The University of Alberta is my alma mater. What the actual fuck is going on at this institution? The University of Alberta’s Sexual Assault Centre signed a letter that denies the rape and sexual violence against Israeli women on October 7th, 2023 – the day when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel. This incident of anti-antisemitism and misogyny was reported in the Toronto Sun.
“The University of Alberta Sexual Assault Centre has signed onto an open letter penned by ousted Ontario MPP Sarah Jama that denies Israeli women were subjected to rape and sexual violence on Oct. 7.”
Let’s take a look at the open letter and see exactly what the Woke Left or the so called progressives are calling for:
“Residing in so called Canada” – This is plainly expressed hatred of a Western Nation and its values. This is what the activist Left are about – the tearing down of Western society and hatred for the values the West holds.
And there we have it black and white – Let me quote it for you. “Meanwhile, Jagmeet Singh repeated the unverified accusation that Palestinians were guilty of sexual violence…“
Keep reading these depraved individuals somehow think they are on the side of morality and justice – while calling Canada a settler-colonial country. Which country on earth hasn’t been settled at one time or another. This bullshit anti-colonialism is nothing but a rancid attempt at justifying violence but making it sound “progressive”. It is shit from stem to stern.
Note the unironic use of the phrase “right side of history…”
And there we have it. The University of Alberta Sexual Assault Centre signature on a letter endorsing the idea that Jewish women lied about the sexual violence and rape perpetrated against them by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, 2023.
Nothing short of the executive resigning in disgrace will be acceptable.
The response in the West to the Hamas terror attack and kidnapping of Israeli citizens is worth analyzing. Major Western institutions lent their support to the cause of “Free Palestine” and the like. It seems a bit off target to me, as better messaging would focus on Hamas freeing the hostages and surrendering the individuals responsible for committing gross acts of terror and barbarity against a civilian population.
In most of the protest coverage I’ve seen there has been little to no call for accountability upon the elected government of Gaza (Hamas). What I have seen and heard are slogans around the theme of “Palestine from the River to the Sea.”

The Jordan River is a winding, 200-plus-mile run to the east of Israel and the West Bank. The sea is the glittering Mediterranean to its west. But a phrase about the space in-between, “from the river to the sea,” has become a battle cry with new power to roil Jews and pro-Palestinian activists in the aftermath of Hamas’ murderous rampage across southern Israel Oct. 7 and Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.

So, from “The River to the Sea” is the complete erasure of the state of Israel and the expulsion/decimation of the Jewish people that live there. You would think that people involved in protests that used this slogan would be horrified and not participate in protests calling for genocide. The sentiment was repeated by union leaders in Canada:
“Mr. Hahn, whose CUPE Ontario represents almost 300,000 workers and calls itself the “political wing of the Canadian Union of Public Employees,” said in one social-media post on Sunday, the day after the initial attacks, that he was thankful for “the power of resistance around the globe.”
He added that “resistance is fruitful and no matter what some might say, resistance brings progress.” He also shared an image on Instagram that contained the text, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” – a phrase associated with calls for the destruction of Israel.
On Tuesday, Mr. Ford condemned Mr. Hahn’s posts. Mr. Ford said in a statement that he does not believe Mr. Hahn’s views reflect those of the tens of thousands of workers represented by the union.
“The comments by the president of CUPE Ontario glorifying and celebrating the rape, abduction and murder of innocent Israeli people are disturbing, and I denounce them wholeheartedly,” the statement said.”
Yeah. Canadian Universities were also getting in on celebrating or at least not speaking out against the rape, abduction, and murder of innocent people. (Some American Universities were also complicit.)
“A statement from McMaster began with the phrase, “Violence is never the answer and we hope that everyone would focus on the human costs when such attacks on civilians occur.” It added: “Our thoughts are with our students, faculty and staff, both Israeli and Palestinian, who have family and loved ones in the area.” An initial statement from the University of Toronto expressed concern for the safety of students and faculty in the Middle East, and those who have friends or family there.
Several social-media users reacted with outrage to the statements, which they characterized as inappropriately ambivalent. Andrew Morris, a professor at the University of Toronto’s faculty of medicine, was among them.”
One would think that it would be a fairly easy slam dunk to condemn actions that included the rape, torture and kidnapping of civilians. For the record –
“According to the Israeli prime minister’s office, more than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel, with 6,900 others injured. At least 32 of those killed are Americans. And Israeli officials say 239 people are being held hostage in Gaza. Ten Americans remain unaccounted for, “some significant number” of which are hostages, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Oct. 24. Israeli officials say 357 IDF soldiers have been killed since Oct. 7, including 39 since the ground campaign began.”
Canadian Unions and Universities dropped the ball on this one and at least three are being taken to court for their lack of action on antisemitism.
Hopefully the lawsuits will be a reminder to them of the Western values they should be defending.
“Alberta’s premier leads a party whose most active members almost unanimously want the province to refuse to house trans women in women’s prisons, and require schools to tell parents if their children want to secretly change their pronouns, as New Brunswick and Saskatchewan have controversially done.
United Conservative Party members also voted unanimously at their convention to eradicate diversity and inclusion offices at universities and colleges, ban safe drug consumption sites, and prohibit electronic vote tabulators — on suspicion that election tampering may happen (or already has).”
The Alberta UCP is fighting back against the activist Left in our institutions. Let’s hope that these policy directions are not diluted once they hit cabinet. 12:58 in the video where Smith defends and advocates for parental rights.
This just nails what the post modern Left has become. Deplatforming and deliberately not dealing with facts.
Two views on the current state of the West. Both share a fairly grim tone. We need to as nations of the West turn things around. The classical liberal* principles that our societies were founded on need to be restored and refreshed in their primacy of how we exist as people in society.
There are competing narratives of how we are supposed to advance society, I think if we stray from the path we’re on we going to be in trouble.
*Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism which advocates free market and laissez-faire economics; and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech
