By standing up to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Quebeckers have exposed a striking truth: modern race politics in Canada is mostly elitist performance art.
This week, in an effort to quell the uproar caused by his appointment of Amira Elghawaby the a government’s special representative on combating Islamophobiathat “Quebecers are not racists.” He went on to explain, “Quebecers are among the people who are the strongest defenders of individual rights and freedoms, along with a lot of other Canadians.”The NP Comment newsletter from columnist Colby Cosh and NP Comment editors tackles the important topics with boldness, verve and wit.
As soon as Quebeckers stood up for themselves, Trudeau folded. Elghawaby apologized for her allegations of racism against Quebec before attending a meeting with Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet. Modern race politics have become fundamentally unserious. It is in vogue to bash Canadian history, identity, and traditions. Canadian institutions have adopted once-fringe ideologies that insist Canada is a land of “white privilege” and “systemic racism.” Some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the country promote these ideas in business, government and academia.Article content
