  1. Politico? Is that just another one of those lefty liberal websites? Those that opposed the convoy have shown that they lack any idea as to what freedom and rights are all about. There were millions of Canadians supporting the truckers protest. We saw that when the truckers were on their way too Ottawa. We saw tens of thousands of Canadians standing on overpasses and on highways and streets and waving as the convoy drove by. Sadly, for those truckers, they were fighting for those opposed to their protest. The stupid fools. I hope that you are wrong about Poilievre. If what you say could happen then that should tell us all and give us that wake up call that politics and politicians are nothing more than a bunch of lying bsatrads. All freedom lovers are asking for is to be able go back to the good old Canada days before covid, that we all once knew, where we could go where we wanted to go, say what we wanted to say, and do what we wanted to do without the government telling us as to how we will live our lives. These past two years have shown us all as to just how evil and satanic our politicians have become. They have destroyed millions of Canadians lives over a so called pandemic which turned out to be a not so serious and dangerous pandemic at all. It was our Canadian politicians and the Canadian media that did that to us all. If we have learned anything at all from all of this covid tyranny madness that went on for two years is that we must never believe or trust our politicians or the media anymore. They are the real enemy of we the peasants. Just my opinion of course. ?

  2. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/11/338canada-canada-conservatives-convoy-protest-00031535 This article summarizes the politics. Basically a majority opposed Convoy in every jurisdiction, but more conservatives supported than opposed. So this is a question of leapfrogging over the issue before the convention and then pivoting away from it afterwards. This is what Poilievre we'll have to do, ie. Make it important now.. and then drop it like a hot potato once he wins the leadership Given that it's such a nothing issue, it makes me sad for political discourse in this country. He really should be talking about how to unify people, the economy, and the environment. Not this little parade

  3. Bottom line: this was a protest against some of the most vile policy in our history. It's unfortunate these so called legal experts are abusing their authority but is to be expected after what we've seen over the past few years. They've essentially purged anyone with integrity and this is the result we get... the authoritarian description is an understatement The sooner Trudeau et al are behind bars the better off we will be

  4. By the time the next Federal election is held, the pandemic may be over and all this will be moot. One can only hope. In the meantime, the electorate in Ontario have the opportunity to express their views in the ultimate tool in democracy, the election. If the people of Ontario where the bulk of the protest occurred, feel the measures were inappropriate, they will change the government. That is democracy. That is freedom. That is real protest. The truckers convoy said they wanted to send a message to the Federal Government. The government heard the message right away. Why didn't the truckers leave after that? Perhaps they had the attitude that it was their way or else. Never mind they represented a very small minority that wanted to impose their views on the overwhelming majority. What about the freedom of the majority?

  6. What a load of nonsense. It was a carnival atmosphere and the businesses that stayed open thrived, until of course the EA martial police turned the place into a ghost town. Felt like Warsaw during a late 80’s crackdown. The injunction had stopped the honking and the blockades had gone before the EA was imposed.

  9. And you will, as soon as the pandemic is over. It could be another few years, if some of the previous pandemics ar anything to go by. Be patient and suck it up. We managed to keep the death toll down to less than 41,000 compared to the million Americans who were killed by it. The purpose of the public health orders is to prevent you from passing it on to others. If the government fails to do all it can to slow the spread of the disease, it is derelict in its duty to protect. They had all party all provincial government and overwhelming public support in their actions. Most of the lockdowns and mandates were implemented by the Provincial governments. That kind of support means the government acted democratically. The declaration of the Emergencies Act had no impact on anyone's charter rights. Some of the people on this forum have no idea what a marxist is. Sad.

  10. Tone deaf. Little parade? Millions of Canadians supported it. 10,000 in a protest day on Parliament Hill. Simultaneous protests in cities across the country. Protests followed in major cities around the world, in Australia, France, Germany…. Why this attempt to downplay its significance? Do you think applying the Emergencies Act was no big deal? It’s this dismissive attitude towards the legitimate concerns about federal mandates and government overreach that explains why the country is in a funk. Trudeau doesn’t understand why there isn’t universal support for government policies and programs that essentially dictate how we should live. It’s totalitarianism with a happy face. The whole creepy power grab must be wheeled back and contained or we won’t have much left to protect. I don’t like our federal government and I’ve never questioned the value of our federation as much as I have this past 6 months. What’s the value of a nation state without strong individual rights and high living standards? We should accept sky high housing and fuel prices why exactly? We should accept carbon taxes that add insult to high inflation why? Climate change? What bullshit. Get these elitist, tyrannical highway robbers out of office.

I like Don Pendleton thrillers as much as the next guy, but you do realize they are works of fiction. The benchmark for what a Real Conservative is Sir John A. MacDonald.

  13. The next election may never happen. I believe that the last election was a fraud and fixed election. Marxist Trudeau was hated by so many people that I spoke too, but yet that buffoon got his PM job back. WTF? There is no honest to goodness political party in Ontario at all. They are all pretty much corrupt. Even Ford who is supposed to be a conservative, continues to act more like a liberal would. Ford has become to woke and too politically correct. Ford takes his orders from the big pharma WEF globalists just like most of our Canadian political dear leaders in the rest of Canada do also. Politics in Ontario will never change until Ontario voters vote in a real and true conservative party. There appears to be none on the arisen so far. The truckers sent a message alright, but comrade Trudeau still did not get that message. The Marxist still has not changed anything that the truckers demanded that he eliminate as far as covid mandates go. Too many are still in place. What the dictator in Ottawa has done is give the truckers his old man's Marxist middle finger salute. Along with the truckers there were millions of Canadians on their side and out there supporting those truckers. We saw them standing on overpasses on highways by the thousands waving them on. Stop acting like a lefty liberal zombie. That dictator has learned nothing from what the truckers protest was all about. As a matter of fact, the dictator is doubling down on his efforts to try and turn Canada into a french controlled socialist third world hell hole. With people like you around and your appearing to try and knock the truckers and Tamara down for their patriotism tells me that for freedom lovers like me and so many others are all in big time trouble in this sad pathetic country that Canada has become. It is a small minority of lefty liberals and socialists that are running this country, and not the majority. If the majority ran this country, covid would never have gotten off the ground here in Canada. It was a small minority of politicians and a small minority of special interest groups of criminals that went along with the big pharma globalist, and the bought off Canadian media that gave us one of the biggest frauds and hoaxes that the world has never seen before. And no doubt you will fall for another covid like lie and hoax once again. Get out the popcorn and lets all just wait and see what the fall will bring. i say get redy for more covid. Just my opinion. Free Tamara now. Works for me. ?

  17. There is evidence (untested in court) that Ms. Lich committed an offence. The Court released her on bail after setting bail conditions. During the bail hearing, she, through her legal counsel, had the opportunity to object to the conditions and have them modified. Once the terms were settled, she chose to accept the terms. How did our "Marxist Leaders" have anything to do with that? It is the Crown Prosecuters who present their case and it is a judge (not the Government or the Crown) who decides. If she makes the choice to breach the conditions she agreed to, then that is on her. Anyone who thinks Ms. Lich is so significant as to warrant the vengence of the government hasn't been paying attention to the multiple crises impacting the country such as a deadly pandemic and a major war that have disrupted the world's economy.

  20. You are just not getting the message here. Those bail conditions that were applied to Tamara by the courts are unfair nor make any sense. What gives the court the right to deny someone the right to their freedom of speech and to continue on with their belief while waiting for their court date? Tamara was only asked to attend a meeting where Tamara was going to be presented with an award. That cannot be seen as breaking any serious bail conditions. I do not believe that even drug dealers or murderers get bail conditions like that. What went on here with Tamara was vengeance by our dear Marxist leaders. They wanted her to be shut down and to try and shut her up for good. A warning to us all. Tamara must be found not guilty and set free. Any gulag time will be an injustice not well deserved. Just my opinion.

  21. Well exactly. The existence of laws and compliance with them isn’t by itself an indication of liberal-democracy. Without human rights that are actually protected by courts, a free press, and a government that’s accountable, you don’t have a real democracy. Canada is in grey territory now. Look at all the “What, me worry?” enablers on here trying to convince everyone else that democracy is live and well in Canada. That effort speaks volumes.

  23. Firstly, no one has to tell you anything, let alone what she is being charged with. if she wants you all to know, she can tell you but, she does not so, blame her. As for evidence, show us what you are talking about. Oh you cannot? Your youtube news sources have not provided that? LOL Secondly, the condition of bail, which she and her lawyer agreed upon are also known to her, if she wants you to know, she can tell you but, she does not so... Thirdly, you do not live in Ottawa, you were not here during that time, you base everything you know on hearsay and youtube so, you are far from knowing actual events. Some of you here are living months in the past with no other life but a long gone event. Some of you keep bringing up decades old and nearly hundred year old events to try and make comparisons. Sad they are stuck. And the longer you dwell, the more absurd you become.

  24. All governments gravitate around their own center. The only division worth worrying about is the one between the governed and their governments. I've been discussing this for decades to little more than the sounds of crickets from partisans of all stripes. Virtually no one but a partisan trusts governments anymore but no one seems to be able to get past their sense that we're all powerless to make them more trustworthy. I remind again we're talking about 338 parliamentarians versus 38 million Canadians. Yup. Powerless to a Tee.

I laugh at how Portland was occupied for months and rail lines were blockaded for weeks by protesters, churches burned down, etc. No mention from Trudeau, but it’s the Emergencies Act for people who don’t like mandated health programs that make compliance a condition of employment, travel, etc. What a bunch of hypocrites!

Application of those laws are in complete compliance with the society they are enacted in. You may not like them but there is no alternatives. You disagree with them but then again, who are you? if you have a better way, do something (within the law) instead of whining on a forum message board. Become a lawyer and change them LOL You are becoming, or have become, old and tired one trick pony with redundant messages. You have no case, you have no justification, you have no precedence.

  29. No need to argue: it's a fact. We see, factually, people in the park, in masks, people driving alone in cars in masks, and it's been going on for weeks already. How much longer, who can tell. Yes, brainwashing is here, alongside an authoritarian governance with no checks or accountability. This is exactly how it worked in well known examples in the history. Someone could be very worried. But who is still here, in the reality?

  31. Step by step... Both the Mayor of Ottawa and the Prime Minister spew the same disinformation, such as the truckers trying to burn down an apartment block, or Russians funding the convoy. Their proof? An unvetted "news" article (not intelligence or anything official). This leads to ridiculous unprecedented invoking of the "Emergencies Act" to clear out an otherwise peaceful protest. The former Liberal Party candidate oversees the case as judge. People like you buy into the disinformation and demand the tax payers fund her room and board in jail for accepting a reward. Of course the REAL motivation is you don't like her political views and think that anyone who disagrees with your political views should be "re-educated" in jail. How's that? Now if you want my view on Pat King, the guy is an idiot. If we had to lock up every idiot out there our jails would be full. Being an idiot is not a crime. How's that?

When others including Elizabeth May blockade a rail line they are released within hours, never spend a day in jail and have politicians show up for photo ops.

The point is that the claim that there is systemic racism in Canada because Black people are overrepresented as they are 7% of the Incarceration rate yet are 4% of the population is not supported when we look at other group. You do not have a base in statistics or general logic to engage in an intelligent debate. A reasonable argument is not set in hypothetical about innocent people incarcerated without any facts to support anything you are suggesting.

  40. It seems the shooter in Buffalo NY is a white male so I doubt he'll get the benefit of low bail thanks to a George Soros funded DA. Crime coverage in the news depends largely on the ethnicity of the perpetrator, not so much with the victims. Is the perpetrator white? Wall to wall coverage. If the perpetrator is black, nothing to see here, just move along. Even BLM doesn't give a rats ass about black on black crime. I think every fair minded person favours equal opportunity and not the equality of outcome nonsense pushed by the left.

  44. Why Won't Canadian Politicians Denounce Anti-White Racism? Anti-Racism is a dog whistle for anti-White racism. Yet Canadian politicians are not denouncing this form of racism. In fact, they embrace it. Where are the Conservatives to stop this liberal, communist attack on democracy? Fact Check There is no systemic racism in Canada. There are race-hustling grafters selling this nonsense for their own personal gain. The media, celebs, politicians, teachers are all on this train of hatred and divisiveness. In Canada, any person receiving differential treatment based on a Code ground can seek redress from the human rights tribunal, free of charge. This applies to service, such as police and education, housing, and employment. Where is the systemic racism? In a system that has built in mechanisms to prevent racism? That does not make sense. Canada in 2021 is the best society that humans have ever created. Free housing and healthcare for all. Ask your anti racism advocate who claim there is white privilege (whte people do not earn their success) instructor to name any country with stronger human rights legislation and freedom. Ask them why 60% of racialized people are doing better than white people. Ask them why on average there is only a 7% difference between whites and third generation non whites? Ask them why more Blacks are going to college than Whites. Ask them why more " other " are going to university than Whites? Ask them to explain why "equity" and not merit should be society's objective? This pursuit of everyone having the same outcome despite skill, intelligence and effort is communism. If the law in Canada prevents discrimination then how is there systemic racism? Name a single case of an unarmed person being killed by Toronto Police since 2012. If they suggest Regis Paquet, she had a knife fight with her brother so her mom called the police, the police arrived and Regis ran outside and jumped off a balcony. Data on Race-Based Earnings: 3rd Generation vs White Workers In comparison, to white workers' income, all racialized people in their third generation or more, are at 0.93 cents to the dollar. This difference of seven cents or 7% is statistically insignificant is NOT indicative of any systemic factors impacting people's ability, based on race, to succeed in employment. On any spectrum, there will be a higher and lower end. White workers are on the lower end of average income. There are many groups who outperform Whites in earnings. This proves that there is no "White privilege" or "systemic racism" in favour of Whites. The following five groups are even with, above, or about equal to White earning power: South Asian (25% of racialized population) are at 0.96 cents Chinese (21%) are at 1.03 Arab (7%) are at 1.00 even Korean (2.5%) are at 1.53 Japanese (1.2%) are at 1.24 Approximately, 60% of non-Whites (third generation or longer) are even or above White earning power. This data is especially telling because these groups actually experienced legitimate systemic racism. Japanese Canadians who are at #2 were subjected to internment in the 1940's. 90% of Japanese Canadians were interned and they now earn more dollar than Whites. How can this be a system of oppression? How are they marginalized in 2021? Chinese Canadians were subjected to the head tax and the exclusion act which are examples of legitimate systemic racism. Now, they earn 1.03 to a White dollar. Arab Canadians are even with the White dollar despite claims of "Islamaphobia". Not all Arabs are Muslim but presumably all Arabs are marginalized due to "islamaphobia" yet they are on par with White earning power. When groups who claim to be oppressed and marginalized are doing better than the group with "privilege" , there is no logic to support this claim. It becomes absurd nonsense. 60% of racialized people do better/same as Whites. There is no systemic racism. Why do politicians continue to claim there is and throw millions at people based on their race? Based on being non-white. No reasonable person can claim "systemic racism" is real when the group alleged to have all the power and structure working to ensure their success is in the middle of the pack statistically and there is no significant difference between the average White and the average non-White. At some point, someone needs to call out the Emperor as wearing no clothes. The farce needs to stop. The data from Table 8 is clear, https://www.policyalternatives.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/National Office/2019/12/Canada's Colour Coded Income Inequality.pdf The above completes disproves any systemic racism or White privilege in employment. Employment Rates There are many racialized groups with a higher employment rate than Whites. This counters the “White privilege” narrative: Black 63.8 to 63% Filipino 71.6 to 63% Latin American 66.3 to 63% Visible Minority 65.4 to 63% Multiple Visible Minority 65.9 to 63% *(similar) South East Asian 62.2 to 63% Source : “Ontario‟s Growing Gap. The Role of Race”-2005 data. https://www.policyalternatives.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/reports/docs/The Role of Race Ontario Growing Gap.pdf Subject: Education The next point race hustlers will make will be that education is a structure designed for the purpose of making Whites succeed. However, like in employment, people succeed based on their effort, skills, intelligence, family support, and individual will. There is no systemic racism in education. This York report found "other" to have the most success and statistical advantages, not Whites. You may hear people claim education is "systemically racist". One might ask if teachers and administrators in Canada are not the biggest advocates for perpetuating the lie of "systemic racism" which makes the suggest that schools are "systemically racist" confusing, at best. However, the data on its own disproves "White privilege" in Canadian schools. The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) report provides evidence of "other" being the most successful in the TDSB. They define "other" as non-White and non-Black. TDSB: 4.1.b Graduation rates: 87% (Other) to 84% (White) Figure 6 shows the outcomes for students at the end of the 5-year period. Within this cohort, 84% of White students had graduated from high school at the end of 5 years, compared to 87% of other racialized students. Other are graduating at a higher rate than White students. This is not evidence of systemic racism rather the contrary. https://edu.yorku.ca/files/2017/04/Towards-Race-Equity-in-Education-April-2017.pdf 4.1.c Post-secondary confirmation (university): 60% to 47% Figure 8 compares the post-secondary plans of Black and White high school students in the same cohort. As the graph shows, almost half (47%) of the White students in this cohort applied to and were accepted by an Ontario university. A larger proportion of other racialized students (60%) in this cohort applied to and were accepted by an Ontario university. Post-secondary confirmation (university): College: A greater proportion of Black students applied to and were accepted by an Ontario college than their White and other racialized counterparts (21% versus 14%). Of note is the high rate at which Black students did not apply to a post-secondary institution. Black students did not apply to attend post-secondary education at almost the same rate as White students went on to university in Ontario (43% versus 47%). https://edu.yorku.ca/files/2017/04/Towards-Race-Equity-in-Education-April-2017.pdf If Other have a higher university entrance rate and Black have a higher college entry rate than Whites, where is the evidence that the "system" is acting in any way as a force to give unfair and preferential treatment to White students? 4.1.e Suspensions: 85% to 82% Suspension rates are an important indicator of school success, as they reflect lost instructional time, which reduces students' opportunities to learn. Further, suspension can undermine the attachment of students to their school, particularly if they feel they have been unfairly treated. Figure 11 shows the cumulative suspensions received by Black, other racialized, and White students during their time in high school. White students, as per York's study, were suspended at a higher rate of 85% compared to 82% of " other " students. White students are also expelled at a higher rate than many groups as well. This is not evidence of preferable treatment. https://doczz.net/doc/7981010/towards-race-equity-in-education---york-university-facult... Schools Teach Equity and Anti-White Racism Despite the lack of statistical advantages for Whites, school systems will target White students and make absurd and offensive claims that they are oppressors. "Talking Race with your Children": TDSB Document The TDSB teaches that White students have unearned privilege and unfair advantages despite the above evidence to the contrary. Their "education" teaches: privilege• Unearned freedoms, rights, benefits, access, and/or opportunities thatprovide unfair advantages for members of the Dominant Group(s) insociety. Because privileges are granted by mere affiliation with theDominant Group(s), some people are not always aware of theprivileges they have. Examples include: cisgender privilege, straightprivilege, male privilege, settler privilege, White privilegePower• access to privileges such as information/knowledge, connections,experience and expertise, resources and decision-making that enhancea person’s chances of getting what they need to live a comfortable,safe, productive and profitable life.

Their objective is to see White students be at the bottom of every measurement. As per their philosophy, in any situation in which white students have a statistical advantage, they claim "systemic racism". As many groups outperform Whites, as long as any group is below whites, they want "equity". Funding goes to areas in which there are less Whites. There is an inverse relationship between funding and white population. This is anti-white racism. Ontario: Differential access to quality education In examining if the educational system in Ontario is inherently biased/racist/discriminatory on a systemic level, the funding requires examination. There is a common myth that Canada funds schools based on neighborhood taxes and that wealthier neighborhoods have an advantage in funding as a result. This is not true in Canada. How funding is structured In Ontario, elementary and secondary school is free and available to all people. The Ministry of Education provides the majority of operating funding to Ontario’s 72 district school boards through the annual GSN, also known as “the funding formula.” The GSN is a collection of grants described in detail in an annual regulation under the Education Act. There are two major components of the GSN: The Foundation Grants cover the basic costs of an educational experience that is common to all students, which is allocated based on student enrolment and the number of schools. The per student allocation is equal across all races. In this grant, all races/colours are equal. The Special Purpose Grants address the unique needs of students, schools and school boards related to location, student and school needs, and a board’s demographic profile. The ministry recognizes that conditions vary widely across Ontario and the funding formula cannot take every situation into account. There is no evidence to support any practise of students receiving more money for being White or for predominantly White schools receiving more money based on race. In fact, there is evidence that the opposite is true and non-Whites are categorized as “marginalized” and receive increased funding. In July of 2020, the provincial government committed to providing $3.5 million to support the Black and Indigenous grad coach programs, which provide wrap-around supports for students who are at risk of not graduating. * ( 4 ) White students are not eligible for this program and there are no programs to support White people exclusively. Teaching All public schools require teachers to be accredited by the Ontario College of Teachers. There are no rules, laws, policies to place “better teachers” in schools based on the race of students anywhere in Ontario. Toronto District School Board (TDSB) The largest school board in Ontario is the TDSB. They prioritize Black and Indigenous students. They have a special anti-Black racism mandate. Ontario: Colleges and Universities In addition to Charter protection and the Ontario Human Rights Code, all colleges and universities in Ontario have inclusion and diversity/anti-racism policies/departments to address allegations of unfair practice/programs/policies. Policing: OHRC Report The race hustler will typically also claim that police are "racist" and there is "systemic racism" in policing yet the data finds that "other" are the least charged by Police. This demonstrates that Police are interested in arresting those who do the crimes, not people based on race. Anyone sincerely interested in examining this claim should look at what demographic is responsible for the most serious crimes: violent crimes, shooting, murders, gun violence. The evidence will again prove that there is nothing systemic about the police investigating the groups disproportionately involved in the most serious offences. The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) released a report that disproves any inherent, structural advantages to people based on their race in Toronto policing. The report looked at set of nine criminal charges. Interestingly, the data was divided into three groups: White, Black and “other racial minority” despite the data actually being prepared by the Toronto Police to reflect six racial groups: White, Black, Asian, Aboriginal, Brown, Unknown. The three group data format showed that for all 9 set of charges, Whites were more represented than “other racial minority”. If the system is designed to favour Whites over non-Whites, this comparison against “other racialized minority” does not support that theory. As per the report, Whites constitute 48% of the population and represent 45.5% of all criminal charges. This would be objectively seen as neutral: neither advantageous nor disadvantageous. The “other racial minority” group represents 42.8% of the population and 22.2% of total charges. This shows that racialized people are significantly less likely than Whites to be charged criminally. Furthermore, the data indicates that the system of Toronto Policing demonstrates zero evidence of systemic racism against “other racialized minorities” and neutral to Whites as opposed to any “privilege”. Summary The next time you hear someone claiming Canada is racist, we have systemic racism, White privilege, ask for the facts. Why would groups outperform Whites and be better treated in schools and by Police if the system is designed for them? Whites would not be behind "Other" if there was a system in place to keep "other" down and Whites above. They will mention George Floyd and other events unrelated to Canada. They will attempt to add slavery to the crimes of Canada yet Canada became a nation in 1867 when slavery had long been abolished. The last point is that any person receiving differential treatment based on a Code ground can seek redress from the human rights tribunal, free of charge. This applies to service, such as police and education, housing, and employment. Where is the systemic racism? In a system that has built in mechanisms to prevent racism? That does not make sense. Canada in 2021 is the best society that humans have ever created. Free housing and healthcare for all. Ask your anti racism instructor to name any country with stronger human rights legislation and freedom. Ask them why 60% of racialized people are doing better than white people. Ask them why more Blacks are going to college than Whites. Ask them why more " other " are going to university than Whites? If the law prevents discrimination then how is there systemic racism? Name a single case of an unarmed person being killed by Toronto Police since 2012. If they suggest Regis Paquet, she had a knife fight with her brother so her mom called the police, the police arrived and Regis ran outside and jumped off a balcony. Canada is the greatest society in the history of humanity. All races are welcome and equal. I hope the politicians will start enforcing this message of Canadian pride. Who cares about color/race? Only anti racists.

  45. I obviously don't have anything to add to your Encyclopedia of Race Relations in Canada, but I'm eagerly awaiting your debate with the frothy-mouthed Liberal sycophants whose only dopamine rush comes from denigrating Canadians in their scramble to be "The Ultimate Social Justice Warrior!"

  46. Canada has the longest wait times for ER visits, doctors appointments access to specialists and specialized treatments in the OECD because of a shortage of doctors which has existed for decades. What are you going to do to bring Canada's current number of 19 doctors per 1000 people up to the level of 30 or 40 which most of our peer countries have?

  47. So...like you, I know this is all a bunch of hooey. But since I'm only pretending to buy it and you actually do... What's your motivation?
