The Trudeau government’s Islamic Ideological Obsession
Trudeau Government’s Reply to Petition e-4335
[…] which requested the abolition of the position of Canadian representative on combatting Islamophobia. This petition was initiated by Nadia El-Mabrouk, president of the Rassemblement pour la laïcité (RPL, or Alliance for Secularism), following the appointment of Ms. Amira Elghawaby to that position.

On-line talk by David Rand

Saturday 9th September 2023, 2 pm (Montreal time)
The movement colloquially known as “wokism” greatly resembles a religion, with its unfalsifiable dogma (ubiquitous racism), its original sin (whiteness), the moral arrogance of the faithful, its magical thinking (gender identity), its puritanism, its rites, its martyrs, etc. Some observers even consider it to be literally a new religion. We will examine these questions.
