759 – It’s party time in Ontario—the freedom to party and a party to freedom | Paul McKeever | Mike McMullen

Comments Off

May 192022

When it comes to Ontario’s 2022 provincial election now under way, it appears that there are more politicians wanting the freedom to party than there are who want a party to freedom.

Considering the number of political parties now registered in the province of Ontario, it’s alarming to realize that only one is a party to freedom. That party is the Freedom Party of Ontario (FPO) and its leader Paul McKeever (also FPO’s candidate in London North Centre) joins us to describe why this is so.

Along the way, Paul offers a history of Freedom Party and of the Ontario government’s persistent manipulation of the electoral system – and of political parties – since FPO’s founding in 1984.

On the federal front it’s much the same story, where the only party to freedom is the People’s Party of Canada (PPC). Past PPC candidate for London West, Mike McMullen, joins us to describe why he also feels comfortable now running as a provincial 2022 candidate for Freedom Party in his same riding.

Having participated in provincial candidate debates, both Paul and Mike have noticed how any discussion of the government’s pandemic response over the past few years is being entirely avoided by the other parties, and how they’re all desperately pretending it’s politics as usual. Most noticeable is the absence of any Progressive Conservative (PC) candidates at the debates, particularly given that the ruling PC party is the party most responsible for the government’s mishandling of the entire pandemic controversy.

Calling for the government to be held accountable for its incredible violations of individual freedom during the past few years is a key objective of Freedom Party’s 2022 election platform appropriately titled: Truth Rights Justice Freedom.

It’s also why, as the party’s own literature proclaims, Freedom Party is Ontario’s only party that’s “Just Right for Ontario.”

758 – Man of the people | Maxime Bernier

Comments Off

May 122022

“We need an ideological revolution,” recommends our guest Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC).

As a former member of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) who narrowly (and suspiciously) lost a CPC leadership bid, Bernier served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and as chairman of the Committee on National Defense. So when he says that the CPC is “intellectually and morally bankrupt,” his observation is based on direct experience.

“It’s not our war,” says Bernier about the situation in Ukraine. Calling for diplomatic negotiation instead of military escalation, he has found that this view has become an unacceptable discussion point in Canada, where the Trudeau government is forcing Canadian taxpayers to fund the very escalation he fears.

Sadly, reaching Canadians with news about the PPC or its take on the issues has become an uphill struggle. In a country whose fourth estate has been transformed into a taxpayer-funded propaganda machine, the odds of any objective reporting about the PPC or its leader from this media are remote indeed.

Because he has wisely refused to take state-mandated injections, Bernier has been prohibited from travelling freely within his own country. Consequently, Bernier has joined with former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford (one of the original framers of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms) to file a lawsuit against the Trudeau government’s violation of everyone’s constitutional right to travel in Canada.

No one, let alone a leader of a national party, should ever be subject to travel restrictions or injection mandates. In the face of the Left’s contempt for individual freedom, Bernier’s style of “doing politics differently” becomes a necessity. Of course, everyone already knows that being Just Right is about as different from how politics is done today as it gets.

754 – It’s party time for capitalism! | Mark Pellegrino

Comments Off

Apr 142022

Co-founder of the American Capitalist Party, our guest Mark Pellegrino has set the terms from which to expand his April 7 discussion with Just Right co-host Robert Vaughan on video into today’s broadened discussion on the ideas and philosophy that drive many freedom and capitalism advocates: Objectivism.

Across various jurisdictions, the creation of political parties founded on freedom/capitalism suggests an awakening to the fundamentals underlying our political crisis. Most interestingly, many of these parties (including the American Capitalist Party) have cited the ‘Objectivist’ philosophy of Ayn Rand as a guiding light in the establishment of their own party policies.

However as one might expect, even among those inspired by Rand’s philosophy, disagreements and various interpretations of her ideas abound. Happily, these conflicting opinions actually provide a much-needed discussion of the principles and forces that drive our political zeitgeist.

In America as in Canada, there are a growing number of political parties seen to be on the ‘freedom’ side of the political polarity. Among them: various independent and libertarian parties in both countries, Ontario’s Freedom Party, Canada’s People’s Party, and of course, the American Capitalist Party.

“Libertarians reject an objective (universal) morality,” argues Mark, in citing how the American Capitalist Party differs from various libertarian parties.

In the end, which of these parties ever wins an election will depend less on their policies and platforms being Just Right, than on a majority of the voting public believing them to be right enough to support at the polls.

752 – From the love of truth freedom emerges

Comments Off

Mar 312022

Conflicting narratives over Ukraine have revealed some interesting parallels with the debates over Covid and climate change. Apparently, some on the Left are surprised that there is an alignment between those who do not regard Vladimir Putin as the villain in Ukraine, and those who have been labelled ‘anti-vaxxers’ ‘climate-change deniers’ and the ‘extreme right wing.’

But this should not be surprising, although the fake-news media insists that it is. Always unable to counter the rational views of those they label, the Left simply attacks the ‘messengers’ instead of the ‘messages.’ Ironically, even in stooping to that tactic, they are still unable to refute the truths of the messengers.

Of course there’s a flip side of the ‘attack-the-messenger’ coin. Those who are virtue signalling moral disapproval of Putin and want to see a war in Ukraine are also the people who believe there actually is a Covid pandemic, that the experimental injections are ‘vaccines,’ that ‘climate change’ can be affected by banning CO2, and that Joe Biden actually won the last American election. In other words, those on the Left.

These general alignments of views should not be surprising because they are perfectly consistent with the natural polarity of politics: the Left (tyranny) versus the Right (freedom).

The West’s descent into irrationalism and emotionalism has been a long and steady process, concurrent with the rise of the Left and its abandonment of reason. To this mentality, facts don’t matter and truth does not exist. Only tyranny can result under this mindset, and tyranny is the Left’s goal.

The Left’s hatred of freedom is quite understandable since those who wish to control others cannot do so in an environment where the use of force, fraud, and censorship are considered criminal behaviour, and where truth is the standard of justice.

It is the love of truth shared by those on the Right that so threatens the Left. From the love of truth, freedom emerges, and freedom is the only condition that is Just Right.

751 – Always Russian to conclusions

Comments Off

Mar 242022

“Vladimir Putin inherited a ransacked and bewildered country, with a poor and demoralized people. And he started to do what was possible – a slow and gradual restoration. These efforts were not noticed, nor appreciated, immediately. In any case, one is hard pressed to find examples in history when steps by one country to restore its strength were met favourably by other governments.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

As a famous critic of Soviet dictatorship, we wonder if the voice of the late Russian dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn would be among those now silenced in the current anti-Russian censorship frenzy. Given his views on Putin, he was clearly at odds with today’s officially acceptable narrative.

The deep state’s incessant ‘blame-the-Russians-for-everything’ narratives would be comical were it not for the sad fact that so many people take them seriously, being unaware of how much of the blaming is mere projection. Thanks to events in Ukraine, it is now becoming clear that even those who do not blame the Russians for everything are hesitant to ‘pick sides’ in the current conflict – despite much valid evidence on which to make such a judgement.

746 – Word War Spree—fascists versus ‘freedom’

Comments Off

Feb 172022

The entire ‘Covid’ narrative is crumbling and the Truckers’ Freedom Convoy in Ottawa has sped that process exponentially. Every lie, every sinister intentional action to destroy the lives, health and welfare of citizens everywhere, will soon become common knowledge as more and more people waken to their political reality.

This terrifies the likes of Justin Trudeau, whose fascist policies have created the very tyranny against which Canadians are protesting. He has been justifying his fascism based on a Covid narrative whose falsity is becoming more self-evident with each passing day.

Censorship and propaganda have been governments’ primary weapon in an ‘information war’ that has been extraordinarily effective, thanks to the ‘fake-news’ media acting as a government-paid propagandist for the state.

The ‘info war’ has now escalated into an all-out ‘word war’ spree. At the heart of the conflict is the word ‘freedom’ itself, a concept that the Left cannot tolerate or defeat. That’s because the word ‘freedom,’ above all, means freedom from coercion, which happens to be another way of saying freedom from the Left.

Individualism (on the Right) operates on the principles of freedom and consent. Collectivism (on the Left) operates on the principles of control and coercion. Since individualism is moral while collectivism is immoral, it should come as no surprise that the Left is doing everything possible to denigrate the concept of freedom by morally equating it with the Left’s own ideals of coercion and violence.

The Left’s attack on the concept of freedom is mirrored in its similar attack on the concept of the political ‘Right’ – by associating it with fascism (which is explicitly Left) – and by inventing meaningless terms like ‘alt-right,’ or ‘extreme right wing.’

To win the war for freedom it must be understood that there are no ‘degrees’ or variants of freedom. It’s just freedom for the same reason that what’s right is Just Right.
