Canada slides ever deeper into racial tribalism. Toronto trustees revive segregated schooling under the banner of Afro-centric education while branding integration itself racist. We witness the inversion: what Martin Luther King marched against now earns applause from politicians who insist race must dictate classrooms, funding, and futures.
The same collectivist impulse drives human rights commissions. These bodies treat visible minorities as weak and inferior by design, demanding conciliation over evidence and wielding powers that eclipse ordinary courts. Their workshops list “white” and “male” as unfair advantages while vague “disadvantages” multiply, all to justify redistributing wealth and opportunity by skin colour rather than behaviour.
Freedom of speech takes fresh hits when lawyers insist private magazines must surrender space for counter-articles they dislike. The Maclean’s case exposes the fiction that anyone possesses a right to hijack another’s platform at the owner’s expense.
Philosophy cuts through the fog on abortion as well. Life begins with self-sustaining action, rights attach to action, and no one may cross the boundary of another’s body—jurisdiction settles the matter where emotion cannot.
In a world obsessed with dividing people by the irrelevant, clear thinking about individual rights and objective principles proves just right.
