SAFS - Society for Academic Freedom & Scholarship - Frances Widdowson / Mark Mercer

Sidewalk chalk for SAFS.ca - Society for Academic Freedom & Scholarship - Canada - Mark Mercer shares letter from Frances Widdowson, MRU Alberta


Letters to the Editor
Globe and Mail, Saturday 17 August 2019
DIVERSITY IN ACADEMIA
I appreciated Margaret Wente’s column last Saturday, Diversity Runs Amok In Academia (Aug. 10). As a professor and a board member of the Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship, I can attest to the increasing prominence of diversicrats in every aspect of university life.
“Diversity” policies, which are driven by the ideology of the politics of identity and entitlement, exhibit classic rent-seeking behaviour. By putting up barriers to entry, dictating ideology tests for hiring, and “tying” academic objectives to diversity criteria, scarce university resources can be diverted to diversiphiles.
The widespread acceptance of postmodern relativism in the social sciences and humanities also undermines any appreciation of academic standards. As a result, a great deal of university activity is spent on indulging the grievances of favoured identity groups, rather than pursuing the truth and increasing empirical knowledge and theoretical understanding.
Frances Widdowson, associate professor, Mount Royal University, Calgary, Alberta

A few years ago I was going for a dog walk in downtown Sackville New Brunswick and as I walked up one side of Bridge Street I noticed a cafe goer was holding up her book that said "Diversity Building" ... later on the same walk back down on the opposite side of the street I walked past another cafe with another girl reading a book with a similar title about "Diversity" .. so I realize its a popular narrative that 'diversity is our strength' .. I realize this because my government is always saying it to me... university towns are educational; even off campus.

CANADA FIRST: ‘CANADA IN DECAY’ with Professor Ricardo Duchesne



Featured video with thanks to Faith J. Goldy, indie journalist with integrity.
/our girl/ .. and best-selling author and recently retired Ricardo Duchesne... was written up by David Solway in this article "Triggering The Academic Lynch Mob" .. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/06/triggering_the_academic_lynch_mob_.html

I wonder if the local Mount Allison University library has Ricardo's book?

Statement by Maxime Bermier, MP, Ottawa, Canada


"Trudeau keeps pushing his “diversity is our strength” slogan. Yes, Canada is a huge and diverse country. This diversity is part of us and should be celebrated. But where do we draw the line?
Diversity is what makes Canada strong: Trudeau
Ethnic, religious, linguistic, sexual and other minorities were unjustly repressed in the past. We’ve done a lot to redress those injustices and give everyone equal rights. Canada is today one of the countries where people have the most freedom to express their identity.
But why should we promote ever more diversity? If anything and everything is Canadian, does being Canadian mean something? Shouldn’t we emphasize our cultural traditions, what we have built and have in common, what makes us different from other cultures and societies?
Having people live among us who reject basic Western values such as freedom, equality, tolerance and openness doesn’t make us strong. People who refuse to integrate into our society and want to live apart in their ghetto don’t make our society strong.
Trudeau’s extreme multiculturalism and cult of diversity will divide us into little tribes that have less and less in common, apart from their dependence on government in Ottawa. These tribes become political clienteles to be bought with taxpayers $ and special privileges.
Cultural balkanisation brings distrust, social conflict, and potentially violence, as we are seeing everywhere. It’s time we reverse this trend before the situation gets worse. More diversity will not be our strength, it will destroy what has made us such a great country." -- Maxime Bermier, MP, Ottawa, Canada

Radical Liberal Norms That Lead To The Decline Of The West [ Red Ice / Duchesne 2017 ]

For 2017 radio interview with Sweden's Red Ice Henrik Palmgren... click  here

Ricardo Duchesne, Professor at The University of New Brunswick, Canada, is the author of The Uniqueness of Western Civilization (2011), and Faustian Man in a Multicultural Age, released in March 2017 by Arktos Books. He is one of the co-editors and principal writer of the blog Council of European Canadians. He just completed a manuscript with the tentative title "Mass Immigration, Diversity, and the Destruction of Canada". He is the only academic in Canada, and possibly the Western world, who rejects totally the diversification of Western nations in favour of European Ethnic Identity.

Professor Noel Ignatiev Hates Whites ~ Wants to Erase Whiteness....



I am on record in this region opposing known 'community leaders' and 'diversity builders' .. I believe they are deluded and destructive.. whether they realize it or not .. I oppose their social engineering and manipulation.



Keep in mind when you hear people speaking about 'diversity' what they mean .. they have a language all their own... please read this article .. and remember that whites are a very tiny minority on the planet.. whites have a right to exist .. whites have a right to be proud of their race and their accomplishments..

Council of European Canadians Is Not a "White Supremacist" Group

Council of European Canadians Is Not a "White Supremacist" Group [ click link for story ]

Large numbers of [muslim] families entering Canada as 'refugees' [with seven children for example] will change our demographics, forever.. its a simple alarming fact.


When is it OK for people to discuss immigration policy?
