of what use is the Globe and Mail?

The Globe and Mail, says my friend and guide Oban, is for the comfort of Canada’s governing classes. So true.

I picked up a copy this weekend just to enter its reality distortion field. Here is Coyne on the truckers:

“The trivial risks of vaccination were elevated into mortal perils. The minor imposition of vaccine mandates was painted as a nightmarish assault on liberty.

“The well-attested thuggishness of the protesters, meanwhile, was simply denied or whitewashed as “civil disobedience”. The extremist ideology of its leaders , the threats of violence, the dreams of overthrowing the government? They’re not really the leaders. That’s not what they meant.”

The basis for this imperious condescension is the belief that the risks of vaccination were and are not ‘mortal perils’: that injecting revolutionary new messenger RNA vaccines into the body – which have been tested on the population for the first time and which seem to carry significant risks of myocarditis, among others- is a matter of little concern. “The minor imposition of vaccine mandates” is not minor at all; they constitute the compulsory consumption of DNA-altering bio-engineering without serious social and parliamentary discussion. of what we are being subjected to, the risks which were assumed away and the rewards which appear to be nil, or close to it.

The effects of the vaccines were to provide immunity for up to 12 weeks. And then they were to require more ‘jabs’ of more messenger RNA vaccines indefinitely, like flu shots.  Setting up the apparatus of compulsory society-wide ingestion of DNA-altering substances is serious work. It requires the talents of people like Coyne to obscure the issues and assume away the problems.

I turn the page of the Globe to find Beverley McLachlin, former Supreme Court Chief Justice, talking about “the Ugly Side of Freedom” solemnly intoning nonsense:

Freedom without limits slides imperceptibly into freedom to say and do what you want about people who don’t look like you or talk like you. Sadly, the Ottawa truckers’ convoy has revealed this ugly side of freedom.”

Says who? My friend Rebel Yell was in the crowd most days and found Innu, Cree, French, English, Sikh and all walks and regions of Canadian life represented, all being polite and cheerful and greeting each other as fellow Canadians, in one of the most massive  demonstrations of patriotism we have seen in this country.

If you want to understand what is going on in the world today, you are better off listening to Joe Rogan and, in particular, his interview with Maajid Nawaz, available on Spotify.

The dots will be connected eventually, but not by anyone writing for the Globe.

Fascists, fascists everywhere

You recall the de Adder cartoon about the truckers?

Terribly clever wasn’t it? Yeah, right.

I have seen people who ought to know better asserting the truckers were attempting the overthrow of the government of Canada, that they were or were led by “fascists”, and other absurdities. Rebel Yell, the other author on this site, visited Wellington Street most days of the trucker protest. What he found were Canadians having a party: whites, French and English, Dene, Innu, Cree-Ojibway, Sikh, and so on, all being gracious and polite. And having a good time, apologizing if they bumped into one another.

Now we see Putin justifying his invasion of Ukraine on the basis that he is fighting “fascists”. He proposes to “de-Nazify” the Ukraine.

“Russian President Vladimir Putin invoked the Nazis on Thursday when he announced his decision to launch a large-scale military operation in Ukraine.

“The Russian leader said that one of the goals of the offensive was to “denazify” the country, part of a long-running effort by Putin to delegitimize Ukrainian nationalism and sell the incursion to his constituency at home.”

I am not insinuating that the Canadian left and its leftist Liberal establishment are morally equivalent to Putin. Not at all. But what I do say is this: eighty years after actual Nazi and fascist regimes collapsed in rubble, stricken down and crushed, their ideologies vanquished, people still find it convenient to label their opponents “fascists” when they cannot think of anything worse to insult them with.

Is it not time we acknowledged that the two winners of World War 2 were Communists and parliamentary democracies? And that Canadians tired of COVID compulsions were just that: Canadians? And that Ukrainians are seeking to maintain national independence and are willing to fight for it?

Fascism is dead. Statism is dead. White racial supremacism is dead.

Stop fighting ghosts. Fight the present enemy.

Anti-white racism is very much alive – consider Woke, and the legion of black supremacists and race hustlers in their fifteen minutes of money and fame.

Class condescension is thriving. Just read the Globe and Mail any day of the week. Our former Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin is a case in point:

The Ottawa truck convoy has revealed the ugly side of freedom

Of course these people who shout “fascism” look at themselves in the mirror and do not know who they see: minions of Satan. I think they are in for a big surprise when the Last Judgment is rendered.

My sentiments exactly: the catastrophe that is Canada

My consternation about the descent of Canada into politically generated distrust, fascism and chaos are well expressed in the video conversation above. The press is bought. The opposition from the Conservatives is weak and tepid. The NDP is a lapdog of the Liberals. The government is unhinged. It believes – or acts as if it believes – that the Canadian working class is a force needing suppression. I am out of words.

Then, having discussed Canada,  they get on to the real issues driving the whole mess: the World Economic Forum, the capture of the elite by the global warming madness, and the measures that have been taken by the federal government to ruin the oil and gas industries. Note that the attack on the Coastal Gas Pipeline construction site was mentioned only 24 hours after it happened by State News under the caption “alleged attack” on pipeline worksite.

Canada’s GDP per capita has remained at about $45,000 for a decade, while the US figure has gone from about that level to about  $67,000 per capita. Canada is stagnating.

Watch this for confirmation.

A Regime of Thieves and Bandits




[The face of your new regime]


As Canada descends into dictatorship, the rest of the world should watch and take note. The structure of democracy with its laws, charters of rights and freedoms, and judiciaries, looks sound and impressive, but, in many cases, is built on feet of clay.

Edmund Burke remarked centuries ago, in his Reflections on the Revolution in France, when commenting on the actions of the National Assembly,

“…This unforced choice, this fond election of evil, would appear perfectly unaccountable, if we did not consider the composition of the National Assembly: I do not mean its formal constitution, which, as it now stands, is exceptionable enough, but the materials of which, in a great measure, it is composed, which is of ten thousand times greater consequence than all the formalities in the world.”

The “materials” in our Parliament, particularly the ruling “Liberal” Party, consist of a pottage of grasping and ignorant mediocrities, bent only on the preservation of their power at all costs. Now, as our freedoms disintegrate before our eyes, their true nature is displayed for all to see in all its ugliness.

The NDP, the party that once claimed to be the “conscience of Parliament”, and the champion of the working classes of Canada, has now said it will support the Trudeau regime. If there be a time to stand up for whatever principles they claimed to have, it would be now. If not, their reputation will be in tatters, their party an empty shell, their voice a chorus of humbug. Singh, the party’s leader, seems more intent to libel working people as racists and misogynists than to listen to their concerns. What a sorry excuse for a man. That humming sound you may hear is Tommy Douglas, spinning in his grave.

The Conservative Party seems to be awakening after many years in a political coma under the leadership of O’Toole, fortunately ousted recently for his insufferable weakness. Consequently, the party is virtually leaderless in a time crying out for anyone with a backbone.

Maxime Bernier and the People’s Party have been consistent in their support of the Freedom convoy and in opposing the emergency totalitarian measures. Former Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, Brian Peckford, has shown exemplary leadership and fortitude in “Take Back Our Freedoms” and taking the federal government to court.


The actions of the regime in stealing property and freezing bank accounts without any due process are actions worthy of the mafia. “Nice bank account you have; shame if anything happens to it”. Pure thuggery.

And the RCMP, once a police force held in high esteem around the world, has seen its reputation trampled in the snow, along with the woman crushed under the hooves of their horses. That reputation is now lost, never to return.

As for our parliamentary representatives, their weakness in the face of this appalling abuse of power by a deranged gang of bandits posing as a government, will be long remembered.

As for the Canadian media, they have covered themselves in shame. The CBC, the print media, and others, have shown their subservience to the regime. Only Rebel News has held high the flag of honest reporting; the rest are worthless.

Back in 1988, I attended a mass demonstration in Szabadsag Ter in Budapest, Hungary. The police there tried similar tactics. That demonstration heralded the beginning of the end of the communist regime; perhaps these events in Ottawa this weekend herald the end of the beginning of a communist regime in Canada.

Time, and ourselves, will tell.

There must be a reckoning with the tyrant.

The Great Replacement: Stuff I dare not comment upon in Twitter

Stuff so obviously true it must be suppressed. It has been the goal of the Left to replace through immigration the native European or european-origin people who are the source of most – but not all – of the resistance to Wokeness, socialism, and racial replacement. This has been the stated strategy of the Democratic Party for years. If not the goal, the fact that has been celebrated for a long while. Why is it “racist” to notice the obvious the fact of replacement and the fact that it is being celebrated?

<citation>

PARIS — Until a couple of years ago, the “great replacement” — a racist conspiracy theory that white Christian populations are being intentionally replaced by nonwhite immigrants — was so toxic in France that even Marine Le Pen, the longtime leader of the country’s far right, pointedly refused to use it.

But in a presidential race that has widened the boundaries of political acceptability in France, Valérie Pécresse, the candidate of the mainstream center-right party in the coming election, used the phrase over the weekend in a speech punctuated with coded attacks against immigrants and Muslims.

The use of the slogan — in what had been billed as the most important speech so far by Ms. Pécresse, a top rival of President Emmanuel Macron — has fueled intense criticism from both her opponents as well as allies within her party. It also underscored France’s further shift to the right, especially among middle-class voters, and the overwhelming influence of right-wing ideas and candidates in this campaign, political experts said.

The “great replacement,” a conspiracy theory adopted by many white supremacists worldwide, has inspired mass killings in the United States and New Zealand.

“…..“By using the ‘great replacement,’ she gave it legitimacy and put the ideas of the extreme right at the heart of the debate of the presidential race,” said Philippe Corcuff, an expert on the far right who teaches at the Institute of Political Studies in Lyon. “When she talks of ‘French of papers,’ she’s saying that distinctions will be made between French people according to ethnic criteria. Her stigmatization of the Muslim veil is in the same logic of the extreme right.”

Does politics consist of not talking about the largest social transformations in society?

 

Trudeau the Contemptible



From Alexander the Great, Ethelred the Unready, and Ivan the Terrible, we now have Trudeau the Contemptible.

This intellectual zero, bum boy of Klaus Schwab, thrust into power by an unthinking electorate, is now morphing into Kim Jong Justin. Fully backed up by a subservient media, ignorant journalists, and the Communist Broadcasting Corporation (the taxpayer-funded whore house of the Liberal Party), the regime assault on the people of Canada is fully underway.

Here is a man (allegedly) who saw nothing wrong with vandals tearing down monuments to our founders and historical figures and found burning down Christian churches on Indian lands to be “fully understandable.”

The truckers have started a world-wide resistance movement against the arbitrary power of the elites, who hold the majority of us in contempt. The explosion of freedom has seriously rattled the political class, hence their panicked response. The lies of the last two years, the “narrative,” are unfolding before our eyes. When the state propaganda organs, namely, the CBC, start saying that “freedom” is a slogan of the far-right, you know they are desperate.

Not one politician in Parliament (Liberal, Conservative, NDP, BQ) walked down to the truckers on the Hill to actually talk to them. Only Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada, who has always opposed the lockdown insanity, attended. All Trudeau had to offer was lies and insults–he is incapable of rational thought.

With the efforts of the new power-grab regime to steal the monies contributed to the Freedom Convoy, the federal government is now a gang of thieves and bandits. So, all the thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of people who contributed are now terrorists! Such are the actions of the unhinged.

Unwittingly, the government has handed the Freedom Convoy the moral victory. Incapable of rational response, unwilling to talk to ordinary Canadian working people, bloated with hubris, whatever the government now does to the truckers will be the actions of an overbearing bully, bereft of any moral principle.

Our Parliamentary parties have been examined and found wanting. The Liberal Party needs no introduction; it is the seat of presumption and arrogance of the Laurentian elite. The Conservative Party has been flapping around in the shallow waters of political opportunism for many years, searching for a reason to exist. The Bloc is merely interested in the fortunes of Quebec. And the NDP, that likes to think itself the champion of working Canadians, has shown itself to be nothing but a fungal growth on the rotting trunk of a decaying Liberal Party.

This sorry shower of sub-mediocrities poses as a parliament, this conspiracy of thieves as a government. What did we do to deserve this?

I attended the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa over many days, and never in this country have I seen and felt such a union of joy, friendship, and dedication to that which, deep down, all Canadians hold dear–to live free. The wall has been breached. The gaping hole in the credibility of the political class was achieved merely by ordinary folks standing up. For that, we should be always grateful to the truckers of this land.


The truckers came not with weapons, not with revolution, not with clubs or spears, but with truck horns. That will be the new sound of freedom, and if the government wants to confiscate that, the only reply must be: Μολον λαβε!


Whatever the future may bring, to be there was to be with that “happy band of brothers” as when King Henry addressed his troops. Whatever indignities the regime may inflict on the truckers, and us, “…gentlemen abed [in England] shall think themselves accursed they were not here.

The Political Class Trembles


[Picture from Your Roving Reporter with Freedom News]


For those of you old enough, you can remember that fateful day just prior to Christmas 1989, when Communist tyrant Nicolae Ceausescu was making a speech in downtown Bucharest to a crowd when shouting, booing, whistling, and heckling broke out. The old Conducator paused, frazzled, looked around confused, and suddenly, power slipped away like quicksilver, and was gone.

In a few days, the regime, previously one of the most solidly established in the communist world, collapsed like a house cards.


In Canada today, things look amazingly similar. Here, we have a political class, firmly entrenched in power, served by a servile media, worshipped by legions of toadies in “academia”, unused to any threat to its power. The political parties in Parliament are but mere shadows of any political force, merely different facets of the all-suffocating “consensus”—that which ye shall not question.

Hence, the shrieking about “insurrection, “terrorists”—this is the drivel of cowards. Trudeau, the fake PM, continues hiding out in some sewer, unable to face reality. The Ottawa police have been fingered by the regime to start being more aggressively authoritarian. As usual, the opposition parties in Parliament have stepped up to the plate with their usual utter uselessness.
In the meantime, we see the Fake News Media, the Globe & Fail and other simulation newspapers, and the CBC, that taxpayer-funded whore-house for the Liberal Party, collapsing in real time.

The real news is reported by Rebel News, citizen reporters with their cell phones, Go-Pros, and drones, uploading directly to the Internet. This reaches the whole world from America to Russia, from England to Australia—and there is nothing that the political class can do about it. As I write, similar protests against this tyranny, these fraudulent “public health” lies, are becoming a world-wide phenomenon.

I have attended the Ottawa rally over several days and can note for you, dear readers, that almost everything you hear on the Fake News Media in Canada is lies. Internet media like Breitbart News give excellent coverage and, shock and horror, the Daily Mail (UK) tells it like it really is!

There is better reporting in the media in the US, Russia, India and just about anywhere else compared to the obfuscation and piffle in our media.

As this Canadian veteran says: “I didn’t serve to be bullied by a PM who ran away like a chicken!”


That says it all, really.

Hold the Line, folks!

Feminine styles of argument and censorship

Richard Hanania writes about the “gendered nature of wokeness”. A fresh heresy for your delectation this morning, gents.

“To simplify, you have the left, which leans towards the blank slate and opposes gender stereotypes but demands women in public life be treated as too delicate for criticism, and conservatives, who believe in sex differences but say to treat people as individuals. But if men and women are the same, or are only different because of socialization that we should overcome, there’s no good reason to treat them differently. And if they are different and everyone should accept that, then we are justified in having different rules and norms for men and women in practically all areas of life, including political debate. How exactly this should be done is something worth thinking about. Finally, I argue that much of the opposition to wokeness is distorted and ineffective because it avoids the gendered nature of the problem, which also makes fighting it difficult.”

snip

“When public discourse operates according to male rules, women become more likely to select out of it. They focus more on career, children, hobbies, and family. This is why leftists have a point when they say that concepts like objectivity and free speech work to favor male voices. But while these concepts provide a male advantage if applied to areas like journalism and academia, we’re all better off when society cares more about truth and less about the emotional well-being of a small and hysterical minority. In other words, a world that valued truth and objectivity over feelings would have fewer female executives, senators, and journalists, but be better for everyone because it would have more economic and technological growth, while not encouraging women’s worst instincts (more female representation in high status careers does not appear to have done much good for women’s mental health). It might have more war too, but, as mentioned already, society has been pretty good at recognizing the harms that come from the excesses of masculinity. We haven’t even begun to think carefully about equivalent pathologies stemming from traits of the other sex.”

What the right gets right about the trucker revolt

A left-wing writer on the trucker rebellion is fascinating. She looks at the trucker revolt as “right wing”, though I am sure the organizers of the trucker blockade of Ottawa streets have no such conception of themselves, and would reject it if they were called it. It also has a strange flavour of a person who lives in a bubble peering out from it dimly to discern, as Bob Dylan said many years ago, “something happening here an’ you don’t know what it is, do you? Mr. Jones”

Emma Jackson writes:

“Whether we want to admit it or not, there’s a lot that the anti-mandate movement is getting right from an organizing and movement-building perspective.

“For starters, in stark contrast to the Left, the past few days have revealed how much better the Right is at meeting people where they’re at.

“Instead of building an insular movement restricted to people who agree with each other 93 per cent of the time, the Right has successfully tapped into widely held resentment and built a mass on-ramp for people with highly divergent views. It’s why the Freedom Convoy isn’t just being ardently defended by white supremacists on Rebel News, but also by anti-vaccine Green Party supporters in the inboxes of mainstream environmental organizations.”

<snip>

Imagine the power that comes from not insisting that everyone agree on everything before you agree to act together! Who knew?

“In the anti-mandate movement, everyone’s participation is welcome. Of course, this also extends to participants brandishing yellow star pins, thin blue line badges, and flags with swastikas—a level of acceptance that should never be tolerated.

“But the degree to which thousands are willing to come to the defense of the movement the second its racist and antisemitic elements are exposed—insisting that they’re just a “few bad apples”—is telling. It proves their commitment to building and defending the biggest possible “we,” against the smallest possible “them”—in this case, the liberal establishment, mainstream media, and those of us naïve enough to be under the spell of both.

It’s also evidence of their collective disdain for any whiff of social elitism—something that is likely only being exacerbated by the urban left’s impulse to wag our fingers at these “backward, selfish people.”

Translating from the wokish, they are open, and anti-snobbish and to borrow her phrase, committed to the biggest possible “we”.

“In order to actively and constantly be recruiting everyday working people into your base (i.e. build power), you actually have to talk to them and ground your recruitment in the everyday institutions and networks they belong to. It’s obvious that the anti-mandate and anti-vaccine crowd is doing just that by engaging in one-on-one conversations with their neighbors, co-workers, and complete strangers, and listening to their collective grievances.

“But the anti-mandate movement isn’t just recruiting participants one-by-one, they’re also successfully bringing entire institutions into the movement and providing them with opportunities to visibly show their support. They’ve successfully recruited evangelical churches, private trucker associations, and far-right outlets like Rebel News, all of whom are fueling the movement—whether by distributing ham sandwiches at rest stops or amplifying their message to hundreds of thousands of people on YouTube.”

<snip>

They have genuine, broad based support. They build coalitions. Who knew?

Emma Jackson continues;

“Labour’s institutional heft is unparalleled, but those of us belonging to other movement threads—climate justice, anti-racism, Indigenous solidarity— must also reflect on how it is that the far-right is doing a better job of recruiting our own family, friends, and co-workers into their movements, than we are into our own.

“Insularity has prevented the left from reaching the mainstream. We have an opportunity to examine our tendency to build organizations that feel more like exclusive clubs for the “already woke,” than they do welcoming spaces for political education and transformation where people feel deeply valued and needed.”

Emma, Emma, listen to Uncle Dalwhinnie:

  1. There is no such thing as the “far right”. The “right” and “the far right” are left wing mental constructions. Those inside the Marxist thought prison imagine that everyone who opposes them is in their own, equally restrictive, thought-prison.  Not so. The only people inside the thought prison are the political left (in my experience) . Other people are quite free to disagree, argue, and have a beer together.  David Horowitz write about this sudden realization when he left the political Left, which he wrote about it “Radical Son”, which is a must-read for all evolving soon to be former Marxists.
  2. Precisely what makes the political left an exclusionary cult is its false but wholly sincere sense of its moral superiority. If you give up believing in your moral superiority, you realize you are a sinner like the rest of the sinners. Then yu are ready to build broad coalitions politically and even religiously.
  3. Living without moral superiority is really difficult. Millions do it every day. If the political Left tried it, they might find themselves being listened to.
