Is Canada’s Democracy Doomed?

Why Canadian Democracy is Doomed

  Democracy is doomed globally but that’s an issue for another day. Today I’m only concerned with waking my fellow mere citizens in the Great White North from their slumber. “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help.” Those nine words doom Canadians because whenever government decides to "help us" the loss of individual freedom and prosperity is never far … [Read more...]

Another Liberal Failure and a National Disgrace

If Justin Trudeau is faced with a choice between solving a problem or talking about solving the problem, Justin Trudeau will opt for useless chatter and virtue-signalling every time.

Is Widespread Election Fraud Coming to Canada?

Will the next Canadian federal election be marred by widespread electoral fraud? Some would contend election fraud arrived ages ago, albeit not in any organized fashion. But are those people correct?
