“An Explanation of Recent Events by Scott Saad”
“How much truth is contained in something can be best determined by making it thoroughly laughable and then watching to see how much joking around it can take for truth is a matter that can stand mockery that is freshened by ironic gesture directed at it whatever cannot stand satire is false.” – Peter stalterjig
Scott Saad Speaks Out
Hi everybody, this is Scott Saad. I’m currently in between shows as part of my media tour and I wanted to take a moment to address the recent controversy surrounding my comments about the Quebec accent. Last week, during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s show, I made a lighthearted joke about accents, including the Quebec French accent. The joke was meant to be humorous and exaggerated, as is my style of humor.
However, this innocent comment has sparked a wave of outrage and hateful messages directed towards me. Despite my long career as a professor and author, it seems that this one joke has caused more backlash than anything else I have ever done in my professional life. The hyperbolic phrase “an affront to human dignity” that I used has been a recurring element in my humorous style, used to exaggerate my dislike for various things in a playful manner.
In Defense of Humor and Free Speech
This incident has made me reflect on the importance of humor and free speech in society. A proud and confident culture should be able to withstand mockery and jokes, without resorting to hate and threats. Making a joke about an accent should not result in a barrage of insults and threats towards someone’s family. It is a dangerous path to go down when simple humor leads to such extreme reactions.
I believe in the power of communication, understanding, and forgiveness. Let’s not let a joke divide us, but instead, let’s use it as an opportunity to come together and laugh at ourselves. Let’s build a society where different opinions and humor are celebrated, not silenced.
We Want to Hear from You

Les anglo-saxons (รฉcrire en franรงais, possible maintenant) connaissent l'habitude d'une hรฉgรฉmonie en Occident et aussi dans le monde.
Maintenant par le mondialisme, les peuples anglophones comprennent que leurs propres รฉlites pourtant รฉlues appliquent un programme qui ne concerne plus vraiment les nations de ces pays.
L'immigration de masse crรฉant partout en Occident un axe qui n'est plus celui des peuples, plutรดt celui d'un monde sans frontiรจres crรฉant ses problรจmes de conflits culturels, plus cette idรฉologie woke qui cherche ร culpabiliser les majoritรฉs d'hier.
Les anglophones de tous pays doivent saisir comme en Grande Bretagne sous ce Starmer mal รฉlu, comment les nations non anglophones ont pu subir l'hรฉgรฉmonie britannique puis amรฉricaine dans le passรฉ.
You Tube c'est l'algorithme et lร en tant que Quรฉbรฉcois francophone suis tombรฉ par la critique du wokisme ou de J.Trudeau ou K.Harris sur une vidรฉo de G.Saad. Dรฉcouvrant Gad Saab.
Dans une vidรฉo faisant critique de Kamala Harris de son idรฉe de contrรดle des prix, l'entend dire G.S que la loi de l'offre et de la demande รฉconomique peut trouver une sorte de mรฉtaphore rรฉaliste dans le nombre d'ovules produites par les femmes en plus รฉlevรฉ que les spermatozoรฏdes des hommes!!
C'est plutรดt faire conflit brute entre la spรฉcificitรฉ de l'รฉconomie de marchรฉ et celle propre ร la biologie humaine. Apprenant qu'il est de la biologie รฉvolutionniste qu'il fait une rรฉfรฉrence bizarre au parasitisme, lorsque l'ensemble des รชtres vivants en espรจces par la chaรฎne de la vie se dรฉvorent mutuellement. On le sait. L'humain pouvant par sa force cรฉrรฉbrale davantage s'extraire de la loi du vivant.
Me suis dit comme c'est de l'outrance de dรฉfinir ainsi directement les formes de vies par le parasitisme, lorsqu'un tel raisonnement a donnรฉ l'aventure un jour en Allemagne du nazisme et de tout le racisme explosif qu'on y a trouvรฉ.
La sphรจre intellectuelle de Saad sans l'accuser de cette idรฉologie emprunte des sentiers troubles. Ainsi lorsqu'il a dit que le franรงais quรฉbรฉcois en parler est un affront ร la dignitรฉ humaine. On comprend que ce soit envers l'hรฉbreu ou le portugais, langues qu'il dรฉconsidรจre, que cet auteur a de curieuses inclinations rรฉactives.
Si plusieurs d'entre nous ne disent rien sur sa critique du wokisme ou de Justin Trudeau qui lui tente de nous noyer dans une gauche totalitaire contre les Quรฉbรฉcois et y compris contre tous les Canadiens.
Monsieur l'auteur qui s'articule POURTANT ร la RAISON, grande Raison, devrait savoir comment sa propre idรฉologie darwiniste sombre dans le social-darwinisme britannique et franรงais du 19รจme siรจcle. Que c'est aussi un contre-modรจle qui menace l'รฉgalitรฉ humaine.
Jeez Gad, youโre way more intelligent than I am and even I would instinctively know not to do that. If only just to avoid all the hatred that would invariably come. You have all this other crap to deal with! Didnโt that little voice that we all have tell you โdonโt do thisโ?
The average Quebecker is like a panda in a zoo. It is so happy to be fed, groomed and looked after by the zoo keeper
and canโt realize they live in a Tabarnac de cage.!
It is so illuminated in virtue signalling that they blind themselves.!!
One truth in Canada is that one form of racist is tolerated and is against Quรฉbec. Mรชme si j'apprรฉciai ton combat contre le wokisme Gad, je te dis un vas donc chier. C'est une blague.
J'รฉtais choquรฉ par votre commentaire initial. Je comprends mieux votre point de vu maintenant. Cependant, je ne crois que vous avez mal mesurรฉ la sensibilitรฉ du sujet. Il y a des blagues qu'on ne peut plus faire. Connaissez-vous l'histoire des francophones d'Amรฉrique? Je n'aime pas tant la culture ยซcancelยป ni la culture ยซwokeยป, mais je comprends aussi qu'il y a des blagues qu'on ne peut plus faire. Quand j'รฉtais jeune, on entendait des blagues sur les tapettes (je dรฉteste ce mot), des blagues sur les noirs, des blagues sur les femmes… Ce n'est juste pas drรดle. Je ne pourrais pas faire de blagues sur les juifs ou les arabes. Ce serait inappropriรฉ. Vous semblez sincรจre quand vous dite que vous aimez les quรฉbรฉcois. Les quรฉbรฉcois ont le sens de l'humour, mais il y a des limites ร ne pas dรฉpasser. Le Quรฉbec bashing n'est pas drรดle du tout. Je peux comprendre qu'il y a des langues qui sont plus agrรฉables ร entendre que d'autres pour certaines personnes. Je n'oserais jamais le dire comme je n'oserais jamais dire ร quelqu'un que je le trouve laid!
I live in Toronto and I never heard about this until watching "Why Everyone Feels So Lost – Happiness, Success, Lex Fridman & Society Brainwashing | Gad Saad" with Tom Bilyeu at 1:26:22
No one is coming for him, no one even knows who he is.
Your joke was not a big success I suppose, it did happen to Chris Rock too. ๐ Next time, ask Sugar Sammy how to laugh at us, he is so good at it!!
So sad. The language WOKE cult. Poor children. I loved Quebec but its so profoundly stupid now. Word sound cult. So stupid. Problem is we are still liberals while the world becomes fascist.
Language is the new sacred in Quebec. And its absurd. I love French incidentally. Its what happens when you lose meaning and actual purpose. How pathetic. Growing up in Montreal was wonderful decades ago. Not so sure about these days. Have fun Gaad!!!
I love Quebec and was born in Montreal. The french in Canada were from Brittany…..not Paris. French Catholic culture was wonderful. Joyful.
If someone had said ''Jewish culture is affront to diginity'' you would have screamed anti-semitism. An accent is part of a people's culture. Your comment was utterly disrespectful, it is not a ''joke''. Shame on you. You insult people and then play the victim, reaping what you sowed. Stop the BS and repent!
โค
That supposed journalist should visit France, where his "French " could be scrutinized for "clarity". Then he could write his next diatribe
on why these snobby French persons are so dismissive of his use of " their " language. Of course only to educate// correct "their " –errors.
Well said Dr. Gad. I just read your book. This situation is a perfect example of a mind and a society infected by the most pernicious parasites. Keep up the great work and the wicked sarcasm. Cheers
The reaction is probably fair, not really grounds for you to plead the jewish hate victim card to the ADL here. its not the fault of classical liberalism, or wokism either. lol
No no no, don't start blaming cancel culture for your faux pas. What you said was completely unnecessary and hurtful for no reason. What journos think doesn't matter. However, regular people are upset and understandably so. These are the people you should be concerned with. You know how seriously the Quรฉbรฉcois take their language. Your words may have sounded playful to you, but it didn't sound very funny to us. I don't hate you, as a matter of fact I like you. It's been 5 months so everybody's moved on, so it's all good but be more careful next time.
Quebecois here. Yes our French sounds terrible. Youโre all good professor. They are the same people who get offended when they hear sugar sammy joking around. Sorry about them.
QUรBEC WELCOME YOU RIGHT
YOU HAVE A ACCENT FUNNY
What is an affront to humanity is those who, because they have had a higher education, give themselves the right to spit on others as you did on Quebecers,,, You lack respect for everyone who is not like you and you whine that your own hatred falls on your forehead.
Accept the consequences of your words.
Of course this is the only way you can fish for attention from the press. Saying Quebec french is an affront to human dignity and cherry picking responses from people you offended. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame. You can tell it's a very good joke when you have to make a 16 minute monologue backtracking and explaining yourself.
'This is an affront to human dignity'. I am going to use that phrase now because I think that it is funny.
Pourquoi 'es anglophones prรฉtendent que le franรงais quรฉbรฉcois n'est pas du vrai Franรงais alors qu'ils n'y connaissent absolument rien. Ils n'ont pas l'authorite morale de critiquer une langue รฉtrangรจre!!!

Affront to human dignity : ยซ a personally offensive act or word; deliberate act or display of disrespect; intentional slight; insult: an affront to the king. an offense to one's dignity or self-respect ยป…VRAIMENT ?
The 'media' are at this point, a sad representation of the circus that's come to the West in order to subvert everything wholesome in our culture. These people are not journalists, they're activists, and fully paid up puppets of the powers that should no longer be.
A sure fire symptom of wokeness is a complete lack of a sense of humour.
As a Quebecer (born and raise and from lineage) that joke was pretty funny not gonna lie. I have difficulty telling what are nice language and what are not, but it was still funny.
Well you comment has made many Quebec-bashing Canadians very glad, I'm sure. Stick with marketing and psychology. Comedy is not your forte.
Gad, si tu avais pris le temps de bien expliquer que tu comprends la rรฉaction vu l'histoire du Quรฉbec par rapport ร notre langue et que tu te serais correctement excusรฉ tu aurais passรฉ pour un Hรฉro. Malheureusement tu t'es dรฉclarรฉ comme la victime de la situation…
It is important to realize that Quรฉbec has a diglossia phenomenon with 2 languages: joual which no one outside Quรฉbec understands and standard Quรฉbec French which is spoken in the media for example.
I can speak joual which I don't find particularly attractive and it should not be called French or Quebecois French which can be understood internationally which joual is not
It is a shame, that in this day and age, with so many real issues to cover as a journalist(?) this is what he makes a big deal of. He should hear the wall to wall joking you can hear here in Australia. We are always making fun of ourselves.
Why would anyone live in a country that isn't free?
I travelled thriugh Quebec in 1996 and immediately noticed that the road signs were all in French, a language I don't know, so giving me the freedom to interpret them as I saw fit. In my mind, the signs were saying: "Here you will get ze good food, not zat muck you get across the border".
Beatles Jihad? John Lennon did say they were more popular than Jesus, but I didn't realise he meant their music was Mohameddan.
We should remember this because it shows woke has a history.
If Quebeckers truly wanted independence, they should separate themselves fron the idiot Canucks who have joined the global woke hysteria.
To us Anglo-Saxons, all French accents sound musical, including Quebecois and Seychellois, which only the Parisians scorn as being unsophisticated.
Portuguese is like Spanish after you've had one too many, and you change all s sounds to sh. Thanksh.
It's the upper class English accent that is an affront to human dignity. Retract the lower jaw to the vicinty of the Adam's apple, put the upper teeth over the lower lip, and go "haw yah wah haw" to get some idea of how it sounds. Quebecois is positively musical in comparison.
I am french (Gaspรฉsie).. and in no way offended.. some accents are worthy of satire and we all know it..Nothing to be dramatic about. But what that journalist did seems like diffamation of character.. I'm sorry for the wave of hate you and yours received. THAT should have consequences, not your opinion. May I suggest that the intent behind this was an attempt to silence your voice and had nothing to do with that silly accent comment.
I find comical and sad at the same time, that as a Psychologist and a Marketing expert, you put yourself in such a situation. Maybe you need a refresher and also realize that you live in Canada. Your remark was an insult, especially when made in a foreign country. (Don't try to disguise it as a joke). You obviously have some sub-conscious problems with Quebec and many others things…
Instead of publicly criticizing "les Quebecois", you should congratulate them for managing (as a former repressed minority) to have preserved so well their culture, their language and have resisted assimilation, "envers et contre tous".
At your age, I suggest you become a bit more serious and go back to our roots in Lebanon, for a couple of years, just to observe and reflect about your own nemesis and downfall. What is happenning in that country, is the real insult to human dignity. Once back in Canada after that visit, you might write a useful book and have some interesting podcasts. You could also become conscious, that it is wise, not to bite the hand that fed you!!
P.S. Je ne viens pas du Quebec moi-meme, mais je crois avoir le bon sens necessaire pour savoir apprehender la psychologie sociale, comme il convient. Bonne continuation …
Just ignore the cancelers, they suck ass and are immature twitter stans
Canadian parliament is censoring itself..well…whadayya think
I agree with you. Quebec French is horrible. I partly blame Michel Tremblay for popularizing the cacophonous Montreal east end voice. Prior to his debasing the language.
Cassivie doesn't realise that Bill Gates is the dark overlord ๐
Gailge is our national language in Ireland. Most people use English as the every day language. A native speaker explained how to me how to speak native like a native speaker. He said pretend you swallowed something gross and try to throw it up
This sa(a)d story reminds me of the novel "The Joke", by the late Kundera. Societies ruled by tyrants, autocrats or corporate, lack any sense of humor; always been so and always will.
You got carried away while listing your jokes about things that are an affront to human dignity. Justin Trudeau literally is an affront to human dignity.
Its a joke now. ๐
Hahaha
Now its funny.
What a dick
