Posting this in English for my American friends. If you come across this horrible video on the internet, please know that it doesn't represent Canadians in general.
We have family and friends on both sides of the border, we share most of our values, we work together every day, and our military have bled for each other across the globe. You are our big brothers, and like brothers naturally we will sometimes argue and annoy each other. But even in the darkest times most of us would never, ever harm any of you, and we know that you feel the same way.
Love you guys.🇺🇸🇨🇦
I eat 1.3 pounds of ribeye, eight eggs, and beef tallow most days. Same meal, same time (2pm). Some variation but not much, strict carnivore.
My ketone levels run between 1.5 and 4 millimolar around the clock. My mood (formerly bipolar swings) was 100% stable through a breakup in December, a cross-country move earlier this year, a job change, and a medication taper, all within a few months.
Before keto, any one of those things would have sent me into a manic episode. All four of them at once would have put me in a hospital.
Ketosis is truly remarkable.
Years ago, I learned of a published case study describing how a ketogenic diet helped @Carobeckwith recover from a 15-year battle with anorexia. Today's newly published research is a direct result of Caroline and her family's valiant journey, and their determination to help others explore the metabolic intervention that put Caroline's anorexia into remission.
At @BaszuckiGroup we've been honored to support @GuidoFrank and his team who designed, launched, recruited for, completed and published this pilot trial of ketogenic therapy in weight-normalized anorexia nervosa.
This paper is the culmination of many years of hard work--including from those who participated in the trial. A second study is already underway.
One family's journey sparked one clinician-scientist to want to learn more. Together, Dr. Frank and the Scolnick family have challenged the field to explore the metabolic roots and treatment possibilities of a disorder in which current treatments fail far too many.
Please share widely. A second nation-wide trial is enrolling now.
Aujourd’hui, quand on vous cache l’explosion des coûts du tramway de Québec en avançant un chiffre de 7,6 milliards de dollars, on vous cache surtout combien vous allez réellement payer pour la plus grande dépense de l’histoire de la ville de Québec, un projet qui se fera sans l'acceptabilité sociale des gens qui vont le payer.
Ce n’est pas au fédéral de décider comment les sommes versées doivent être dépensées. Le Québec doit choisir lui-même dans quelles infrastructures l’argent qui lui revient sera investi.
Ce dont les gens de Québec veulent et ont besoin, c’est d’un 3e lien, un projet que les citoyens de la grande région de Québec réclament depuis plus de 50 ans, et qui permettrait de désengorger les deux ponts et d’assurer le développement économique.
J'en ai discuté ce soir avec Julie Couture:
@JoshuaEnsley I guess it got lost in the general swamp of my beliefs😅 I think it's a consequence of all my reading about other religions. I learn from all kinds of worldviews and I don't know where the journey will take me tomorrow.
How does this apply to Canada?
Canada, like most of the West, has abandoned the common love upon which it was founded and which held it together. We have been told that it is virtuous and reasonable to abandon the Christian, Western foundations of our society. The preface to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms begins, "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law ...". The preamble to the federal Canadian Bill of Rights states that “the Canadian Nation is founded upon principles that acknowledge the supremacy of God, the dignity and worth of the human person and the position of the family in a society of free men and free institutions".
We have been told that these words must be considered to be meaningless if we are to be truly free.
Powerful interests are investing huge amounts of money and human resources into accelerating this process. They're not hiding it, either. Justin Trudeau proudly proclaimed in 2015 that Canada would be the first post-national state.
Post-nationalism is marketed as a celebration of diverse coexistence of many different cultures and value systems. But Augustine would argue that without a singular, binding object of love, it inherently reduces a society to a mere administrative zone held together only by state machinery.
A post-national state is a society which is not held together by a common agreement on the objects of their love. It is simply a collection of citizens totally dependent upon and subjected to the power of the rulers. It is a society of the mangers, and the managed; the governors, and the governed. What holds them together is raw power.
Mass migration is one of the most powerful weapons for the managerial class to consolidate this power. The more Canada is flooded with millions of foreign migrants who do not share the Christian, Western values upon which our country and our civilization was founded, and who are not encouraged or expected to assimilate culturally and adopt these values, the less we are a people. And the more we become simply a large collection of subjugated citizens, with our thoughts, words, and actions totally controlled by the elite, governing class.
And since we are no longer a people, there is nothing to rally around. There is nothing to bind us together so that we can as one rise up and throw off the yoke of our oppressors.
Read the article in the next comment. Does this describe what you're seeing? Does it help you understand the existential crisis in which Canada finds itself?
Canada accepted a flood of migrants from regions that hate Jews, with no real expectation that they culturally assimilate, and now we act surprised that anti-Semitism has roared back to life.
Je me suis longtemps passionné pour la psychologie, et une période m'obsède plus que toutes les autres.
L'après-guerre.
Le moment où des chercheurs se sont posé la question la plus dérangeante du siècle: comment l'Allemagne nazie avait-elle transformé des pères de famille ordinaires en bourreaux de camp?
La réponse, ils ne l'ont pas trouvée chez des monstres. Ils l'ont trouvée chez des hommes parfaitement banals.
Hannah Arendt a appelé ça la banalité du mal. L'historien Christopher Browning, en étudiant le bataillon de réserve 101 (des policiers d'âge mûr, des pères, des commerçants), a montré que ce ne sont pas des fanatiques qui ont fusillé des civils, mais des hommes normaux incapables de désobéir au cadre dominant.
Puis vint Milgram. À Yale, environ deux tiers de gens ordinaires ont infligé ce qu'ils croyaient être des décharges mortelles, simplement parce qu'une autorité en blouse blanche le leur ordonnait. L'expérience de la prison de Stanford a montré la même chose sous un autre angle: donnez à quelqu'un un rôle et un cadre, et il s'y conformera jusqu'à l'inhumain.
La leçon n'est pas allemande. Elle est humaine.
Le mécanisme s'active dès qu'un cadre moral dominant fait craindre la sanction sociale plus que ne compte le témoignage de ses propres yeux. L'individu cesse de voir ce qu'il voit. Il voit ce que le cadre l'autorise à voir.
Maintenant, regardez Southampton.
Henry Nowak, 18 ans, poignardé, allongé au sol, répète aux policiers « j'ai été poignardé », « je ne peux plus respirer ».
Réponse de l'officier: « I don't think you have, mate. »
Pendant ce temps, son meurtrier retourne la situation d'une phrase: il aurait été victime d'une agression raciste. Quatre mots ont suffi pour déplacer le soupçon de l'agresseur vers la victime.
Et l'officier a obéi. Pas à un ordre. À un cadre.
Un cadre qui lui a appris, pendant des années, qu'une plainte pour racisme est l'accusation la plus dangereuse de sa carrière. Plus dangereuse, dans son réflexe conditionné, qu'un corps qui se vide de son sang devant lui.
Exactement le mécanisme de Milgram, de Browning. Un homme normal qui cesse de croire ses propres yeux parce qu'un cadre moral lui a appris ce qu'il devait craindre.
C'est précisément ça qui me terrifie.
Souvenez-vous: le monde entier s'est agenouillé pour quatre mots, « I can't breathe ». Des entreprises, des gouvernements, des stades entiers.
Henry a prononcé les mêmes mots, en train de mourir. Il n'y aura ni genou à terre, ni hashtag, ni minute de silence.
Parce que sa mort ne sert pas le cadre. Elle le contredit.
Et un système qui apprend à une société entière à faire passer l'accusation de racisme avant les faits, avant le corps, avant la vie, n'est pas une posture morale inoffensive.
C'est une machine à fabriquer des hommes qui, face à un enfant en train de mourir, choisissent les menottes.

“Any man who has not some feeling of pride in his ancestry, who does not honour the traditions of the people from which he sprang, cannot be a good Canadian. It is well for the future of this country, and for the future of our people as a whole, that there should be, in the two great races, British and French, that dominate it, a feeling on either side of attachment to language and pride of nation.”
— Sir Robert Borden, Prime Minister of Canada, March 22, 1905
15 hurluberlus avec une banderole “Québec blanc”, tout les médias et politiciens déchirent leurs chemises. Les mêmes qui ne disent rien sur les manif pro-Palestines antisémites violentes depuis 2 ans, et qui font fuir le chirurgien cardiaque en chef de l’hôpital Jewish de MTL…
