ON the Radar COMPILED BY MATTEO CIMELLARO CALIFORNIA FIRES The Northern California Camp Fire has killed at least 48 people and rising, making it the deadliest in California’s history. President Trump has angered critics and firefighters alike with a recent tweet, blaming the fire on “gross mismanagements.” Experts expect the home loss and death toll to continue to grow as the high winds continue to stoke the fires.

The Woolsey Fire and Hill Fire continue to burn through Southern and Eastern California.

TRUDEAU CONFIRMS KHASHOGGI MURDER TAPES Trudeau says that Canadian intelligence officials have listened to the recording of the killing of Washington Post journalist and Saudi Arabian dissident Jamal Khashoggi, according to the Globe and Mail. This makes Trudeau the first Western leader to confirm Turkish claims of an audio recording. The confirmation follows an internationally covered diplomatic feud between Canada and Saudi Arabia.

Restorative justice and why people prefer it over traditional justice APPLYING RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IN CASES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT MAY BENEFIT VICTIMS AND OFFENDERS TA S H A FA LC O N E R

NOV. 18 TO 25 is Restorative Justice Week in Canada. Restorative justice (RJ) is an alternative to the traditional justice system in which people are imprisoned for their crimes. According to the Canadian government, RJ aims to repair the harm that crimes create by holding offenders responsible and addressing the needs of those affected by the crime, including victims and the community.

To effectively accomplish the goal of R J open communication is needed. One form of open communication in RJ is a dialogue between the victim and the offender, which takes place with support persons present.

The basis of R J is derived from aboriginal practices, such as sentencing circles. Modern RJ practices have been in Canada for over 40 years. The first modern program in the world was started in 1974 by a non-profit organization Community Justice Initiatives (CJI), which is based out of Kitchener, Ont. According to CJI, the new legal precedent was set when Mark Yantzi (a probation officer) and Dave Worth (a social worker) offered two teens an alternative to jail. The teens had to apologize and make restitution for their vandalism crime. Judge Gordon agreed to these conditions.

CJI continues to offer RJ programs in various cities including Guelph, but RJ is not appropriate in all situations. For RJ to be considered, the victim must voluntarily choose to participate and the offender “must accept responsibility for their role in an offence and the harm they have caused,” according to the Government of British Columbia.

While RJ is not appropriate for every individual or in every situation, participants in studies regarding RJ generally find it better than traditional justice.

Canadian researcher Jeff Latimer and colleagues investigated the effectiveness of RJ in the early 2000s and found that the victims and offenders who go through RJ are more satisfied than those who

go through traditional justice. The benefits of RJ may come from the emphasis on recovery from harm created through fair treatment.

They also found that offenders who participate in RJ are more likely to comply with restitution requirements and are less likely to reoffend in the future compared to offenders in the traditional justice system.

Jo-Anne Wemmers, a professor of criminology at the University of Montreal, notes that one area RJ may be beneficial is in cases of sexual assault, particularly if there was a pre-existing relationship between the offender and victim. In a 2017 paper, Wemmers states that it is important that victims “know their choices and decide which justice option they want to pursue.”

A Canadian study by Jenifer Tufts from 2000 found that one in four participants who had been sexually assaulted in the last year

would be interested in R J. A more recent American study by

by Francesca March and Nadia Wager found that 56 per cent of participants who were sexually assaulted at some point in their lives would be interested in RJ as well. This shows that while it is not for everyone, an increasing number of sexual assault victims may be interested in RJ. Various studies show that some victims of sexual assault find benefits to R J, such as improved psychological well-being.

RESTORE is a RJ program in Arizona that aims to assist sexual assault victims. An evaluation of RESTORE showed that RJ can help reduce post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and stress. At the beginning of the RESTORE program, 82 per cent of participants met PTSD diagnosis criteria, but after the program only 66 per cent were still within the criteria. RJ allows victims to feel supported, as there are people to ensure their safety, their well-being, and to help them through the process.

For those that have taken the RJ route, it seems one of the most significant components of its success is that victims feel empowered.

Restorative justice practices have been in Canada for over 40 years. The first modern program in the world was started in 1974 by a non-profit organization based out of Kitchener.

EX-GIRLFRIEND TALIA YEO SAYS SHE IS THANKFUL FOR STUDENT SUPPORT FOLLOWING VIDEO POST ONLINE M AT T E O C I M E L L A R O

JOHN KISSICK, a fine arts professor at U of G and co-founder of Four Fathers Brewing Co., is currently facing two charges of assault and one charge of assault with a weapon. The charges follow a video posted to the Facebook and Instagram pages of Talia Yeo, Kissick’s ex-girlfriend.

In the video, a man paces in front of the camera, picks up an unknown object, and appears to strike the person holding the camera. A female voice speaks to the man and he responds as the video unfolds. The video is no longer publicly available.

Kissick has been placed on leave

by U of G while a review is underway. The director of Fine Arts, Sally Hickson, had no comment regarding Kissick’s ongoing review.

Yeo spoke to The Ontarion about the charges against Kissick and said that she found strength and healing through coming forward publicly.

“It was less about the help for me,”

she said. “I had just had enough. […]

It was a cathartic experience.”

According to Yeo, within 48 hours of coming forward, other professors had watched the video, and unfollowed her accounts shortly after.

“Because of how the university sort of dealt with it, they were aware of [it] a little bit before.

People were aware that this was coming out, and he was still allowed to teach, and that’s what was horrifying for what I feel like is many students, and especially many survivors,” she said.

Over 70 of Kissick’s students came forward with a joint statement of support for Yeo, which can be viewed online at canadianart. Among the numerous current and former students who signed the statement were wellknown local artists: Amanda Boulos, Ambera Wellmann, Patrick Cruz, and Tiziana La Melia.

The statement reads: “We believe the fact that charges being laid

demonstrates the seriousness of the situation,” and that the students have the “utmost respect for Talia.” The statement continues: “we would like to highlight that systematic barriers often prevent women coming forward with such allegations,” and that they “will be monitoring closely as the court determines how this case will proceed.”

Kissick responded to The Ontarion’s request for comment with a statement sent from his U of G email address.

“I look forward to the truth coming out, clearing my name and moving on with my normal life, which I miss terribly,” wrote Kissick, who went on to thank his family, friends, and colleagues for their support.

“Given that this matter is currently before the courts, I won’t be able to make any further comment until the case is resolved and my name is cleared,” Kissick concluded the statement.

K is s ic k wa s in co ur t o n Nov. 6 , a n d h a s a n ot h e r s c h e dul e d co u r t date o n D e c . 1 1 .

New political party draws fringe supremacists “MAD MAX” BERNIER GEARS UP FOR 2019 ELECTION WITH HIS PEOPLE’S PARTY OF CANADA E L L A H A RV E Y

IT’S NOT UNCOMMON for fringe political parties to spring up around election time. According to Elections Ontario, there are 27 registered political parties in Ontario alone. However, it’s not every day you see a longstanding MP from a major political party veer off to start his own party the year before a federal election. Such is the case with Maxime Bernier, MP of Beauce, Que. since 2006, minister of industry, foreign affairs and small business under Harper, and most recently, runnerup for leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

Bernier, or “Mad Max,” officially

OBTAINED VIA TWITTER

split from the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) to form the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) in August 2018. The reason he left the Conservatives, he claimed in a letter to the National Post on Aug. 31, was because the CPC is “entirely dominated by pandering and vote-buying strategies” and that it “cannot be reformed.” The PPC has not yet released its complete platform, but it may be expected to include topics Bernier has been vocal about in the past, and which he has differed from the CPC on.

These topics include the privatization of public services like telecoms and healthcare, and the eradication of supply management.

Bernier has also been very vocal over not wanting “more diversity” in Canada. In a recent tweet, he asked: “Why should we promote ever more diversity? More diversity will not be our strength, it will destroy what has made us a great country.” Although Bernier and his staff have said racists “don’t have a place in our party,” the PPC has already drawn support from fringe political groups. For example, Adam Strashok, a former member and employee of Alberta’s United Conservative Party (UCP), was listed on the PPC’s online membership list in September, according t o Kelowna Capital News. Strashok had recently been

removed from the UCP for posting anti-Semitic and white supremacist messages on social media. Strashok’s name no longer appears on the PPC’s membership list.

It is unclear how Bernier’s departure from the CPC will affect the Conservatives’ prospects in the 2019 federal election. High profile conservatives like Ontario Premiere Doug Ford and former prime minister Stephen Harper have raised concerns over the prospect of votesplitting and party fragmentation, although it is possible that Bernier’s platform will alienate more traditionally centrist voters.

However, Bernier claims that the PPC will be “competitive”

by election time. It has already attracted over 30,000 members from across Canada, and Bernier claimed that it raised $140,000 in the first month of its existence.

However, Bernier’s nascent party only met for the first time last Saturday, Nov. 10, in Kelowna, B.C. As Bernier was in Vancouver at the time of the meeting, he attended the meeting virtually. All we can do is wait to see if the PPC and the CPC will clash or merge. Either way, the conservative landscape in Canada is being pushed further to the right.

Kemp: th e poster b oy for undemocratic ele c ti on s

The Republican nominee for the Georgia governor race, Brian Kemp, has been Georgia’s Secretary of State since 2010. Let it be noted that a major part of the Secretary of State’s role is to oversee public records of citizens and elections. When Kemp ran for governor in Georgia, he did not step down as the elected official overseeing the election he was running in.

Critics called it a power grab.

At The Ontarion office we would call it an blatantly absurd conflict of interest. But somehow it gets worse. It is what Kemp did with his power as Secretary of State for his own political gains that makes democracy look like a strongman showpiece for the mancave — something that an authoritarian can nod to and say, “I played by the rules and I won.”

Angela Caputo of APM Reports found that Kemp as Secretary of State oversaw a “voter purge” in late July 2017. Eight per cent of Georgia’s voters were removed from the voter polls because they had not voted in prior elections.

Many voters did not even know they had been dropped from the polls, and if they showed up at the polls, they would not be allowed to vote. In a grossly undemocratic move, Kemp removed these voters eight months after he announced his governor candidacy.

It gets even worse with Kemp’s “exact match” policy. The Associated Press reported more than 50,000 new voters were stuck in a “pending” status because their voter registration forms did not precisely match personal information on the government databases (again let’s remind ourselves Kemp

oversees these databases). If there is a missing hyphen, a difference between a married and a maiden name, or if a name is misspelled then voters can be flagged. The Associated Press found that nearly 70 per cent of the registrants stuck in a pending status were AfricanAmericans (who predominantly vote Democrat).

Through court proceedings, citizens were eligible to vote as long as proper photo identification matched their voter registration, the New York Times reported. However, for some voters, getting a letter from the State saying their voter registration is pending may have been enough to deter people from travelling to the polls.

After a not-so-sobering week following the midterm elections, a judge has ordered a review of all provisional ballots in the state of Georgia, according to the Washington Post. Provisional ballots are provided to voters in instances where there is a question about voter eligibility. In Georgia, most citizens were unsure if their vote would count. The majority of these provisional votes were cast by minority voters.

Kemp’s race is everything wrong with the democratic process in these seemingly undemocratic times. Voter suppression, lying to citizens, disproportionately attacking minority voters, weaponizing voting policies, and even spreading misinformation (Kemp as the acting chief election official for Georgia launched an investigation into the democrats’ “failed attempt at hacking” into election registry system breach).

Canada? The answer hits close to home: it already did — in Guelph.

In 2011 during the federal election robocalls were made to 7,000 voters in the region incorrectly informing them that their voting station had changed, the National Post reported. The unassuming voters were sent to the Quebec Street Mall instead of their regular polling station.

The calls came from the fraudulent name of “Pierre Poutine” from a fake “separatist street” somewhere in Quebec. The name is at worst offensive and at best a bad homage to a beloved poutine spot in the city. The calls were then directed through an automated call center in Edmonton straight to thousands of Guelph’s phones the morning of the election.

Michael Sona, the former conservative campaign worker in Guelph, was found guilty and sentenced to nine months in prison and 12 months probation for his role in the robocalls; Sona was the only one charged and found guilty by the courts but Justice Hearn, who sentenced Sona, did not believe he acted alone. CBC reports that Sona bragged to fellow party members about the calls.

The Liberal Party of Canada won in Guelph despite the robocalls. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident. Similar calls in the 2008 election in SaanichGulf Islands, B.C., arguably swung the election after over 3,000 (likely

liberal-leaning) citizens were tricked into voting for someone who pulled out of the race but remained on the ballot. The conservative candidate won that race.

P rotecti ng d em o c ra cy ta kes a Nati o n

Robocalls seem like a petty gag involving prank calls compared to Kemp, it is necessary that Canadians remain vigilant to protect democracy. The court proceedings, the public pressure, and constant reminders of the “Pierre Poutine” controversy are integral to the fabric of our democratic institutions. A political party cannot try to swing the election through deceiving tactics, as it undermines everything about the values and ideals of democracy.

Lying, suppressing, and spreading misinformation are power moves used by authoritarian-leaning regimes, and if we leave those with power, or those trying to seek power, unchecked, we will see our institutions crumble.

Institutions do not exist in a vacuum, citizens form its pillars, and when citizens are targeted, we cannot leave it to somebody else. In a democracy it is not the State’s job to keep checks and balances on political parties. It is not the State’s job to call out the undemocratic bullshit.

It is our job to call these abuses out, our job to get angry, our job to use our vote wisely. We can’t forget that this is our democratic project.

Lion in the Streets bravely confronts the darkness HOW A RAW PLAY CAN SHINE LIGHT ON OUR DEEPEST TRUTHS S TO RY & P H OTO S BY A DA M M AU E

ON NOV. 8, I attended U of G’s Mainstage dress rehearsal at the George Luscombe Theatre for Lion in the Streets. Actors were warming up; departments were getting ready; and at the centre of it all was writer, director, and U of G Prof. Judith Thompson, guiding everything into place. The show was ready to go.

The play is about a murdered nine-year-old child named Isobel, who is played by Alexa Vermy, a third year theatre studies major and creative writing minor at U of G. Vermy, who identifies as non-binary, worked with Thompson to edit the role of Isobel to be non-binary as well. Isobel returns to the world 17 years after their murder in search of their killer.

In their purgatory-like state, Isobel witnesses the pain and suffering of other people’s lives, told in a series of interlocking scenes.

From the opening scene I was hooked. It was like a dream (or nightmare) that was so interesting to watch that you didn’t want to look away. It’s true that this play is dark, but it’s also filled with grace and humour. It’s like a beautiful painting drawn with blood.

The actors embodied their character’s pain and suffering. I often felt overcome by the honesty of it all, as if our deepest human struggles were being shown back to us, such as confronting violence, handling grief, questioning one’s sexuality, and being a victim of rape. It was at times both disturbing and inspiring. This was a young cast bravely tapping into their primal emotions.

Vermy brilliantly captured the character’s childlike wonder, sensitivity, and innocence. Throughout it all, Isobel is an invisible source of light in each character’s fractured life. As an audience member, I felt like I was seeing things through Isobel’s eyes. It was a powerful effect that made me believe that goodness could prevail over wickedness.

The set, designed by award-winning set designer Troy Hourie, was dreamlike. There were stairs that appeared to be floating, there was a pole-like structure with a mobile of birds on top, and the set glowed red and blue from special paint when illuminated under a blacklight. It was a surreal world that the characters (and audience) were forced to confront.

There’s an uneasiness about the play that some people might not enjoy, but if life was always safe and comfortable, how would we grow as people?

There are deep truths in this play that we need to feel from time to time.

Lion in the Streets plays at the George Luscombe Theatre from Nov. 10 to 18.



Lion in the Streets was written by Judith Thompson in 1990. For this Mainstage production, Thompson worked with the cast to rewrite parts of the play.

Annual Student Print Show and Sale supports local artists WHY ART IS WORTH YOUR MONEY L AU R A VAU TO U R & K A R E N K . T R A N

EVERY YEAR, U OF G’s School of Fine Art and Music puts on a student print show and sale to provide an environment where students can network with the public, other artists, and curators.

Two participants, Andrea May and Maddie Lychek, spoke with The Ontarion about the importance of student art shows.

The Student Print Show and Sale is not only crucial for students and the University, but also for future generations of artists to see that their work has the opportunity to be shared and sold.

Lychek, a fourth year studio art major, expresses the importance of art in society: “It is a wonderful platform to voice your opinions and stand for what you believe in.”

In addition to having a unique piece of art to decorate your home with, buying a print at the show also helps fund student artists.

“As a student, I cover the cost of my materials and [selling my work at art shows] allows me to earn some of that money back,” Lychek explained. “Some artists don’t equate economic success with their status as an artist. For me, it validates me because it shows that I can sustain myself with my practice and continue to work and practice art in the long term.”

“For myself, as well as other student artists around me, it definitely becomes discouraging when people don’t understand that the art you make can’t always be given away for free,” May, a fourth year studio art major, said. “It takes

time, money, and effort to produce sometimes the smallest work, and it becomes difficult when people don’t consider that. To be given the opportunity as a student to sell my work provides a great sense of encouragement when I see my pieces being sold and tells me there are people that do actually want to buy the art I have spent so much time creating.”

For patrons wondering about the pricing of work at the show, Lychek believes there is something for everyone, and that the art is affordable: “We’re students too, so we understand the student lifestyle and budget.”

The Student Print Show and Sale runs from Nov. 16 to 18 at Zavitz Hall. Students will be showing and selling original lithographs, etchings, screen prints, and more.

THE RISE OF THE ALT-RIGHT IN CANADA

REBRANDING OF THE FAR-RIGHT ONLINE LEADS TO MATE

A

CLUSTER OF FAR-RIGHT lone wolf violence has swept over the United States in the last few weeks. Be it violence against women, Jews, political enemies, or people of colour, the pattern is one that is difficult to ignore. Although these events may be scattered across our neighbour to the south, many Canadians can’t avoid asking if that very same brand of violence can inspire events north of the border.

Last month, the Toronto Star reported that the RCMP has noted an increase in far-right violence in Canada: the “seemingly disparate attacks — like Justin Bourque’s killing of three Mounties in Moncton in 2014, or Alexandre Bissonnette’s slaying of six worshippers at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec in 2017, or the Toronto van rampage that killed 10 people earlier this year” do not originate from any singular, coherent source.

But in two of the Star’s three examples, court evidence and uncovered online activity have revealed that the Internet can be powerful in motivating far-right extremists to commit acts of violence. For example, after Bissonnette’s Twitter searches were introduced to the court by Crown attorneys, the Washington Post reported: “Bissonnette also appears to have obsessively visited the Twitter accounts of Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, Fox News personalities; David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan; Alex Jones of Infowars; conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich; Richard Spencer, the white nationalist; and senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway. Bissonnette checked in on the Twitter account of Ben Shapiro, editor-in-chief of the conservative news site the Daily Wire, 93 times in the month leading up to the shooting.”

In April, CBC reported on the misogynistic and “incel” (involuntary celibate) contents of the Facebook profile belonging to the alleged perpetrator of the Toronto van attack; the profile has since been removed. “Members of the incel community are active on online platforms associated with the alt-right, including 4chan, Reddit, and sometimes Facebook groups,” Maxime Feset told CBC in an interview.

It’s easy to focus on the rise of the alt-right in America and believe that Canada isn’t as bad and therefore okay.

What we overlook with this form of denial is that the present state of America is a peek into the future of Canada. A potential future that is already becoming a reality and will only do so more swiftly if we don’t focus on bettering our history and civics education, so that citizens are better equipped to think critically and remain critical of those who have agendas based on profiting from hate and fear-mongering — whether they are members of the media, politicians, or business people.

The right has always existed in Canada through white supremacy and white nationalist rhetoric — ­ examples include ethnic cleansing, genocide, and perpetuating colonial frameworks — but its recent rebranding as the alt-right has led to a surge in its popularity and platforming. A rebranding that is accessible to and palatable for impressionable, frustrated young men in any nation.

The CBC’s report on incels provides a working definition of the alt-right: “an umbrella term, coined by U.S. white supremacist Richard Spencer, used to refer to a movement that takes in elements of the far-right and white nationalism and has been associated with misogynistic and homophobic views.”

While acts of terror and their correlation to online proponents of far-right ideology are often disregarded as isolated incidents, the frequency of these events shows a trend that is proving dangerous to ignore.

The use of the online free-speech platform Gab, by

Robert Bowers — the alleged shooter in the Oct. 27 synagogue attack in Pittsburgh — prior to the attack as well as the stickered van of the accused MAGA bomber Cesar Sayoc exemplify the power of “ironic” jokes, talking points, and memes on the Internet.

It isn’t enough to classify these acts of violence as being perpetrated by the alt-right or even to acknowledge the role of the Internet in the rise of terrorist acts committed by far-right extremists.

Eco & Fascism Many scholars and cultural critics fear the alt-right’s move towards fascism. Those familiar with the work of philosopher and semiotician Umberto Eco argue that there are growing trends around the world towards Ur-Fascism; these ultra-nationalistic trends manifest differently from one country to the next.

In his essay Ur-Fascism, Eco explains that the features of fascism “cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.” Eco tells us that no one specific person or group necessarily has to satisfy all of the conditions of Ur-Fascism to be a fascist. The following groups don’t have to act as a unit to satisfy the conditions of fascism: • Anti-women groups • Anti-socialist groups • Anti-immigration groups • Anti-liberal groups • Anti-conservative groups • Groups committing acts of street violence • Men’s rights groups The normalization and platforming of the rhetoric of those groups allows them to reinforce and support one another, regardless of whether any of the positions of one group contradict the positions of another. For example, the anti-liberal groups may be “for the people” while their anti-socialist and anti-labour partners dismantle workers’ rights. Contradiction can even take place within a single group; for example, anti-immigrant groups claiming that immigrants steal well-paying jobs yet they are also too lazy to add to the economy. Inconsistency and disingenuous arguments become weapons to fluster or troll opponents.

Sartre & Bad Faith Hypocrisy is an easily observable tactic used by fascists, since they will often contradict themselves for the sake of gaining power. The lack of authenticity in the fascist pursuit of power is discussed through the concept of bad faith, developed by philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and expanded upon with respect to anti-Semitism in his 1948 book Anti-Semite and Jew. “Never believe that antiSemites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies,” Sartre writes. “They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The antiSemites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Sartre’s concept of bad faith is especially relevant today given the alt-right’s weaponization of the Internet; where better to participate in the formulation and spreading

of disingenuous and inauthentic ideologies for the most lulz than the Internet? Any impressionable or vulnerable young person that stumbles into the corners of the Internet where these talking points come to life can’t contend against the Fortnite Twitch streamers, YouTube stars, Instagram influencers, 4chan threads, subreddits, and Gab profiles armed with post-truth non-facts. The sheer amount of content, let alone the anonymity and lack of censorship that is offered online, that reaches millions is a stark contrast to the days when the far-right in Canada was limited to poorly designed pamphlets and staticky radio stations. The Internet provides an environment for the signs, symbols, and language of the far-right to mutate and adapt to avoid detection and criticism; note that this isn’t because the far-right fears scrutiny uncovering inconsistencies, but because scrutiny infringes on the far-right’s ability to be platformed.

The rebranding of the alt-right online as champions of facts (not “feels”) and logic (not emotion) and as protectors of free expression has obscured for many the problematic nature of what underlies much of the far-right ideology. This rebranding is especially effective because those who may not be familiar with the symptoms of fascism, and the dangers and destruction that follow when left unchecked, are unknowing contributors to the far-right agenda because they defend their right to platform their ideas — even if they don’t necessarily agree with those ideas. That is to say, the complacency of these bystanders makes them complicit.

Eco & Newspeak Eco warns that fascists use Newspeak, and that “[a]ll the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”

He explains that “we must be ready to identify other kinds of Newspeak, even if they take the apparently innocent form of a popular talk show.” Common examples of online Newspeak used by the alt-right to dehumanize their ideological enemies include the following: • SJWs (social justice warriors) used to criticize the left’s prioritization of social justice • NPCs (non player characters) from Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) who are thoughtless placeholders wandering the Earth • Libs (Liberals) used to encompass anyone to the left of the far-right • Staceys refers to a nickname used by incels for women who won’t sleep with them • Cultural Marxism refers to an anti-Semitic conspiracy that claims the Frankfurt school continues to kill Western culture • The (((Triple parentheses))) are an anti-Semitic symbol used by the alt-right online to identify individuals or institutions that are Jewish, of Jewish descent, or related to Jewish people The alt-right pushes the ideas that “leftism is liberalism,” when the two are not synonymous, and that “antifa is fascist,” when antifa literally means anti-fascist. The alt-right’s intentional misuse of language comes from the same online communities that motivate an overwhelming amount of deadly violence making headlines in North America with increasing frequency.

So do we actually need the RCMP to tell us the altright is getting a foothold in Canada? Looking back on the last decade, it seems better to tell the RCMP that they are late to the party. It would have been more prudent to tell CSIS that they should have been concerned with far-right extremism in 2016 instead of abandoning their efforts to monitor it.

ERIAL VIOLENCE

[F]ascism does not rest on formal philosophical positions with claims to universal validity. There was no ‘Fascist Manifesto,’ no founding fascist thinker. Although one can deduce from fascist language implicit Social Darwinist assumptions about human nature, the need for community and authority in human society, and the destiny of nations in history, fascism does not base its claims to validity on their truth. Fascists despise thought and reason, abandon intellectual positions casually, and cast aside many intellectual fellow-travelers. They subordinate thought and reason not to faith, as did the traditional Right, but to the promptings of the blood and the historic destiny of the group. Their only moral yardstick is the prowess of the race, of the nation, of the community. They claim legitimacy by no universal standard except a Darwinian triumph of the strongest community.

TUESDAY, NOV. 20 is Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR). Transgender is an umbrella term that describes a person whose gender does not match the expectations associated with the sex assigned to that person at birth. The day honours those who have died from anti-trans violence.

GLAAD is a media-based advocacy organization whose main goal is to rewrite the false narrative on the LGBTQ+ community through acceptance. According to the GLAAD website, TDOR’s inaugural day was in 1999 when advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith organized a vigil in honour of Rita Hester, who was murdered in 1998, and others whose lives have been lost to transphobic violence.

This will be the first year the Canadian federal government recognizes the day, as Bill 74 was passed in Dec. 2017 which enacted the day and requires a minute of silence to be held in the legislatures nationwide.

Multiple reports find that violence and harassment in the trans community occurs at an alarming rate. These findings also have intersectional implications; trans people of colour are at an even higher risk.

The Trans PULSE project, a research project done at Western University in 2015, highlights the violence and discrimination towards people who identify as trans. The research shows 96

per cent of trans individuals have heard people claim they are abnormal and 73 per cent have been made fun of for their identity.

The researchers found that 20 per cent of trans individuals have been physically or sexually assaulted and 34 per cent have been verbally threatened or harassed. Many of these incidents are not reported to the police, which is not surprising considering 24 per cent of trans individuals surveyed had been harassed by police officers.

People identifying as trans face discrimination both in the workplace and by medical professionals.

Twenty-eight per cent of trans individuals were fired or suspect they were fired because they were trans.

Half of those surveyed believe they were turned down for a job because of their identity.

While this is no longer legal, as gender identity and gender expression were added to the Canada Human Rights Act, structural barriers still exist. Many trans Ontarians have trouble getting references and transcripts with the

CREDIT: TRANSPULSEPROJECT.CA

correct name and sex designation.

This forces individuals to be out to employers up front.

Receiving medical care can be difficult for trans individuals. Ten per cent of trans individuals in the PULSE project had their ER care stopped or denied. Forty per cent have experienced discriminatory behaviour from their family doctors, which includes refusal of care and being ridiculed.

The impacts of discrimination and transphobic acts of violence are significant within the trans community. Many trans folks will avoid public spaces and health care because of safety concerns.

Additionally, those in the trans community have high unemployment rates and experience high levels of mental health issues, such as depression and suicide.

Violence and discrimination against the trans community has resulted in numerous deaths.

Taking a day to remember the lives lost is extremely important. It is also a time to progress as a society, so that fewer lives are needlessly lost because of transphobia.

Turning pieces of autumn into pieces of art ENTRY #2: LEAF COLLECTING IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH ARBORETUM | A COLD WIND rustles the branches overhead, a shower of yellow, orange, and red leaves fall all around me. I pause and look up, only to be smacked right in the face. I flinch and step back, my boyfriend chuckles and walks ahead of me. The fall colours afford a great opportunity for collecting and pressing some beautiful leaves, especially in The Arboretum.

Each one is like a work of art.

I reach down and pick up my assailant.

D u r ing t he fa ll, trees draw the chlorophyll back into the main body of the plant,

and shed their leaves which they no longer need.

Not all of the chlorophyll had quite made it out of this leaf before it fell: it had green around the veins fading into a splotchy red and orange. I twirl it in my fingers as I jog to catch up with my boyfriend. Another fallen leaf grabs my attention and I screech to a halt, bending down to pick it up.

The colours in the leaves are antioxidants, that’s left after the chlorophyll is drawn out. The leaves use these antioxidants to protect themselves from overexposure to the sun.

When I straighten, my partner is standing ahead of me on the path, looking mysterious in his sunglasses and black jacket. We’re an odd pair to be certain: me, a tiny wildlife enthusiast, stopping and carefully inspecting leaves laying on the ground, and he, a big, dark, imposing, and some might say

CAT COOPER

brute of a man. He waits patiently for me to catch up, and we walk on for a while before I get distracted by the skeletal shapes of dead rose bushes.

Many plants also carry seed pods in the fall, a culmination of all their hard work during the spring and summer, making it an ideal time to collect some seeds. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just a fan of plants, collecting and growing different species can be very fun, and any collection of plants is a great place to grab a few seed pods. There are more than a few on the dried out rose stems in The Arboretum. I snap off two and pocket them, my leaves still clutched in my hand. We finish our tour through The Arboretum and its various gardens, albeit slowly and with many distractions.

The colours in the leaves are antioxidants, that’s left over after the chlorophyll is drawn out. The leaves use these antioxidants to protect themselves from overexposure to the sun.

Oh what a difference a year can make!

PRIORITIZATION HELPS KEEP WORKLOAD TOLERABLE C A R L E I G H C AT H C A R T

THE OTHER DAY while studying, I did something very uncharacteristic. I was carefully reading my notes when I came across some information that there was a chance of being tested on, but seemed clinically irrelevant to me as a practitioner in less than three years. So I did what my undergrad never really allowed me to do: I skipped it — glanced at, scrolled over, straight out ignored.

While this simple action is by no means earth-shattering to the average person, it felt revolutionary for me as an over-analyzing, uncompromising individual whose dream career depends on unrealistically high grades. Indeed, admission to professional programs such as the Ontario Veterinary College’s (OVC) Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program is based heavily on academic performance. The

expectation of consistently high marks takes its toll often before vet school even starts, and is not an easy pressure to shake over the course of the program’s four long years.

A lot of the things I’ve found myself needing to learn since starting vet school have little to do with curricular material. Study habits, scholastic goals, and the concept of work-life balance must all be redefined to survive this program with a semblance of sanity. There is absolutely no regret about my choice of profession or reduction in my drive to be successful, but a change in perspective is essentially required to achieve success.

As an intended mixed-animal practitioner, I think I have my work cut out for me. The species I desire to work with include (but are not limited to) equines, cows,

pigs, sheep and goats, cats and dogs, pocket pets, and hopefully a little bit of wildlife. It’s great that in some capacity or another the OVC curriculum touches on these animals (some more than others, of course). Yet the reality remains that in a world where specialization is increasingly common, my hopeful career path involves the challenge of fitting a significant amount of information into my significantly finite brain.

So, what is a James Herriothopeful to do? (Note: For non-vets, Herriot is basically the J. K. Rowling of the vet world.) Well for starters, I’ve been working hard at reminding myself that the information in our weekly Monday morning tests and the information I need to be a competent veterinarian are not necessarily the same thing (yes, a test every Monday

PHOTO OBTAINED VIA FLICKR

— sometimes two!). More than a criticism of OVC’s programming, this thought process is an active effort to avoid falling into the “I should be studying at all times” trap in which so many students tend to find themselves. After all, the deepest learning in my life so far has seldom occurred within the confines of a lecture hall.

Typing this final paragraph, I grumble about setting the

morning’s early alarm. Yet in three short years, I could be waking up for an emergency call, and that frightens (and motivates) me more than tomorrow’s virology test ever could. Rather than cram some last-minute studying in, I think I might just shower and go to bed.

PET OF THE WEEK MANGO THE RED STAR CHICKEN Human: Anna Naim Pet’s Age: Three years Fun Fact: Mango is one of the more courageous chickens of the flock; he will approach the family’s pet dogs without getting scared. He is one of Anna’s 15 chickens, among other breeds of Rhode Island Red and Plymouth Barred Red chickens. The chickens are fed cut corn, wheat, and layer pellets, as well as any leftover veggies. In the summer, the flock is allowed to roam outside to eat grass, dandelions, and clovers. As a result of their healthy diet, the yolks of the hens’ eggs are much deeper orange than store-bought eggs.
