Just another normal day of discussions on the candidate for St. John’s Facebook page.
This time it’s about the WSD PowWow where indigenous grads wore a red sash, and all other grads wore a yellow sash. The discussion is about segregation??? lol #mbpoli

[Jon Adaskin @jonadaskin]

The candidate for St. John’s. Need I say more?
*note* the pc MLA in the video makes ZERO mention about immigrants. He’s addressing the safety concerns of the intersection. The candidate for St. John’s is weaponizing this against immigrants. #mbpoli

@cityofwinnipeg Thanks so much for that, appreciated. Any idea why that wasn’t done during construction? It’s all brand new sidewalks there, now being torn up for the work?

[Jon Adaskin @jonadaskin]

@cityofwinnipeg there is sidewalk work being done along Salter near McAdam and surrounding streets? It’s all brand new already, recently done? What is the work being done there now? Thank you!

@sigurdson_chris Ohhhhhh COME ON?????

Interesting.
His statements to the Free Press aren’t consistent with the accusers account? She contacted the manager to quit because of the harassment. The manager showed kindness and empathy, but no defence of Vogiatkis. She wasn’t fired, nor disgruntled. #wpgpoli

Up to 3 candidates in upcoming elections supported by the St. John’s candidate. Birds of a feather, flock together. #mbpoli #wpgpoli

I just learned today that in order to get a doctor fill out the #disability tax credit form, there’s a fee. It’s online, easy, takes no time. My mom has to pay $90.
This seems harmful to charge people to get help with disability? Some can’t afford that? Very disappointed. #DTC

“Mr. Allard, what about your antics? Explain all yours before trying to point out others.”
Yes I agree, please explain the comment in the video! #mbpoli

Ok, so this is weird. St. John’s candidates Facebook page. Reminds me of the old saying “they think they’re the second coming of Christ” #mbpoli

I’ve been watching something creep into Canadian political discourse and it’s starting to feel urgent enough to name.
The conspiracy brain that we used to associate with American right-wing media has crossed the border, and it’s made itself completely at home.
Trudeau was a WEF puppet implementing a globalist agenda. The trucker convoy was being surveilled by a secret government network. The carbon tax was never about the environment, it was about control. Fifteen-minute cities are a UN plot to trap you in your neighbourhood. Bill Gates is poisoning the food supply. And Mark Carney, who has barely been in office five minutes, is apparently already the architect of a decades-long scheme to hand Canadian sovereignty to unelected global elites.
This is the daily content diet of a growing slice of the Canadian right. And it’s not just anonymous accounts. It’s coming from politicians. It’s coming from media figures with large platforms. It’s being repeated at kitchen tables in Alberta and Saskatchewan like it’s common sense.
What makes it particularly frustrating in a Canadian context is that there are real things to be angry about. Housing is genuinely broken. The cost of living has genuinely hammered working people. Western alienation is a real and legitimate political grievance with decades of history behind it. You don’t have to invent a globalist cabal to explain why a lot of Canadians feel like the system isn’t working for them.
But the conspiracy framework doesn’t want real problems. Real problems have complicated causes and require hard tradeoffs and might implicate your own side. A shadowy global elite pulling strings is so much cleaner. So much more satisfying.
The people selling this stuff in Canada aren’t martyrs or truth-tellers. They’re building audiences. They’re raising money. They’re running for office on the back of your outrage. And every time a real policy debate gets swallowed by another theory about Davos or the WHO or 5G towers, the people with actual power over your life get to operate with a little less scrutiny.
Canada deserves a serious right-wing opposition. One that argues about tax policy and resource development and federal overreach with evidence and good faith. What we’re getting instead is an import from the American culture war, poorly translated and applied to a country it barely fits.
We can do better than this. We used to.
