2020: COVID-19 Lockdown Loneliness Responsible for 1,412 Suicides By MAiD

While governments worldwide focused their attention on 'COVID counts' and lockdowns of healthy people in their non-stop fear porn crusade, one number ought to make everyone sit up and take notice. In Canada, 1,412 people chose to end their lives by medical assistance in dying (MAiD) (18.6% of all MAiD deaths in 2020) because they simply could not face another year of … [Read more...]

Dr. Bonnie Henry: High Priestess of COVID or Just Another Cowardly Bureaucrat?

On Thursday, February 25, 2021, Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC's very own High Priestess of COVID, whined and complained about people protesting her office and expressing their displeasure with her grand but life-destroying pronouncements - aka Public Health Orders. "We have people who have been protesting outside our office and, you know, it affects me but it also affects my family. It … [Read more...]

Pray for Edmonton Pastor James Coates

Pastor James Coates in Solitary Confinement

Today I ask you to pray for Pastor James Coates who, for the 13th day in a row, sits in a solitary confinement cell in the Edmonton Remand Centre - a maximum security prison - while that same facility released over 500 prisoners in the past year due to COVID, including dangerous offender Clint Carifelle. The hypocrisy of releasing violent offenders while imprisoning … [Read more...]

Blackcomb-Whistler Skiers Highlight COVID Enforcement Hypocrisy

Yesterday was the tale of two COVID enforcement actions by BC Premier John Horgan and his High Priestess of COVID, Dr. Bonnie Henry. Blackcomb-Whistler Mountain was flooded with skiers who did not practice social distancing. Blackcomb-Whistler did not receive a fine for violating the High Priestess' social distancing rules.

15 Signs of an Abusive Relationship - Government Edition

How do you know if you’re in an abusive relationship with your government? If your government tells you not to see your friends and family, you’re in an abusive relationship with your government. If your government says you must ask for their permission before leaving the house, you’re in an abusive relationship with your government. If your government tells you what … [Read more...]

Bonnie Henry’s ‘not-a-lockdown’ Christmas Lockdown

Merry Lockdown Christmas!

On December 7, 2020, Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC's High Priestess of COVID, was asked whether she thought British Columbians "will be on board with basically being locked down for Christmas?” “This is not a lockdown, clearly,” Bonnie Henry replied, a smirk on her face. Then she described a key element of a lockdown. “But yes, these are the restrictions that we’ve had in place. … [Read more...]

Undercover RCMP Refused Entry to Fraser Valley Churches

Church of Walmart vs Church of Christ

I never believed I would live long enough to see religious freedom under blatant attack in Canada. I was wrong. On Sunday, December 6th, a pair of undercover RCMP officers attempted to attend worship services at three Lower Mainland churches. Their crime? Holding regular Sunday worship services in defiance of Dr. Bonnie Henry's order banning all worship … [Read more...]

Bonnie Henry's Edicts aren't about health, they're about keeping people compliant

“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It’s not about food.

Bonnie Henry: All Hail the High Priestess of COVID

If COVID is the new god then Bonnie Henry is its High Priestess. On Tuesday, December 8th, the High Priestess of COVID published the latest version of her bastardized commandments.

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...]

You can choose what food you eat… IF the government approves

You are not in control of your own body. In fact you're too stupid to know what food is right for you. Your so-called "healthy choices" are not government-approved; therefore you cannot eat what you want. So says the Ontario Court of Appeal in it's decision in R. v. Schmidt.

Government Health Workers Take Charge of Your Child and Parents have NO say in the matter

  The idea of an appointed government overseer for every person born sounds ludicrous, doesn’t it?  Surely such a bloated bureaucracy exists only in the imagination of Nanny State promoters, right? Who could believe such a plan was hatched in Scotland. Not only was it hatched in Scotland, this Big Brother’s Wet Dream, also known as the Children and Young People … [Read more...]

Only a generation ago young boys toted their .22 rifles to school on their shoulders so they could plink away in the school’s shooting range.  Try that today and SWAT teams would descend like a Biblical plague of locusts.

Our Politically-Correct Hatred of Childhood

Childhood. It's meant to be a relatively carefree and pleasant time of life, where you learn certain values and lessons as you grow into adulthood.  In North America, however, it's become a time to terrorize the most vulnerable of our society. Why? If we don't, they might actually grow up to know right from wrong and common sense from lunacy.  In order to prevent such … [Read more...]
