OH FFS… How close is too close to the far-right? Why some experts are worried about Canada’s MPs

On June 30, Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre made a choice.

Wearing a crisp blue shirt and a politician’s smile, he walked up to a group of anti-vaccine mandate protesters and led the pack as it walked down Ottawa’s streets.

Beside him marched a man named James Topp, an anti-vaccine figure now set to face a court martial, who had been walking across the country to draw attention to his opposition to vaccine mandates. Topp, however, had recently joined a podcast run by far-right figurehead Jeremy Mackenzie for over an hour, saying that the podcast and others like it “kept (him) hanging on.” Mackenzie said in January that the “Freedom Convoy,” which gathered in Ottawa in February, could “bring down the government.”

The “Experts” are the usual suspects that populate the perpetual anti-conservative media feedback loop. Frankly this expert is concerned that the world is just too awful for them. Medication is likely required.

The Federal Government’s Little Secret: Internet Prices Are Soaring

Unlike the costs of other essential goods such as gas and groceries, Canada’s internet price hikes are not driven by inflation. These rising costs come courtesy of the CRTC and federal government, who have handed pricing power to large telecom companies including Bell and Rogers by refusing to implement lower wholesale rates that smaller firms such as TekSavvy rely on to deliver competitive services to customers.

As a result of the hearing, the overseeing Justice of the Peace ordered that Lich will remain in jail until Friday afternoon while he makes a decision on her bail hearing.

In a prior heated bail hearing that saw Lich released, Karimjee demanded that the overseeing judge stepped down from the trial.

How Banning Alberta Oil Benefits Saudi Arabia, And Possibly Justin Trudeau

As federal Canadian politicians pat themselves on the back regarding climate change leadership, tanker-loads of foreign oil are delivered regularly to Eastern Canadian refineries, including increasing volumes from Saudi Arabia.

As published by the Financial Post, the Saudis have conducted a “not-so-subtle campaign of economic warfare against Canada and others to permanently cripple their respective oil industries.”

“Strangely enough, Canada is helping them do it.”

Canada’s eroding democracy under Trudeau’s watch

Canadian democracy is in decline.

To even suggest that a few short years ago would have been shocking, but the signs of weakening institutions and fraying checks and balances are now unmistakable.

Critics of the “democratic decline” thesis are quick to point out that Canada is not Russia, Yemen, or China. This is obviously true but these critics are also missing a key point – democracy is not an all-or-nothing proposition.

The state of democracy is measured by the relative performance of a political system on a range of variables over time. There is a lot of space between “perfect democracy” and “complete autocracy.”

The Trudeau Liberals Will Never Stop Trying To Take Away Your Freedom

One thing you can say about the Trudeau Liberals is that they’re consistent.

Unfortunately, that consistency is manifest in their relentless assault on our rights and freedoms.

Tamara Lich to remain in jail while awaiting decision on bail

At a day-long hearing Tuesday, Crown prosecutors argued that Lich breached her conditions after being photographed alongside fellow organizer Tom Marazzo at a Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms George Jonas Award ceremony in June.

Lich’s bail conditions prohibit communication with a number of people, including Marazzo, unless in the presence of counsel.

Lich’s lawyers argued that counsel was present at the event.

Under the new rules — which were released Tuesday and go into effect in September — CAF will allow military personnel to, among other things, colour their hair and grow it to any length, and to sport face tattoos.

Majority of Canadians Believe Trudeau Has Fractured Society, Damaged Democracy

In his acceptance speech after winning a third term in office, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sought to downplay the divisions within Canada, saying “that’s not what I see.”

A poll from Maru Public Opinion says he is wrong. A Nanos Research Group poll finds that just 17% of respondents believe Canada should accept more immigrants to our country. Trudeau responded by establishing the highest immigration quotas in history. The Liberal government target stands at 451,000 migrants for 2024.

In the meantime, 77% of survey respondents said Canada feels more fractured than ever. 52% said Canada’s democratic system is broken and “needs a major overhaul.”
