On Sunday, the Senate released the final text of the so-called bipartisan (but really liberal) infrastructure bill — all 2,702 pages. According to Breitbart, the huge bill was written in secret for months outside the normal legislative process. Buried in the measure is a pilot program for a national motor vehicle per-mile user fee (MBUF) which is basically a long-term plan to make it too expensive to drive a car.
Justin Trudeau, the Liberal Party, and the Canadian media have, by their deafening silence and intimations, given the all-clear on anti-Catholic bigotry and terrorism.
In this telling, the history of the past 30 or so years in America goes something like this: Once upon a time, back in the halcyon days of the 1990s, America was great, because Americans all observed a shared creed called liberalism. This relaxed civil religion nurtured our individual liberties and kept us honest, hardworking, and good. It gave us civil rights and gay marriage, Tom Hanks and Sesame Street, bipartisanship and Teach for America. And it would have bloomed eternal if the barbarians hadn’t shown up one day to sack our glittering Rome.
During a recent endocrinology course at a top medical school in the University of California system, a professor stopped mid-lecture to apologize for something he’d said at the beginning of class.
“I don’t want you to think that I am in any way trying to imply anything, and if you can summon some generosity to forgive me, I would really appreciate it,” the physician says in a recording provided by a student in the class (whom I’ll call Lauren). “Again, I’m very sorry for that. It was certainly not my intention to offend anyone. The worst thing that I can do as a human being is be offensive.”
His offense: using the term “pregnant women.”
Big Tech’s censorship partnership with the left establishment is expanding in ominous directions. The Silicon Valley giants have now partnered with the hyper-partisan Anti-Defamation League to help them decide what content Americans get to read online — and even which Americans get to transfer money digitally.
This year brought news of an effort by Google in association with the ADL and a British firm called Moonshot CVE to “redirect” users away from sites that promote what they considered to be “violent extremism.” Pop-up ads would send readers to other content providers, who would supposedly expose and debunk the haters.
“What’s coming has been absolutely clear for quite some time. And it’s coming fast now. If they can do it to me, they can do it to you. And they will.”
Many things have changed in pandemic times. One that has not is North America’s love affair with the pickup truck. Even in the midst of economic uncertainty, consumers lined up to buy these hulking, belching kings of the road. Once the vehicle of the cowboy, the contractor and the good old boy, pickups have become the continent’s mainstream ride. Even city parking lots are simply full of them. In Canada, Ford’s F-150 has been the best-selling auto for years.
As the values of race become the only legitimate symbols of the nation, it would seem that a definitive and irreversible transfer or mutation of national identity is beginning to take place.

The liberal elite’s failure to stand with JK Rowling is disgraceful.
Imagine if Philip Roth, when he was alive, had been subjected to anti-Semitic abuse every single day. Imagine if hateful mobs had bombarded him with slurs and threats. Imagine if he couldn’t so much as switch on his computer without being called scum, a cunt, a shit, with some people going so far as to send him extreme pornographic images and threats of violence. You imagine there would have been some pushback, right?
The move to rename Toronto’s Dundas St. is a fool’s mission.
It’s as if the city doesn’t have more pressing problems that it has $6 million to blow on changing a street name because of some jacked-up transgressions made by a man in the 18th century.
As the trend of removing symbols of Canada’s past and renaming buildings and streets grows, historians warn of the consequences of attempts to misrepresent or erase the country’s history.
“If you control the past, you control the present and the future,” Gerry Bowler, a historian and former professor of history at the University of Manitoba told The Epoch Times.
It’s not a conspiracy when the right people celebrate the disenfranchisement of White America. It’s just a fact worthy of shouting from the highest hill.
Despite the federal Liberals not actually getting Bill C-10 and C-36 passed through the House of Commons and Senate this past parliamentary session, the message is clear to Big Tech platforms; start throttling alternative media or face increasingly heavy regulations.
The St. George Coptic Orthodox church was engulfed in flames on Monday morning. Firefighters in Surrey, BC arrived at the scene at around 3:30am and were able to stop the spread of the fire to other buildings. However, the church could not be saved.
