I am coming to believe that many Canadians do not value freedom. They do not attach any importance to a right to demonstrate or speak their minds.
Canadian Freedoms
Your Vote
My soul is not improved by voting for Progressives. Neither is yours.
Gagged
The worst was the RCMP physically restraining a reporter from the daily briefing by Justin, Trudeau the Second. The reporter was registered and properly certified as a member of the Parliamentary Press Gallery. But the reporter had filed a story unfavourable to the government.
Exit Here
Life is becoming difficult; I have now added a sounding of views on The Truckers Freedom Convoy to my checklist before committing to spending time with anyone.
Especially if I don’t have an easy exit.
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.
Pierre Poilievre, and the Legacy Media
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.
For some depressing reading
These articles by Tom Flanagan should be read, but they will not take you to a happy place, that is for sure.
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.
Be afraid
Two moments in the last two years:
First, Rebel News, a member of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, barred by the RCMP from participating in a news conference with the Prime Minister, on instruction from the PMO. A police action, demanded by a political office, barring a qualified (registered and named member of the press gallery) journalistic outlet.
Common sense ain’t so common
he first casualty of the Wuhan Flu was common sense.
It is still on life support and in a coma. But there is hope.
We are still the True North, Strong and Free.
