University of Alberta women’s and gender studies professor Lise Gotell insulted Premier Danielle Smith for going to various events in small towns.

While Smith was going to small town events, Gotell noted many of the attendees were white.

“Premier Smith updates us on her tour of white Alberta,” tweeted Gotell on Sunday.

Since she had received backlash for her comments, she said she “never thought I would live in a Canada in which racists would be so emboldened.” She called for people to read the replies with caution.

Gotell was commenting on Smith saying she was having a great weekend, which she kicked off by participating in the Westlock and District Agricultural Fair Parade with Alberta United Conservative Party MLA Glenn van Dijken (Athabasca-Barrhead-Westlock).

“Then I headed to Drayton Valley to meet constituents at the Small Town Big Life Party with MLA Andrew Boitchenko,” she said.

Beltline Urban Society President Rob Taylor said Gotell’s comment was an ugly remark to make for no good reason.

“You must be a deeply hate filled person,” said Taylor.

Former Calgary Herald publisher Peter Menzies said he was stunned.

“University prof,” said Menzies.

This ordeal comes after a U of A professor was awarded a grant from the Department of National Defence in 2023 to assess the extent of white supremacy in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

U of A political science professor Andy Knight will look into how entrenched radicalization, antisemitism, xenophobia, and anti-black sentiments are in the CAF and devise policy suggestions based on his findings.

He would produce a 25-minute documentary about his research.

Bruce Pardy: Notwithstanding the Charter, Neither Legislatures nor Courts Protect Individual Liberties in Canada

In September, the federal government urged the Supreme Court of Canada to protect rights by limiting the use of the Charter’s “notwithstanding clause.” Two days later, it introduced Bill C-9, the “Combatting Hate Act,” which will infringe upon free speech. The bill does not invoke the notwithstanding clause. It does not need to. The Supreme Court has already done the dirty work by declaring, years ago, that prohibiting “hate speech” is constitutional.

In Canada, who protects individual liberties? Not legislatures. Not courts.

The notwithstanding clause is Section 33 of the Charter. It allows provincial legislatures and Parliament to pass laws that might infringe the rights in Sections 2 and 7 to 15. Invoking the clause prevents courts from striking down the statute as unconstitutional. Activists have long sought to discredit and delegitimize the ...

Mamdani is certainly bad for NYC, but big picture, he might be the best thing possible for Trump/MAGA.

Why? Mamdani is going to give Trump the necessary optics to justify going into NYC and other cities with NG/ICE.

Mamdani personifies the most radical elements of the Left. He is essentially a walking proof that Trump is right about the Democrats and their party’s trajectory.

Mamdani is going to be a walking red-pill machine. He is going to give Trump all the headlines and talking points to justify Trump’s ultimate goal, which is deploying NG/ICE, deporting the illegals, passing voter ID, arresting the treasonous coup-plotters, and saving the Republic.

Mamdani is a gift to Trump and MAGA.
