Marxists Stand Together: Official BLM Organization Issues Statement Supporting Cuba’s Communist Dictatorship
Is anyone really surprised?
As I’ve been writing about, we are seeing a rise of Marxism & Communism in Canada.
Much of it is being done under various guises, as Communists generally hide their true agenda and operate under different names that are more innocuous to the public.
Yet, there are times when the agenda and the infiltration of Marxists into our society is brought right out in the open.

“A big driver, especially in Alberta is economic conditions: are people going to find a job?” said Roach. “They come here looking for jobs, and if they can’t find one, or the opposite happens, and unemployment starts to rise, they tend to leave. So that’s exactly what’s happened.”

More young Canadians died from ‘unintentional side effects’ of the pandemic, not COVID

US media shamefully justified a string of Canadian church burnings
One day this month in Canada, 10 Catholic churches were vandalized in a single city, Calgary. In the last month, arsonists and vandals have attacked dozens of Canadian churches, burning some entirely to the ground.
America has 70.5 million Catholics; Canada, with just over a 10th of the population, has close to 13 million. So this is a big story. Yet the US media aren’t interested in reporting our northern neighbor’s plague of church burnings — except to suggest it’s understandable.
