Thank you for your courage. Those who speak the Truth are often the most hated. Excellent boxing image!

Even Kafka would have a hard time surpassing this. Canada the nation and western academia the institution have abandoned intellectual rigor and the pursuit of knowledge and truth. You sir, were an obstacle in their way in pursuit of their new cultural revolution in the mold of Chairman Mao.

My head is still spinning. And the person who supervised this was a crap academic (not that I’m much of one). I’ve never seen so many PhDs with undeveloped consciences. Did you write that satire on how to respond to anti Semitism?

A Ghost In The Machine's avatar

I don’t know what you’re referring to regarding the satire. I’ve got a doctorate in law, I tell this to everyone I meet who’s automatically impressed that I’m an attorney and living in a small rural community there are very few of us; don’t be impressed. Make up your own judgement by what I say, I know a lot of attorneys and they’re so stupid I wonder who ties their shoelaces for them in the morning. You see the highest concentration of them in the judiciary. People mistake education for intelligence.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m a parent of 4 anticipating university entrances for my crew in upcoming years.

I have been appalled at the overt antisemitism in our Canadian colleges and universities, revealed since Oct 7, 2023. There are so many layers of Jew hatred embedded in our Canadian institutions like unions, political parties, schools, associations, etc that I was fully unaware of as a non-Jewish person until these past few years.

I’m incredibly disturbed for my children’s future that this is the Canada they are inheriting. I try to speak up as much as I can against this hatred. To me, “anti-Zionism” is the new polite and politically correct term of the same old ancient scourge of hatred - antisemitism.

Thank you for writing about your awful experience and thank you for your moral courage.

I followed your posts when you were first suspended. You have shown amazing courage and tenacity in this battle. It would be “unbelievable “ that this should happen, unless we knew the early history of anti-semitism with our ignominious prime minister refusing to allow Jews to enter Canada at the Avian meeting. There is really something rotten at your former university. I do hope this reaches higher levels of exposure. Try Terry Glavin. “ The Real Story” I will repost and do what I can.

I love Terry. He’s the best writer at the post. I’m still fighting but nobody fights back - they just run away a stick knives in my back. I really believe how we treat Jews is a measure of the moral health of the nation. And Canada is not healthy

Thank you for the compliment, it is still like a bad dream

What has happened to you is beyond outrageous.

The institutional structures arrayed against you describe a proto-communist state. True, we're not in Stalinist Russia here, not quite. But all the elements are there, and the direction is explicit - we are going further down this road, probably much further, and during your lifetime.

You are young enough and presumably have the resources that offer you choices, and they amount to getting out. Either to Alberta where you can enlist in the separatist cause and fight for a truly free and liberal (read, conservative today) society, or move to the US.

You have tasted the New Canada under Liberal governments and institutions. It's hard to see a place for you within it.

You’re a remarkable person who should never have been treated this way. It’s infuriating that the admin, HR were so derelict in their duties. I would try to sue the university, the union and that odious professor into bankruptcy for defamation, constructive dismissal, and more. Of course, in the ilLiberal Party’s Kanada, I fear the result wouldn’t be what’s legal or righteous either.

Freedom To Offend's avatar

Thx. Because of being unionized, even though my union opseu has abandoned me I can’t sue. When your union dumps you because of politics you have really been thrown to the wolves. What annoys me is the hypocrisy- they are so cruel, I had trauma based injury from their defamation and they didn’t care a bit. They wear orange tshirts on aboriginal day but it’s only a pr stunt- under it all they are the most inhumane of people.

Mallary S's avatar

So unfair in so many ways. I'm really sorry you had to go through this nightmare.

Obviously there is a lot to unpack here but simply put you are a victim of a hate campaign throughout that institution. Aside from legal options, what else can be done? We share, we like, we comment, we support. But is there any chance to salvage your reputation?

Barb Kay is working on a piece. That is my only hope. They let me talk to her from jail. 😸

Firstly, I apologize that I can only afford one month of the subscription.

Your story reminds me of the Dreyfus trial—another “canary in the coal mine” moment that is being brushed aside far too easily. Is there no Canadian “Alan Dershowitz” in the entire country that is willing to take this to the Supreme Court? It is unfathomable that not a single law firm that claims a commitment to justice and truth is willing to defend the very principles that uphold a liberal democratic society, by taking your case.

Modern Academia isn't Academic is all vile left woke trans pally Marxist ideology

and to be differentiated from that your a outcast , who would go to university now !

B Smith's avatar

Who would go to University now? Brownshirts.

Freedom To Offend's avatar

I’m not impressed with university at all. It’s the new high school

B Smith's avatar

Yes, and high school is the new middle school. And administration? A 40’s Soviet Commissariat.

Canada is embracing the Cultural Revolution.

What a spineless, villainous Union you faced. If you get no justice in CA, send some résumés to Texas schools- and God bless.

Talk to Alan Dershowitz. You'll need the best legal advice here to make it into an example, that will pave the way for a change.

Remember to record ANY phone call.

Freedom To Offend's avatar

I wish I had done that. You are on point. I don’t lie and I expected my union to do the same. Now opseu 562 and their lawyers are openly lying about things their executive said on the phone. I reached out to Alan and he didn’t respond. I’ll try again.

Canada is lost and it happened so quickly.
