Nowhere is safe from the tyranny of Pride
There is a tiny rural township in Ontario, Canada, just over the border from the US state of Minnesota, that glories in the name of Emo. Emo has a population of just 1,300, and until fairly recently was known (though not by many) for its picturesque waterfront park, its annual Rainy River Agricultural Fair and its catch-and-release fishing tournament, the Emo Walleye Classic. It looks idyllic, with simple straggles of wooden houses and vivid verdure bordering the enormous Clearwater Lake.
That’s gonna leave a Mark!

World Economic Forum pushes digital ID for global metaverse governance
When it comes to digital ID, there is no public consensus, only collusion. There is no choice; only coercion and contradiction to confuse our cognition toward total control.
Joel Kotkin: Jews are discovering that Canada’s multicultural utopia isn’t safe
In the many summers my family spent in Quebec, at the farm owned by my wife’s uncle Morris and his wife Louise, I could see Canada in its best light. Morris, who grew up in the old Jewish ghetto of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal in Montreal, always expressed gratitude to Canada, a country that birthed his own success and provided security his Polish forebears never enjoyed. “Canada,” he would say, almost tearfully, “is a very good country.”
I’m glad that Kotkin mentions Canada’s ruinous immigration policy.
I suspect it is because he is an American looking in.
Our MSM avoids telling the truth that Canada is being destroyed by multiculturalism and the import of incompatible cultures.
Our elites are responsible for this mess as are all of our mainstream political parties.
Biden Team Considers Blanket Pardons Before Trump’s Promised ‘Retribution’
White House officials believe President-elect Donald J. Trump’s selection of partisan warriors for top law enforcement jobs indicates that he will pursue revenge against his perceived enemies.
President Biden’s staff is debating whether he should issue blanket pardons for a swath of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s perceived enemies to protect them from the “retribution” he has threatened after he takes office, according to people familiar with the discussion.
The idea would be to pre-emptively extend executive clemency to a list of current and former government officials for any possible crimes over a period of years, effectively short-circuiting the next president’s promised campaign of reprisals.

B.C. premier says feds and provinces have right-left strategy to tackle Trump tariff threat
British Columbia Premier David Eby says his fellow premiers and the federal government have hatched a game plan to fight U.S. tariffs, with conservative premiers lobbying Republican counterparts, left-leaning provincial leaders courting the Democrats, and Ottawa focusing on president-elect Donald Trump.
Seriously, can someone explain to me why everyone is so adverse to protecting the US-Canadian border and is focused on combating tariffs?
