She is intelligent. That's nice. She's got good looks. That's just fine. But she is also able to form and defend her own opinions in an environment where the press for conformity is enormous. And that's what really makes her special.
yes, they get patted on the head by their daddy-overlords. but `postmodern marxist' is euphemism for the psycho-political-leninism. There is only one value: REVOLUTION. They are seized by seething powers of satan.
As someone who recently graduated from the liberal arts, people like Lindsay are a breath of fresh air. No more safe spaces, no more trigger warnings, and no more idiocy.
Madness that they seriously suggested that the students were 'too young' to handle something completely innocuous that had been broadcast on a national TV station. The man who was interviewing her in that audio really needs to be fired.
Half Baked I'm glad I'm not the only one that found this completely ridiculous. They're telling me that the very people who we are telling that they have the capacity to know which gender/future/sexual orientation they want to be are not old enough to determine their own opinions? WTF?! That is what numb nuts said wasn't It? Their young brains aren't capable of figuring out their own truth?
It wouldn't surprise me. I've had to deal with people like that. If they have too many friends in too many positions, it doesn't matter what they made up, they will win, unless you can escalate it further to proper courts.
arden wouldnt surprise me now you mention it that professor was a particularly prissy little bitch "she did WHAT in MY class? ill fix that little madam"
That's my suspicion too. It reminds me of an experience my parents had with the board of the homeowners' association where they live. They got a nastygram that "someone" - who of course the board couldn't name in order to prevent interpersonal conflict - had a problem with my parents' wildflower garden and insisted, under penalty of future fines, that certain changes be made to it so it conformed to a reserved and rather sterile aesthetic standard. Long story short, that "someone" turned out to be the same person on the board who sent the letter. It also came to light that that someone had used his position on the board to bully other people in the neighborhood in the same way. The funny thing was, this person always claimed that he was confronting homeowners on the behalf of timid homeowners whose quality of life he alleged was being degraded by the thoughtless behavior of anti-social people like my parents. In reality, of course, the guy was a control freak who wanted to enforce his aesthetic preferences on everyone else around him and who was perfectly willing to use his position on the board to do it.
So, the rules of the tribunal process were not explained, the charges against her were not revealed, she could not examine the evidence against her, she was not allowed to cross-examine the witnesses against her or face her accuser, she had no legal counsel or advocate, guilt was presumed, and the prosecutors were also the judges. It sounds like "The Trial" by Kafka.
Allow me to interpret their letters of apology for you: "We at Laurier would really like to apologize. We honestly had no idea we were being recorded. In the future, we will take all necessary steps to ensure that something like this never happens again."
I'm a little conflicted about this ( not the part of about Laurier being horrible, but about the recording ). In one sense, I get the need for recording it in this case, and I think she was very brave to do so and releasing it informed us about is going on there. On the other hand, I wouldn't be comfortable with someone recording audio of a conversation I had with them, and them then releasing that conversation without asking my permission first. Because even though I wouldn't want to hide anything I said, it would be easy for someone to cut a specific portion of what I said, taking it completely out of context and releasing that ( not that this is in fact a tactic some sjw's use to demonize their opponents ) . So I'm not sure I'd be comfortable talking to when I know they might be recording what I said. Please change my mind on that, so I can totally like her as much as she probably deserves ( I already like her, but that little thing bothers me ).
Young people like Lindsay makes one hope that Canada is not yet beyond recovery from the left wing idiocy that rules society these days. She is an inspiration.
Brilliant as ever. Lindsay is very measured and incredibly smart. she seems to be dealing with the situation very well. they always fuck with the wrong people.
I don't see how she can continue at Laurier, having called her professor 'insane' [which he is] on YT. In a just world, he would be sacked and she would be praised.
she is right laurier has always been seen as a joke of a place, even the TAs at that school knows it. It's been a long time reputation laurier has enjoyed. People from university of waterloo have always mocked laurier as a highschool down the street.
Nah, Peterson is too busy peddling Orwellian AI, "personality trait tests" with a price tag, "self-authorship" bullshit with a price tag, the supposed "need for research funding," and his well-padded Patreon full of gullible dipshits ("A fool and his money are soon parted"), plus sitting in his orgone accumulator getting high off the smell of his own farts and shit.
Oh yes, "cockscocks it's raining men hallelujah it's raining men," I'm often jealous of people whose heads are full of disjointed cacophonies of bullshit. I often sit outside mental asylums and sigh wistfully.
David Laughlin nothing stops you from making TH-cam videos gather a following and opening a patron account...prove Dr peterson wrong. Help others discover the light you have discovered. I would suggest it is a better use of your time than fighting with random anonymous strangers on internet
Kakarot Nothing stopping me from making TH-cam videos, but "prove Dr peterson wrong"? Sorry, but I don't need my life advice from a psychologist with a clinical practice in which he fucks around with the shit in other people's heads without even having a clear understanding of the shit in his own head, and there are others who have already made videos on Peterson. Where's the "fight," exactly? Merely two individuals expressing two opposing opinions. I also don't need advice on how to allocate my time.
I hear the word "Orwellian", but this strikes me more as Kafkaesque. She wakes up one day, is summoned to an office where she may or may not show up, but where there's an understanding she should attend. There she's met with people who won't go into any specific charges, won't reveal any accusers, seemingly blind to the judicial process of which they are instruments in, subtly turning her objections into further proof of guilt for crimes that are only implied. I mean, it's like I'm reading the book all over again. Soon she'll be walking the hallways of the campus with the principle which will tell her stories of a man, a door, and a guard.
The students and colleagues ignoring Lindsay reminds me of when somebody in my family died and all my colleagues just acted awkward and didn't know what to say. They were thrown into something outside their experience so they just put their eyes down and went quiet. I'm guessing Lindsay has more supporters, and more enemies, than she realises but that most people don't know how to react in her presence.
That's a pretty good analogy. In my experience, most college students hate SJWs, but each one of them thinks they are the only ''anti-SJW'' in their group.
Smart girl, glad she recorded this. When I start telling friends and family about this going on. It's like they think, oh it's really not that bad. But it is, so I can let them see this. My family is going to get to listen to this at X- mas time. I'm sure this will enlighten them. Need reasonable ppl to see this for what it is.
it would be such a waste for this lass to disappear into insignificance. she has such a sense of integrity, and honesty about her. I'm actually a little tearfully at the thought of such waste. I really hope she finds the right person, and path, that will allow her to continue on her academic journey. what a lovely lass. great interview sir.
It seems more and more people in America and Canada are starting to realize how significant and corrosive is the growing influence of Islamist, Communist and extremist Socialist groups (which often cooperate with each other) within their society.
This interview was so satisfying on so many levels. Gad, I really hope she takes you up on your offer. The academy desperately needs good people like Ms. Shepherd.
This is one very thoughtful, well spoken and intelligent young lady. There is still hope in the world. The struggle she faces in her decision is one that only someone with courage would have. Any lesser person would have given up and run home. Kudo's to you Lindsay, you have now been added to my list of modern cultural heroes.
I feel so sorry for all of you in Canada I know we have issues in US but this is just Shock and awe. We are very blessed to learn from your shows. Bóg Zapłac na wieki wieku Amen
We need people like her in my generation. Too many are prone to go with the flow and be coddled, not paying any attention to it, but while I talk to them about it, they tell me how they hate the way things are.
Reason and discussion alone is why the postmodernists have taken over. They took over by playing for their team and fighting for a common purpose while the people trying to be fair and objectionable had no idea that they were part of a game in first place. Furthermore, reason and discussion is not a shield for dogmatic cravens to hide behind while the world changes rapidly around them. There are mass graves all over the world filled with people who were good at reason and discussion, and not much else. It's important, yes, but only a bishop on the grand chess board. You have to play with all pieces to win.
Then what do you guys propose beyond discussion? Fighting them physically? Trolling them? Supressing their freedom of speech somehow? I yet dont see what hiding the individual behind a flag can actually bring. You guys seems perfectly reasonnable and well educated on the subject. The trolling serves nothing. The green frog is bad press for our side. Do you see this girl screaming all hail the Kekistan! She would lose all the credibility she has right now. So yeah, whats on the menu? What the plan beyond discussion?
@CSC Unit "Then what do you guys propose beyond discussion?" For starters, realize that there is a game being played. There are teams, players, spectators, referees, winners, losers, and a winner-take-all prize. The game? Power. The prize? Money, life, and obviously power. Secondly, understand my earlier point that discussion is only part of the equation. Consider the Supreme Court. Many verdicts ultimately come down to which team (political party) appointed the majority of the judges. It involves discussion, yes, but the tribalism aspect can help ensure that the highest court in the land is in the ideological hands of the political party that most closely resembles your own beliefs. That brings me to the second point: VOTE. There is no shortage of elections and people running. Red-pilling your friends about what is going on is great, but ultimately voting gets the job done. Get educated about your political beliefs, and cast your ballot for the person that you think best represents them. I know its not much on its own, but en masse it is extremely powerful. The silent majority is also sadly very ambivalent towards voting, and it shows in how the West is structured politically. Most people think what is happening in Canada is BS, yet the kind of people that create and enable these situations are the ones being elected into government. If everyone voted, who knows what our society would look like. "Fighting them physically? " Yes. Most people don't want it, myself included, but history shows time and time again these situations come to a boiling point, and the side most prepared for the fight usually wins. It's not like the radical left hasn't harmed anyone for their ideology. Any physical action should be done in self-defense, and it is advised to record these altercations in case you get some juicy material. If things get really nasty, people will be drawn-in regardless of their political beliefs, and the radical left (or right) does not have a good record of treating people they have defeated kindly. "Trolling them?" YES! It works, a lot. Memes and trolling are important and cheap forms of propaganda. Disliking left-wing videos on TH-cam is in its own way, propaganda. Again, en masse, it is very effective. "Supressing their freedom of speech somehow?" In a legal sense, no. Too dangerous. From a societal point, hell yes. The postmodernists have not, and likely will never have any trouble using political correctness to make people think twice about opening their mouths. Why can we not use our brutal yet non-violent ridicule of their stupidity act in the same way? Ridicule, however rational or not it may be, is a very powerful tool for limiting what people say. The postmodernists use it, and so must we. " I yet dont see what hiding the individual behind a flag can actually bring." Then you obviously have never studied military aspects of history. There is a reason why we use flags. They are powerful symbols of unity that have been used to generate acts of heroism, as well as strike fear into the hearts and minds of enemies. You do not see the merit in flags because you do not see the merit of unity or group identity, or so your statements have led me to believe. I don't like identity politics either, but if we must have it, I want as many people as possible on my approximate "side." "The green frog is bad press for our side." Nonsense. Pepe helped Trump become president. Who gives a damn about what the lying scum in the media have to say about the subject anyways? We have our own media, and unlike theirs, ours is growing. "Do you see this girl screaming all hail the Kekistan! She would lose all the credibility she has right now." More nonsense. Firstly, "the Kekistan" is incorrect. It is either just Kekistan, the Kekistanis, or the Kekistani people. We're not talking about "the Ukraine" or "the Congo." Secondly, saying that would undeniably generate her even more fandom worldwide than she already has. Does that answer your question?
Welcome to the Ministry of Truth. Hearing her closed door bullying reminded me of the ominous passive aggressive threats by cowardly educators throughout public school. Good thing she recorded it.
Yay Lindsay!!! You are truly the embodiment of a heroine! You had no desire for fame, you came at this with a pure heart and with noble intentions, and when faced with evil (yes, evil! True evil never appears with horns and a pitchfork, rather it comes under the guise of virtue...), you stood your ground and summoned all the courage in your heart and faced your attackers! Good on you and may your path be a sunny one!
In love with Lindsay rn she very serene and rational, hope to keep hearing more from her in the near future. Truth wagon departing soon, everyone on board!
Gad: Thanks for doing this interview. Lindsay Shepherd has more wisdom, intelligence, understanding, knowledge, dignity and gumption in her little finger than the WLU President and the 3 bullies combined.
That was terrific that you offered for her to study under your tutelage. I hope she takes you up on it. I understand her reasons why she would consider staying, but she already spit in their soup. I hope she looks out for #1 and gets a real education she can enjoy, learn, and grow from.
Alex --- The cat referred at one time to the cat of nine tails that was kept in a bag in the crews quarters. When the cat was out of the bag somebody was going to get a whipping.
She is intelligent. That's nice.
She's got good looks. That's just fine.
But she is also able to form and defend her own opinions in an environment where the press for conformity is enormous.
And that's what really makes her special.
Thinks JP was wrong... epic fail.
cringe
Look at all the feminists celebrating the strength and kudos of this brave woman!
Oh... wait, what?....
No it's her looks that make her special.
BigLBA1 … cut her some slack: she's just 22, so there's a really high probability she'll come around and see the light, no?

The audio of her meeting was chilling. I wish her all the best.
I would like to commend her parents. Great job, raising an independent young lady.
D. Saunders so true!
What command do have for them?
As someone who recently graduated from the liberal arts, people like Lindsay are a breath of fresh air. No more safe spaces, no more trigger warnings, and no more idiocy.
The more I hear from her, the more impressed I am. Bright, articulate and wise beyond her years. Young people like her give me hope for the future.

Naw.
It’s too tired to ask the job.
Public pillorying is satisfactory. 3 days in the stocks.
Tough chick. Roughly speaking.
In my estimation you would be right.
something something, snakes in a whale's belly, something something... I aren't articulated as you was. But I tried anyway.
secv you have no idea what you're on about.
The fact that she had the courage to record that interview in the first place... dimwit
secv She's still a woman, what do you want? Still more balls than her supervisor.
I wonder if nobody complained at all. Maybe the prof just found out what she talked about and made up the complaint.
Arden wouldn't surprise me. Plus if it's a hate crime she has the right to face her accuser. Although it is Canada so I'm not sure.
It could have been someone passing by the class, or a student not in the class that heard someone talking about the class.
It wouldn't surprise me. I've had to deal with people like that.
If they have too many friends in too many positions, it doesn't matter what they made up, they will win, unless you can escalate it further to proper courts.

The Dude Abides time stamp?
The Dude Abides nvm found it 14:00
Pretty sure this didn't go as Laurier planned...
Only because they got caught....without that recording she's but up shit creek with not a paddle in sight....
Bear River I only watch *CRAZY VIRAL VIDEO SHIT* bro
Bear River ..yup welcome to the digital age. Can't intimidate or violate people's rights when they are recorded.

Who wouldn`t anyone cry when faced with infinite stupidity??
aurora123borealis
I've got a feeling that she cried more from frustration than anything else.
The Gadfather to the rescue again. Always there for the early interviews.
Jonas5188 agreed. i was wondering who i’d see her on first...rogan, rubin...etc. when i saw this i just had to smile...
As a Canadian living in Ontario, kudos to both Lindsay and Gad. Canada is lucky to have people like you fighting the good and necessary fight.
Out of dark nesessity, another hero of free speech is born.
Brilliant as ever. Lindsay is very measured and incredibly smart. she seems to be dealing with the situation very well. they always fuck with the wrong people.
It's refreshing to hear how she stood up for herself during the inquisition.
Showing such sense is frowned upon by the religion of Social Justice.
We need about 10 million more Lindsay Shepherd's in universities and colleges across North America!
"Songs written a thousand years from now"
Dr Saad confirmed time traveller.
I think her story is super important. I was both scared and appaled when I listened to her recording of the meeting. This was great. Thank you both.
Very kind of you to offer Lindsay your tutelage.
Good for her! I’m impressed she’s been able to stand her ground:)
After a crying jag, but OK.....
Well, I could feel her frustration but I'm a chick sooo...lol
shes a modern day George Zimmerman
Glad to see her on here. Miss Shepherd, thanks for the work you're doing.
I don't see how she can continue at Laurier, having called her professor 'insane' [which he is] on YT. In a just world, he would be sacked and she would be praised.

I'm so glad the battle of ideas is being fought by such a smart and beautiful person. Your guest Lindsay was also nice, too.
I hope Dr Peterson could go and interview her in person. She needs to be encouraged
Nah, Peterson is too busy peddling Orwellian AI, "personality trait tests" with a price tag, "self-authorship" bullshit with a price tag, the supposed "need for research funding," and his well-padded Patreon full of gullible dipshits ("A fool and his money are soon parted"), plus sitting in his orgone accumulator getting high off the smell of his own farts and shit.

How great is it that we have such a forum?
Great interview! I hope Lindsay also has an interview with Jordan Peterson and they can discuss more about where they agree and where they don't.
It's comforting to know that there are still strong, brave people in the world.
Thanks Gad, great interview :)

Well said, Gaad and Lindsey. Fight on for freedom of thought, speech, and expression.
The Gad is strong in this one.
Thank goodness there are sane voices amidst all this utter madness.
She has my support. I've been saying that schools have been like this for years now.
Thank you Mr Saad for being a leader in the quest for truth and fairness, and for bringing on great guests.
Great conversation! Can't wait to see her on Rubin, Peterson, Rogan....
her smile is intoxicating
A stunning beauty... and the girl is cute aswell.
friendly face LoL
Boy that made me lol
What a brave girl and how honest and upright in character!
Smart girl, glad she recorded this. When I start telling friends and family about this going on. It's like they think, oh it's really not that bad. But it is, so I can let them see this. My family is going to get to listen to this at X- mas time. I'm sure this will enlighten them. Need reasonable ppl to see this for what it is.
A very brave lady. Lots of support from South Africa.
it would be such a waste for this lass to disappear into insignificance. she has such a sense of integrity, and honesty about her. I'm actually a little tearfully at the thought of such waste. I really hope she finds the right person, and path, that will allow her to continue on her academic journey. what a lovely lass. great interview sir.
This was such a great interview. Two brilliant academics who can see through the current madness and stupidity.
She is wonderful. Her intelligence and control of her emotions is brilliance magnified!
It seems more and more people in America and Canada are starting to realize how significant and corrosive is the growing influence of Islamist, Communist and extremist Socialist groups (which often cooperate with each other) within their society.

What a wonderful ray of sunshine! I will be emailing this to my three children
ive never seen a more gorgeous human being in my life. Lindsay is also nice.
Sooooo glad that you and her talked!!!
Im glad this burden falled on someone so strong and articulated. I wish her sucess and good opportunity to her. Thanks for the video Gad Saad.
Hi from Australia. Way to go Lindsay. Good on you for standing up to the bullies and shining some sunlight under the rock they inhabit.
Cheers to the both of you!
Great conversation. Love the recruiting effort. Lol. Mr. Saad, you are a teacher to the core. I wish I had instructors like you growing up.
Level headed, resilient, not too high voice.
Glad she came here.

Great episode, you're both Canadian heroes, keep it up guys. Real Canada is behind you.
Fantastic interview. Hope to see and hear more from her in the escalating battle of the minds.
Great interview, wonderful to see moments with laughter during this fiasco stressful time for Lindsay.
We need people like her in my generation. Too many are prone to go with the flow and be coddled, not paying any attention to it, but while I talk to them about it, they tell me how they hate the way things are.
What a lovely woman, its great to have a sound young mind out there fighting the grand battle of ideas!

Fuck off with your tribalism. The whole post modernist problem can be handled with reason and discussion alone.
Reason and discussion alone is why the postmodernists have taken over. They took over by playing for their team and fighting for a common purpose while the people trying to be fair and objectionable had no idea that they were part of a game in first place.

"Trolling them?" YES! It works, a lot. Memes and trolling are important and cheap forms of propaganda. Disliking left-wing videos on TH-cam is in its own way, propaganda. Again, en masse, it is very effective.
"Supressing their freedom of speech somehow?" In a legal sense, no. Too dangerous. From a societal point, hell yes. The postmodernists have not, and likely will never have any trouble using political correctness to make people think twice about opening their mouths. Why can we not use our brutal yet non-violent ridicule of their stupidity act in the same way? Ridicule, however rational or not it may be, is a very powerful tool for limiting what people say. The postmodernists use it, and so must we.
" I yet dont see what hiding the individual behind a flag can actually bring." Then you obviously have never studied military aspects of history. There is a reason why we use flags. They are powerful symbols of unity that have been used to generate acts of heroism, as well as strike fear into the hearts and minds of enemies. You do not see the merit in flags because you do not see the merit of unity or group identity, or so your statements have led me to believe. I don't like identity politics either, but if we must have it, I want as many people as possible on my approximate "side."
"The green frog is bad press for our side." Nonsense. Pepe helped Trump become president. Who gives a damn about what the lying scum in the media have to say about the subject anyways? We have our own media, and unlike theirs, ours is growing.
"Do you see this girl screaming all hail the Kekistan! She would lose all the credibility she has right now." More nonsense. Firstly, "the Kekistan" is incorrect. It is either just Kekistan, the Kekistanis, or the Kekistani people. We're not talking about "the Ukraine" or "the Congo." Secondly, saying that would undeniably generate her even more fandom worldwide than she already has.
Does that answer your question?
Thank you both. Greetings from Peru.
Welcome to the Ministry of Truth. Hearing her closed door bullying reminded me of the ominous passive aggressive threats by cowardly educators throughout public school. Good thing she recorded it.
I am very glad to hear about what this young lady has done.
An open invite to study under The Gadfather!?! Nice!
LOL She better not be interviewed by the _wrong_ people.
Another great clip from the majestic one..
great conversation thanks for the share
Great chat Gad, Lindsay is one brilliant gal.
Yay Lindsay!!! You are truly the embodiment of a heroine! You had no desire for fame, you came at this with a pure heart and with noble intentions, and when faced with evil (yes, evil! True evil never appears with horns and a pitchfork, rather it comes under the guise of virtue...), you stood your ground and summoned all the courage in your heart and faced your attackers! Good on you and may your path be a sunny one!
I highly doubt anyone complained, but either way north America needs young people like Lindsay in roles of academics, and human resources.. 👍
In love with Lindsay rn she very serene and rational, hope to keep hearing more from her in the near future. Truth wagon departing soon, everyone on board!
It boils my blood to see such a sensible and intelligent young woman being treated this way by these intellectual thugs.
her smile makes me smile. ty lindsay
Gad: Thanks for doing this interview. Lindsay Shepherd has more wisdom, intelligence, understanding, knowledge, dignity and gumption in her little finger than the WLU President and the 3 bullies combined.
Lindsay PLEASE stay in the Humanities! They need educators like YOU!
But if you leave I can't blame you. You are great and keep up the good work
Very lucky (and surprising) that secretly recording a conversation isn't a crime in Canada yet.
Something tells me that will soon change.
11 states in the US require "two-party" consent to record any conversations, even those in person.
Angry Shamrock what if a recording is made incidentally, and a third party "discovers" and "leaks" the recording?
It's kind of amazing that this young woman has the ability to reason given the limitations on argumentation in the current education climate.
These institutions should find themselves before the courts charged with the corruption of humanity !
Thank God she recorded it. Even I would have had a hard time believing that it was as extreme as it was without the recording.
That was terrific that you offered for her to study under your tutelage. I hope she takes you up on it. I understand her reasons why she would consider staying, but she already spit in their soup. I hope she looks out for #1 and gets a real education she can enjoy, learn, and grow from.
nice interview! Thanks Gad and Lindsay!
What a special young woman, good for her!
Completely full of awesome! Great talk.
Cat's out of the bag. And thank goodness it's a woman like Lindsay who opened it. Very happy for it.
Alex --- The cat referred at one time to the cat of nine tails that was kept in a bag in the crews quarters. When the cat was out of the bag somebody was going to get a whipping.
Smart and beautiful! The guest was interesting too!
I LOVE the way she says "about". A very subtle Canadian accent comes out when she says it and it comes out kinda like "aboot".
Lindsay, you're amazing, all thinking people are with you, don't stay where you're not wanted; you've got thousands behind you.
wow loved the bit about consequential ethics! it really explains to me the safe-space, social justice thinking
I would have complained to the prof that his TA is way too hot for me to concentrate.
God bless good women!!! We need you so bad right now.
