🧵Alot of people are having a good laugh right now at the antics at the convention of Canada's New Democratic Party (the NDP). I particular, this woman, who has chaired the convention. Her name is Adrienne Smith, and while the clips may be funny, there is nothing funny about her agenda or the influence she wields. 1/9
As a middle class Canadian citizen I’m simply shocked that other Canadians can’t see what’s happening here.
How do you not see the adult immigrants working the jobs our youth used to hold?
How do you not look around when out in public and see the massive amounts of foreigners wearing foreign garb and speaking foreign languages?
How do you not see the prices of groceries and realize that your dollar no longer has any purchasing power?
How do you not fuel up and see the cost of fuel increasing due to taxes that if removed would make fuel affordable again?
How do you not see the secondary CPP on your paycheque that generations before us weren’t forced to pay?
How do you not see the excessive control the government is trying to take via the bills they’re currently discussing and passing?
How do you not see the corruption, ethics violations and laws being broken by politicians, their family and friends with ZERO accountability and justice never being handed out?
How do you not see the corrupt justice system who panders to foreigners allowing them to commit crimes on Canadian soil with almost zero punishment to protect their immigration status?
How do you not see a justice system we were promised was blind hand lenient sentences based solely on race?
How do you not see the billions sent to foreign countries, on illegal migrants and people who hate Canada?
How do you not see the increase in homeless people on our streets, the increase in drug addictions and the degradation of society?
How do you not see that our education and healthcare systems have been decimated due to mass immigration?
HOW CAN YOU LIVE HERE AND NOT SEE THE TRUTH ALL AROUND YOU?
Canada lets men in women's prisons
Canada lets men in women's spaces
Canada lets men in women's sports
Canada lets men win women's awards
Canada doesn't give a shit about women
The Shocking Psychology of Liberal Women…🏳️🌈
Novelist and cultural critic Lionel Shriver joins me for a provocative conversation on immigration, national identity, childlessness, and the psychology driving progressive politics.
We discuss demographic change, the moral charge around borders, performative guilt, and why falling birth rates may signal a civilisation losing confidence in itself. Shriver argues that a society unwilling to reproduce its values or its people cannot expect to endure.
A philosophical discussion about identity, family, and whether the West still has the will to survive.

I don't think Canadians understand how destructive this "new world order" with China is to their national sovereignty.
The US reclaiming the Panama Canal was about sealing off that critical passage from China and Russia.
The US removing Maduro from Venezuela was about cutting off China and Russia from vital resources.
The US and Israel support for the citizen uprising in Iran is about cutting off China and Russia from vital resources and sealing off the Suez Canal.
The US "purchase" of Greenland is about sealing off Arctic passages from China and Russia.
The US is preparing for war—not necessarily with Russia, but a cold war with China turning hot.
China is preparing to mobilize against Taiwan and then potentially Japan, The Philippines, etc. If they move to take Taiwan—which they have explicitly stated they plan to do before 2030—that will be the spark that sends the world back into global conflict.
Right now the US is racing to isolate the American continent from this potential threat. Taking Venezuela, shutting down the Islamic regime in Iran and sealing off crucial passageways significantly reduces China's ability to mobilize a war effort.
Canada, in its infinite stupidity, just lit a fire they won't be able to extinguish. Mark Carney and the Liberals are well aware of what the US is doing geopolitically and chose to partner with the enemy.
It doesn't matter what your opinion is on this. Canada shares a 5500 mile border with the United States. The Canadian government has been repeatedly warned by BOTH the Trump and Biden administrations to pull back on it's wildly irresponsible relationship with China. This isn't just a step in the wrong direction, it's a giant running leap into an active volcano.
When the United States turns its attention back to Canada we will pay a mighty price. If I'm being completely honest, I don't think Canada exists as a nation in 3 years. And when the Americans begin their China purge in Canada, remember this moment. It won't be the orange man who's to blame. It's the Wall Street banker who set you up for the fall.
This is the greatest display of mass courage we have ever seen. The regime has cut the internet; more protesters are being killed; yet still they are pouring onto the streets. A revolution is under way that could break the infernal axis of Iran, Russia and China and reshape the world.
I just did a scan of major media sites, and there is almost zero coverage of the astonishing popular uprising in Iran.
CBC, Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, CTV, Global, BBC, CNN, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, etc..
On all of those sites, only two bottom-of-the-page mentions of the Iranian protests, both of them focussed on Trump's comments, and not the protests themselves.
If it weren't for social media, I wouldn't even know the protests were happening.
Compare this to the wall to wall coverage re: Gaza over the past two years.
But the potential fall of the Iranian regime would be infinitely more consequential to global peace and security than the Israel-Hamas conflict. In fact, that conflict traces itself back to the Iranian regime's support for Hamas.
Message to legacy media: this reflects why you've been losing your market. Do better.
For media who say they can't deploy journalists to Iran, that didn't stop you from reporting daily about Gaza. You're not willing to trust reports, including videos, from opponents of the Iranian regime? That didn't stop you from repeating casualty and other figures released by Hamas.
“Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”
Homer, The Iliad
'He has a point, but he's too blunt.'
From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture with devastating consequences to freedom of speech and belief. Huge swathes of liberal media, the arts, academia and publishing have thrown themselves with gusto into the defence of a quasi-religious belief causing provable real world harm, and in their arrogance they've been outraged when people they assumed were part of their In Group have refused to march meekly along in lock step.
Time and again, I've seen and heard well-educated people who consider themselves critical thinkers and bold truth-tellers squirm when put on the spot. 'Well, yes, maybe there's something in what you're saying, but it's hateful/provocative/rude not to use the approved language/pretend people can literally change sex/keep drawing attention to medical malpractice or opportunistic sexual predators. Why can't you be nice? Why won't you pretend? We thought you were one of us! Don't you realise we have sophisticated new words and phrases these days that obviate the necessity of thinking any of this through?'
As the vibe shifts, and a lot of people in the elite professions start trying to reposition themselves, the obvious place to start is, 'it's not that I couldn't see your point, but did you have to say it that way?' We dissenters were supposed to find a way of questioning the chemical castration of children while calling it 'gender affirming care.' We were meant to defend the rights of vulnerable women while also using female pronouns for male rapists. We should have found a way to discuss fairness for women and girls in sport, while pretending that the ineradicable physical advantage men have over women doesn't exist.
Either a man can be a woman, or he can't. Either women deserve rights, or they don't. Either there's a provable medical benefit to transitioning children, or there isn't. Either you're on the side of a totalitarian ideology that seeks to impose falsehoods on society through the threat of ostracisation, shaming and violence, or you're not. The alternative to being 'blunt' - using accurate, factual language to describe what was going on - was to surrender freedom of speech and espouse ideological jargon that obfuscated the issues and the harms caused. We've always needed blunt people, but we need them most of all when being asked to bow down to a naked emperor.
@StuntmanStu@barrhaven_ford They don’t call you Stuntman Stu for nothing then! 👍🏻👍🏻 This is a brilliant stunt and if real then I’ll put my wish in for a Ford Bronco Big Bend please😊🙏
