Why is Critical Race Theory So Controversial? Canada Strong and Free Network 2023-02-22 | Critical race theorists have accumulated significant influence over many Canadian institutions, as shown by the pervasiveness of terms like “white privilege” and “systemic racism.”The historic Empire Club of Canada has even chosen to advocate for CRT to be taught in public schools. However, institutions like the Empire Club ignore that there are different perspectives on CRT within minority communities. There are many Canadians of diverse backgrounds who oppose the controversial ideology and do not feel critical race theorists speak for them.On February 21, the Canada Strong and Free Network will showcase black community perspectives that are being ignored by CRT-influenced institutions today. We will discuss why CRT is the subject of such controversy, why people feel the need to oppose it in schools and workplaces, and if CRT can ever offer a path to a more just society.Hear from a number of important voices in media and politics:Mike Ramsay, trustee at Waterloo Region District School BoardKira Davis, deputy editor at RedState.com and former trustee candidate for Capistrano Unified School DistrictSamuel Sey, blogger at SlowToWrite.comNoah Jarvis, university student and reporter at True NorthModerated by CSFN President Jamil Jivani
What Can We Do About Political Discrimination Canada Strong and Free Network 2023-02-03 | Canadians are increasingly concerned about political discrimination.The College of Psychologists of Ontario has put political discrimination in the spotlight by targeting Dr. Jordan Peterson. The CPO’s attack is based, in part, on Peterson making critical comments about Justin Trudeau.But we shouldn’t feel hopeless. There are steps we can take to push back on political discrimination.One clear example of how we can take action is sitting before the Senate of Canada right now. It’s a bill put forward by Senator Salma Ataullahjan to add “political belief or activity” to the Canadian Human Rights Act as a prohibited ground of discrimination.The bill before the Senate is identical to a private member’s bill put forward by MP Garnett Genuis last year.On February 1, please join MP Genuis, employment lawyer Kathryn Marshall and CSFN president Jamil Jivani to discuss how we can better protect workers and all citizens from political discrimination.

Canadian Optimists – Poilievre’s Positive Message Canada Strong and Free Network 2022-10-21 | The Conservative Party of Canada has a new Leader. Over his long political career, Pierre Poilievre has earned a reputation as a tough fighter, an “attack dog”, a fierce debater, and much more. His opponents have framed him as “angry”, “negative”, and worse.In this session, we’re going to talk about why Poilievre’s leadership represents such a positive message of optimism, and how the so-called “angry” Conservative leader is probably our Country’s best hope for a positive outlook that we can be excited about.Joining Chris Spoke, Matt Spoke and Jamil Jivani for this edition of the Canadian Optimists are Ginny Roth and Michael Wilson.Ginny Roth is the National Practice Lead for Government Relations at Crestview Strategy and a long-time conservative activist. She served as Director of Communications for Pierre Poilievre’s successful Leadership Campaign. She is also a regular contributor to the National Post and The Hub and appears frequently on Canadian television and radio as a political pundit. Michael Wilson is a litigation partner at Goodmans LLP. Previously, Michael was Chief of Staff to the Attorney General of Ontario. During Pierre Poilievre’s Leadership Campaign, he served as a senior advisor focused on national field organization and is continuing to assist the Leader and the Party as they prepare for the next election.

The Charter at 40: Success or MIA? Canada Strong and Free Network 2022-04-14 | The policy prescriptions of our governments to the COVID pandemic has put the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to the test. Has it passed with flying colours, scraped through or been a dismal failure? Borders between provinces and internationally have been shut, peaceful assembly and voluntary association curtailed, freedom of religion denied. Through it all, many Canadians have been asking where is our Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
Will COVID Restrictions End? The Plans, The Politics, The Future Canada Strong and Free Network 2022-02-28 | Covid restrictions are falling all over the world – yet, Canada remains a laggard. The federal government and some provinces have no timeframe or plans to exit various restrictions. Proponents of the status quo say they’re “following the science” yet the science fails to surface. Meanwhile, protests to COVID restrictions have been responded to by the federal government and their NDP proxies with unprecedented force and intolerance. The panelists consider where we’re at in Canada, the experience in Europe (with focus on Sweden), how we move forward and the reverberations of imposing an Emergencies Act that is earning Canada headlines around the world.
EXCHN22: Afghanistan – Looking Back and Moving Forward Canada Strong and Free Network 2022-01-21 | From the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, to the chaotic US withdrawal in August 2021, Western involvement in Afghanistan will be debated for decades to come. The Canada Strong and Free Network present a panel of experts to discuss the mission, its justification, its changing dynamic and the aftermath. What lessons do we take from these 20 years, particularly with regard to the pivotal role of Pakistan in bringing the Taliban and other terrorist proxies back to power, and what policies should conservatives here in Canada and abroad carry-forward on future involvements of the sort Afghanistan represents?
