    Consider one of George Washington’s statements:

    Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are ‘indispensable’ supports [Farewell Address, September, 1796].

    In other words, Washington’s principle of government was that it is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible!

    But they are trying to do just that! H. G. Wells, Winston Churchill, Jimmy Carter, Robert Kennedy, Richard Nixon, David Rockefeller, Mikhail Gorbachev, George Bush, George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown – and many others – have all called for a “New World Order (NWO)” or “World Government”.

    The world must forge a new world order or retreat to chaos [Henry Kissinger]

    All this is in line with biblical prophecy as we near the end of the present age. But what sort of world government will it be? Prophecy says that, rather than relying upon ‘God and the Bible’, these rulers will be taking a stand against the Lord and against Jesus Christ (Psalm 2:2).

    There are a number of possible players in the present age who are working toward one world government.  The number one player is probably the U.N. and it's climate change committee, the IPCC.  They are using fear and climate alarmism to bring fear to nations to make them submit to their agenda.  It works well with leaders like Trudeau who seem to be willing to do whatever the U.N. says.

    The UN's IPCC just announced they want the world to put a ban on all fossil fuels.  Guess these Marxist comrades and their supporters (lil Greta) want us to go back to living in caves and mud huts and eliminate all fossil fuel products.  That means no cars, trucks, ships, planes, computers, homes, highways, electric power, industry, buses, etc. etc.

    Did you see Unifor’s latest attack ad?

    In the ad, Unifor makes a number of unsubstantiated claims and attacks Conservative leader Erin O’Toole.  Unifor claims that the CPC leader is planning on “cutting healthcare” and “cutting public service.” Additionally, Unifor stated that O’Toole’s policies were “engineered by big corporations.”

    There is very little evidence to substantiate any of these claims.

    How do we know? Because we fact-checked Unifor’s attack ad. 

    Why didn’t the legacy media do this?

    When it comes to Justin Trudeau’s political opponents, the legacy media will bend over backwards to defend the Liberal leader. 

    They fact-checked former CPC leader Andrew Scheer repeatedly and of course, they did the same to former President Donald Trump as well. 

    So why didn’t they fact-check this Unifor ad that was clearly misleading Canadians about O’Toole?

    This is why independent media is so vital in Canada.

    The reality is you can’t rely on the legacy media to report the truth anymore. Many of these media outlets are dependent on government handouts to exist and many of these so-called journalists are actually represented by Unifor.

    This is why we started an Election Coverage Fund – a budget of $75,000 specifically for coverage of the next federal election.

    With your support, we can reach more Canadians with factual and honest reporting. Will you help us?

    Thank you,

    We see the slant of unions like UNIFOR, opposed to any conservatives and oppose corporations, which is a pretty clear sign of Marxism.

    Did you even read the article?   Nothing in the article says anything about Canada harbouring "communists," you just invented that whole cloth.     Is that a pretty typical strategy of the far right on this forum?

    Yes, of course I read the article.   It doesn't matter if the article specifically says anything about Canada harbouring Communists or not.   The point is there are many people in Canada who are willing dupes of Communist regimes and will travel there and provide financial support to their regime through tourist dollars.  The conclusion I have long known is that there are many Marxist or Communist-minded people in Canada.  I have learned that over the years by observation of people's opinions, and many articles, and government policies, and actions.  The article on Canadians taking vacations in Cuba only proves or reinforces my opinion.

    If you had been paying attention to what is going on in the world and comments from countless people in this forum and many others, you would know there are countless Communist system sympathizers in Canada and the west.  However, I understand there are many people who disagree with me and I respect their right to do that.  Just remember in a Communist country, you do not have the right to disagree with the system and little right to express your views and no human rights.  Think about that the next time you take a vacation to Cuba or China.

  5. Incidentally I also know it as a fact Canada has quite a number of schools in China, teaching the young how to speak English (and French) as well as other subjects.  As long as they are taught  China's basic curriculum, it is allowed. Actually China likes it because they have more people to use as agents for the CCP as time goes on.  I know of a bilingual French Canadian school teacher who actually taught a class of young people in China online from his home in Canada recently.  This is most beneficial to China.  They were very good students but remember, they are still Chinese citizens and loyal to the Chinese Communist system, which is all they know.  Canadian universities also bring over thousands of students from China to give them a university education.  If you want to investigate another aspect of the influence of China in Canada, maybe do a little research on the Confucious Institutes in Canada and Canadian universities.  It would be interesting to know more about that.  Also how many trips Canadian politicians have taken to China in recent decades and how many were paid for by the CCP through organizations.  It is worth noting our Liberal Minister of Defence, Harjit Saajan, attended a Chinese Benevolent Society dinner in Vancouver Chinatown a couple of year ago to celebrate 70 years of rule by the Chinese Communist Party in China.

    We shouldn't be surprised the Liberal government would bring in legislation C10 and C36 to control free speech on social media and the internet.  They seem to have no problem with associating with Communist regimes or Marxist ideology.

    Do you know things you aren't supposed to know? Are you that kind of cool pro investigator?

    Nothing more to tell.  I learned about the dangers of Communist thinking and Satan's devices through years of study of the Bible and other books like the one I just mentioned "Claws of the Panda".  It makes it easier to see through the liberal and left ideologies and dangerous policies.

    We do business with China and Saudi Arabia, but it is the canadian tourists visiting Cuba that are to blame.

    I am so glad I do not think like a fearmonger of communism. Not to mention that facts prove that the more you isolate the population of a country with commerce restrictions, the bigger the support to their dictator is.

    Go on, blame the tourists. We are amazed by your lights.

    That is only one aspect of Canada's failed foreign policy.  It is a symptom of a serious mental sickness in many Canadian's mind when they think they can go on vacations and spend their money in a Communist dictatorship that denies it's people human rights.

  10. Incidentally, yesterday when I did a search and found this article above, a cyber hacker immediately came into my computer, violating my privacy, and started searching through every word on the screen. This leads to the question.  Is Canada already under the influence and intimidation of Communist states and other adversaries through major internet news providers and social media where they can hack into individual's computers to intimidate or spy on them?  Unfortunately, because of the nature of the internet, any hacker can operate from any country in the world and engage in cyber espionage and influence.  I am sure hacking doesn't take a genius.  All they need is the software and given some basic instruction how to do it.

    I heard that we also trade with China.

    Trade is just the tip of the iceberg and gives the impression that all is well between Canada and China.  That leaves a false narrative in many people's mind.  Let's hear no more silly comments such as you heard we trade with China.  Very shallow thinking and adds nothing to knowledge of what is really going on.  Maybe if you believed in the Bible and would be a believer in the Lord, you would see the danger of Communism instead of belittling people who are concerned.

    There is a price to pay for dealing with the CCP.  It is like getting in bed with the Devil, who is a real being.  Trudeau senior and many politicians since then from all parties thought they were being progressive by trying to partner with China and Cuba, and be globalists or multilateralists, instead of standing strong with our allies.  Canada has jumped in with all it's strength to try to be a partner with China in the world.  The price to be paid has already had deep consequences. 

    Read the book:  "Claws of the Panda:  Beijing's Campaign of Influence and Intimidation in Canada" by Jonathan Manthorpe.  Available on Amazon.

    Unless you read the book and other revealing writings, how will you learn about such things?  You will continue to think Canada is acting in a wise and honourable way in world affairs, when in fact our foreign policy has been a total disaster for Canada and the west.  I don't expect you to agree because I doubt you will attempt to find out what is really going on.  You seem to prefer your comfort zone of mocking those who have some knowledge and try to warn others of the danger of Communism.

    I'm trying to figure out the laws if I got married (hypothetically) to a foreign citizen and she does not wish to get vaccinated if she cannot enter Canada making our relationship forbidden, through Canadas laws. As we are both Christian and personally my view is to not cause marks on your body like tatoos, vaccines, etc.

    Vaccines do not constitute a "mark" on the body and are not the same as tatoos.  Vaccination is a medicine or drug given by injection for a medical reason. Vaccination recommended by government to protect yourself and your neighbour would be a Christian's duty as per Romans ch13:1  "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. "  Also consider the Christian is to "love thy neighbour as thyself" by being immunized so as not spread disease or illness to your neighbour.

  13. A CBC article described how Canadian tourists have been helping to fund the Cuban army and leaders.

    How Canadian tourism sustains Cuba's army and one-party state (msn.com)

    I suspect many of these people are embedded within the Liberal and NDP parties and their supporters.

    quote Cuban-Canadian activists say many Canadians are not aware of the extent to which the survival of Cuba's one-party regime depends upon the foreign currency tourists bring into the country, or the lengths the Cuban government will go to keep Canadians coming.  Unquote

    What is equally surprising on the MSN comment section under this article is the number of commenters who support the Cuban regime and oppose America.  Makes one wonder where these commenters came from and where their loyalties lay.

    Harper has been largely silent since leaving office. The other day he did an interview for a vlog. He looks much more comfortable in this interview than back when he was PM. He's much more animated and human in his speech and gestures. He also warns about overspending leading to inflation, and about China's growing totalitarianism. 

    In a rare and uniquely candid interview, former prime minister Stephen Harper warned of a “nihilist” modern left bent on “ripping everything down” and seeking to “end the democratic system.”

    I don't think the woke left knows exactly what it wants, except perfection, but it's very much a believer that the ends justify any means. So I can see it restricting democracy if it felt that was standing in the way of perfect equity. I mean, too many white men being elected? Can't have that! Have to make new laws and rules for who can run! Maybe even mandate that a certain number of MPs be women and people of various shades of colour.

    After witnessing China assume direct control of Hong Kong in 2020, Harper said he now believes there is a risk that Beijing may eventually try to take Taiwan by force. “Ten years ago I would have said the chances of that happening are zero, I no longer think that’s the case,” he said.

    I would agree with him on this. I don't think it's in China's interests to attack Taiwan but I don't think they necessarily care.

    The woke council in Duncan, B.C. just decided to end the job of the town crier because of "historic injustices".  Also recently a landmark cross had been torn down from a hill in the area.

    I think former PM Harper said he doesn't follow politics in Canada much because it is too disturbing.  I can see that.

    "I have flown beyond the limits of Earth and into the heavens. I did not see the face of God." - Yuri G. OftenWrong

     

    The Bible says God is a spirit and is separate from the creation which he created.  Therefore one cannot travel into space and expect to "see God".  This is different from some eastern religions which think God is a part of the creation.  Since God created everything, it makes sense that he is separate from the creation.  There are some in the environmental movement who seem to worship mother earth.   They attribute deity to God's creation, which is incorrect.  Many native religions also attribute deity to various animals, birds or creation.

    Another thing to consider which is crucial to understanding is the complexity of the most basic building block of life, the cell.

    "

    Independent single-celled organisms must conduct all the basic processes of life: it must take in nutrients (energy capture), excrete wastes, detect and respond to its environment, move, breathe, grow, and reproduce. Even a one-celled organism must be organized to perform these essential processes. All cells are organized from the atomic level to all its larger forms. Oxygen and hydrogen atoms combine to make the molecule water (H2O). Molecules bond together to make bigger macromolecules. The carbon atom is often referred to as the backbone of life because it can readily bond with four other elements to form long chains and more complex macromolecules. Four macromolecules—carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids—make up all of the structural and functional units of cells.

    Figure 3.2.13.2.1: The cell is structurally and functionally complex.

    Although we defined the cell as the “most basic” unit of life, it is structurally and functionally complex (Figure 3.2.13.2.1). A cell can be thought of as a mini-organism consisting of tiny organs called organelles. The organelles are structural and functional units constructed from several macromolecules bonded together. A typical animal cell contains the following organelles: the nucleus (which houses the genetic material DNA), mitochondria (which generate energy), ribosomes (which produce protein), the endoplasmic reticulum (which is a packaging and transport facility), and the golgi apparatus (which distributes macromolecules). In addition, animal cells contain little digestive pouches, called lysosomes and peroxisomes, which break down macromolecules and destroy foreign invaders. All of the organelles are anchored in the cell’s cytoplasm via a cytoskeleton. The cell’s organelles are isolated from the surrounding environment by a plasma membrane."

    A cell cannot live, function, or reproduce unless it has all the complex parts that make it functional.  Unfortunately evolutionists just brushed that off as unimportant.  At the time the theory of evolution was developed by Darwin in the 1800s, very little was understood about the complexity of life and the complexity of how the most basic cells functioned.  It is irrational to say certain molecules just came together by accident to form this complex living organism or cell.

    3.2: The Basic Structural and Functional Unit of Life- The Cell - Medicine LibreTexts

    The problem evolutionists and random chance process theorists face is all the correct structures of a cell would have to come together somehow (how is not explained) in one living unit we call a cell.  If one part was not there, it could not function or live.  The parts of a cell are all interconnected and must function perfectly in a complex manner.  The individual parts of a cell are themselves so complex and controlled by the equivalent of an infinitely powerful computer or intelligence.  It is as if intelligence is actually built into the various parts that make up the cell to direct how it is to function. That makes the whole idea of it occurring by chance an impossibility.

    You want proof of God, there it is in microscopic form.

    The theory of life beginning on it's own by what is called "random chance processes" has been shown to be an impossibility.  The reason is the mathematical law of probability makes it impossible for the correct molecules to come together to create the most basic life forms.  One scientist said it would be like someone winning the lottery every week repeatedly for a year.  Even that is probably a vast understatement.  Another example has been given.  Give a monkey a typewriter and let him type randomly.  How long would it take for the monkey to type the complete works of Shakespeare?  That is what you are dealing with. The mathematical law of probability says any odds less than 10 to the 50th power is basically a non-existent probability of happening.  That is one chance in the number 10 followed by 50 zeroes.  Mathematician scientists say that equates to virtually zero chance of happening.  That is what we're dealing with here they say.  Some scientists tried to replicate the forming of life by experiments in test tubes, but this has been abandoned as a failure and useless effort.

    If you consider the complexity of the most basic life forms and the required intelligence built into them, you will begin to grasp some idea of what you are up against.  But how the most basic life form operates is a complex biological subject and if you have some idea of it's complexity you will understand why it could not just come about by random drifting of molecules.  Suffice to say the way the basic life forms operate and reproduce is extremely complex, far more so than the most complex computer systems devised by man.  Therefore, there is no rational support for the theory that life began by random chance processes.  It is virtually an impossibility.

  18. When I made a comment on an elected BC Liberal's Facebook page, that he might not like, a computer bot came onto my computer a little later and started reading every word on the screen by highlighting the word in yellow and then stepping to the next word.  I shut the computer down.  Approximately a day later a photo of himself with a police officer standing next to him appeared on his FB post.  Just coincidence or a form of intimidation/terror.  Elected officials have more power that we think.  That's the kind of democracy we live in now in the information age. 

    MSN also now heavily censors all comments, deleting many and are under the control of the federal government, CRTC.  New legislation, C10 and C36, will mean even far more control of all social media comments.  New powers will be given to the CRTC to do this plus powers to fine people $70,000 plus one year of house arrest.

    The transgender movement has moved with lightning speed amid ferocious hostility towards anyone who stands in its path. It increasingly demands more accommodation, largely at the expense of women, demands men who are 100% physically and biologically male, and have no medical or psychological evidence to the contrary, be considered 100% female. No proof is needed or necessary, and anyone who suggests that such 'women' not be allowed into womens changing rooms, bathrooms, or showers, is merely a hatemonger and bigot who needs to be relentlessly attacked.

    Not all types of trauma can be overcome, despite what life coaches will try to sell us.

    Being raped as a child, the death of one's child, losing a limb.... There are things that we can't wish away. As a society we can't just expect everyone to 'walk it off' lol. Life can really suck.

    I think all types of psychological trauma can be overcome, but it requires help from God.  Never accept the view that it is hopeless.  Of course if one believes it is hopeless and nothing can be done, they will never recover.  It might take a long slow process of recovery but hope and faith in God and his Word can help one.  Trust in God, his written word, and look not to men or some other thing as the answer.  There are many former alcoholics who will tell you they were once in bondage but have been set free.  They realize they are susceptible so they stay away from liquor and certain people and situations because they know it is a lifelong battle to remain free of it.  This principle would apply to many things that enslave people, almost anything you can think of that can be an addiction or stumbling block.  Sometimes, one must get out of the circumstances that contribute to the enslavement as well as take other measures such as seek spiritual help.  That help should be sought from someone who has faith in Christ and a good knowledge of the Bible.  It may require trying more than one person until one feels confident that they have sound support.  We live in troubled times with many different beliefs and errors around.  Even a solid counseling service through the internet might be preferable if nobody qualified can be found locally.  The following healing centre might be something worth investigating.  I have not investigated it but only mention it as a possibility worth looking into.

    Five Things the Scriptures Teach Us about Trauma and Suffering - By Dr. Matthew S. Stanford - Hope and Healing Center and Institute

  23. Some say trauma cannot be overcome or lasts for generations.  This is a hopeless, defeatist attitude.  It does not help the victims.  Trauma can be a spiritual problem or illness that can be overcome with the help of God.  There are even resources right on the internet that go into details about this help and how to obtain it.  The tragic part many of the people who are protesting the treatment of FNs, are fighting against any spiritual help and some are busy blaming all churches, or even vandalizing and burning down churches.  These people are certainly not helping any natives who are caught in the cycle of trauma, drugs, alcohol, domestic abuse, etc. 

    It is as if the Devil is working to drive the people who need help further into trauma and encourage them to continue to be victims instead of seeking help and recovery.  Of course this would be the Devil's objective.  He doesn't want anyone healed.  He wants to keep them in bondage and destruction.  The Devil's message is there is no hope, you are a victim, and you need to blame others for your condition.  Stay away for anything spiritual or Biblical.  The irony is mainline churches were involved in residential schools so this plays into the hands of the Devil who now uses all religion and Biblical truth as the cause rather than the cure for trauma.
