UNB Saint John Controversy 2019 & Patrick Hickey & David Hickey

Amazing to see how well Ricardo's book "Canada in Decay:  Mass Immigration, Diversity & The Ethnocide of EuroCanadians" is still a best-seller after two years on the market ....

UNB student was of the opinion there was "no place for Duchesne on campus "...... and it really makes you wonder what the other professors are teaching... he went so far as to put himself on television to tell the public his opinion as a student leader .. that was Patrick Hickey.. https://twitter.com/patrickhickey16 -- UNB SRC President https://nbsa-aenb.ca/notfairatall/ 

Patrick Hickey re-tweets the character "David Hickey" City Councillor in Saint John - it looks as though the two are into politics and that they are related?   https://twitter.com/DavidHickeyNB

Duchesne, who is originally from Puerto Rico, has said he believes the controversy was generated by his 2017 book Canada in Decay: Mass Immigration, Diversity, and the Ethnocide of Euro-Canadians.

"I am a strong critic of immigration," he said last week. "I believe that Canada and all western nations have been set for full diversification through mass immigration, and I'm trying to understand why. Who came up with this idea that all white nations must become racially diverse, whereas that's not happening in Japan, Korea, China, Mexico -- only in white nations?"

Discussing ideas, not attacking people, is the ultimate exercise in academic freedom... will Canadians rise to this challenge or fall into more self-censorship and more "safe spaces" where students are forced to coexist in a quiet, uncontroversial chamber of zero tolerance for wrong think and wrong speak?

I brought up Dr. Ricardo Duchesne. He is a stain on @UNBSaintJohn and should be fired. I compelled UNB to act and do the right thing. I hope they do. Racism and hate have no place in our community, especially in education

There are only 'SOME THINGS' you are allowed to promote when you are a political "progressive" ..but other things are taboo .. two examples of taboo:  pro-life activism and immigration policy discussions. [groupthink ONLY applies].

White Nationalist Posters at UNB

Michael Thurlow's NSCLRP party is controversial but censored... don't censor, listen to other's ideas... and decide for yourself... Thurlow was suspended from Twitter and his blogger removed.. he has been trying to get his message out there.. you will find him on minds.com and gab.ai - and youtube and Facebook.

James Kennedy says to "The Baron" UNB SJ

-- James Kennedy on facebook comments were left at "The Baron" newspaper, UNB Saint John New Brunswick

 .. 
James Kennedy " It's all above my pay grade. I met Ricardo during the strike and he's an ok guy, but a real academic, and outside of the academic world his words and ideas are used by some rather unsavoury groups. I like him, he is extremely well read, and I would encourage my daughter to take one of his classes, but I would certainly be looking over here shoulder to see how she responds to it. Dr. Duschene takes great pains to distinguish between European Culture and White Racism, but to most people myself included it still comes across as bunk racism. I know it isn't that way in his mind or in his heart, but that is the way it come across to most people. As I said, all above my pay grade, but there it is. So as I see it, if this is one of his students, we still have a lot of work to do, and we should not just throw her under the bus. I wish I knew more about healing circles. It seems hypocritical that we are all about being inclusive and honour our First Mations, except when we might actually learn something from them." 

The Baron had [ a student Anna ] published an article[s] by Michael Thurlow, NSCLRP ..  

University of New Brunswick academic culture called that a " no no "...and  its still a sore spot for the journos at "The Baron" https://twitter.com/thebaronsj

Prof. Ricardo Duchesne's website https://www.eurocanadian.ca/2018/08/righteous-indigenization.html

Michael Thurlow also got removed from Twitter this year.  Image from google images archive.. Prof. Rick Mehta came under fire from even associating with Thurlow... some youtube interviews with Thurlow can be found online...

In my humble opinion the 'community' spanked the kids at the paper and Anna for actually doing journalism.. as uncomfortable as it might have been to read Thurlow's ideas it was true journalism.. pure and unadultered .. they 'cucked' and removed the piece[s] and wrote about it with much apologetics http://www.thebaron.ca/2018/01/31/statement-from-the-board-of-directors/

Let ideas out into the marketplace of ideas.. that's my advice... stay cool, breathe..

Tough to support the culture of clobbering free speech .. its destructive as hell.

I did encounter James Kennedy on Twitter.. he had some choice words for his followers.......

Hamilton: UNBF Controversy Reveals Campus Speech issues

On Tuesday, January 16th the Brunswickan reported the findings of the above posters around the UNB Fredericton campus. The posters which first appeared to be distributed anonymously were credited to the National Socialist Canadian Labour Revival Party (NSCLRP) after an email was sent to the editor of theBrunswickan by an unnamed representative claiming leadership of the organization and taking responsibility for the distribution of the posters.

An investigation by the Brunswickan into the NSCLRP revealed its emergence on social media in late August 2017 and provided that the organization has since gained a small following by way of Facebook and a corresponding blog. By posting these flyers, the NSCLRP made a strong political standpoint opposing many left wing ideologies which has left several scholars and students outraged.

The poster implores it`s audience to “reject the anti-white narrative being pushed in media and academia” this message is further emphasized by the request to reconsider the historical implications of the residential schools as well as making the claim that “Overwhelmingly, Native Americans are beneficiaries and not victims of the society built by Europeans”. The poster then goes on to say that an unspecified enemy of Canada wishes to “divide and conquer” the region and calls on the unison of Native Americans and Europeans against a foreign threat. It becomes difficult to decipher the intended message of the poster as it covers a varying degree of highly controversial subjects but the last line “…the threat posed by the foreign invasion of our lands” is directly opposing mass immigration in Canada.

The posters, labeled as being white supremacist, quickly incited controversy on campus social media, with students and the public asking the university to take immediate action. UNBF Campus Security began an investigation and the Fredericton Police force has also become involved. These posters were condemned instantly by the university due to the intolerance of hate speech on campus. The intended message of this poster was veiled by an indirect title (the opposition of mass immigration and the defense of the portrayal of European heritage in universities are separate issues), and a left wing rant opposing the historical perspective of residential schools and questioning their overall impact was regarded as extremely inappropriate and offensive. The poster calls for the unison of the “Europeans and Native Americans” to come together as Canadians against mass immigration.

There are many issues with the way this party has chosen to present their unpopular underdeveloped opposition here but the argument can certainly be made that the posters do not directly contain hate speech, nor are they distinctly exhibiting racism here. A more obvious display of hate speech took place in the response to these posters with presumptuous name-calling and labels being distributed carelessly and without penalty. Whether or not you agree or disagree with the ideas presented by this group of individuals, the reaction to them seems extreme, problematic and oppressive.  All viewpoints need to be held to an academic standard, especially in a university setting, and if this poster was deemed unsuitable in supporting this viewpoint than it needs to be condemned on the grounds that the argument being made was not effectively communicated, researched, or proven.

There is a very big difference (but a very thin line) between the rejection of an idea and the suppression of one. Identifying a double standard in academia is extremely important. Allowing hate to come from one side of a political spectrum is not okay. Hate speech in any argument is not ok and while the university may provide an echo-chamber of politically correct, scrubbed and censored ideas, the real world issues are not always black and white. Students must be empowered to make the decisions about what literature, ideological standpoints, and political propaganda they accept to consume. Conformity should never be based off of fear. We are here to for all of the information, we are here to be critical and debate the important issues.
