Escaping Neverland—A Canadian refugee in Ecuador | Mark Vandermaas

“When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…” These immortal words from the Declaration of Independence heralded the birth of a great nation, forged in revolution against despotic rule. Today, however, one man has chosen a quieter path to freedom: relocating from Canada to Ecuador to escape the creeping shadow of political tyranny.

That is precisely what Mark Vandermaas and his wife did after life in Canada had grown unpredictably autocratic. Host, Robert Vaughan, likened his homeland to the Neverland of Peter Pan, where the Lost Boys remained children, perpetually stunted in their growth and maturity, unable to become responsible adults and forever treated like children by a paternalistic, stern, and stifling government.

Confronted by a relentless onslaught of encroachments upon their personal liberties—assaults that permeated the lives of every Canadian—they swiftly packed their belongings and departed for the serene, temperate elevations of that comparatively tranquil nation. They established their new home in the city of Cuenca, nestled high amid the majestic Andes Mountains.

In our discussion, we explore Mark’s activism in Canada, the pivotal decision he and his wife made to emigrate, and the striking contrasts in politics and culture between Canada and Ecuador.

937 – No Canada? —an unconventional view

Comments Off

Nov 052025

In December 2024, a documentary film entitled ‘Canada the Illusion’ was released on multiple on-line platforms with a descriptive: “This film is entirely based on facts and not on opinions.” Produced by Timm Stein in collaboration with Xander La Rue, Doug Force, and The Myth is Canada, the documentary delivers a painfully detailed legal and political history of how the nation known as Canada came into being. And then ceased to be.

Citing the Statute of Westminster (December 11, 1931) as the most important document defining the land mass known as Canada, the documentary concludes that from that point forward, the nation of Canada ceased to exist as a sovereign entity. The provinces, because they owned the land, became sovereign states unto themselves. Consequently, every piece of federal legislation passed after December 11, 1931 is invalid and lacks any authority to enforce it.

As implausible as this sounds (as it also did to the documentary’s producers), there appears to be no way to dispute this conclusion based on Canada’s legal and political history, documented at every step of the way. So how could it be that a nation called ‘Canada’ has carried on as such irrespective of its history and relevant laws? Continue reading »

928 – Shooting blind—at shooter motives

Comments Off

Sep 032025

Given the alarming number of recent mass shootings, have we been shooting blind in our own analysis of these shooters’ motives?

In attempting to zero in on the underlying cause of these once unheard-of events, one is faced with an overwhelming array of symptoms, explanations and suggested solutions.

In addition to the mass shootings at religious functions and institutions themselves, these include: mental health disorders; gender dysphoria; anti-depressant drugs; SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors); guns and weapons; law enforcement; ‘safety’ laws and regulations; sexual dysfunctions; cognitive dysfunctions; atheism; Covid experimental gene therapies; Christianity; private property rights; the right to self defense; government disinformation and misinformation; medical malpractice and disinformation; thought disorders of faulty thinking; castle laws; state protection rackets; anarcho-tyranny; the right to bear arms.

While many of these concerns may seem unrelated, when one steps back for the ‘big picture’ view, what is particularly alarming is how so-called ‘big pharma’ in conjunction with intelligence agencies seem to have played a central role in the tragedies – in particular with regard to the use of drugs classified as SSRIs.

925 – The Majority Rule: The majority is never Right

Comments Off

Aug 132025

Earlier in democracy’s history, its operative principle was not considered to be ‘majority rule,’ but instead, ‘majority government.’ This expressed the idea that only those who had reached the ‘age of majority’ should be eligible to vote and participate in government. It was an age at which a person became a self-responsible adult, capable of exercising informed consent, and otherwise could be held responsible for his/ her actions.

In a free democracy, no one ‘rules’ anyone else. But in a democracy based on ‘majority rule,’ that principle no longer holds true.

The Left views ‘democracy’ as a system of ‘majority rule’ under which the winning group is given the legal authority to rule over other groups and individuals, all justified on the grounds of having achieved some kind of ‘majority.’

The Right views democracy as a system of governance in which no one can ‘vote’ to infringe upon anyone else’s right to Life Liberty and Property. Voting is restricted to matters of governance (justice, military, police, etc.) outside of the private sphere of activity. This would constitute majority government as opposed to majority rule.

Reclaiming Canada’s cultural identity | Russ Cooper

Culture, Governance, Latest, Politics, Society, Video Comments Off

Mar 012025

Justin Trudeau has claimed that “there is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada” and that Canada is the world’s “first post-national state.” This, of course, was wishful thinking on the part of the Liberal Prime Minister, who also claimed that “Canada works better when there are Quebecers running it because we’ve got a sense of the whole country.” This inflated sense of importance and narcissistic attitude contradicts Canada’s long history of Western, primarily British, values of classical liberalism.

Trudeau’s attempt to undermine Canadian culture is seen by some as part of broader efforts by globalists and socialists like him who seek to erode our history and spirit. Some Canadians, repulsed by such efforts, have banded together to reclaim Canada’s proud heritage as a country that respected individual rights and fostered economic prosperity. One such organization is Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms (C3RF), co-founded and presided over by Major Russ Cooper (Ret’d).

Major Cooper joins Robert Vaughan to discuss the perceived decline in Canadian pride since the rise of the Trudeau regime and how we can reclaim the strong sense of culture we once had.

Neoconservatism Part I — Transforming the American cultural matrix

Audio, Foreign Relations, Governance, Latest, Politics, Video Comments Off

Jan 062025

To understand why the United States maintains approximately 800 military bases in about 80 foreign countries and has been involved in numerous armed conflicts globally, it’s essential to examine its foreign policy of neoconservatism.

Professor Salim Mansur of Western University provides us with a master class on neoconservatism, tracing its roots back to the influx of Eastern Europeans into the American cultural matrix during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He examines how many of these newcomers and their descendants came to influence U.S. foreign policy, transforming it from the isolationist and benign approach intended by the Founding Fathers to one that is interventionist and belligerent.

Trump 47 — Restoring the American Constitution

Governance, Latest, Politics, Video Comments Off

Nov 272024

President Donald Trump has made some ambitious promises of reform leading up to his decisive victory on November 5th. Whether or not he is capable of delivering on those promises depends on several factors, including how palatable they may be to the House and Senate, how boldly Trump wields the power he holds as Chief Executive, and the character of those he appoints to his cabinet and inner circle as advisors.

To Make America Great Again, Trump’s greatest ally, however, won’t be in his cabinet or in Congress; it will be the United States Constitution and the principles upon which that great republic was founded.

Here to discuss just how successful Trump’s second term might be is Professor Salim Mansur of Western University in conversation with Just Right Media’s Robert Vaughan.
