Cant is a form of 'chant' - often used to denote a melodic chain of sounds that don't necessarily have much meaning by themselves. I think that here, the 'ideological cant' is merely a negative reaction to something that was recited, perhaps something heard over and over so much that it has lost any true meaning. Context would help to confirm or deny my theory.

'Cant' - insincere, especially conventional expressions of enthusiasm for high ideals, goodness, or piety.
