Every time the Western world gets frontlashed by Islamic terrorism, the mainstream media runs to dig up signs of a "backlash" on the mean streets of Canada.
This week, ever since the Paris terror attacks, the media has been tripping over itself, trying to find confirmation of their opinion that white, conservative Canada is racist, reactionary and violent.
Here’s what they’ve found so far:
Dateline: Peterborough, a small town East of Toronto known primarily as a coffee stop on the way to the Kawartha Lakes cottage country, and as the hub of the ex-urban retirement community boom
The night after the Paris ISIS attacks, a suspicious fire occurred in the town’s only mosque after what appeared to be forced-entry through a rear window. No one was hurt, no one has claimed responsibility, the police have no suspects, no witnesses have come forward, and the community has already raised 50% more funds than were needed to repair the damage.
Dateline: Kitchener, a small city west of Toronto best known for being a small city west of Toronto.
The door of a Hindu temple was vandalized the night after the Paris ISIS attacks. No one was hurt, no one has claimed responsibility, the police have no suspects, no witnesses have come forward, and no one can answer why someone would attack a Hindu temple if they were looking to backlash against Muslims.
Dateline: Toronto’s Flemingdon Park neighbourhood, home to the largest concentration of Muslim immigrants in Canada.
A hijab-wearing woman claims that, at 3:00 pm Monday, on a sidewalk between her apartment and her childrens’ school, two white men attacked her from behind, called her a terrorist, beat her in the stomach, and stole her cell phone. The woman has refused to be identified and refuses to be interviewed by the media. She was taken to the hospital for examination and released the same day. No suspects have been identified, no witnesses have come forward, and all security camera footage viewed by the police so far has “not been helpful”.
Either we old-stock Canadians really suck at our backlashing skills, or we continue to prove that, as a rule, we just don’t do that kind of thing.
Yet politicians seem to want to insist that we do, giving benefit of the doubt to those who want to pin these alleged crimes on traditional Canadian society.
From somewhere in the air between Turkey and the Phillippines, new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chose to weigh in against the racists and Islamophobes backlashing against the Muslim community.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, a trained lawyer, joined in on the fun, railing against “vigilante retribution” despite the obvious lack of evidence.
And Mayor John Tory, the ultimate member of Toronto’s old-stock white-privilege society, used the opportunity to make a photo-op appearance at the local public school, exploiting the “Islamophobia” narrative to pander to the local activists.
Does the media really believe that white Canada is ready to explode in backlash against Islamist assaults overseas?
Perhaps they do, betraying their own bias against middle-class “old-stock” Canadian culture.
Do politicians really think it’s wise to exploit unproven allegations for perceived political gain? Apparently so, unconcerned that their actions simply divide and inflame divisions in the very land they are supposed to unite.
Do Muslim community organizers think there’s something to be gained by having incidents like these reported in a particular way, to maximum negative implication against their host Canadian society?
On that one, you can be the judge.

Immediately everybody will agree those whites are a bad group. (sarc)
Socialists ghetto-ize immigrants to control voting with a stronger hand. Socialists go to “ghetto-ized leaders” to steer voter choices – less work, less cost for the few that control Canada, namely the Demarais and Dussault Montreal families.
Assimilation / melting pot is a huge success in the US and the UK has already stated that multi culturalism is a failure.
Here’s a few of Trudeau’s phobia’s: Englishphobia, Patriotphobia, Intelligentphobia, Trustphobia.
And your sophistry… breathtaking. Who doesn’t live happily in our small “l” liberal society, consuming public goods and participating in recycling, reading rags like the Globe and National Post, trying to separate the wheat from the chaff of everyday life? To do so while taking a comprehensive view of a bigger picture, and arriving at a conclusion consistent with one’s own life experience (and presumably one at odds with your precious existence) is in no way a sell-out or manipulation. I guess your stereotype of what you apparently see as the great unwashed on this site doesn’t allow you to contemplate that not only Neil, Ezra and Brian have the capacity for rational thought.
As a stereotyping elitist, you too do not disappoint.
Koran Surahs:
Koran 2:191 “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.”
Koran 3:28 “Moslems must not take the infidels as friends.”
Koran 3:85 “Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.”
Koran 5:33 “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticise Islam.”
Koran 8:12 “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”
Koran 8:60 “Moslems must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.”
Koran 8:65 “The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Moslems to fight them.”
Koran 9:5 “When opportunity arises kill the infidels wherever you catch them.”
Koran 9:29 “Fight those people of the Book (Jews and Christians) who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, do not refrain from what has been prohibited by Allah and His Rasool and do not embrace the religion of truth (Islam), until they pay the Halal Certification Tax (protection tax or jizya) with their own hands and feel themselves subdued.”
Koran 9:30 “The Jews and Christians are perverts; fight them.”
Koran 9:123 “Make war on the infidels living in your neighbourhood.”
Koran 22:19 “Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies.”
Koran 47:4 “Do not hanker for peace with infidels; behead them when you catch them.”
Google “The Koran” and look them up. This protest is a “wake up to what Islam is about”, Islam is NOT the religion of peace, is it?
BAN THE CULTURE OF DEATH, the deadly criminal organization called ISLAM.
Remember back when you started? You were so wide-eyed, earnest and innocent. Remember you actually made real claims, definitive statements – but then you sadly backed them up with weak data and faulty analysis and got humiliatingly owned by real journalists in the MSM.
But good for you – you didn’t give up and you’ve progressed since then.
Today it’s just a nice sprinkling of name calling, the keywords “media party” and “old stock Canadians”, closing with a few rhetorical questions and equally rhetorical answers – all safely couched in equivocal words like “seems”, “perhaps”, “maybe” – and finally the sign off … sticking two fingers firmly in your mouth and blowing that shrill dog whistle: “You be the judge”
Here, boy, come on, I have ad-clicks to sell, meaningless surveys to fill … oh … and Ezra needs more money for his new espresso maker – I mean, it’s for a professional survey.
For all you Rebels that may not have picked it up … the fearless Flagg never did say the fire wasn’t started by some angry, bigoted arson who wanted to show those nasty others just how we do things in Canada. He didn’t claim the woman who was beaten and hospitalized was lying. He never said her alleged attackers – alleged men – alleged white men – who allegedly committed the alleged crime were … well … just a ruse – all made up.
No … he left that to you, Peter and Hyacinth and Deborah (and the rest of you more silent minority).
And as usual you did not disappoint.
You see, I’ve met and spoken with Neil and Ezra and Brian – and they are actually fairly intelligent people. They do know the difference between facts and hearsay. They understand the world has never been black or white. And they get that Muslims are no more criminal than Jews, Christians, or those that worship the Norse Gods.
They also live quite happily in our liberal, progressive democracy. They and their families readily consume public services and use public infrastructure (or as Neil loves to say, “they suck shamelessly from the tax-funded teat”). They worry about global warming, they recycle, they read the Globe and Mail and the National Post (not, admittedly, The Star), they recognize the Fords are, of course, in it for themselves, and they’re pretty impressed with our young Prime Minister Trudeau and his performance so far.
But as you can see, they also understand how to spin a story, how to feign outrage, how to allude, and suggest. They know how to dissemble and they know how to point out hypocrisy even as they trip over their own gross contradictions.
Mostly what they know is how to manipulate people who are intellectually lazy or intellectually dishonest. They know how to attract and exploit people who suffer the fear, frustration and alienation that ignorance feeds. They know just how to make a buck from those who can’t manage the cognitive effort that our complex world demands, those who would otherwise feel entirely misunderstood, unsupported, and unaccepted in mainstream society.
And you do not disappoint.
The fire could have been deliberately, the victim card is one of the progressive tools most commonly used. I had not considered an insurance claim, but it is possible that they could benefit from it monetarily as well.
For years all we heard from the left were taunts and slanderous assaults that Harper was a dictator, a Nazi, etc. and yet who honestly fits/fulfills those slanderous comments? Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party no less. The irony is so lost on the Liberal sheep that it is funny.
Perhaps “sheep” is not an accurate enough term, sheep can be found, a lemming would be more apt. The Urban Dictionary defines a Lemming as: A member of a crowd with no originality or voice of his own. One who speaks or repeats only what he has been told. A tool. A cretin.
