Their wordsThat’s not negligence. That’s not institutional failure. That’s collusion with the worst of men—in the service of an illusory, even fraudulent multicultural peace. Let us be crystal clear: the ethnic, cultural, and religious dimensions of both the perpetration and the cover-up are central, not incidental, to this story; their recognition is necessary to understanding how it happened and preventing its return.

Their wordsAnd, with regard to that distinction: I have come to conclude, after much detailed consideration (informed by my professional training and experience as researcher and clinician), that the climate doomsayers are possessed by an ideology much more akin to a psychogenic epidemic than they are purveyors of any information remotely scientific.

Their wordsThis is par for the course in his new “outsider” administration, which is composed in its entirety of the same ideologically addled and miserable miscreants who led Canada to the very edge of economic and political destruction over the last ten years.

Their wordsTo put it bluntly: Canada is not thriving. On the economic side, we in the Great White North are now less productive, per capita, than the inhabitants of Mississippi, the least productive American state.

Their wordsI warned the Canadian Senate at the time of Bill C16’s passing, which I publicly objected to (at the cost of the demolition of my professorial and professional life), informing the rude and dismissive good-thinkers in that august institution that their virtue-signalling law would not only threaten free speech – as it has – but produce a positive epidemic of psychopathology among, in particular, young women.

Their wordsYet, troublesome though the impact of such accelerated immigration may be, it is by no means the main reason why Hamas has acquired so much support. It is instead the careless naivete and sheer blind heedlessness of the West in dealing with one of its most deadly national foes – Iran – in combination with the destructive ideological reaction presently threatening our culture to the core.

Their wordsIt seems to me that the identifying factors of the radical left types that dominate the humanities and social sciences (and, increasingly, the HR departments of corporations) most particularly constitute the mantra of Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity (DIE).

Their wordsThird, the net effect of these Guidelines will be to radically decrease the probability that any man or boy with any sense will go anywhere near an APA-approved psychologist, or dare as an ambitious and interested undergraduate to enroll in an APA-approved clinical psychology program (which are already, by the way, overwhelming dominated at the graduate school level by women).
