**Geoffrey Corfield**

*Geoffrey Corfield has been active in Conservative politics in Canada since 1976, both federally and provincially. But he won’t always write about politics because he has more experience with writing history and humour. He lives in London, Ontario, frequents used book shops, swims lengths, drinks beer, plays croquet, has his own town in north-central Queensland and six books published, and would very much like to find a publisher for [this New Zealand book](https://goodoil.news/serial-book-a-humorous-history-of-nz/) and its companion one for Australia.*

**A Tale of Three Canadians**

Three Canadians. Two you will probably know, and one you might not.  
But all three are sounding the alarm about the suffocating blanket  
attack on truth, freedoms, and law and order by universities and other  
institutions spreading the ideological warped thinking and twisted  
logic of the mentally deranged and brainwashed Left. Where do these  
people come from? Answer: We ‘educated’ them.

**Conrad Black**, former newspaper boy and inmate, now British Lord and  
writer. Mr Black’s weekly appearance on a Toronto radio station was  
“permanently cancelled” because he said that “Canada was not  
systematically racist. To declare that Canada is not a racist country  
is itself judged to be a racist comment. This is absurd and  
nonsensical”.

**Jordan Peterson**, professor of psychology at The University of Toronto,  
tells the story of **Dr Tomas Hudlicky**, achemistry professor with  
impeccable credentials at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario.

A German Science journal has retracted an essay written 30-years-ago, but just published, by Brock University professor Tomáš Hudlický which criticizes diversity hiring. (Brock University)

Dr. Hudlicky wrote a paper published in a scientific journal on the  
state of “organic synthesis research” which dealt with the problems of  
“preferential status” and “submission to one’s mentors”.

The paper was deemed “academic feudalism” and “anti-diversity screed”.  
It was removed from the journal, the journal apologised, two of the  
journal’s editors were “suspended”, Hudlicky had an entire issue of  
another journal cancelled, mention of his work in another journal  
erased, and was criticised by both a European chemical society and his  
own university.

Mr. Peterson warns: “Science, technology, engineering and mathematics  
are the next frontier for occupation by the politically correct.  
Qualified and expert researchers are already in great danger of being  
pushed aside by activists of the proper opinion. Your famous immunity  
to political concerns will not protect you against what is headed your  
way fast over the next five or so years”.

**Bruce Pardy**, professor of law at Queen’s University in Kingston,  
Ontario, relates the problem of Critical Theory:

> “Capitalism is oppressive, private property rights cause environmental destruction,  
> prosperity causes climate change. Critical Theory opposes everything  
> that makes the West work. Their purpose is to condemn cultural norms,  
> tear down existing orders, and transform society. A growing proportion  
> of people in universities, the media, politics and corporate  
> structures; now reject the premises upon which their own thriving  
> societies are built.”

> “The final conquest is now in progress inside science, technology,  
> engineering and medical faculties. Generations of graduates taught  
> Critical Theory now populate governments, corporate boards, human  
> resource departments, courts, media and education. Children carry the  
> guilt of living in a society that they are taught is fundamentally  
> unjust”.

> His warning: “Do not expect bedrock principles of Canadian law and  
> society to withstand this subversion. The ground began to shift long  
> ago (Frankfurt, Germany 1937), and a kind of cultural apocalypse is  
> well underway”.

His solution:

> “Try to teach as many people as you can. Hope for the  
> best and prepare for the worst”.
