UCP members were asked, “Is there anyone else you want to lead?”

Justin as an Eloi
At a recent online lecture hosted by Ralston College, Dr. Theodore Dalrymple talked about H.G. Wells book, the Time Machine. He reminded me of the Eloi and the Morlocks of that book. The Eloi elite lived on the surface of the earth, vegetarian, peaceful, effeminate, and shy. The Morlocks lived below, running the machinery of the earth; they were hard and physical people.
No middle ground
I am regularly surprised by friends and acquaintances who don’t share my sense of joy at the Truckers’ Freedom Convoy. Without fail, they view the invocation of the Emergency Measures Act as justified and necessary.

Journalists in the legacy media persist in asserting that Pierre Poilievre, who has consistently preached small government and Canadian freedoms, does not have a coherent policy.

In Victoria, British Columbia, there was a massive show of support for the truckers. Some banners and signs agreed with a ‘no vaccine’ sentiment. They were a minority. Most of the placards simply supported freedom for Canadians and the right to speak and assemble.
Beware the Ides of March
Stephen Harper secured the leadership of the Canadian Alliance on that date in 2002 and the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada, again on that date, in 2004.
Police in Victoria
Police in Victoria, British Columbia. These are two of the five at this intersection. All the men were armed and dangerous with two squad cars, one pick-up, and three barricades.
