I'm so sorry to hear this, Jamil. I have enjoyed listening to your show. It had true diversity of thought. Your segments with Wilfred Reilly were always among my favourite. I tuned in to your replacement for a few minutes and was disheartened to hear her, and her guest, pushing covid vaccines on kids. So that was the end of that. And it was also a huge sign that something was up.
I sincerely hope you do well on Substack. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.
Hi Jamil, I am definitiely disappointed (but not surprised) in what happened to your Show. I only started listening to you last summer when I found your show by fluke and you definitely made me laugh. After that I tried to never miss an episode. You were the first person in media that seemed to speak about the same questions and issues I had been thinking about but seemed like such a minority in my opinion. You helped lift my head out of the sand on a number of issues and helped me take a few steps (although very small) to speak up in my own personal and work environment. thank you.
Welcome to the heterodox community, Jamil! I really enjoy your perspective and look forward to hearing more. It is so important to challenge the stereotyped narratives that have become so commonplace these days. Of course black men can have a wide range of thoughts, opinions, and life experiences, just as anybody else can. When we can recognize that then perhaps we will truly achieve the diversity and inclusion we seek as a society.
Jamil, I think the capitalization of Diversity and Inclusion is an indication, perhaps inadvertent, that the adherents of such programs see it as a religion — and indeed a very particular set of beliefs, which seem to me to have little to do with more common understandings of small-d diversity and small-i inclusion.
That possibility aside, I appreciate the thought you put into what you do and your willingness to both listen to other perspectives and stick by your views, even when you risk material harm for doing so. We need more people who are willing to take such stands.
I didn’t know about you until I heard your interview with Tara Henley. I am glad I know about you now and look forward to following you and telling others about you going forward. All the best!
Jamil, I listened to you regularly on the only talk radio station where I live. You were the only sane voice. The only sane voice on mainstream media that I have access to. You stood up for our rights and freedoms and you were vocal about your faith. You are a Christian and not ashamed to admit that at a time when Christians are cowering in the caves (except for Artur Pawlowski and a few others on Rebel News). You shared your true thoughts about issues, not leftist dogma and propaganda that you were being pressured to share. So enough was enough. Sad to see that CBC and Bell Media have both gone full Marxist/Fascist, not to mention Global and CTV. No room for diversity of thought. If we don’t all stand up for Freedom, we will all be asked to leave the table (more likely dragged from it in handcuffs, perhaps to Auschwitz). I'm surprised they didn't label you a White Supremacist. I knew this day would sadly come and believed that you continued to last as long as you did, due to the colour of your skin (I literally thanked God for the colour of your skin as you continued not to be cancelled). It is not good for diversity counts to fire a person of colour, but too much reference to Jesus and too much dissenting thought against the Marxist/Fascist agenda guaranteed your fate. Thank you for your integrity and courage in the face of tyranny. I have shed more than one tear listening to your words on radio. I will miss those but will follow you here and be much better off. Mainstream media is dead. The tyrants are insane and have pushed the people too far. If they aren't running for the hills they should be. Continue to be bold and do not waver. Your courage is going to increase the ground swell of the tidal wave which is going to wipe out the straw houses the tyrants are hiding in. They are finished. Guaranteed. Thank you. The people of Canada thank you. The people of the World thank you. Turns out Canadians aren't so wimpy after all. The tyrants made a foolish mistake attempting to turn Canada into Venezuela. Not going to happen.
PS: Thank you again for your courage. Thank you for being True North Strong and Free.
As George Orwell said, in 1984: “If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it.”
Perhaps they are currently doing just that. Interesting, don't you think, that the CCP outlawed 1984 by George Orwell the same week they outlawed electronic versions of the Holy Bible?
Another one for the good guys, as in, great to have you on Substack. Sorry about the precipitating event that led to it. Good start. I look forward to discovering your story. Comment engagement quickly became my favorite Substack feature. It's so refreshing to bat ideas around in a space full of thought leaders and contributors brave enough to present ideas, defend them and engage with others who hold different ones. I experienced two such incidents within the last day. One piece repelled me at first. Through respectful discussion, I think we both got a different perspective on a covid issue. We're both the better for it. Big fan of the format. Nice to have you here
I'm sorry to hear you went through all that, Jamil. That's a bad taste to start the new year. But now you've had a look into the belly of the thing as a young man.
The questions which you took to your superiors presuppose that they had cogent arguments to back up their statements and that they would engage with you in good faith to discuss the same. It sounds like one or both of those were false.
It is often assumed that politicians/C-Suite executives have arrived at a conclusion deductively. They have often not; rather, they already know their preferred solution and need to espouse a pseuso-ethical or -scientific rationale to justify getting there. For instance, all of the biggest problems of our era have the same solution: a corpogovernmental body of central planners requires unprecedented public funds, employing a new technology to save a helpless group of citizens from otherwise certain suffering. It sounds like, for a brief second, the primary goal was to fire you.
God knit each of us together. We are each peculiar in our own way. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take your newsletter.

Enjoyed your show as it represented lots of different viewpoints. Had no idea Bell was so "woke".

Hi Jamil, this may sound off topic but I’m serious, would you ever consider starting a school?
