Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau joined the CBC for a town hall with undecided voters on Tuesday night. This provided the perfect contrast to show how differently the CBC and host Rosemary Barton treat Trudeau, versus how they treated Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole one night earlier.
Philosopher Edith Stein was once asked by a friend to explain why she converted from Judaism to Catholicism, a question to which she replied, secretum meum mihi—“my secret is mine.” Many other saints and spiritual writers, like St. Augustine and Thomas Merton, have mapped and shared their journeys toward God and conversion gladly, but Stein chose to remain true to her vocation as a philosopher, and explore her faith in that particular way. Out of her own free will, she kept this sacred act and all that was contained within her relationship with God close to her heart.
As I recalled this detail about Stein’s tragic life (she perished in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942), I couldn’t help but think about the human need to share or to conceal the events of life. In many ways, we have become members of a throwaway society in which we no longer value our own privacy and personal thoughts.
Yes, our boy has made an entire career out of not understanding facts and instead chose the path of BS-ing and bullying his way about, all with a dash of bluster for good measure. It’s the only way Joe Biden is capable of operating.

An NDP candidate in a key Toronto riding is under fire after appearing to invent and then spread a conspiracy theory about Israel and COVID-19 vaccines.

As Canadian society continues along a path of an erasure of personal freedoms, a piece of the puzzle becomes worthy of analysis. Could Canadian Liberalism reach a stage where it is equally as oppressive as historical forms of totalitarianism?

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau had hoped to secure a majority in parliament when he called a snap election, but a lacklustre campaign and public anger over a vote during a pandemic are putting his chances of victory at risk.
