@GG37374104 Ironic that the same groups who allegedly embrace wholesale immigration & are quick to call racism are the ones who claim that white immigration was the cause of all First Nations woes.
@nspector4 And therein, methinks, is one of the reasons this country is fundamentally fractured. Enforced & entrenched power & favouritism in the east, simmering resentment amongst many in the west. Plus, of course, being ‘settlers’ in their land. What to do?
@Citizen004 Canada is beginning to reap what it’s sown in terms of apologies for alleged white colonialism and soft-hearted and soft-headed quest for appeasement. What an utter mess.
@GG37374104 So true. And evidently many people, especially in the east and the major cities, are quite willing to be played and soothed as Canada sinks into the abyss.
@RedPilledBarbie@Blueblur_23 And imagine growing up in a society in which you have been incessantly told that you (males) are problematic and that the future is female? We have created a perfect recipe for male failure: which I suspect is what some of the more radical feminists sought, sadly.
@Blueblur_23 Male military conscription and the feminists’ silence on seeking female conscription exemplifies their hypocrisy and gives lie to their claim that all they want is equality.

@nspector4 Wasn’t it Rafe Mair who said to never assume that the people at the top knew what the hell they’re doing? Words of wisdom as our world careens from preening egos to opportunistic ids…
🚨The Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal of Justice Mosley’s decision, confirming once again that invoking the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional.
That is a really big deal and the Court of Appeal was unequivocal:
“We have already found that Cabinet, on the evidence that was before it and on a proper interpretation of the Act, did not have reasonable grounds to believe that a threat to national security existed.”
On the evidence, as many of us said from the beginning, the legal threshold was never met. The federal government knew, or ought to have known, that this appeal was bound to fail. Yet it proceeded anyway, consuming years of time and significant public resources, while hoping the public would simply move on.
And it bears repeating: if anything truly went sideways in Ottawa, the primary failures were local. The City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police Service grossly mismanaged the protest from the outset, creating conditions that escalated rather, and in doing so played directly into the federal government’s political narrative.
For years, peaceful protesters were disparaged and slandered, portrayed as dangerous and treasonous. Many were beaten, arrested, and jailed.
And we should also be honest about this: what does this say about those who accepted the government’s narrative without question, who repeated claims that have now been judicially rejected, and who looked the other way while fellow citizens were vilified and punished?
Now the responsibility shifts to us.
This confirms, once again, a profound democratic failure: extraordinary powers deployed unlawfully, Charter rights infringed, and citizens met with force instead of dialogue.
Accountability does not end with this judgment. It begins with it.
If governments can misuse emergency powers, disparage their own citizens instead of engaging with them, and then attempt to run out the clock through prolonged litigation, democratic accountability survives only if the public actively enforces it.
Let’s not fall for this trap again. Let’s stop before fear, propaganda, and politics are weaponized to turn Canadians against their neighbours, friends, and families—while those in power evade scrutiny and consequence.
We deserve better. But we must demand better.
@nspector4 Unfortunate that it took mass murder to prompt the introduction of common sense and civil decency & stop the biased pandering for political gain. Canada should act similarly before it’s too late. But will it, I wonder?
@scoopercooper Unfortunately, the coopted rot at the top and the tendrils stretching from China to Brookfield and beyond suggest that Canada as it had existed is imperiled.
Wake up Canada. A majority by floor crossing in circumstances where PRC is recognized to have favoured Carney will be absolutely unacceptable. Look at the MP that crossed, and his Markham riding. Look what happened to Joseph Tay. This can’t stand. Action is needed.
@Blueblur2023 Driven by women’s groups, members/grads of which now populate the media to grind the grievances & promote agendas. And sadly male-bashing in all media seemingly sells.
@nspector4 I note that the headline indicates that it will apply to young men. Particularly given that Canada’s top soldier is female, in the interests of gender equity surely young women will be similarly scrutinized & conscripted?
@IvisonJ Well, we can certainly discern that you and your personal connection Mark Carney think and hope not! What exactly is Mr. Carney doing that is so wondrous or even pragmatic vis-a-vis Mr. Trump, other than kowtow?
