Lutter contre l’islamophobie ou contre la loi 21 ? « cette nomination […] ne fait qu’encourager l’autocensure et entraver l’examen critique, le débat d’idées et, plus largement, la liberté d’expression dans l’espace public. » @lpaaft plus.lapresse.ca/screens/9027…

A major problem with the so-called “antiracist” movement is that it exports an American model of race relations to other countries, such as Canada, where the situation is very different. This is aptly analyzed by U. of T. professor Joseph Heath. @aftlpa theglobeandmail.com/opinion/a…

@DerekPederson3 But the "woke" were the first to use that term to self-identify!!! It was only after others started using it that they objected. I call them the anti-Enlightenment pseudo-left or the post-left.
