This is a channel I quite enjoy and he did a video on the problems with white liberalism which I thought was very apt.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve become less patient with those who talk about decorum or the need to protest “properly” and the creator here is right, Western liberalism allows all the worst things to happen, just with a smile or a rainbow.
Is this bizzarro world, what the hell is Trudeau talking about?!?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government wants to rein in the number of temporary immigrants coming to the country, saying the situation needs to be brought “under control.”
“Whether it’s temporary foreign workers or whether it’s international students in particular, that have grown at a rate far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb,” Trudeau said at a housing announcement in Dartmouth, N.S.
“To give an example, in 2017, two per cent of Canada’s population was made up of temporary immigrants. Now we’re at 7.5 per cent of our population comprised of temporary immigrants. That’s something we need to get back under control.”

It’s his government’s god damn policies that have lead to an explosion of foreign students & TFWs! Why are things only ever a problem after Canadians highlight their concerns and it affects the Liberals in the polls? They should get no credit in their realization that their policies have made the country worse, god the next election can’t come soon enough.
Toronto police’s advice to car owners is to leave your keys at the front door so that thieves who kick in your door to steal your car, they’ll take what they want and leave. As you can imagine that’s caused quite an uproar and this author sums things up pretty well I thought.
The message from the Toronto Police Service couldn’t be clearer: we surrender, and you, the peace-loving, law-abiding citizens, should surrender, too.
For your own safety.
Regular Line readers will know — hell, anyone who pays any attention at all to the news will know — that auto thefts have been surging in this country, relative to recent years (yes, yes, I know — they haven’t yet gone past historic levels). It’s particularly bad right now in my hometown. The issue has finally percolated up into the public consciousness enough that it’s become a political issue. We’re getting new task forces and all that jazz — the kinds of things politicians announce when they realize, always belatedly, that they have to announce something. But while those announcements are made and repeated and recycled, thus giving the politicians their coveted ass-covering material, the thefts are continuing.
And the Toronto Police have reflected on the problem. They’ve mulled it over. Thought long and hard. And they’re advising people just give up. To stay safe.

One of my pet peeves is when politicians or authorities tell me what to do to stay “safe” and the author makes a good point about what we are experiencing now is not the norm but rather the exception. War, violence, stealing, murder and death is the norm something our society was able to shift away from but if the law and justice does not maintain the faith with the people, it’s very easy for society to break down. As the author says too, heaven forbid someone protect themself or their property then the cops will definitely arrest the victim and charge them with whatever they can.
What’s the point of having a police force and justice system if they won’t do their jobs and why are the rights of criminals greater than the rights of their victims?
As I’ve gotten older, I pretty much lost faith that we as a society will actually tackle the problem of climate change as we have complete corporate capture of our governments and there’s absolutely nothing that you or I as individuals can do anything about anything. CNN published this story over the weekend and it made me sad for future generations. 🙁
Are you frightened by climate change? Do you worry about what sort of world we are bequeathing to our children and grandchildren? In the words of science writer and author of “The Uninhabitable Earth” David Wallace-Wells, “No matter how well informed you are, you are surely not alarmed enough.”
I would put it even more strongly.
If the fracturing of our once stable climate doesn’t terrify you, then you don’t fully understand it. The reality is that, as far as we know, and in the natural course of events, our world has never — in its entire history — heated up as rapidly as it is doing now. Nor have greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere ever seen such a precipitous hike.

Our incompetent leaders virtue signal by banning plastic straws while the rich and corporations have virtually no limits to what they can do, heaven forbid they be inconvenienced…
Aliens don’t visit us because they see that we fight over the stupidest things… In the latest episode of those stupid humans according to US intelligence (and I hate to quote them) Russia is developing nuclear space weapons to destroy satellites.
The weapon is still under development and is not yet in orbit, Biden administration officials have emphasized publicly. But if used, officials say, it would cross a dangerous rubicon in the history of nuclear weapons and could cause extreme disruptions to everyday life in ways that are difficult to predict.
This kind of new weapon — known generally by military space experts as a nuclear EMP — would create a pulse of electromagnetic energy and a flood of highly charged particles that would tear through space to disrupt other satellites winging around Earth.

EMPs are not new, we’ve known about them since the 60s and what this story is conveniently ignoring is that if an EMP is detonated in space yes it’ll cause problems for satellites but the blast portion that hits the planet could destroy the electrical grid on the ground too. Funny enough a lot of satellites are relatively hardened against EM radiation, since they’re in space and have to deal with the sun and cosmic rays but if an EMP’s energy hits the ground, we’re pretty much screwed.
And it being in space means we’d have like no warning too, at least with a missile the militaries can track its movements (though whether the government would inform the people, I highly doubt) but with space based weapons maybe a mere few minutes. This is a first strike capability and if something like this gets into orbit, you can bet the militarization of space will happen.
Police departments should not have this type of sting power and everyone should be outraged.
Homicide officers said the DNA was obtained at a 2018 Kurdish New Year celebration in Burnaby, B.C., where police handed out free tea samples in numbered cups that were later swabbed, in a sting that identified a brother of the suspect.

Yes the crime was horrible however the authorities should not be able to get random people’s DNA to test against. Civil liberties must be held to the highest standard and if it starts to erode, we quickly slide into police state for the sake of the “greater good”.
I’m not typically a doom and gloom guy on my blog but I have to say I have a pretty bad feeling about 2024. There are so many conflicts & potential conflicts that could flare up around the world, I get why aliens don’t visit us. Our political leaders act like children on the world stage and it’s maddening that they wall want war.
Sigh, I weep when I think of all the lives lost needlessly so far and those that may lose their lives in the stupid fights that may pop up. Also do not buy the narrative that one side is the bad guy and “our side” is good, it’s much more complicated than that and what’s occurring didn’t happen in a vacuum.
With that said as an individual in Canada, I have absolutely no ability to sway things so I’m just going to do my best to try and make sure my family is as insulated from any shocks that may come. I hope I’m wrong and that this year turns out to be peaceful so we’ll see what’s in store.
Wishing you the very best for 2024!
This was a heart breaking video shot & narrated by some AP journalists about the opening days of the Ukraine/Russian conflict in Mariupol.
Be warned, there are lots of graphic images & videos of dead people (kids, families, etc) and the only thing I could think was that our political leaders on the world stage all act like god damn school children arguing & fighting in the yard. What will all this death and destruction achieve, was it really worth it for Russia to gain a bit more territory or for the Ukraine’s “allies” to feed Ukrainians into the meatgrinder? Another thought I had while watching was that I hate how media & games glorify war, it’s not fun it’s terrifying and horrible. I’m guilty of enjoying violent videogames, I enjoy shooting guns and hell I played airsoft but I never deluded myself to think I’d be actually good in a real war; I’m certain it’ll be a nightmare.
We should throw out any politician that talks up war or considers it an option, only dialog can help sooth our differences and make things better.
The Thanksgiving long weekend was relaxing but that’s overshadowed by world events. Looking at the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, I understand that what Israel is doing with Gaza is wrong and that the roots of this go back many decades but what was the point of Hamas attacking Israel? They didn’t think they could actually hold territory right, was this all just to hit back hard for once? Didn’t anyone have enough foresight to realize Israel will retaliate and when they do, it’s the people of Gaza who will suffer?
I always side with the oppressed and thought the BDS movement was the only way to cause enough pain for Israel to give Palestinians their own home but this was just stupid. Attacking military or governmental entities is one thing, attacking innocent civilians (sometimes brutally) does their cause a great disservice and only hardens resolve. You can’t kill or fight your way out of this (for either side), there needs to be political will and right now everyone is acting like a bunch of school children.
Netanyahu’s grip on power was tenuous but now it’s as solid as ever, the world needs that asshole to leave before we can move forward and the weekend attack by Hamas has only set back that timeline and their cause.
So the Liberals are pushing the ridiculous Bill C21 which only addresses legal guns and with the help of the NDP, airsofters were able to get an exemption for the hobby. Score one for common sense but we have so much more to do, C21 should be scrapped altogether and my hope is that the bill fails to become law before the next election, I guess we’ll see.
One set is free, the other is still banned so yeah there’s still more work to do. As a legal gun owner (and former airsofter), I am tired of being used as punching bag, whenever criminals use guns the Liberals try to placate the masses by adding more rules or banning guns that are used by legal owners. It’s a farse and I hope that people realize that the Liberals have absolutely no answers to any of society’s problems. They’re pushing gun control because at a time of high inflation, an economy teetering on the edge of recession, Chinese political interference (that benefits the Liberals) and their governing record is abysmal and they have nothing to run on. Their last 8 years has been a complete failure, they’re personally corrupt and only have wedge politics, that’s it.
The next election can’t come soon enough and I would love nothing better than the total destruction of the Liberal party. It doesn’t stand for anything and this incessant team politics will ruin Canada.
Oh to anyone calling me a simplistic Conservative, feel free to look through my previous blog posts and you’ll see that nothing could be farther from the truth.
