licences, boats and gear to corporate governance; licences acquired under the deal can be leased back to non-Indigenous fishermen. Note that on the East Coast, the feds have spent more than $1 billion buying fishing licenses and equipment for First Nations over the years.

So, while the feds obliterate non-Indigenous businesses without compensation, they’ve been pumping millions into the Indigenous side.

Indeed, in 2021, commercial crab fishers in one fishing zone of British Columbia had half of their trapping allocation taken by the government and redistributed to Indigenous people to assist them in earning a “moderate livelihood.”

On the losing side of the reallocation were Jason Voong, a second-generation crab harvester whose family came here to fish crab after fleeing the Vietnam war, and Jeff and Cameron Edwards, whose family fishing business had been in the area for 32 years. “As a commercial fisherman, I feel like I don’t exist in the eyes of the government,” Jeff Edwards told the Tofino-Ucluelet Westerly News. No one, of course, was compensated by the government.

As for lobster, the fishery is in absolute chaos due in part to federal cowardice. In southeast Nova Scotia, leaders of the Sipekne’katik First Nation set up a large out-of-season fishery in 2020, which they claim is an exercise of their Aboriginal right to earn a moderate livelihood from the land. The feds attempted to put a cap on their catch, but this was rejected by the First Nation, which continued to take lobster from the sea. That alone should raise questions about the legality of their actions.

You might be able to guess what happened to the lobster population in that area since. Commercial fishers have reported that lobster stocks are depleted due to over-harvesting. Meanwhile, say the RCMP, an organized crime group has been profiting from illegally harvested lobster, reaping profits and terrorizing locals.

Still, instead of putting its foot down and finding a resolution, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans largely watched from the sidelines, enforcing violations here and there but refusing to approve a tentative agreement between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous fishers that could have resolved the matter in 2022.

Instead, the problem of legally grey Indigenous fisheries spread: a Mi’kmaw group on Prince Edward Island followed their Nova Scotian counterparts and set up another “moderate livelihood” fishery; now, the group’s leader is asking for the government to provide them with commercial licences as well. And why not? The feds have proven to be generous so far.

The civil discord that comes from having parallel, competing, identity-based fisheries hasn’t been good. Prince Edward Island has noticed an uptick in gear tampering — such as cutting traps loose from lines — while Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have seen everything from vigilante trap removal to violence and sabotage. Buildings have been torched, and men who refuse to buy unlicensed catch have had their homes shot at. Non-Indigenous fishermen have removed traps from the water, while Indigenous fishermen have set up blockades to defend their wharf.

It’s not good. The Liberals, keen on neutering Canada’s resource sector, have done what they can to neglect their duty to provide a fair and prosperous playing field. On the coasts, this involves pitting subsets of the population against each other in the absence of clear rules.

They’ve turned the fishing industry into a ridiculous game of racial tug-of-war, which is corrosive to good community relations on the coast — and to the health of the Canadian fishing industry in general.

The War on Whites: Justin Trudeau Endorses Race-Based Muslim Employee Hiring In Canada

The War on Whites: Justin Trudeau Endorses Race-Based Muslim Employee Hiring In Canada

She has no legitimacy to make recommendations for Quebec. She must leave her position, and it should simply be abolished.”

Meritocracy, definition:

“Political, social, or economic system in which individuals are assigned to positions of power, influence, or reward solely on the basis of their abilities and achievements, and not on the basis of their social, cultural, or economic background or irrelevant personal characteristics.”

 “The theory of meritocracy presupposes the possibility of equality of opportunity.”

There’s “meritocracy,” and then there’s hypocrisy. Within the context of woke ideology, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has indulged in latter like no other national leader in Canadian history.

It’s the essence of “wokism” as manifest in our PM’s recent endorsement of race-based hiring. It’s one thing for Liberal government-approved “Islamophobia Czar” Amira Elghawaby to indulge in the practice– such ethno-centricism is to be expected.

“The Quebec government renewed its call for Canada’s special representative on combating Islamophobia to resign Friday, after she sent a letter to college and university heads recommending the hiring of more Muslim, Arab and Palestinian professors.”

“It was the reference to hiring that drew the immediate indignation of Quebec’s higher education minister, who called on Elghawaby to resign, saying she should mind her own business.”

After which Justin Trudeau came to the rescue:

“Speaking to reporters in the Montreal area, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that while each university has its own rules on hiring, Elghawaby’s role is to make recommendations and encourage dialogue between different groups.”

Turning to Canadian law, we uncover a piece of pertinent information:

“The Canadian Human Rights Act has long prohibited discrimination on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, and certain other grounds.” 

Holy Cow. The Canadian Human Rights Act serves as the cornerstone of government’s commitment to racial equality. In turn, non-profit organizations such as National Council Of Canadian Muslims live-and-breathe by such legislative edicts.

Tell us, Ms. Elghawaby– if our institutions of higher learning indulge in hiring policies exclusive to Muslims, what happens to candidates who come from outside the community?

Logical answer: they don’t get the job. Now, tell us how this fails to equate with “prohibited discrimination” against, for example, white or Sikh employment candidates?

“A spokesperson for Canadian Heritage said that Elghawaby was not available for comment on Friday.”

Right. Informed Canadians understand the way these things roll. When it’s time to whine and complain about racism, the so-called anti-racists are there with rainbow-coloured bells on. When time arrives to defend their behaviour, they’re as silent as the lambs.

“Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Jean-François Roberge criticized Elghawaby on Friday for interfering in the management of Quebec institutions and committing the ‘unthinkable’ act of hiring professors based on their faith.”

Hate to break it to you, Minister Roberge, but there is nothing “unthinkable” about this. Straight out of the gate, Mr. Trudeau went all-in on the “race-card”— the outcome being a systemic winding-up of race-oriented controversy.

Looking back at 20th century history, we recognise the fall-out of such situations. In cases of social revolution, the issue of race transitions to a weapon of political manipulation. Call us paranoid, but we say that the Liberals have with full intention cultivated this phenomenon for political purposes.

Readers may recognise a piece of deja vu in regard to Amira Elgabaway’s contentious position:

“In response to her nomination, Quebec political leaders in 2023 called on Elghawaby, a journalist and human rights activist, to have her appointment as Canada’s first anti-Islamophobia representative rescinded.”

Nothing happened, and in typical woke style, nothing will change regarding this latest round of condemnation.

In response, “[Quebec Premier Francois] Legault criticized Trudeau for defending Elghawaby in the name of diversity and refusing to call for her resignation.”

It is with minimal surprise that we trace PM Trudeau’s ethnocentric endorsement to socialist political imperatives endorsed by our prime minister.

“One such aspect of the capitalist education system is the ‘myth of meritocracy.’ While Marxists argue that class background and money determine how good of an education people get, the myth of meritocracy posits that everyone has an equal chance at success.”

A fair amount of media ink has been spilt in terms of Canada’s Marxist-infused education system. Here, Trudeau tacitly endorses the phenomenon.

“Not only is (education) a jurisdiction of the Quebec government, but it is a jurisdiction of the universities,” Legault said.

In this regard, one must comprehend socialism at its base form. For communist governments, everything within society falls under government jurisdiction. It’s how mainstream media became a branch of our federal government. It’s the method by which CBC Corporation hire new employees, and a core component of hiring practices within Canadian corporations and NGO’s.

Not good enough. Looking to place the agenda on steroids, rather than an “open field” for job candidates, advocates want it whittled down to one ethnic community in particular.

“We’ve seen an increase in rhetoric and tension and I think we all have to really reflect on what we’re doing to bring people together to make sure we’re listening to each other and even people with very different perspectives that may challenge us, make sure that we’re hearing each other,” Trudeau said regarding the controversy.

What a pile of steaming hogwash. His statement doesn’t say anything of substance at all. Still, there’s one thing Canadians know well and good. When it comes to Trudeau’s preferred ethnic voter communities, no words of criticism ever come forth.

“She has no legitimacy to make recommendations for Quebec. She must leave her position, and it should simply be abolished,” stated Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Jean-François Roberge.

Justin Trudeau has no legitimacy to back this latest version of community ethno-centricm. Unfortunately, this and a loonie will get you a half-cup of coffee at Tim Horton’s.
