“The men and women serving in the military shouldn’t have to undergo ‘social justice’ conditioning.”
“The purpose of the military is to protect Canada. This is a key detail that seems to be lost on Defence Minister Anita Anand, who has led the Canadian Armed Forces into a “culture change” that looks more like a Marxist cultural revolution focused on identity rather than class.
“This point was made obvious with the publication of the Department of National Defence’s “Anti-racism toolkit”.
“The toolkit contains propaganda intended to be used to instruct Canadian servicemembers about diversity, ‘equity’ and inclusion (DEI).
{‘Equity’ is a communist concept meaning ‘equality of outcome’.}
“It is the latest of a number of radical “culture change” measures taken by the department: in December, it hosted a talk by a {mixed-Race American} ‘social justice’ studies professor
https://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/faculty/rachel-zellars-eng.aspx
who claimed that Canada was “completely infected” by ‘white supremacy’;
{Of course she did… She co-founded the ‘Black Lives Matter Solidarity Fund Nova Scotia’.}
https://tnc.news/2023/01/05/national-defence-white-supremacy/
and in January, it gave a grant to a {‘Black’} political science professor and fellow in ‘Black’ excellence {?How ‘Black’?} to study ‘white supremacy’ {How ‘White’?} in the military.
{And he gets to bring all of his own racial biases into this so-called ‘study’.}
“It’s impossible that everyone in the military is a good egg, but I don’t buy the idea that a total cultural overhaul is needed just because a couple DEI activists said so.
“The toolkit was the latest make-work project produced by the Department of National Defence’s director of ‘anti-racism’ implementation.
{But it’s NOT ‘anti-racism’; it’s anti-‘White’. So-called ‘People of Colour’ are NEVER challenged on their own racism. We know that there is anti-‘Black’ racism in ‘Yellow’ cultures, and anti-‘Yellow’ racism in ‘Black’ cultures. We know that there is, within Islam alone, a deep racism – on both sides – between ‘Black’ and ‘Brown’ Muslims. I could go on and on…and since we’re importing immigrants with these prejudices from all corners of the world, what sense does it make to focus singularly on so-called ‘Whites’ if we’re ‘anti-racist’?}
“To get a sense of the values of the people who staff these roles, look no further than the LinkedIn page of the current interim director.
https://ca.linkedin.com/in/candice-ross-68314b1b3
“Recent activity includes the promotion of an “e-binder” containing profiles of ‘Black’ public servants to help hiring managers find people to promote (diversity {discrimination} targets are mandated in the federal government). That is the essence of anti-racism: ‘positive’ discrimination towards one group to level out the supposed advantage held by other groups.
“The ‘anti-racism’ director is tasked with supporting “organizational culture {d}evolution by elevating the defence team members’ awareness and understanding of racial equity issues through strategic communication tactics, resources, training and tools”. In other words, the role is that of a propagandist.
“A great example of what this work entails is the department’s anti-racism toolkit, starting with the lexicon guide. It lists 122 terms relating to gender, race and DEI — all cast with a heavy ‘social justice’ spin. It’s more appropriate for an undergraduate seminar on ‘critical race theory’ than the military.
This is from the Canadian federal government.
When reading this, please remember that ‘racialized’ is a code word that refers to everyone EXCEPT so-called ‘White’ people. With that in mind, when have you ever read a more racist document?
“For example, it incorrectly defines “equality” as the treatment of people that “brings about an equality of results” (that is the definition of {communist} “equity”); it adds elsewhere that believing in equality but not equity is ‘racist’. It states that ‘decolonization’ {‘de-modernization’}
“requires non-‘Indigenous’ individuals, governments, institutions and organizations to (help) ‘Indigenous’ peoples to reclaim all that was taken from them {!?!?!}.”
“‘Allyship’ is defined as an
“active, consistent and arduous practice of unlearning and re evaluating, in which a person in a position of privilege and power seeks to operate in solidarity with a ‘marginalized’ group”.
“‘Colour-blindness’, or refusing to see Race, according to the lexicon, can “foster the systematic denial of racial subordination”. ‘White’ is a “social colour” that comes with “unearned power, benefits, advantages”.
{Only American ‘Black’ ‘academics’ could have brought such nonsense to Canada.}
“It’s hard to see why any of this would be relevant to the Armed Forces, which should be focused on defending all Canadians equally.
“Like biologists describing how animals behave in the wild, the writers even describe “white fragility” as “a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable (for ‘white’ people {How ‘white’?}), triggering a range of defensive moves … such as anger, fear and guilt, and behaviours such as argumentation, silence and leaving the stress-inducing situation”. It’s a social science-fiction phenomenon that can’t be quantified in the real world.
“The toolkit’s “Guide to courageous conversations on racism and discrimination”
sets out a series of instructions for members of the military to preach to each other about DEI and ‘anti-racism’ (the practice of discrimination against groups that are considered “privileged” in the eyes of critical race theorists). It instructs service members to use the “BRAVE Framework”, which is essentially a formula for holding {communist} racial struggle sessions.
https://sloanreview.mit.edu/video/brave-conversations-about-race/
“Likewise, the toolkit’s “Anti-racism tips and tools” includes a section that politically spins the ‘Employment Equity Act’ — the federal law that requires every federal department, and any company that wishes to bid on big federal contracts, to have ‘diversity targets’ (quotas) for the workplace. The act has led to ‘white’ and/or male applicants to the military being de-prioritized in hiring {See below}, as well as Race-and-gender-specific job postings in other federal departments.
{These would be unConstitutional if Canada had a real Constitution.}
“The toolkit dismisses valid criticism of the law as a “myth” (the “fake news” defence).
“The Defence Department also launched an ‘anti-racism’ {An Orwellian term meaning ‘racist’} learning hub,
which links to a number of resources that preach ideology and direct defence staff to DEI training materials, including the {American} ‘Harvard Implicit Association Test’, a discredited type of test that supposedly measures ‘subconscious bias’.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8167921/
“Unfortunately, this kind of thing is becoming common in the federal public service: similar ideological instruction has been imported into the Canada School of Public Service,
https://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/anti-racism-eng.aspx
which provides a “standardized curriculum” for public servants. It’s a problem everywhere, but it’s especially insidious when the military is concerned.
“The men and women serving in the military shouldn’t have to undergo ‘social justice’ conditioning. They serve a supposedly apolitical body tasked with protecting the realm. Worse, the military is currently undergoing a recruitment and retention crisis — thousands of positions are unfilled
— and about 4,500 members can’t even find housing.
“It’s obvious that a good part of the Canadian Armed Forces’ culture problems stem from the fact that it can’t hold onto good people. The last thing the remaining service members need is a toolkit that promotes divisive identity politics — what they need is a unifying purpose and fair compensation.”

Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau
“Canada’s military is hurdling forward with a new “anti-racist” policy informed by the concepts of {neo-Marxist} ‘critical race theory’ and ‘white privilege’.
“The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has redefined being racist as anybody who believes in “equality but not equity” or those who “refuse to engage in self-reflection and education to address their own” supposedly-racist beliefs.
“This is according to the Department of National Defence’s (DND) Director of Anti-Racism Implementation’s “Anti-Racism Toolkit”, which is meant to be taught to {forced on} serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
“According to the CAF “people who are racist do not believe in equality of all persons, or believe in equality but not ‘equity’ (for example, do not support reconciliation efforts).” It also says that
“people who are racist deny the existence of unconscious bias and refuse to engage in self-reflection and education to address their own biases and racist beliefs”.
{Are you speaking of yourselves???}
“A separate “anti-racism lexicon” meant to guide CAF members includes a host of far-Left terminology with specific reference to “critical race theory” – the idea that colour-blindness is a form of racism {Only racists could come up with such illogic} – and “white fragility”.
{“‘White fragility’ is what so-called ‘whites’ are accused of when they point out the anti-‘white’ racism of so-called ‘People of Colour’ and mentally- disturbed, self-loathing ‘whites’.}
“Colour-blindness or colour evasion is the insistence that one does not notice or see skin colour or race {Which is REAL ‘anti-racism’} that can foster the systematic denial of racial subordination and the psychological repression of an individual’s recognition of that subordination, thereby allowing such subordination to continue”,
writes the CAF.
“On the controversial practice of “critical race theory”, the CAF instructs members that it means
“the core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and structures and perpetuates racial inequities”.
“The CAF also hopes to have members instilled with the concepts of “white privilege” and “white fragility” which means the
“state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable [for white people], triggering a range of defensive moves”.
{Racism SHOULD be intolerable to ALL people. Only ‘People of Colour’ racists – and Canadian government agencies – seem to think that it’s their right to be racist.}
“For some time now, the CAF has attempted to instill policies informed by the {phony} precepts of ‘diversity, ‘equity’ and inclusion’. As exclusively reported by True North, internal communications from the DND show a military preoccupied with ‘critical race theory’ and hosting “drag queen bingo” for soldiers.”

“To further its ‘cultural transformation’, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) seeks to screen individuals before or after recruitment for “problematic attitudes” by using new tools, including a database of symbols built with outside expertise.
“Improving screening to detect actual Neo-Nazis or terrorist sympathizers {No mention of Communists} will protect the organization, but the issue can become very political if the frame of reference is built on the government-of-the-day’s list of what is considered acceptable views and what isn’t.
{Which is what seems to have already happened…}
“DND would not share the work that’s been done so far and could not provide a timeline for when it will enter use to screen applicants and recently-accepted members.
“A symbology dataset was created and will be continually updated, in consultation with, or outsourced to, external ‘experts’, to increase CAF recruiters’ awareness of extremist, racist, discriminatory, or hateful conduct {Unless from a Leftist or ‘marginalized’ group}, or other ‘unacceptable attitudes’ {“Unacceptable” to whom?} that are displayed through applicant tattoos and body adornments”,
the organization wrote in its December response to Louise Arbour’s report.
“This was to specifically address recommendation 22 of the report, which states that the
“CAF should put new processes in place to ensure that problematic attitudes on cultural and gender-based issues are both assessed and appropriately dealt with at an early stage, either pre- or post-recruitment”.
“The report identified the issues, but said
“questions remain about ways to screen for inappropriate or dangerous beliefs, morals, and cultural views”.
“Arbour, a former {Leftist} judge of the Supreme Court, had been tasked with conducting a review of the CAF with regards to sexual and other types of misconduct. The report was tabled in May, 2022.
“Defence Minister Anita Anand said in December her department accepted all of the report’s 48 recommendations and that implementation work had started on 17 of them.
“While DND said in its December response the symbology dataset had been created, the department now says it is more in the embryonic phase.
“Work on the symbology dataset is preliminary at this point in time… Many details about how it will be developed, including which external experts will be consulted or outsourced, are still to be determined”,
spokesperson Derek Abma told The Epoch Times.
“Attempts by the ‘Liberal’ {Party} government to regulate what it considers ‘unsavoury’ has been met with criticism and has also backfired recently. Heritage Canada had hired consultant Laith Marouf and his group Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC) to conduct ‘anti-racism’ workshops. Marouf was then revealed to be himself a virulent anti-Semite, calling Jews “bags of human feces”.
“The federal government also funded an “anti-racism” toolkit for schools that ‘Conservative’ {Party} MP Leslyn Lewis called “shockingly hateful”.
“That ‘toolkit’ says that Canada’s former flag, the Red Ensign, is a “hate-promoting symbol”, and that alt-Right ‘white’ nationalists “sometimes attempt to infiltrate mainstream ‘Conservative’ political parties to influence change”.
“The federal government provided $268,400 to the {Orwellian-named} ‘Canadian Anti-Hate Network’ (CAHN) {A Leftist hate group} to help with its project.”

“At least 10,000 positions across the CAF are empty, representing one in 10 roles. The chief of defence staff has warned it will get worse before it gets better.
“Our readiness is going down within the Canadian Armed Forces. The military we have today is not the one we need for the future.”
{Then why are you making it worse?}
…
“In spite of signing bonuses of up to $20,000 based on a candidate’s qualifications, the Forces have been unable to replace members who leave.
“Those who join the military have historically signed a multi-year contract, and the CAF says it has found such a commitment can be a barrier in attracting recruits… New recruits are sped through basic training in eight weeks and then cycled through different job types through the remainder of the year, including fast-tracked efforts to get new recruits on a ship at sea as quickly as possible. At the end, they can sign on to the regular force as full-time members or reservists, or leave altogether, with no strings attached…
“Nearly one-third of applicants identify as ‘visible minorities’ {See below} or ‘Indigenous’ {sic}, a key priority for the military.
(Canadian Aboriginals are ‘Indigenous’ to Siberia and Mongolia.}

And from the U.S.:
United States Marine Corps tweeted a photo for Pride Month with rainbow bullets. (United States Marine Corps)
“The Biden administration’s experiment with ‘woke’ initiatives promoting diversity and ‘equity’ is undermining the warfighting ability of the U.S. armed forces, according to a new report by Republican lawmakers.
“It accuses the military’s political leaders of trying to indoctrinate the next generation of commanders with Left-wing ideas.
‘Our military’s singular purpose is to “provide for the common defense” of our nation‘,
says the report authored by Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Chip Roy.
‘It cannot be turned into a Left-wing social experiment. It cannot be used as a cudgel against America itself. And it cannot be paralyzed by fear of offending the sensibilities of Ivy League faculty lounges or progressive pundits. The world is a dangerous place, and the Biden Administration’s insanity is eroding our greatest source of security in it.’
“Their report describes how the armed forces have devoted resources to tackling extremism in the ranks, training personnel in the use of pronouns, and allowing service members to transition gender – when the list of disqualifying medical conditions for includes the use of ‘Invisalign’ braces.
“But it reserves particular ire for anti-racism programs which the authors say are irrelevant in an outfit which already acts as an egalitarian institution, where the only thing that matters is the ability to fight alongside comrades.
“It says the dependence on ‘critical race theory’ has promoted anti-‘white’ views and lists examples.
‘An admiral told midshipmen at the Naval Academy that they need to read “How to Be an Antiracist” – a book that teaches that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination”, that capitalism is racist, and that people by virtue of their race are inherently oppressive or privileged while others are inherently victimized or oppressed‘,
the authors write.
“Rubio said the initiatives were all a distraction from the main aim of the armed forces.
‘Rather than making the case for American greatness and protecting our nation, the military is parroting woke nonsense‘,
he told Fox News Digital.
‘It’s dumb, it doesn’t work, and it’s dangerous. We need to spend more time thinking about how to counter Chinese aircraft carriers and less time thinking about pronouns.’
“The report goes on to describe teaching materials used at the West Point military academy.
‘A slide for a class at West Point obtained by Freedom of Information requests argues that “white people and people of color live racially different structured lives”,’
the report says.
‘The slide goes on to list three characteristics of whiteness, describing it as “a location of structural advantage [and] race privilege,” “a standpoint or place from which white people look at themselves and the rest of society,” and “a set of cultural practices that are usually unmarked and unnamed”.’
{This is quite simply racist propaganda produced by ‘Black’ racists. How come no one is calling it what it is?}
“The Pentagon has repeatedly pushed back against such criticism, saying it does not teach ‘critical race theory’ – more usually understood as a neo-Marxist framework for analyzing how history has been shaped by notions of Race – and that it seeks to eliminate extremism {‘Whiteness’} among recruits.”

And:
“Republican Sen. Tom Cotton said America’s troops are being indoctrinated with the lie that “the entire U.S. army is racist’” and that the country they represent is
“a fundamentally racist and evil nation”.
“I have received, along with Congressman Crenshaw, several hundred whistleblower complaints about Pentagon extremist and diversity training”,
Cotton said Thursday during a Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing.
“Cotton reported these trainings are leading to
“plummeting morale, growing mistrust between the races and sexes where none existed just six months ago, and unexpected retirements and separations”.
“These are not my words”,
Cotton emphasized,
“These are the words of your own troops”.
“Cotton said officers are leaving their positions, in response to the indoctrination:
“One marine told us that […] a military history training session was replaced with mandatory training on police brutality, white privilege, and systemic racism. He reported that several officers are now leaving his unit, citing that training”.
“He continued to provide additional examples of military-promoted racism:
“Another service member told us that their unit was required to read “White Fragility” by {notorious self-loathing racist} Robin DiAngelo which claims, and this is a quote, “white people raised in western society are conditioned into a white supremacist worldview”. A member of the special operations community has told us that they are being instructed that, quote, “the U.S. special operations community is racist”.”
“Such stories are just the tip of the iceberg. Cotton told the story of one Airman who said his unit was forced to participate in “a racist exercise called a ‘privilege walk’, where members of the wing were ordered to separate themselves by race and gender, in order to stratify people based on their perceived ‘privilege’.”
“Troops are increasingly being judged and dehumanized by their immutable characteristics, rather than be celebrated for the skills they bring to the job. Cotton shared a quote from an African American officer who said, “The navy thinks my only value is as a black woman”, and “not the fact that she is a highly trained military specialist”, he added…
“Cotton later tweeted that
“There is no place for toxic critical race theory in our military”.
