The Inescapable Dark End of “Identity Politics”
In recent years Identity Politics have been forcibly inserted into our Media, Education, Legal, and even Governmental systems. This has been done for the same reason it always is, divide and conquer. The only way for us the free citizens of Canada can win this game is not to play. The year I turned 25, […]

David Koch had the exact same agenda as George Soros, Open Borders and all.
In popular mythology George Soros is known as an icon and funder of the extreme Left. He is a massive funder of, and heavily connected to the U.S. Democratic Party.

Left, Right, Left, Right,….The fabricated marching song of our societies

Some of the response objected on the grounds of the Left/Right dichotomy. Here’s the thing about that. In popular mythology George Soros is known as an […]

The lesson the NDP desperately needs to take from the Ontario election.
What we don’t need to do as a Party, or party supporters, is to start attacking Ontario Conservative or Liberal voters as “deplorable’s” “alt-right” “fascist” or any of the rest of the hyperbolic hate fest. The “us and them” dichotomy of virtue signaling, identity politics helped Ford win Queens Park. Wynne’s Liberals approached social issues with the arrogance that has disastrously been in fashion on the left. Anyone who questioned any part of the agenda was labelled as a “fascist” “alt-right” or “something-phobic”. This is not progressive politics and it is not in line with core NDP policies of inclusion and respect for all. Debate and education, not hate and derision. It also did more than any one single factor in electing Doug Ford, we made progressive politics a place of shame and division, fear and recrimination. Tommy Douglas wanted us to persuade the other mice of what was actually in their own interest not belittle, and attack them with operatic rhetoric. One is a winning strategy, one clearly, is not.

Truth and Capitulation; A Canadian Colonizer’s prayer for the next 150 years
“We can, if we have the wisdom, light a fire in this place and time, so bright and clear that it will be seen by all the children of man. Many of whom still huddle in darkness and misery in every corner of the earth. Let our actions be a blazing beacon of hope in a world of Donald Trump and YouTube beheading videos. Let us be the example to our children of what is possible for humanity when people of reason and good will work together in good faith.”
