Imagine the backlash if Don Cherry ever said anything remotely close to what Jagmeet Singh said about anybody’s skin colour, gender or age.
Same goes for former Opposition Leader and Stephen Harper cabinet minister Stockwell Day.
What would have happened if Dr. Jordan Peterson or Jessica Mulroney said something like that?
You already know what would happen because it happened to all of them.
They were cancelled.

They didn’t do anything wrong. Or say anything remotely as gross and racist as the NDP leader said Tuesday at the Equal Voice dinner in Ottawa. But it didn’t matter. The rules which ended the brilliant careers of many brilliant people who didn’t say anything racist clearly don’t apply to Singh, who can say whatever he wants.
Look at what he said here.
“I have seen, if I can be really blunt, I’ve seen a lot of older white men fail upwards again and again,” Singh told the same audience that heard Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggest Americans are misogynist for not voting for against Donald Trump. “And that’s going to continue, unless we change things.”
Change things like Trudeau’s grip on power with a minority parliament? Was Singh talking about him failing upwards again and again?
Trudeau certainly checks the racial, age and failure boxes that Singh highlighted in his vitriolic shot and the only reason he’s still benefiting from power is because this very NDP leader refuses to change him by propping him up in parliament.
“I fundamentally believe if you don’t change things, you’re going to have the same system, and the same system is going to benefit those that are already in power. So, you have to fundamentally do things to change it and that’s what Equal Voice is about,” said Singh. “We have got to change the way things are if we want different results. If we want different outcomes, you can’t just hope they are going to happen, you have to make them happen. That’s what policies and putting place real clear strategies.”
Policies like cancelling aging white people?
Singh cheered Cherry losing his 40-year legendary career on Hockey Night in Canada in 2019 for saying the least “you people” who “come here” for “our way of life and milk and honey” can do is buy a poppy to help support veterans.
“There is no ‘you people,’” Singh said at the time. “We’re all as Canadian as the next.”
But Canadians can’t comment on race, gender and age without cancellation like unaffected Singh did here.
For example, no one stuck up for Day, who in fighting back on the phoney ‘Canada is systemically racist’ nonsense. He merely said on a TV panel that he doesn’t believe Canada is a racist country and used an example of how he was bullied as a kid for wearing glasses. Day, faced with public outcry, stepped down from his involvement with the CBC show and resigned from his prestigious private business board position and law firm advisory gig.
Everybody has heard of Peterson being told by the psychologists’ board that he must attend retraining, and Jessica Mulroney was cancelled from her media career when a bunch of haters smeared her for not bowing down to their bullying.
Trudeau and Singh are trying to stir up the out-of-control, politically correct crowd as they try to cling to power in a time when people are saying enough of this woke crap.
All those scapegoats who are not racist and didn’t say anything racist should be apologized to and get their jobs back. None of them did anything wrong.
It’s such a double standard that Singh can single out Canadians down racial, ageist and anti-male lines with no pushback like others certainly would receive. However, he’s advanced the ‘Canada is systemically racist’ angle before — one time suggesting an MP, who did not vote for his motion, was racist.
But this seems even nastier in a country where race, gender or age is not supposed to matter yet is spewed out by the very person who keeps this current woke government in power.
Singh does hypocrisy better than anybody. Whether it’s being dropped off at Parliament Hill in a Maserati, Rolex watches or fancy suits, none of it fits for the leader of a party that purports to represent the blue-collar working Canadian who could never dream of living in such luxury.

And if they are older, male or white, they may even be ridiculed by a federal leader and even cancelled. Unless their name is Trudeau, who holds the key to someone’s gold plated six-years in the House of Commons kicking in sometime in February 2025.
But, according to Singh, it seems that failing “old white guy” known for wearing blackface can stay.
