As any student of George Orwell knows, no authoritarian government can ever gain complete control unless it commandeers people’s thinking through the manipulation of language. Thus, the dystopian powers in “1984” deliberately turned the meaning of words upside-down in a process known as double-think.
The same process is happening today with the words used to discuss racism. In true Orwellian fashion, Ibram X. Kendi (pictured) insists that the only way to fight racism is to embrace racial discrimination in perpetuity. This “anti-racism,” as he calls it, is as likely to stamp out genuine racism as Orwell’s Ministry of Truth was apt to stamp out falsehoods.
It’s easy to get locked into the ‘vote-splitting’ narrative during federal elections.
Most analysts, pundits, and commentators – myself included – find it easy to talk about vote splitting because it’s such a simple narrative when looking at polls.
One party goes up, another party goes down, margins rise, margins fall.
And when parties on a similar side of the spectrum move in the polls, ‘vote-splitting’ is the quickest way to describe the potential impact.
However, when we think more deeply about it, ‘vote-splitting’ is a tired and anti-democratic narrative.
President Joe Biden announced a national vaccine mandate Thursday that will affect approximately 100 million workers. It will require all federal workers and contractors to get vaccinated. It will also necessitate large companies to require their employees either to participate in weekly testing or else be vaccinated.
Or else be fired. What do you think that will do to the economy? Watch for O’Biden’s multi-trillion dollar stimulus package for blue states.
People’s Party of Canada (PPC) leader Maxime Bernier’s message of freedom was endorsed by an Edmonton First Nations chief.
Papaschase First Nation Chief Calvin Bruneau said the PPC’s Indigenous platform is “on the right track,” particularly with Bernier’s commitment to abolish the Indian Act and address the drinking water crisis on reserves.
Election 2021: Liberal Versus Conservative — Or Democracy Versus Dictatorship?
“Fame can be fickle. And Trudeau’s brand is now crashing. It’s just no longer cool to like Justin Trudeau.”
Ford, Tory condemn planned demonstrations outside Canadian hospitals on Monday
Hospitals across the country are preparing for a day of protest on Monday with demonstrations against pandemic protocols expected to hamper access to healthcare facilities including one in downtown Toronto.
The group Canadian Frontline Nurses is planning what it calls a silent protest against mandates in all 10 provinces, targeting five hospitals in Toronto, London, Barrie, Ottawa and Sudbury.
NDP platform calls for $200 billion in new spending on health care, climate change, Indigenous reconciliation
The federal NDP is promising $214 billion in new spending over the next five years, according to a costing breakdown of its platform commitments released Saturday.
Much of that spending would be offset by $166 billion in revenue raised during the same period through a series of new taxes and other measures targeted at wealthy individuals and large, profitable corporations.
Lara Logan drops dynamite Fox News segment on Biden’s sweeping vaccine mandates
On Thursday, “President” Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. broke another of his promises by requiring vaccine mandates on most, but not all, American citizens. The next day, Fox News aired a terrific seven-minute segment by Lara Logan titled “Mandate Nation,” and it’s really worth watching.
Here’s a montage of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Andrew Cuomo saying not so long ago that you shouldn’t trust the feds, the FDA, and the vaccine
Poll: Little Can Be Done to Persuade Unvaccinated Americans to Get the Shot
Change Research conducted the survey August 30 to September 2, days before President Biden’s coronavirus address, where he announced sweeping vaccine mandates and scolded unvaccinated Americans, warning that “patience is running thin.”
Campus Reform reporter Ophelie Jacobson talked with University of Florida students about this video to see how students think 9/11 should be taught in the classroom.
Joe Biden took to his little lectern on Thursday, shaking with righteous anger. As you already know, he wasn’t angry at al-Qaeda/Taliban terrorists who slaughtered thirteen Americans last month. Nor was he angry about the sex trafficking flowing into America through our southern border and on planes loaded with unvetted Afghan “refugees.” Instead, his anger was reserved for those intransigent Americans who refuse to get vaccinated.
If only half of Americans get vaccinated, do you realize how much the Biden family is going to lose in kickbacks from Big Pharma? No wonder he’s mad!
The National Police Federation (NPF) is calling on the next federal government to increase funding for the RCMP after years of flatlining resources.
According to the NPF, which represents 20,000 RCMP officers across Canada, demand for police services has grown 20% since 2017, however, federal government support has failed to meet demands.
It’s not easy to say why the establishment media has constantly misled the American public about the threat of COVID-19, yet they continue to do so. The rabid fear mongering of 2020 has not let up, as many conservatives assumed it would if former President Donald Trump were not re-elected. Whatever their reasons, left-leaning reporters and pundits continue to terrorize America with COVID horror stories that are sometimes entirely fabricated. Rolling Stone recently published a piece of pure fiction about an Oklahoma hospital overrun by victims of Ivermectin poisoning when, in fact, the establishment had not treated a single such case.
Putting aside the fact that racism is inclusive of Islamophobia— and therefore a redundancy– one has to wonder what motivates our prime minister to behave as he does.
Despite his longstanding support for free universal health care regardless of pre-existing conditions, late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel said this week that unvaccinated people should be denied medical care.
As the federal election campaign heads into its last lap, the People’s Party of Canada, led by Maxime Bernier, has been moving up in the polls. According to the latest Nanos numbers, PPC support has more than doubled during the campaign and sits at 5.0 per cent, while Bernier’s support for preferred prime minister is at 5.5 per cent.
