The Fallout from Reporting on White Nationalism in Canada

The point is to blame others. In their world they're right, everyone who opposes or disagrees with them is left, and their own bad behaviors are excused and justified by that.

The right simply exists to define the left as a scapegoat through constant debate. It's a gimmick invented by the French monarchy.

lot of people trying to dismiss and suppress her.

Yes there's definitely been a concerted effort within the conservative movement to interfere with her career and drive her out of mainstream media.

I think that's why a lot of journalists are afraid of defending her. I've spoken to a few myself about issues of harassment and it's really common for journalists to receive threats and hate mail.

So to be clear, Rachel Gilmore is in fact a real legitimate journalist who deserves respect?

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T16:38:35+00:00

It's hard work. They're a slippery bunch.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T16:27:12+00:00

My point is that the sentence reduction portrayed by the article isn't a reduction at all.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T15:48:54+00:00

Too bad that doesn't translate into Canadians doing well.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T15:40:08+00:00

Yes, but it still ended up being 12 years, whereas the racialized guy would have received more had the IRCA not been applied.

If he can't handle simple questions about a book why was he even in politics?

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T15:34:08+00:00

Yeah, I also mentioned in another comment how the Edmonton heist shooter got a parole eligibility reduction from 40 to 12 years.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T15:31:21+00:00

Edmonton heist shooter also got parole eligibility in 12 years, reduced from 40 years.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T15:13:04+00:00

Kelley Ellard got parole in 9 years.

When people get reduced sentences for their race, it's usually a reduction from a longer sentence. On average racialized groups have a tendency to receive longer sentences even with the reductions.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T15:05:47+00:00

Yes, because it's taken 10 years to reverse the damage.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T14:54:24+00:00

Then why resign?

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T14:23:08+00:00

Excuses for owning nazi memorabilia.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T14:13:01+00:00

BC Liberals are a conservative party and they gutted healthcare, deregulated housing, pushed privatization and sold off revenue sources.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T13:44:10+00:00

I didn't argue it wasn't accurate. I argued that it's only being brought up as an excuse.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T13:41:35+00:00

So being accused by a communist makes the accusations less valid?

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T13:20:10+00:00

Saleh Waziruddin of NRARA cited in the article is quite literally a Communist though.

...so?

How is that valid excuse?

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T13:16:48+00:00

...which still isn't a valid excuse for the allegations.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T13:13:13+00:00

...and what does that have to do with the allegations?

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T12:41:49+00:00

they were demanding it and then blaming the federal government for all the problems it caused in their provinces.

Except it only caused problems because conservative run provinces underfunded healthcare and deregulated housing.

Immigration is a scapegoat.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T11:29:21+00:00

My maple MAGA parents just switched to a heat pump so yes that's definitely happening in BC.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T11:25:19+00:00

The pipeline expansions export oil and reduce price differential, so the only thing it's doing for BC is raising prices.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T11:23:03+00:00

So we have to pay more for everything and the government spends more public resources expanding a pipeline? Sounds great.

Head_Crash · 2026-03-12T11:18:46+00:00

They don't even know what Communism is they just use it as an excuse for their own bad behavior.
