What Trump Said And The Manufacturing Of Disinformation

"She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Okay? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, we’ll send tens of thousands of troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’”

Gist: Send her to fight and see if she likes it. 

China now is building a couple of massive plants where they’re going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they’re going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border. Let me tell you something to China, if you’re listening President Xi, and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans, and you’re going to sell the cars to us? No. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars. If I get elected. Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath, for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars.

Gist: Bloodbath for the automative industry in the United States.

“Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group.  But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides.  You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did.  You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”

Gist: Both sides had good and bad people. 

These are among the most popular misquotes. There are dozens more like this where "media" misrepresented his comment. He's guilty of being a poor speaker. 

Reading comprehension and full context matters.

Who are the spreaders of misinformation?

Gaslight Science: Canada's Establishment Experts Call For An Inquiry

So here I am minding my business and I come across this Tweet on X by Globe & Mail health writer Andre Picard calling for an inquiry into the Covid response.

I had to unsquint my eyes to make sure I was reading right.

Oh yes, they did.

The same group of experts who helped to ferment a moral panic promulgating dubious measures culminating into a frayed civil order  and who largely not changed their stance want an inquiry. 

What's galling about this is that there's already an inquiry. It's called the National Citizen's Inquiry (NCI) that has been ignored by the media and the likes of Picard. It has collected hours of invaluable testimonies and data showing the negative trade offs of the very measures the expert class pushed. I've been listening to NCI. It's quite the unnerving inquiry.

Alas, it's a 'wrong think' inquiry. What these people want is an inquiry made up of science-cronies. Brought to you by Pfizer. 

If you're skeptical and worry that this will be an exercise  conformation bias I agree with you.

Why?

Well, Picard himself argued that life for the unvaccinated had to be made impossible. He wasn't alone. This was the prevailing view among The Experts TM. He earned an Order of Canada for his tireless work in promoting divisive science. 

Joe Vipond is also calling for the inquiry. There isn't a bigger salesman for masking than this doctor. /Looks into his Twitte account. Yup. Still at it in 2024.

And then there's our dear old friend the cocky David Fisman. Canada's version of the loathsome Peter Hotez and most hated epidemiologist among the sane and rational. I've written about this guy in the past. Let's recall this is the same fella who called for the closures of schools in Ontario. Turned out he was getting paid to promote this position by the teacher's union. As if that conflict of interest wasn't bad enough it's worth noting - and Fisman likely knew this - that by April of 2020 we knew according to science and data that kids weren't vectors and that there was no danger in keeping schools open according to many studies from not just Europe (including Turkey)but even local studies from Barcelona, New York and North Carolina. Yet, Canada along with the United States went ahead with it anyway at a tremendous cost.

Think this inquiry will look conduct a cost-benefit analysis here? Of course not. Luckily, people interested in truth and science already have. So we don't need them.

It doesn't end there for Fisman. During the height of the mandates, the government was under pressure to end them. The Trucker's protest (a protest that enraged the expert - though they were curiously silence when BLM protested - social justice over public health was one slogan) challenged the government to rescind blatantly unethical mandates rooted in politics and not science. We knew at that point from that the government admitted their decisions were politically motivated and that Theresa Tam at PHAC didn't request for mandates that included the only domestic travel ban for citizens violating mobility rights in the Western world. The protest was the largest in Canadian history.

Think of how much of a pernicious impact the mandates were having that a normally obedient, docile and apathetic Canadian population were galvanized into such an act. It was an event that could and should have been wholly avoidable with a touch of courage and real leadership. Not a single voice from the expert class with the mic in the "media" spoke out or even lent a voice of reason. 

Instead, it was more divisive rhetoric and vitriol directed at fellow Canadians. A program of dehumanizing people meant that society was in permanent state of paranoia and fear.

Enter Fisman with his shill cape. Armed with a garbage in, garbage out model he published a 'study' that claimed the unvaccinated posed a threat to the vaccinated. With that 'Hate Science' was born. And buffoons likes former Olympian Adam van Koeverden (Mr. Canoehead) got up in the House of Commons and read Fisman's report. 

No one ever apologized for such a grotesque display of overt animosity to Canadians. It's worth noting van Koeverden had been in an online altercation with a woman eventually leading him to tell her "fuck you'.

Who else could make the list of esteemed panelists? 

Perhaps Timothy Caulfield? Every time he Tweets an snti-vaxxer or pharma skeptic is born. Potty mouthed Angela Rasmussen? Isaac Bogoch, Colin Furness, Don Vinh, Eric Feigl-Ding, Eric Topol, Rachel Walensky, Mandy Cohen, Bonnie Henry and so on can fill up the chairs nicely.  

Quite the roster to tell us we didn't lockdown and mask early and hard enough. That disinformation was challenging their authority and that as a consequence censorship is necessary. That communication could have been better. Despite all they asked for was given. That Sweden was wrong. That 'targeted mandates' are the way to go. That more curfews were needed. That we didn't put enough social distancing stickers on the floor. That we didn't limit enough items to be purchased. That we didn't perform as well as Pavlovian Dogs. 

Do we really have to watch experts scratch their heads wondering how public trust was lost? 

Poo-tee-weet?

What are the odds dissenting voices will be heard from nurses to experts to the vaccine injured and everyone in between? 

Low I'd guess.

This is no longer about truth. It has become an obscene war of information where ethics was a casualty and pseudoscience rose to stake its claim at the table of the scientific-medical technocracy.

You can bet your bottom dollar these people see nothing wrong about how they approached things. That they were indifferent to the freezing of bank accounts or that businesses were lost. Or that people of faith couldn't attend Church or that the unvaccinated were denied life-saving transplants? 

You call this public health? Whatever that means. The whole notion of "public health" should be scrutinized and questioned now.

None of that matters and it won't be featured with an inquiry stacked with the same messengers.. 

Perhaps I'm cynical and jaded. But I wasn't impressed. At all.

How can you possibly think vaccine passports and masks make any kind of difference other than to piss people off? They're tools of control and little else.

I could be wrong. I hope I am. I wish I was. 

Alas, I've not seen an inch of humility showing that perhaps they could have done some things better with a focus on human dignity and civil liberties.

It's all part of the 'do something, do anything hysterical safetyist' culture we've become.

Elect Clowns, Expect A Clown Show

For those who have been watching the proceedings in Parliament and committees (especially the STDC scandal) over the last couple of weeks, what you've witnessed is what happens when a government loses the moral authority to govern.

It has lost all sense of its purpose spending its energy ramming through ill-thoughtout bills without much public input and consultations while trying to defend itself against an endless stream of allegations of corruption.

The antics of Liberals in committees is nothing short of astonishing and embarrassing. Here's Erskine-Smoth making an ass of himself in committee.  Poor guy. His "integrity" was questioned. So he proceeds to act with no dignity or integrity. This is not the first time we've been treated to spontaneous acts of vulgarity from Liberal MPs. Van Koeverden and Virani immediately come to mind. A Liberal supporting  civil servant named Dwivedi went on a filthy vulgar rant not so long ago. Again. Who sets the tone for this? Trudeau isn't exactly known for his calm composure. Elbowgate was a good example.

Grace under pressure ain't their strong suit let's just say.

For those not interested, seek out the committees into the STDC scandals. The shameless and infantile tactics of delay and obfuscation by people like Drouin and Khalid made a mockery of the whole thing. 

The tone of this childish behaviour comes from the top and what we have now is an aimless bare-boned Parliament slinging mud in the House of Commons. It's full out chaos.

The Opposition is doing its job. Holding the government to account. But this government is refusing to be transparent and deal with the scandals they've created. 

Canada is in a desperate need of a change of government. The longer this farce goes on, the longer the colony suffers. 

Enough already. 

Daily Derp: Be Careful Out There. It's Derpy

It's been a while. I've been wanting to comment but there's so much out there, I lost the energy to bang these out. It takes time to think things through and there's just too much. Much has happened that hasn't made into posts but such is life. I've been observing as I always do. So I'll jump right in and condense some stories into a Daily Derp. 

One topic I was hoping to cover was the Foreign Interference Commission like I did POEC but I simply didn't have the time to sit and listen to hours of testimony (and lame government excuses) for a commission that may or may not be a show trial. Who knows what's going on anymore? I've been listening in parts and hope to listen to clips at some point but for now, I've been following Steven Chase and Sam Cooper - and others.

One thing is clear is that we don't have a serious country wallowing in moronic mediocrity. 

None of it reflects well on the Liberals. Yet, there are people out there who claim to be listening and concluding that the report will be devastating to the Conservatives.  All political parties are targeted but a picture is developing where all facts point to the LPC being at the centre of all this. 

Just another level of scandals for a derelict corrupt government. I don't doubt there are conservatives in the list of names nor do I doubt they were targeted and matt have done nothing to deal with it but isn't that the point of the inquiry? Isn't this a problem across all parties? 

Now the defensive PMO and Trudeau are trying to play up the murder of some bad guy on our soil by India story again. But here's the thing. It's not the 'win' or distraction they think it is.  Is that event not an example why FIC is taking place? That a foreign government committed an extrajudicial murder on Canadian soil points directly to the very reason why there's an inquiry. That is, years and decades of Canadian irreverence - and now possibly treacherous - behaviour leads to this result.

It's a legit Keystone Cops mess. It's such a disaster I don't even think Canada is capable of fixing this. It's a mindset ingrained in the political establishment. I have no idea how this country hasn't been invaded yet. 

What's funny about all this is that Canada once considered Ernst Zundel (who ironically was part of left-wing and liberal parties) a 'national security threat because he denied the holocaust happened. Holocaust denialism was idiotically made illegal in Canada. I don't agree with it but I don't believe people should be thrown in prison for their opinions. Nevertheless, he was a 'threat' but China, Iran, India and Russia interfering in our elections is not seen as a threat given our inaction on the matter. Particularly where China and Iran are concerned who threatened Canadian citizens on our soil with no consequences. Alas, nothing makes sense here. Truckers were a 'national security threat' leading to the illegal invocation of the Emergencies Act but pro-Palestinian protestors swarming Trudeau's RCMP detail are not. Criminalizing such acts set a bad precedent we don't want to necessarily mess with. 

I'll stop here. My guess is in the end, FIC will be like POEC. Hogue will say "bad boy" and give her recommendations that will be ignored. And nothing else will matter or happen.

If there are to be consequences it will come by way of how our allies treat us moving forward. Already, we're seeing signs of Canadian being frozen out while the U.S. American intelligence apparatus is basically monitoring Canada like the tin pot banana republic colony it has become under Trudeau.

Canada is a colony of dimwitted whores open for business allowing for all sorts of criminal activity to run rampant.      

But hey. Lowest inflation in the G7 and "best country in the world".

Uh-huh.

Moving on.

As usual, not edited. I have to bang these out on first draft. Apologies for any grammatical errors. 

****************

Let's look at what makes Canada so splendid. Oh. Here's an example. Our judicial system and the Supreme Court of Canada. Where in the U.S., conservatives hold the balance of power (and by conservatives I mean fair-weather ones as Coney-Barrett, Kavanaugh and Roberts can easily swing either way so it's actually a decently balanced court), Canada is 100% liberal. Not just liberal but  woke social justice liberal. They've swallowed whole the climate change and vaccine "safe and effective" narrative. 

That's fine. So long as they're impartial right?

Nah.

Chief Justice Richard Wagner doesn't even pretend to be neutral. As I've written in the past, his public outbursts tainted any reasonable belief that the court is fair and objective. 

Chief has entertained us with his most (ahem) enlightened takes on disinformation while suggesting the government wasn't hard enough on the protesting trucker's convoy who broke no laws. In doing so, he basically admitted the Emergencies Act was acceptable with the subsequent freezing of bank accounts. To make matters all the more interesting, a Federal Court ruled the invocation of the Act was illegal. File Under: No shit. t was plainly political as were the futile and unethical Covid restrictions. Harumph.

And despite the fact that pretty much everything the government and public health officials coerced on people were proven pointless, Wagner said citizens need not bother filing any lawsuits because la, la, la he's not going to listen. If the measures had no negative impacts on people it's one thing to hold this unfortunate posture but people were harmed. Many people. It's all there in NCI to see. Including four residents of Coutts, Alberta who were basically railroaded and turned into political prisoners by a vindictive government look for its pound of flesh to make examples of. 

All this could and should have been avoided with true leadership. 

Yet, he's denying Canadians their right to be heard and present evidence contrary to the government's untenable narratives. It's worse than that, when they chose to not hear Peckford et al, he gave the government the green light to maintain the position that these measures are merely suspended and not fully rescinded and ended. In other words, if it so desires, the government can lock the country down again "because emergency" without the need to present facts or evidence. Just declarations will suffice. You must take this shot. You must wear the mask. You will social distance. You are to remain in your home.

It's all so incredible if not spectacularly stupid. 

And it was with most interest I read this piece in Harvard Law Today titled "Is a distrusted judiciary 'truly the beginning of the end'?'

Um. Yes?

I think it was Beccaria who argued once the public perceives there's no justice they lose trust in the institutions - in this case the courts - tasked to ensure justice is served.

It astonishes me how people don't see that 2020 shattered any illusions we have a fair and functional judicial system. It has steadfastly refused to listen to Canadians. In doing so, it has shown deference to the government. It will not defend Charter rights if there's no will from the public. They have dubiously argued because the measures were ended (recall suspended) it's not in the public's interest and that the matter is now moot. But how can they determine this without giving Canadians their day in court?

Forcing people against their will under the threat of loss of employment or removal of rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights and as far back as the Magna Carta and even document since (as was, for example, the case with the denial of mobility rights and idiotic vaccine passports supported by just about every influential expert in this country) will come with unintended consequences. Pretty amazing that people in positions of great power and influence aloofly disregarded a basic premise of human nature: People don't like to do things against their will. 

You don't apply a coercive one size fits all policy in a free democracy. It's bound to cause friction and you'd better damn have the evidence to back your claims up if you're going to ruin lives.

And they didn't. So for millions of Canadians, public health is a failure and the court not to be trusted for blindly backing them up. 

Let's break down the article:

"Canada may not be a superpower, Canadian Supreme Court Chief Justice the Hon. Richard Wagner told a Harvard Law School audience on Friday. “But I like to think we are a superpower in terms of democracy.”

Not since 2020 we are. And certainly not with all these bills from C-11, 18 to the Online Harm's bill. Canada ceased, to me, being a functional democracy and when Canadians tried and pleaded for courts to step in, they were instead mocked. 

Canada has no lessons to give on democracy. It chose to play this way.

He defined this as “good justice for all, rather than perfect justice for a few.”

His public outbursts tell a different story. 

"Access to justice is both an elusive goal and a “democratic imperative,” he said."

But access denied to people challenging the Covid measures? Italians, Irish, Negroes, Jews need not apply.

“The spread of lies and half-truths can threaten democratic institutions throughout the world,” Wagner said. “Open and transparent courts are an antidote to misinformation.”

I find this assertion troubling. Who is he to claim there's a spread of "lies"? Is he reading it in the news? If so, which news? The legacy corporate media? Where's he getting his "truth"? It's hard to find the truth if you're not going to allow for dissenting voices to present their evidence, no? Here he shows that the only truth is what the government says it is. 

Canada is very good at talking a good game and very bad at playing it out. 

“Citizens in any country governed by rule of law need to recognize themselves in the institutions, including the courts,”

I hear this claim made by liberals but not sure it's correct. This is a variation of identity politics. Wagner is making his social justice credentials known.  What should matter is people see BLIND JUSTICE in the system. Once you assign culture and race to law, you're on your way to all sorts of multiple-standards leaving you vulnerable to perception of laws being applied unevenly. 

” Every Canadian federal judge is now required to take courses in systemic racism, sexual assault law, and systemic disinformation. “All of these topics are relevant to access to justice, and we have taken steps to export that expertise outside of Canada.”

This is an example of Judges are being fed a steady diet of left-wing Marxist propaganda. What in The Blazing Saddles is "systemic disinformation"? Can Wagner not see how problematic and frivolous this argument is? Alas, we all know the law associations in Canada are full blown leftists.

Wagner is over rating this 'expertise'.I'm willing to bet 1) it will be rejected in most places in the world where wokism is non-existent and 2) even in the West we're likely to see a shift away from all this empty jargon. My bet is Canada bet on the wrong horse. It has a knack for that sort of thing.

I reject this notion. Outright. It should be removed from the judiciary immediately. 

“In Canada, I am happy to say that we are going in the right direction. Out of the last 70 appointments of federal judges, 50 percent were women. We have people from visible minorities, and from the LGBTQ minority as well.”

DEI in action. A quota system in full bloom and flight. Wagner has taken the judiciary into uncharted territory based on an assumption that 'diversity' is the same as diversity of ideas. Instead, what we're going to get is an increasingly intolerant judiacry that will simply deny access to those it perceives to be guilty of promulgating "misdismalinformation.' 

Take a gander at how the internal logic of DEI actually works. 

Don't act shocked - SHOCKED - by the result in other institutions. 

DEI portends to be on level with merit and that it "equals" the playing field. 

It's not and it doesn't. 

“In Canada it is very hard, in fact nearly impossible, to determine where a judge will stand on a specific legal issue. We have no such thing as a political appointment.” 

Prior to 2020, I would have believed this. After 2020? I've become skeptical. Again, simply basing it on what's happened where Canadians were denied their rights and the courts slammed the door on them. It even went as dark as to not hear the case of an unvaccinated woman - Lewis - who was denied a transplant. I think the courts in Canada are highly politicized. It's just that the line between the executive and judiciary is basically blurred so we think we're not politicized. The entire decision to not listen to Covid lawsuits IS politics by other means. SCC rulings don't come with the same explanations for opinions. 

I don't think Wagner quite grasp the role he played in the fall of trust in public institutions. Over the years, I've read more American opinions than Canadians ones. In fact, I never read a Canadian one. SCOTUS are intellectual works of arts sometimes. I've not been impressed by the opinions of judges during Covid. They read exactly what you'd expect from an institution committed to DEI. Unoriginal, tedious and predictable. I don't think I'm taking too much of a chance in arguing Canadian law - so full of itself - will offer much to the process of democracy should it ever get back on track. We'll be outside of that track. 

They can ignore the real anger and discontent over what happened during Covid all they want but it's there.

And it's not going to go away until people are heard. 

Take that for access. 

**********

Maybe Parks Canada and Fema should merge. Sounds like they exchange notes.

What happened at Jasper? Well, we won't find out under the most transparent government EVAH!

**********

Ok. Since I went over with the SCC bit I'll close with the carbon tax.

To anyone with a modicum of sense, the tax is just that: A tax. 

Shorter PBO: Rebates don't offset net costs. 

On top of that, they're charging  GST. A  tax on top of a regressive tax that in the end doesn't result in the desired outcome. It won't because the premise that carbon is a main driver of emissions causing the opaque "climate change" is a faulty one. One that is dubious and hotly disputed by several experts some of whom are Nobel laureates. But shh. Stick to Nye, Suzuki, De Grasse-Tyson and the climate-green-grift complex. 

You heard the propaganda. 8 in 10 Canadians will get a rebate higher than what they paid in taxes? If you're over 30 and believe this crap, you really need to sit it out. It's on the same level as 95% effective, 96% consensus and 4 in 5 dentists. 

It's bull shit and you should know better.

Especially given it comes from a convicted felon who has consistently been found to be less than honest with the Canadian public. He's an activist. Nothing else.

Another claim is that it's revenue neutral. I spent many years in financial services. One thing I was good at is spotting empty jargon and that's one of them. Schemes like this are never neutral. 

Never. 

Then why do it? Same with the 8 in 10. Why take the money in the first place?

Oh. Right. It's better than doing nothing! 

Net cost considers the overall economic impact, and not just the fiscal. When just the fiscal aspect is considered, they can argue that the rebate is higher than what taxpayers pay into it. However, when you consider how a tax impacts all levels of the supply chain, you get a net loss. Not gain. It’s not rocket science. In other words, what cost, for example, $1 to transport, say, corn is now $1.25. And that finds its way into higher food prices at the end of the supply chain. That’s the economic part in simplistic terms leaving aside inflation and possible corporate pricing games.

It's stupid to think a tax doesn't impact household budgets eating into discretionary income.  it's even dumber to think a tax as a means to social engineer habits is going to have an impact on the environment. 

The story isn't good for Canadians. Imagine Quebec which levies its own 'cap and trade' tax system. I'm pretty Quebecers are even worse off than their Canadian brethren. 

We're all worse off for nothing. Pretending otherwise is:

A tax on a tax shouldn’t just be illegal, it should also be considered IMMORAL.

Snap out of it and stop contending to wealth distribution schemes that don't benefit you.

Thundertards Rule Over Us

I'm all un.

I've danced around the issue for some time but no more.

Let's face it. Commies are in the system.

Or Marxists.

Whatever.

Sane shit, same colour.

Red.

The worst part of about it is the tedious yellow livered "intellectuals' in the West can't admit that at the end of the day they're lousy commies.

We've normalized commie ideas and theories so much n the preceding decades it's become fused with liberalism.

People can't tell the difference anymore between a progressive liberal and a Marxist. 

When a dingbat like Kamala Harris babbles about price controls or unrealized capital gains (but it's only for $100 million and more! I swear people who believe this should get their right to vote revoked. It takes a special kind of naif to keep believing sociopaths and psychopaths taking what they say at face value) with people applauding it and you call it out for what it is: Marxist economic theory, they deny vehemently it is or that they're Marxist.

I'd respect them more if they'd just come out and admit it. 

The United States and Canada is crawling and infested with Marxists pretending to be liberal democrats. They're just illiberal authoritarians. 

Harris's father is a Marxist economist. Ditto Buttigeig. Former Director of the CIA John Brennan confessed to being commie sympathizer in the 70s even voting for a commie candidate. Obama was part of the Socialist Party of America. The Trudeau's were close with communist  China and Fidel Castro. The Bidens have strong economic ties to China. Chrsystia Freeland's family swam in Nazi waters while she governs like a globalist illiberal authoritarian. 

We're scratching surfaces here.

And these people aren't in far left parties like Labour in the UK and the NDP in Canada. Imagine how many reds are in those parties. As it stands, according to Canadian intelligence, there are many MPs on China's payroll. 

Let us not speak of academia. We all know they drink red. Well some of them anyway.

Where there's smoke...

But let's forget for one moment the ideological bent of our elected officials. Calling them leaders is inappropriate. They're not leaders. They serve other interests beyond their countrymen. 

The colony of Canada is but a land mass of whores and sluts open to the highest bidder (s). If there's anything we've learned since 2020 is that Canada is an all too willing participant in all things illiberal globalist. It's infested with traitors and grifters serving the interests of a post-national state with no self-dignity or principles. Occupied by Pavlovian colonials injected with misplaced faux-righteous smugness. In Canada, obedience is a virtue. It's where 1984, Brave New World and Minority Report will find a nice little home. Like in the UK and Australia. And the USA.

What is it with Hypoborean Germanic-Frankish-Angloworld and its hyper-hypocritical attacks on liberty? We go from one extreme to another. 

Southern Europe doesn't have these mood swings mostly because it doesn't rile itself up with all sorts of romantic bull shit about freedom and liberty. I reckon they're just too tired as a civilization to even bother. It's exhausting to pretend all the time.

What I've seen in the last four years in Canada and the USA hasn't impressed me one bit. Our legal system is a joke. Our medical establishment is fully captured by pharma. Our 'media' enslaved by corporatism and subsidies. Nothing works.

And none of it serves the people.

Let's not get into the impossible myth of doing things for the 'greater good' and notions of 'public health'. If the individual is weak then the public at large manifest as a community is weak. The top down approach to health starting at the collective level is foolish. It's where the 'one-size fits all let's eradicate medical autonomy because individuals are selfish and too ignorant to listen to their credentialed betters' stems from.

Did they listen to wiser minds endowed with a calm sober disposition warning to not be so insipid?

Of course not. 

They've only tripled penetrated down. Too much money, grants and reputations at stake.

Expect really bad results.

The dogmatic obsession with vaccines is bizarre to no end to me. Alas, I'll leave that to another post. Suffice to say, you know you're fully captured when someone like RFK Jr. merely asks for SAFETY PROTOCOLS for vaccines is met with shrieking irrationalism. He wants to kill us all! 

We've come full circle. Whenever someone dissents just say they want to kill us. After you called them a racist. 

Wanna shut down safe-supply injection sites? Why, you want to kill us all.

Don't wanna wear a mask? Murderer. 

Dare to exercise your right to not get any vaccine? Why, you're worst than Lenin and Stalin combined*.

*From people who basically think like authoritarians. 

Don't want to wear a helmet on a bicycle? Selfish. And killer.

But. State sanctioned murder like the MAIDS program. That's ok. It's rebranded as 'compassion'.

Have you seen those videos of what abortion really looks like? Yeh. Nor murder. Just a 'right to choose'. Except when it comes to vaccines. That's different.

My personal favorite is the latest racket grifters have clinged on to. Disinformation. We're at a standstill where freedom of speech is concerned. Snowden and Assange were the first notable personalities the authorities went after for warning about privacy and freedom of expression. After Dorsey left Twitter and the Twitter Files were made public by Musk, he said something along the lines of he was not prepared to deal with the censorious state. Now Zuckerberg has expressed regret for allowing Facebook to be pressured by the Biden administration.

Having an opinion and expressing it is a no-go at the moment. In the UK they bang down doors arresting 11 year-olds for sharing memes. Raping children by minority groups is fine. So brave.

Canada is, unsurprisingly being the remedial colony that it is, on course to make pre-rhought a crime in Bill 63. Should we be surprised when you have a government made up of C-grade bobbleheads who sat at the back of the resource class? When you're an illiberal with no courage any opinion is a threat to you. Justin Trudeau at this point is such a spent and useless force he's been reduced to canned and contrived robotic WEF agenda globalist talking points whenever he's challenged by a real journalists - a rare species in this colony.

In sum. You have an opinion that goes against the established fabricated narrative? You wish death upon us all.

Truckers bad m'kay? No matter the evidence. Feelings and perception trumps evidence in our courts AND public opinion.

Nice combo. Here. Have some goofy fries dipped in retard oil to make it a trio.

Everything's unhinged and upside down. We need to seriously take a step back and reassess...everything. 

But for now things have to get worse before they get better.

And they will get worse.

The quest and journey for liberty runs in cycles. There's hardly anything unique what's happening on that front. What's unique and more dangerous is the ability to control the masses through things like Digital ID creating a neo-feudalist world. That's the end goal.

Sorry but conspiracy theorists have been right all along since 2020. In fact, a case is building that they've been right since the 1960s. The pony-tailed 60s libertarian, and draft dodging liberal science teacher (at least those that didn't fully embrace illiberalism aligning themselves with neocons. A weird alliance between progressives and neocons have merged in the age of TDS) and John Birch Society conservatives. were the observers on top of the mountain watching it all unfold with a keen eye while normies just went on neglecting their duties as free citizens to even notice that our undeserved free life is potentially coming to a halt or end. 

When you're oblivious an iconoclast is seen as a threat.

Or just merely dissenting.

 La di da, la di da, la, la as Annie Hall said. 

Stupid people rule over us. And stupid people armed with degrees and credentialed letters are very dangerous. They're incapable of humility because they're stupid. They can't absorb different points of views because, you got it, stupid. They can but lash out and demand the shutting down of speech.

Lockdowns if you will.

They already did that. They fooled you into thinking the economy is 'just money' when in fact it's made up of PEOPLE. That's you and me.

And the damage done is incalculable.

No good comes from making decisions through moral panics and hysteria as I've been saying since 2020. That much was clear to me then and more so now.

We learned nothing.

Because stupid.

It's a world of Thundertards in control.

And they rule over us.

Now we can but wait until they complete their rampage of destruction and stupidity. 

Drink! 

Update

 Boy, it's been a while. I need to get back into this.

Overwhelmed by what I'm observing.

Notable concerns:

The medical bio-security state unfolding (finding expression through the WHO - heavily funded by Gates -pandemic treaty). and Digital ID. 

Disturbing trends in Germany and the UK where civil rights are concerned.

The outrageous treacherous corruption in Canada.

Hostile belligerence of the West in Ukraine.

The utter banal stupidity of Kamala Harris and the mess the U.S. finds itself in. She may very well be dumber than Justin Trudeau and a bag of river rocks. 

Commies are in the system. 

Among others.

Just a question of sorting out my thoughts.

Toot-a-loo.

Have A Good One, Rex

Rex Murphy has died.

I tip my hat.Big loss and the wrong time. One less fierce commentator and intellectual to enjoy during these utterly odious and absurd and dark times.

The force of his rhetoric and arguments were armed and laced with eloquence and elegance.

Condolences to all who knew him and RIP.

Of Measles And Liquid Gas

Just a quick one.

Turns out Canada doesn't mind making business deals for liquid gas.

Let's back up. A few months ago Japan and Germany came around asking for some of that sweet liquid gas only to be rebuffed by the government of Canada. But Canada then turned around and did this with Qatar. 

"Qatar Energy has recently entered into two agreements with ExxonMobil Canada to obtain LNG exploration licenses in the waters near Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. The collaboration in education and healthcare has played a significant role in enhancing the bond and connection between the citizens of both nations. "

Huh.

Look up Qatar. Then tell me how their 'values' line up with ours. Canada doesn't do values.

People are all surprised by this.

Should they though? 

This is very much in Canada's MO. Always was. That is, mercantilism never really left the colonial mindset of Canadians. Instead of just exploring and extracting the LNG ourselves and selling it on the market - you know, like normal countries would do - we decide to outsource it so that others can reap the economic benefits. Which is what happened when Qatar inked a deal with....you guessed it....Germany and Japan. Canada, recall, purchases its oil from Saudi Arabia while doing everything possible to not develop our own resources.

But then we have a carbon tax to reduce emissions. A measure that won't do anything because the basic premise of C02 driving temperatures is a false one. A monumentally foolish one. But that's not the point here. 'Zero' anything is just Marxist mumbo-jumbo nonsense. 

The point here is the head spins.

See. Canada is doing this to 'look' Green. They don't want to be 'seen' doing anything icky like selling the one thing that the world needs from us: Oil and gas. We're a natural resource based economy and the 'transition' from this is simply not feasible. 

In this way, the Qatar deal makes perfect sense. It's a head shaker for countries for sure, but here we are.

Canada 2024. Ruled by stupid people with not inner-core principles.

Not the brightest bunch are we?

And what has this gotten us?

It keeps our prosperity down (and I won't get into economics here) while ensuring we're the shittiest 'green' performer.

Ah, Canada.

Mediocre and proud of it.

Hey, as long as we're not American, right?

*******

What happened to measles? Weren't the unvaccinated going to kill us all? As vaccine confidence and uptake continues to sink (gee, I wonder why?), the 'experts' have been falling all over themselves trying to figure out why. Of course, it's not because of their own actions and rhetoric during COVID. Nope. To admit this would mean to be humble and courageous. They've invested too much of their reputations in sticking to the failed COVID narrative and now they must sink with it. They were to foolish and cowardly to course correct.

They learned no lessons which is why they're becoming more and more authoritarian forcing medical tyranny - for our own good.

The public is having none of it and this drives the paternalist-technocrats in the medical field mad.

They act like it's all new but they damn well know the real stats.

Everything is about driving moral panics now.

Don't let them make useful idiots out of you. 

There's a fine line between informing the public and propagandizing them. And boy are we heavily into the latter. 

I'm gonna stop here lest I get into a rant about people like Andre Picard - and 'ethicists' like Arthur Caplan and his dehumanizing nonsense. 

******

On the Arizona abortion ruling. I haven't looked into it yet but seeing the howls from the usual suspects - especially in slow witted Canada - I'm pretty sure it's being mangled and misinterpreted just like SCOTUS's ruling on Roe V. Wade.

But I will say Quebec is the LAST jurisdiction to pass judgment on any state or province on the continent. The sheer arrogance of this place is quite breathtaking. 

We have some of the worst metrics in economics here. A second rate collapsing public health system and other poor health outcomes. We're a laggard have-not province that firmly operates on a collectivist communistic model. 

Of course they embrace things like MAIDS and late-term abortions. They swapped the Church for the godless 'secular' state.

I'll end here. 

Carbon Rebates For The Commoners; Combatting The Climate Change Phantom

It looks like the carbon tax will become the key issue in Canadian politics.

The Conservatives think they've found their winning strategy and will use it as a leitmotif while the Liberals will continue to force through an endless stream of costly programs doomed to fail thanks to the  two minor status chumps NDP and Bloc Quebecois who prop up this silly government and a feckless Canadian "media" once again running to its defence in support of the tax.

The Conservatives aren't alone though. The provincial governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan oppose the tax without reservation and are willing to fight it. Nova Scotia has expressed its disapproval while Ontario Liberals who are seeking to dethrone the beaten down Ford Conservatives have announced they wouldn't impose a tax.  Quebec, being Quebec, embraces taxes. Quebec has never a seen a tax it doesn't love. It has gone Full Metal Marxist into the Green Grift. It will be left holding a big bag of nothing for its troubles. Well, the population will. The grifters will make out like train robbers.

Above al, the Conservatives appear to have the backing of the electorate. Thousands of Canadians - including truckers and farmers - are protesting in the streets the tax. Have we ever seen Canadians this engaged mobilizing protesting one of the most unpopular governments in history? I haven't.

Of course, the geniuses running and ruling this country won't listen. They will just accuse Canadians of being victims of Poilievre lies and everyone's favourite - misinformation and disinformation.

You will listen to ONE voice of propaganda pal. The state.

Sensing he's losing the plot, Trudeau first asserted provincial politicians did a poor job 'selling' the tax. Not everyone's a natural con man I reckon. But then came a 'study' by a group of 200 'non-partisan' economists extolling the virtues, without evidence, of a carbon tax. The timing was, erm, perfect. Then the usual suspects in media picked up the 'study' and explained to the population they believe to be Pavlovian Dogs that '200 experts' can't be wrong. Just like during COVID. 

Flatten the curve. 95% effective. 97% consensus. 200 experts. 4 in 5 dentists.

It's a marvel anyone listens to such silly appeals to authority.

Let's explore this on a basic and superficial level as to why a carbon tax at this time - if ever - is foolish and won't work.

In a nutshell? C02 doesn't drive temperatures. We've known this for at least 300 years thanks to England's tenacious tracking of climate and weather. It's a known fact. Like masks and lockdowns were known in the literature to not work and therefore never recommended as well as asymptomatic people were never known to be main drivers of outbreaks, the established data showed C02 is not a main driver of temperature. 

Why, it's almost as if the same people who run the climate change industry run public health. Follow that money folks.

Right here, the story should end. Ah, but it doesn't. This is Canada A leader in quackery. A laggard in reality. A lap dog to globalist interests.

How far behind the ball is this country? The trillion dollar climate change  system change industry appears to be on its last legs. When you have politicians blaming a housing crisis very much of their own doing - Hello Justin! - on climate change, you alert even the most unconscious of normies. 

The idea of the tax is to change habits. It's social engineering. Think masks and social distancing. How did that work out? They lied about it then and they're lying about the tax too. It's to limit consumption with the idea of reducing emissions with the goal of 'Zero emissions' by 2030 or whatever arbitrary date they set without a shred of empirical evidence. Just like they did during COVID. Nothing they pimped was backed by evidence based science. Nothing. 

But we already mentioned CO2 doesn't drive temperatures (weren't we supposed to have lost the UK, NYC and Coral Reef by now?). So how can this work? It can't. Because it's not about that. It's about population control - and money. These are measures to keep you in place like a serf. Meanwhile, the shysters peddling this nonsense from Justin to Greta to Kerry to Di Caprio to  one Al Gore continue to fly around in private jets leaving 'carbon footprints' the size of the hot air coming out of their collective asses.

And notice they're not stopping at one of earth's elements that sustains life. They're going after methane and nitrogen. And if you think they're not going to talk oxygen, you're mot paying attention.

You're dealing with a cult here. A cult filled with grifters, hypocrites, useful idiots, and stupid people. 

At this rate, they're going to propose taxing the periodic table of elements. 

The government and its adherents for the tax point out that people will be getting a 'rebate' greater than what they pay in tax. If that's the case, then what's the point? In any event, do they not grasp it's tax money being recirculated? They just take it and give it back. There's no benefit whatsoever. Not in your pockets and not for emissions. And it's not 'revenue neutral'.

it's quite alarming people are buying into this scheme. It's all nonsensical financial sophistry. 

Now let's look at some data and international examples.

Canada is the 7th largest emitter per capita in the world. It's the highest in the G7. I mention the G7 because Freeland and everyone in the Liberal establishment loves to cherry pick data when convenient to promote whatever economic success they want to cheer. Well, like having the highest household debt per capita in the G7, we're the biggest emitters. We're also the 7th largest gross emitter on the planet.

Some will say, 'Well all the more we need to put in a tax. It's the cheapest and most sensible way to achieve it!' Except, there's no evidence that it will or can.

Another issue is the biggest gross emitters in the world - China, India, USA, Russia - all don't expect to tackle emissions. The next two - Japan and Germany - just implemented carbon schemes. 

Interestingly the UK, Italy and France rank 17th-19th. Italy doesn't have a carbon tax. 

The carbon emissions bar graphs look a lot like COVID restrictions graphs. That is, they show no rhyme or reason proving they actually work. 

Sweden and Australia represent an interesting case. Australia tried it in 2012 and killed it in 2015 citing it was driving the cost of living too much. They claim it was 'working' but when you look at their bar graph (link above), you notice that emissions seemed have been stable. In fact they appear to have gone down after the tax was ended in 2016.

Sweden is an even more interesting case being wa head of the curve (Canada is a laggard by comparison) having put in a tax in1991 They claim the tax is a success but when you look at their graph, emissions were already on the down trend by 1991 from the 1970s.

It's the exact same ploy they did with the vaccines in the 50s. By the time vaccine program rolled out cases were down. And then they claimed 'victory'.

The question becomes - Why pretend? 

I think they want all these things to make a difference so badly they're willing to manipulate and force data to meet any result they want.

Like COVID cases and deaths and other stats, I'd treat climate change data with a grain of salt.

We'll see if what I laid out here will be proven more correct than not.

The Magnificently Evolving Magic mRNA Vaccine

We went from '95% effective; and ''take the shot end the pandemic', to 'no vaccine is perfect it prevents death' to 'no one said it would prevent deaths but it's reduce hospitalizations' to what we have now a 'to induce an immune response' dud. 

Please keep up to date. We don't know what we'll come up next. 

Any questions?

The Experts TM.

Great Barrington Fumbles Into Greatness

The quiet pictures town of Great Barrington, Massachusetts  was given the gift ff rationalism, science And courage during a time of hysterics sinking into an irrational moral panic by three respected scientists.

How did they respond to The Great Barrington Declaration penned by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (Stanford), Dr. Martin Kulldorf (Harvard), and Dr. Gupta (Oxford)?

With this nauseating and insufferably ignorant appeal to authority and scientism. Here, read it for yourself.

Of course, four years on both Fauci and Collins have all but admitted what they did was bunk if not shamelessly harmful. As did the spectacularly and woefully cynical Deborah Birx. But no one paid attention. Damage done.

Calling Fauci 'America's Doctor' when he never saw a single patient (like our own Dr, Tam here in Canada), is an insult to doctors. The ones who spoke out and truly cared for their patients specifically. 

The GBD was a masterwork of sane science in a time of superstition. The deniers, wrapped up in their amulets and garlic, could not see it.

Story of humanity.

Say their names. Because we don't get out of this to fix it without singling them out for accountability. Ot at least mockery.

Stephen C. Bannon, Chair

Edward Abrahams

William Cooke

Kate Burke

Leigh Davis

Of the five paddlers of 'Obey 'The Science TM" only this man Bannon remains.

The rest have moved on to spread the Good Word of Faucism and Scientism no doubt. 

Ironically, it's the very doctors who dared to speak out that the good name of Great Barrington was preserved. Indeed, kept great. 

Quebec: Just Shoot Me

Quebec is angry again.

What is it this time that got all the usual suspects riled up about language? 

The latest entity to run afoul of Quebec's linguistic warriors is the soccer body for North America CONCACAF.

No one is spared when it comes to Quebec's low self-esteem. 

The "scandal" goes something like this. Canada's head coach Mauro Biello was set to answer a Quebecer reporter in French when he was interrupted by a CONCACAF official asking him to keep it in English.

The body apologized for the incident. The issue should have ended there.

Why? Well, CONCACAF a good number of its membership are Spanish speaking countries so English is simply the governing common language. So the official wasn't technically wrong. The entire continent wants to hear what was asked and what the reply was despite Quebec's parochial disposition.

You can't go onto an international stage and start to bang on pots and pans demanding evernote bend to your sensitive linguistic demands. Literally, no jurisdiction acts like this from my experience. 

At this point into the post, I'd be accused of 'Quebec bashing'.

Except it's not. 

I'm posting out that it's one thing to make a provincial case out of language at hime but it looks hopelessly myopic on the international stage.

I checked out CONCACAF's Twitter page to see if language warriors expressed anger. Sure enough they did. And it looks silly.

The world sees that and rolls its eyes.

But in Quebec it's about 'respect'. The same people who go to Florida expecting to be served in French. I don't think it's respect in as much as its sophomoric self-absorption at this point.

The tired canards of 'we're n a sea of 300 million Anglos' and 'our language is threatened' have come out again in recent weeks. 

This fake scandal should have ended with the apology. Shit happens.

Not in Quebec. Nope. Let's blow this up. 

No sooner did this happen, it turns out there's just too much damn English in the QMJHL 

T-Shirts in English are unacceptable. It didn't stop there. Former NHLer Enrico Ciccone asked politicians to step in because there's too much English in locker rooms.

These people like in a bubble inside a bubble.

The Q is considered the weakest of the three leagues in the CHL. It's down to 60% Quebec-born players with a good chunk coming from out East and Europe. Where, you guessed it, the common language is ENGLISH.

It has nothing to do with respect but simple practicality.

Indeed, people coming here should learn the language and we should accommodate facilitating that they do. It's not easy to learn a new language. Especially a refined one like French.

The irony of course is that it's known Quebec doesn't even teach French properly in school. 

Quebec doesn't seem to understand respect is two- way. Not one. 

After the 'hoopla' the league announced 'no more English'.

Exactly how that respects teams based in Atlantic Canada and its fans no one knows. But Quebecers don't care. After all, they should just be happy they get to play in the Q is the attitude. Maybe they should consider joining the OHL? 

If I'm a parent considering a league to play in? I don't even go with the Q or even the CHL. I go the NCAA route. NCAA hockey is on the ascendancy. More importantly, you get a U.S. education where the opportunities are endless compared to Canada. Why would you restrict yourself to Quebec? The CHL isn't the only avenue to the NHL anymore.

The point is the argument of feeling 'threatened' no longer justifies these antics anymore. 

It's a form of linguistic bigotry and it's not seen anywhere in the West.

Yes, there are language laws in pockets of Europe but NONE go as far as Bill 101 (ie denying people to English language education), or Bill 96 and all it's insidious and odious punitive attacks on English. 

No jurisdiction anywhere in the West has the equivalence of a language police like the OLF.

The nationalists keep trying to find examples (Catalonia!) to defend their actions but in the end, a Quebecer can set up shop anywhere on the continent and they will be left alone. Have you seen Florida? This privilege is not reciprocated in Quebec. And this is just a fact.

Canada is officially bilingual. Some provinces have their own 'official' language laws but again, none go as far as Quebec does. They've pushed so hard, they can be viewed as human rights violations. 

But hey. 'Unique'.

Quebec's linguistic challenges are no different than anywhere else.

The difference comes with the strength and self-esteem of a culture. 

3 million Croatians don't feel threatened by 800 million Europeans. Ditto for 5 million Danes.  Or 11 million Portuguese. 

All these places have English widely present. 

But these are strong cultures. 

Quebec relies on punitive laws to protect it.

Maybe it's time to actually stand tall and protect your own language without suppressing another?

All that being said, the average Quebecer no longer wants to be isolated. I can't tell you how many times I've seen Quebecers in the States struggling to speak English. It's sad and embarrassing. My Gen Z daughter made the point that even French-Canadians 'don't want to miss out' on what's going on in the world. That means it needs to know English. It's ALL in English. By denying it here, it only further keeps them isolated. More than they care to admit. We on the other side see it everyday they're a step behind. Again. I say this not to bash but because I care and want what's best of Quebec. Alas, I don't see this ever changing which is why I'm setting things up to hopefully have my daughter leave. I see no future here. A total of seven people have left since 2020. More are talking and considering it. But this is another topic for another day.

All these laws, ironically, not only hurt our economy (the unseen) despite what the nationalists the and assert, it hurts Quebecers themselves. They look like hayseeds in foreign lands. 

This is the view from OUTSIDE looking in. The world is more connected than ever and with it the English language has become even more dominant as a common language. Time to become practical.

It's just shooting itself in the foot now. With the latest round with Bill 96, the next logical step is to ban English outright. 

It's time to just....chill.

And guess what? English is cool. 

Bad Friday: There Are No Coincidences

On Good Friday, the U.S. government as well as an army of politicians and government departments and agencies in both the U.S. and Canada, put out notices celebrating 'Transgender Day of Visibility'. 

There are no coincidences. This was deliberate. 

They just can't shut up even for one moment showcasing their Marxist arrogant and insufferable hostility towards Christianity like a bunch of pompous ignoramuses.

Justin Trudeau, the thing that wouldn't leave, chimed in with:

"Happy Easter! Whether you’re celebrating this holy day by attending church services with your neighbours, hunting for Easter eggs with your kids, or spending time with your loved ones, I hope you find joy in the togetherness that Easter brings."

Like most anything with this guy, his message gives a contrived vibe and lack of authenticity. Remember, our political rulers could barely care enough to condemn the burning down of Catholic Churches. All based on the lie that there were bodies of children in Residential Schools.

It should also be noted the lack of decorum and respect. It's spelled 'Holy'. Would it surprise anyone that he and/or his staff of sycophant dullards - along with amoral political hacks like Katie Telford - would spell it Him and God in lower case? Of course not.

These are faux-rational, hyper-secularized godless times. For a good snippet of that, just listen to the yokel-hicks in the Bloc Quebecois or any public 'intellectual' in Quebec. These people, being in such a cult, believe it. And hate you.

I remind. These went out on GOOD FRIDAY. That wasn't a coincidence. That was done on purpose.

Happy Easter

 

Quote Of The Day

Award-winning journalist, Alex Newman: 

"The "human-induced climate change narrative is merely a pretext for unelected globalists to control every aspect of your life, under the guise of "saving the planet".

"The notion that CO2 is pollution is absolutely preposterous..The idea that [it's] going to destroy the planet or change the temperature of the Earth is totally ludicrous. But from a totalitarian perspective, if you can convince people that CO2 is pollution, there's no human activity that doesn't result in CO2 emissions, including living, including dying, turning on a light switch."

"Every single aspect of your life, then, if we submit to the idea that CO2 is pollution, then comes under the regulatory control of the people who claim to be saving us from pollution."

"So how are they gonna get people to eat bugs? Well, a combination of propaganda, indoctrinating children and making you very, very hungry... The goal, folks, is not to save the planet. It's not about global warming. It's not about sustainable development. It's about enslaving humanity."

"They want to wipe out small and medium sized producers, centralise food control in the hands of mega corporations in bed with the mega governments. They want to move the population into the mega cities, and ultimately bring about this Great Reset and what they call the New World Order."

Quotes from Wide Awake Media.

Climate system change. This is all it's about. That's it.

Who in their right mind could possibly think banning plastic straws and carbon taxes doesn't do anything for climate or the environment?

They've come for elements that sustain life: Carbon, nitrogen and methane. Oxygen is next.

Watch. 

Snap out of it. These people are quacks. 

MAGA In Canada Is Liberal Party Projection

Have you heard the news today oh boy?

MAGA is here in Canada!

But is it true?

The best way to answer this is to look at the Liberal Party's own cozy relationship with the Democrat Party of the United States of America.

Through it, you see it's part conspiracy theory and all projection.

The Liberals have become gaslighting masters. Gaslighters, in case you haven't noticed, are not nice people. They're manipulative and vindictive. Why, some may say they're evil.

Alas, the point here is not to embark on this track as it's a daily routine for them at this point. One could easily put together a 30-m montage of all the examples of Liberal MPs engaging in gaslighting. Heck, they're flat out into flame-gas lighting now. 

Dresden style.

No, let's just stick to the fact the party obviously taking its rhetorical cue from the DNC. This was apparent almost from the get-go in 2015.

Now, it's worth remembering that America's influence on our political culture and culture at large is nothing new. We've been importing American ideas and concepts almost from when this colony became an independent colony. 

We could never quite figure out how to be and become Canadian. We just knew we inhabited a land called Canada but how to carve up a national identity betwixt the empires of the United States and Great Britain? Naturally, we looked to the American and British models. While in the end, Canada spurred the American model, it could not resist being intoxicated by many of its offerings. After all, we are neighbours sharing a land mass. Ideas flow more easily that way.

The dilemma reminded me of those Miller Lite commercials from the 80s where two sides who liked the beer argued that the best part of the beer was: Tastes Great! Less filling!

For example, the plight of our magazines always struggled to succeed against the influx of American publications that Canadians naturally gravitated to. 

Our nationalism gives the impression of a shepherd always trying to herd its sheep back into being Canadians. 'Come now, Canadians. You don't want to be reading that American crap. Read Canadian crap!'

We were never bold and confident enough to just get it done. Always looking for approval from our bigger and more serious cousins. 'You do you, Canadians. Whatever makes you happy. Now get on with it, will ya?'

Low self-esteem is not a good trait.

Philosophy is another. We imported all that progressive reform stuff, Fabian and Frankfurt schools socialism as well as eugenics. Sometimes I get the feeling we took those on a little too, um, lustily.

MK Ultra in the 1950s was a CIA psy-ops run out of good old McGill University. 

Our cherished social welfare apparatus is one imported from the United States too. It's the socialist idealism by way of the progressive era. 

Very little of what we brag most about is actually Canadian in its origin. 

Unless Canada was going to forge its own clear identity, it was always going to be an uphill battle with the U.S. lying there. On our border. Staring.  We simply failed to invest in ourselves. When all was said and done, we chose to become a branch plant society and economy. We rode the American coat tails of prosperity right into the G7.

And for decades it worked. 

Our prosperity and wealth were always below the U.S. but not too much.

Now?

We've decoupled and we're heading towards Venezuela territory. A bit hyperbolic but the trends aren't good.

So with all this being said, it was in the early 2000s that the Liberals continued the Canadian tradition of importing Americans to give them some helpful pointers in policy direction.

I seem to recall Al Gore coming to town to some Liberal establishment Laurentian elite shindig up in the Laurentians around that time.

The Chretien/Martin Liberals were flexing their anti-American muscles to show Canadian 'independence'. It was all theatre. A carefully crafted one that had been set up when an earlier group of liberals under Pearson and Massey in the 1960s tried to create a Canadian identity.

Their first order of the day. Design a new flag. The Maple Leaf was the best they could do. As an uncle obsessed, a tree that doesn't exist in the West was used to 'unify' the country.

No swords. Coat of arms. Or even a harpoon. Noting badass. Just a....maple leaf. 

So Canadian.

Over the years American titans like Hilary Clinton, Larry Summers (who orchestrated, or at least laid the tracks for, the 2008 financial crisis) and Obama came to town to speak here.

All was fine there. There was no equivalence of MAGA back then. Liberals are too refined for slogans on caps. They do it the old-fashioned way. At Beaver Hall with whiskey and fine suits. 

This is where Justin Trudeau was groomed by his groomers handlers. Trudeau didn't evolve naturally into a leader - he's not one - he was installed by the Laurentian Elite. That's why he's not going anywhere. It's not his call to make. 

They're not done with him. They need more time to prep Net-Zero hound and stooge for the flappy-headed Canadian oligarch Mark Carney.

Sure. The CPC has sounded populist. Some of it is MAGA-inspired. Yes, they've been flirting with populists over in Europe. But nothing on the scale of what the Liberals have been up to for 100 years. As usual, Conservatives are stuck behind the ball reacting. 

In the last few years alone it's evident the DNC and Liberals have been aligning and merging their narrative. Where Poilievre sounds like Trump the Liberals are all Maddow-Obama-MSNBC-Hilary-Gore with a good dose of The Squad led by the Marxist AOC in their messaging 

So there you have it.

The choice isn't Conservative v. Liberal.

It's common sense populism versus woke Marxism as dictated by the United States.

Good luck. 

 

Quote Of The Day

 "What is the essence of this crisis?

The essence of this crisis is that vaccines have completely destroyed the minds of the bourgeoisie.
That’s literal — overvaccinated people have too much aluminum and other toxicants in their brains.
But it’s also metaphorical. There was an entire meritocratic system developed over hundreds of years of science, learning, universities, and knowledge. Everything was always getting better and better. Vaccines were a technique that appeared like a universal good, unassailable, a great leap forward for humankind. And that turned out to be a lie of unprecedented proportions (from being a savior to now being the main tool of genocide). That fact has broken the minds of a large segment of society. They wander around angry, aimless, endeavoring to get as many injections as possible to ward off their feelings of being duped; but for many they are really just trying to hasten their own demise."

Dr Toby Rogers

Prior to 2020, I didn't think much about vaccines. I treated them like any medicine. With a healthy dose of 'meh' and skepticism. I didn't think they were bad and I didn't think they were an end to a medical end. For certain diseases, sure, maybe but overall? Again, didn't go beyond that.

Why?

Part laziness and part, like everyone else, because I trusted doctors and the experts. I had no real reason to join the 'anti-vaxxer' position. I read about them and even knew quite a few. At the time, I wasn't sure if they were quacks or onto something. But again, I erred on the side of caution and stuck with the idea vaccines were mostly safe with 'acceptable' risk without ever defining clearly what that line of acceptability was.

Then came 2020 and the 'experts' forced me to the other side.

I did not like at all how they mandated and coerced people into taking a highly experimental and potentially dangerous medical procedure with no proven track record of safety or efficacy. 

I did what the 'experts', public officials, shills, and other shysters pimping for pharma. I did - horrors! - my own research.

I have some experience in research. I almost started my own research company. I love researching. I have a university degree in history and have had some of my writing published.

Whenever I heard this, I wanted to, I won't lie, punch that person in the face finding it offensive and insulting. Don't drag me down to your lazy ass, smug, ignorant, weak level. You don't want to investigate for yourself? Fine. But shut up about it. You sound like an asshole otherwise.

I grew up in the late 70s and 80s. It was an era where if you didn't think for yourself you were seen as a chump. All our guardians and teachers told us was to always 'question authority' and 'ask lots of questions'. This was the correct advice.

And moral too.

See. God gave us a brain. Our minds were endowed with his gift of critical thinking. To not exercise makes you an intellectual sloth and therefore it's a sin.

I spent a lot of hours and money reading up on not just vaccines but the history of vaccines.

I wasn't impressed with what I discovered.

There are a lot of questions that need answering the authorities won't answer them. 

Why?

Maybe because they can't. Or maybe because they know the truth but can't divulge it. I get the feeling there's a stack of evidence piled up in the back offices of the CDC and FDA in a forbidden office. 

But, as the quote notes, there's something deeper in play here. 

Dogma.

For some reason, vaccines have become an untouchable subject. The scientific data has come under scrutiny and it will only mount. 

Here's why. They unethically, foolishly and unwisely inexplicably decided to mandate and coerce this procedure obliterating the doctor-patient relationship and the trust it's predicated upon, medical autonomy and informed consent.

My position was and will always be there is NO ETHICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR MANDATING ANY MEDICAL PRODUCTS OR PROCEDURES INCLUDING VACCINES.

People must remain free to choose and calculate their own risk assessments. They should not lose their jobs, lose mobility rights, be barred from school or participating in sports. 

I am anti-MANDATE because this is the correct ethical and moral stand to take. 

Who in their bloody right mind thought this was a good idea? That it would come with no unintended consequences?

No one likes to be forced into anything against their will. NO ONE. It's human nature 101. Yet, somehow the 'expert' class missed this basic axiom of human nature? What about the politicians who are supposed to protect our INALIENABLE NEGATIVE RIGHTS? Just like that natural law was compromised. 

It was a spectacular blunder with serious catastrophic consequences.

Dogma.

They believed. 

They stupidly staked their reputations into this one product that up until 2021 had never passed animal trials posing too much of a danger to humans. Suddenly, they became 'safe and effective'. Before they came to market, recall, the ghoulish 'Goonfather' of vaccines Peter Hotez testified in a committee about the potential dangers of this new gene therapy (their definition not mine). This was when Trump was in office. Remember when Biden and Harris said they wouldn't take a vaccine from Trump?

See the pattern here? When Trump was in power, be skeptical of the vaccines. He left and bang! Take this jab or no job.

95% effective! Except, at the time, we knew the survival rate was hovering well over 99%. Who had the better odds? Pfizer and Moderna or the human immune system? Did no one find it odd that hospitals were financially compensated to put people on ventilators ($39 000) or label them a COVID death ($13 000)? This didn't raise any questions? No?

Little things like that were red flags that people should have clued in on.

Or take the highly repugnant slogans like we saw in Quebec that said 'Vaccines are liberty.' It could only be spewed by a buffoon.

Dogma.

God is liberty. Our freedoms flow from the authority of God.

Not effing man-made medical products. 

The authorities would have you believe that your God given immune system was inferior to a vaccine.

At best, a vaccine can match the immune system. That's why I always viewed them as a complementary intervention. Not a superior one.

But dogma has it we must believe the opposite.

This is where dogma and scientism collide.

It's ludicrous. Experts barely understand how the immune system works and have even less knowledge about viruses. Personally, I fear bacterial plagues more than viruses. Viruses don't threaten us despite the perception. 

Now vaccine rates are collapsing.

Gee, I wonder fricken why?

And no, it's not because of 'disinformation'.

It's because of the mandates. You know, the ones no officials and academics want to take the blame for pointing fingers at each other? What brave heroes rule over us.

Worse, are regular people making the claim that mandates (and lockdowns) didn't happen. A special place in hell for such cruel ignoramuses. It truly defies....bah.

That recent study of 99 million people is just the beginning. The tip of the proverbial ice berg. That's a massive gargantuan red flag. But dogma dictates, that the 'benefits still outweigh the risks'. We've pulled medicines for far less. FAR less. We're in the tens of millions harmed or killed by this shot. Kind of puts a dent in the highly dubious claim they 'saved millions' and 'prevent hospitalizations', no? 

Yet, they persist in advising people to take it. Why?

WHY?

Meanwhile, in Quebec, the rubes here are celebrating the opening of a Moderna facility. The stock is off 80% from its 2021 highs. Pfizer too. The jury is out on mRNA. 

They bet on the wrong horse.

Moderna is a creature of NIH (Topol's Scripps Research receives NIH funding). NIH and Fauci's NIAID pivoted from infectious diseases to biowarfare after 9/11. It now takes its orders from the U.S. DoD and Pentagon. Together, with BARDA at HSS we get the military-medical-industrial complex. 

McGill is partnered with Moderna. McGill has its own shady historical ties to the CIA with programs like MK-Ultra.

Why should it be any different with the new frontier of mRNA?

The worst part about this disaster is the WHO, international agencies, NGOs, and well-funded groups like Wellcome Trust as well as the Gates-funded GAVI are doubling down on the 'science'. Informed consent and civil rights are viewed as nuisances that need to be circumnavigated. They want to combat 'disinformation' including memes on the Internet.

This is censorship by other means. They want full control. They don't want to be questioned or debated.

Dogma is one thing. But we're talking trillions of dollars on the table here. 

Be wary.

They not only want to dictate the terms of your health but they don't want you having a say in it.

That's as good as taking your soul.

That's why they don't want you to research. It awakens your mind and soul.

Can't have that.

The first step, ignore all fact checkers or people who claim to be 'disinformation' experts. I mean literally, ignore them. They're full of shit and misinformation. Or if you have a twisted sense of humour and want to read them for kicks go ahead. Eyes wide open. I do that from time to time myself. Gotta know what the propagandists are thinking. 

Next, is to massage your mind and critical thinking skills. It's like an atrophied muscle. It needs to be worked on. Once the tension and inflammation are released, you're free of the obstacles that prevented you from exploring different options.

It's the only way to find the truth. 

No one is going to do it for you. They're there to serve their own interests.

Protect yourself and your family.

Then community and country.

God will be with you every step of the way.
