SCHEER IS READY

Canada has failed itself in the last few elections. The NDP self-exploded after the death of Jack Layton, a staunch, common-sense politician who was favoured to take Canada by storm prior to his passing. Jagmeet Singh was not a leader but an opportunist. One thing for sure, dental is in Canada to stay — thank you, Jagmeet, even though your party was destroyed for sleeping with the devil. As for the Conservative Party, Andrew Scheer has done his time in the galley and this time is ready to take the helm.

(Time will tell. Poilievre will likely be back in House of Commons in the next few months and has to keep his party united and ready for the next election – hopefully with many lessons learned from the last one)

FREE SPEECH UNDER THREAT

Canada’s popular podcaster and superb scholar Jordan Peterson has been warning Canadians for months that Mark Carney is a grave threat to free speech in this country. Peterson believes that Carney will resurrect democracy-crushing Bill C-63, the so-called Online Harms Act, which will greatly threaten free speech in Canada. During the election campaign, Carney banned independent media from attending his events: Hence one could conclude that independent news outlets are at risk of being censored or shut down. Additionally, increased funding for the CBC will only serve to promote Liberal propaganda. Both Peterson and America’s renowned academic scholar and historian Victor Davis Hanson have pointed out that Carney is a Marxist who has expressed admiration for Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. Canada beware: Free speech and democracy are at risk.

TIME FOR A REPUBLIC

I strongly support Canada becoming a republic and ending recognition of the governor general, Charles and Camilla, and William and Kate. Forget the King. Forget the monarchy. I’d rather have Donald Trump than Charles. And U.S. liquor should be back on the shelves and the misguided handgun legislation should be repealed.
