There’s more to all the talk about Canada becoming a 51st state of America than most people suspect; Canada’s demise is self-inflicted, and on its current path, is inevitable.

Whether or not one believes that Canada’s becoming a 51st state of America is a serious proposition, the underlying realities that make it possible to even entertain such a discussion do not bode well for Canada.

The survival of Canada as a nation has long been dubious. Between Canada’s Western provinces and the province of Quebec, separation from the rest of Canada has always been threatened. Why? Because the federal government had in some way interfered with the promised jurisdictional authority of the provinces.

Worse, Canadians themselves have long self-defined as ‘not’ being American, a rather meaningless identity given that citizens of all nations outside the United States are also not American. Canadians in general are ignorant of their country’s history and unaware of the nature of its government. Continue reading »

In a discussion that transcends its provincial boundaries, Freedom Party of Ontario leader Paul McKeever once again joins us to discuss some uncomfortable truths about voters and the democratic process itself.

“It’s a dark time in Ontario,” says Paul, in anticipation of a new round of ’emergency’ declarations following Ontario’s February 27 snap election, both on the provincial and federal levels. But never has there been such a glaringly anti-democratic Ontario election as the current hit-and-run election driven by a Ford: Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario.

In Ontario, the electoral process has become entirely corrupt. Early voting is both permitted and encouraged even before nominations are closed and candidates have been selected. Ford has demonstrated that general elections can be called on a whim, in contravention of the Election Statute Law Amendment Act, 2004. Elections Ontario, which administers Ontario elections and regulates officially-registered political parties, has in the past refused to place a fully-qualified and nominated Freedom Party candidate on the ballot in his riding. Again, rules don’t matter.

Our review of election feedback received by Freedom Party since the dropping of the writ on January 29 demonstrates that most voters, lobby groups, and the media are completely disconnected from any issues relevant to Ontario provincial politics. Even Doug Ford, in threatening to restrict trade and impose tariffs on America, is oblivious to the fact that such actions are not open to him given that they fall exclusively within federal jurisdiction.

899 – An Ignoble Truth—about the Noble Lie

In our second discussion with Salim Mansur relating to the history and ideas behind ‘neoconservatism,’ we find ourselves once again confronted with the Noble Lie: the belief that some people (the ‘elites’) are endowed with a natural right to rule other people (the masses).

In stark contrast to the principles upon which America was founded (and to the expression of these principles in the American Constitution), the various ‘noble lies’ that slowly crept into the American consciousness resulted in what Salim calls the ‘warping’ of America’s culture.

Among the manifestations assumed by the Noble Lie was one called the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a foreign policy initiative calling for America’s ‘Full Spectrum dominance’ to rule the nations and resources of the entire world.

Selling that idea to the American people, in a nation conditioned never to go abroad ‘looking for monsters to slay,’ became a fait accompli with American acceptance of the twin myths of ‘American exceptionalism’ and of a ‘chosen people’. Indeed, the establishment of the state of Israel, largely supported by Christian Zionists in the ‘bible belt’ of America, became another justification for America’s going abroad looking for ‘monsters to slay.’ Continue reading »

With voters in the province of Ontario headed to the polls on February 27, our guest Freedom Party of Ontario leader Paul McKeever explains why Ontario’s snap election -called by Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford – is illegal and unjustifiable.

Upon first hearing rumors of an early election being discussed back in January, Paul published and distributed an open letter to call upon MPPs and others to oppose Doug Ford’s snap election bid. In that letter, he cited the Election Statute Law Amendment Act, 2004, and wrote: “I urge Ontario MPPs once again openly and strenuously to oppose – in the name of preserving the democratic rights of all Ontarians – Doug Ford’s anti-democratic plan to hold a general election before the June 2026 date that already is fixed by law.”

By no means is the abuse of democratic process something unique to Ontario; it reflects the disturbing anti-democratic zeitgeist that has gripped Western nations as never before.

Doug Ford’s justification for calling the early election borders on the psychotic. He does not even have the jurisdiction or authority to carry out any of his tariff and trade restriction threats, and his only provincially mandated course of action is to spend taxpayer money without being held accountable for the irresponsible way in which it is being spent.

897 – Putting Canada first | Maxime Bernier

With a pending Canadian federal election just around the corner, we continue our January 15 preview conversation with PPC leader Maxime Bernier with a deeper focus on some of the specific policies that the PPC will be bringing to the Canadian electorate.

Significantly, Maxime Bernier and the People’s Party of Canada have of late been garnering the attention of the broader international community, which is not only becoming aware that Bernier exists, but that Poilievre may not be Canada’s ideal alternative to the Trudeau regime. Moreover, it is becoming clear that there are many similar patterns of election interference and corruption targeting Maxime’s election campaign that echo the experience of many Western nations.

After all, silencing voices of reason and common sense is a necessary objective of all those who promote Leftist ideologies and policies. That’s why the rules keep changing to keep Maxime Bernier out of the leaders’ debate in the upcoming election.

Small wonder. Just about everything that Bernier and the PPC stand for is the polar opposite of the entrenched Canadian establishment.

896 – “Your fire!” says Trump to the Left

With the inauguration of Donald Trump as America’s 47th president, the stage has been set for the next round of conflict between America’s Left and Right. On the heels of America’s possibly worst administration ever, one might argue that there’s no place to go but up, but this would be shortchanging the Trump agenda.

Simply repairing the damage done by the Left is far from the ultimate objective of Trump’s agenda, which seeks to soar America to new heights – so high in fact, that planning to send American astronauts to the planet Mars is among the goals.

Meanwhile, back on earth, one of Trump’s most significant announcements concerns his intention to reinstate those members of the military who refused to take the Covid vaccines – with full back pay. Not only is this an unprecedented act of justice, it also sends a clear message about where Trump stands on the vaccine issue today – especially considering that he now has Robert F Kennedy Jr on his side as well.

And though not mentioned in his inauguration speech, Trump has already followed through on his previous commitment to pardon the ‘January 6’ political prisoners, as well as to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO). Most significantly, these actions, along with the hundreds of other changes that Trump has enacted through executive orders, are all happening simultaneously. Continue reading »

As America’s Donald Trump again prepares to lead his nation, Justin Trudeau finally prepares to end his disgraceful rule of Canada. Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), asserts that history will judge Justin Trudeau as Canada’s worst Prime Minister ever.

Meanwhile, south of Canada’s border, the state of California has been experiencing a fire that is far less the consequence of nature than the consequence of political ideology. Simultaneously, Donald Trump is about to take the helm of a nation that is also on political fire from coast-to-coast, making the California fires a perfect metaphor for what he’s up against.

On top of Trump’s domestic priority list is the issue of illegal immigration and Canada has come to be seen as a major problem in this regard.

Given Trump’s threats to impose high tariffs on Canada, plus his jokingly suggesting that Canada become the 51st state in the union, Canadian reactions have spanned a spectrum of differing views. Some reject the suggestion outright, while others have expressed a preference for being part of America rather than having to endure Trudeau any longer. Continue reading »
