By now, everyone’s aware of the successful attempt a few weeks back of a group of three “students” at the University of Waterloo who set out to silence author and columnist Christie Blatchford for her “hateful” book, Helpless, documenting the trials and tribulations of land owners and freedom activists in Caledonia over the past years.
In a nutshell, three protesters chained themselves to the podium that Christie was to speak from. The police were called and said that Christie couldn’t go on stage if the protesters were still there, but the school wouldn’t allow the police to remove them. As such, the event was canceled, and the communist thugs won.
Now, we know that the “lead” protester is a PhD student (in environmental studies) at the University of Waterloo…Dan Kellar. Except, not really. Between lying about his student status for sympathy (granted, I think knowing someone’s a grad student actually makes me like them less,) Dan blogs and podcasts.
In a recent podcast, Dan stated that “We are proud to have stopped this racist apologist from further disseminating her lies, and we firmly pledge to be present at the rescheduling of [Christie Blatchford's speaking] event in order to continue our campaign against Christie.” He further pushes forth the idea that she won’t be permitted to speak at other points in the podcast.
Leaked Facebook messages between a reader and Kellar show that he is nothing more than an anarchist who actually opposes the police arresting members of the Black Bloc during the Toronto G20 summit.
Given the length of the exchange, I’ll only be posting select messages. None of this distorts the actual context of what was said: I’m more than happy to send out the full exchange of people are interested.

If what Christie has written could be categorized as Hate Speech, then by all means call the cops and have her charged with violating sections 318-320 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
If it does not meet this definition, then by all means write a paper that rebuts her argument, send letters to various newspapers, have a sit in and bang drums on the front lawn if you must.

i do not support the use of cops, cops are a violent gang of murderers and rapists (when in uniform at least), and they have no place in a civilized society. a prof recently printed a rebuke of christie’s work, in an academic journal, and is now being sued. we take our responsibility to stop racists very importantly and will not wait for the dominant powers to act.

this is what you will not get from your mainstream “journalists” and our racist education system, it keeps people ignorant. it is because of people like christie that people will ignore what the indigenous live through until this day. she has a pulpit to preach from and not a critical voice is allowed to be published in response. she denies history and wraps up racism in national security and breaches of our invalid “law”
you ask for alternatives to capitalism, but you dont recognize it as a working system either. while i cant point you to a working global system of economic governance there are two points to make here:
people from colonial backgrounds have been deciding what is the “best” system for everyone for too long. let us sit back and listen to what the indigenous people tell us will work. if you accept capitalism as a failure then why keep it around? best of the worst is not acceptable. maybe minds that have not been colonized (instructed in dominance), should be the ones that get to make the decisions for a while… we certainly failed at it.
So, there you have it folks. The problem isn’t Christie Blatchford — it’s all a part of the big racist, colonialist conspiracy. Everyone should support Christie, and tell Dan Kellar how you feel.
