Mi jerked maple MAGA mon. Rasclaat indians taking our jobs. Mi fed up with the bloody liberal corruption. Suck ya mudda, mi don care!

Amid escalating global tensions and a trade war fuelled by the United States, the federal Conservative Party has launched a nationalist campaign ahead of the federal election. However, Pierre Poilievre’s “Canada First” vision obscures and glorifies Canada’s legacy of exploitation and marginalization.

Last month, Poilievre unveiled his party’s new campaign slogan: Canada First. While the Conservative Party’s messaging appears to be primarily inspired by Donald Trump’s “America First” platform, the slogan itself has roots in white supremacy and racism. Previous “Canada First” movements include an 1868 white nationalist movement that opposed Métis and Cree sovereignty, aiming to establish a new “superior Aryan race” driven by survival in the “rugged north.”

“Those are very dangerous ideas that constitute erasure. And you know, they’re very white supremacist ideals that [Poilievre] is attempting to paint a narrative through.”

Recently, in 2002, the now-defunct Canada First Immigration Reform Committee served as an organizing space for white power activists opposed to immigration. That website was run by white nationalist Paul Fromm, a former member of the federal Conservative Party who had his membership revoked. In 2021, another Canada First movement emerged, led by white supremacist activist Tyler Russell, who according to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, aimed to “infiltrate Canadian politics to create a white ethnostate in Canada.”The erasure of Canada’s history of ethnic cleansing and racism raises concerns about white supremacist politics becoming more overt and widely accepted.

“Those are very dangerous ideas that constitute erasure. And you know, they’re very white supremacist ideals that [Poilievre] is attempting to paint a narrative through,” Cree author and activist Clayton Thomas-Müller said in an interview with Ricochet.

Misrepresenting Canada’s past and present​

Poilievre has framed his “Canada First” slogan as economic nationalism, seeking to strengthen Canada under a banner of national monuments, fossil fuels and nuclear projects, and a rejection of “wokeness.” He argues that Canada must prioritize its own interests in the face of threats of American annexation and tariffs.

The federal Conservative Party did not respond to a request for comment.

Poilievre claims his vision of “Canada First” is inclusive, stating he will treat “all people, regardless of their race, as Canadians and Canadians first,” however his rhetoric suggests a more exclusionary agenda. This is evident in his praise for John A. Macdonald, whose legacy is tainted by racist and cruel policies toward Indigenous peoples and immigrants.

How Pierre Poilievre’s ‘Canada First’ slogan parallels white nationalist ideology

Canadian Conservatives appear to be inspired by Donald Trump's "America First" platform, a slogan with roots in white supremacy and racism.

Preaching to the choir here, but while time has proven there are worse forms of media rhetoric, the style that pretends to not have rhetoric at all, or to think nothing is implied beyond that a thing is "news worthy" because of who it is about, is pretty damn irritating and quite irresponsible.

3/13
adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com
Healy either does not understand, or is pretending, that the report in question does not communicate one specific message: that Mamdani was attempting to game the system by checking multiple identity boxes in his college application. This is pure rightwing rhetoric.

4/13
adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com
They think that by quoting the Mamdani campaign saying he did not do that, they've balanced things and it's fair reporting. But they also report his two biggest opponents making substance-free smears. And the entire framing means that just quoting him saying "nuh huh" stacks things against him.

5/13
adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com
People like Healy will never even acknowledge this category of criticism, never mind address it. Despite the fact that it's been a pervasive critique of the NYT in particular and outlets like it for decades, they never seriously engage it. They seem to think it's beneath contempt. But it's true!

Background: the "academic" Lasker is or was a PhD student at Texas Tech (2021-2024), but his only decently-cited paper is from earlier, from 2019. That paper, "Global Ancestry and Cognitive Ability", was so bad it led to an investigation, the firing of a co-author, and articles about the scandal. 2/

3/35
capitolhunters.bsky.social
The Chronicle of Higher Education wrote about the scandal. It wasn't just that thearticle was "racist pseudoscience". It was that the authors misused data from NIH and lied on their data application - filed by Bryan Pesta, a professor at Cleveland State. Pesta was then fired. 3/ archive.is/KwbGy

https://archive.is/kwbgy

4/35
capitolhunters.bsky.social
The investigation focused on Bryan Pesta, a faculty member and the apparent driver of the research. But the first author, Jordan Lasker, was mysterious. The Chronicle spent some time trying to figure out who he even was. An undergraduate? They could see Lasker started a PhD program only later. 3/

5/35
capitolhunters.bsky.social
Why didn't reviewers catch the ethical issues with Lasker & Pesta's paper before publication? Because it appeared in a new journal edited by... Bryan Pesta. Its inaugural issue was devoted to 'race science', many articles by the same set of co-authors, claiming Black people are less intelligent. 4/

6/35
capitolhunters.bsky.social
The point here isn't to beat up on Jordan Lasker. It's to ask how the NYT called a white supremacist hack an "academic" when his only academic work of note was so awful that its ethical and scientific awfulness was a national scandal. No one even Googled. No one fact-checked this story AT ALL. 5/

7/35
capitolhunters.bsky.social
Let's be clear: Jordan Lasker's scandal is MUCH worse than that of Harvard's Claudine Gay, which the NYT covered for days. Gay wasn't fired. Bryan Pesta was. Jordan Lasker could never be hired. If the NYT cares about academic misconduct, they must now cover Lasker's sins. They made him the story. 6/
