The Trudeau government has decided to release the documents it used to justify invoking the Emergencies Act to the Public Order Emergency Commission on Tuesday after claiming for weeks that they were protected under cabinet confidence.
“Criminalizing Dissent”
‘Disgusting’: Maxime Bernier slams Trudeau for holding Tamara Lich ‘prisoner’
Maxime Bernier believes Tamara Lich is a “political prisoner,” and that the Liberal regime is treating her like a dissident in an authoritarian state. Bernier states that he will “continue to support this courageous woman.”
What progressive extremism experts get wrong
An entire industry has been built on narcissism
… With a finite number of terrorist groups to map and study, the experts needed to branch out: so they heartily embraced the concept of extremism, a category so capacious and permissively malleable that it encompasses not only behaviour and thought but conceivably anything that the expert in question deems politically undesirable or “problematic”. This made the field acutely vulnerable to exploitation by political activists whose interest is less to study extremists than to manufacture them in an effort to stigmatise and silence their political opponents.
Over the last few years, as my colleague Liam Duffy has documented, the study of extremism has ballooned exponentially: there are now experts on gaming and extremism, climate-change and extremism, sport and extremism, gender and extremism, fashion and extremism, music and extremism, neo-Nazi accelerationists, incels, femcels, jihadi poetry, and far-Right speech-codes. One expert has even written an article on “LOL extremism”.
FBI arrests Michigan republican governor candidate Ryan Kelley…
FBI agents executed search and arrest warrants at his home in Allendale, near Grand Rapids, and took Kelley into custody, a spokeswoman for FBI Detroit, initially confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Ryan Kelley, 40, of Allendale, Michigan, was arrested Thursday morning on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach, FBI Detroit spokeswoman Mara R. Schneider said in an update.
Elections watchdog says it should be illegal to spread misinformation about voting
Canada’s chief electoral officer has issued a wide-ranging report on the last two federal elections that calls for action to crack down on hate groups, improved regulation of third parties and new laws to make it illegal to spread disinformation about elections and voting.
Unless you’re a liberal.
Jan. 6 committee goals: ‘Imprison Trump, destroy Electoral College’
The special committee set up by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to “investigate” the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol started out badly. Pelosi refused the GOP’s nominees for the committee and to her own party’s picks added a couple of rabidly anti-Trump GOP members, making the entire process partisan.
Then it has demanded testimony from hundreds of witnesses, and even has attacked members of the U.S. House with subpoenas and threats, unprecedented in House disputes.
Observers have noted it has made clear from the outset that the results of the investigation are to be that President Trump is to be punished, no matter the facts.
FUREY: The Emergencies Act inquiry isn’t looking good for Trudeau
The past month or so has brought out a number of clarifications about what exactly transpired during this winter’s freedom convoy and what went on behind the scenes before and during the controversial invoking of the Act. And many of them expose how a lot of what the federal Liberal government was leading people to believe was just outright falsehoods.
Canada: Growing pushback against Trudeau’s clinging to vaccine mandates as others discard them
In Canada, the unvaccinated are banned from all commercial airliners, passengers and crew member alike. But pressure is mounting against Trudeau.
Trudeau’s American counterpart Joe Biden also has a “no logic” border policy, as border crossings from Canada to the US are restricted for the unvaxxed, even though Biden permits multitudes of illegals from Mexico to enter the US — a whopping half a million “during a 10-week period ending on May 15.” Also, refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine are entering America, many of whom are unvaxxed. So why keep Canadians out, people who could benefit both the Canadian and American economies? Something is clearly amiss.
They came. They idled. They left. What have convoy protesters been doing since they went home?
One interesting thing about the convoy for Lee Bates and Sandy Williams and Luke Kendze and a lot of others once they got back home from Ottawa is that they remembered it as a revolution and a revelation – and not just in the religious sense, though that was true as well. Now that the pandemic has killed 15 million people worldwide, now that CSIS has revealed how alarmed it was (and is) about the northward drift of “ideologically motivated violent extremism” during February’s occupation of Ottawa, now that support for the convoy may be a requirement to lead the Conservative Party, it might help to know what stuck with the people who descended on Canada’s capital. Are Lee and Luke and Sandy permanent converts to the populist cause? What did they take away from Ottawa, beyond memories of barbecues and bouncy castles?
Ontario judge decides ‘Freedom Convoy’ organizer Tamara Lich stays out on bail
Ontario Superior Court Justice Kevin Phillips said his decision was based on how well Lich’s surety has supervised her, that she has followed her bail conditions, along with “having had a taste of jail,” which lowered risk of reoffence.
The judge said he does not accept that Lich breached her release conditions by agreeing to receive an award, and added Lich can be trusted to respect the conditions of her release.
Roman Baber Schools CBC Host On The Failures of Lockdowns and Dr. Theresa Tam
Former MPP Conservative Party leadership candidate Roman Baber recently appear on the CBC with Rosemary Barton, host of “Rosemary Barton Live,” where he proved how little the Canadian legacy media is willing and able to speak about the negative effects of lockdowns and other restrictions placed on Canadians over the last two years.
On the offset, it should be said that Baber did a great job of discussing the issue of the failures of restrive COVID-19 policies in a way that would be appealing to those who may have thought lockdowns were effective, but the most interesting part of the interview is Barton’s reaction to the discussion.
Ontario judge to decide if ‘Freedom Convoy’ organizer Tamara Lich heads back to jail
OTTAWA — An Ottawa judge is expected to decide today whether “Freedom Convoy” organizer Tamara Lich should return to jail.
Moiz Karimjee, a Crown prosecutor, says Lich violated one of her bail conditions by agreeing to accept an award for her leadership during the Ottawa protest, and should be sent back behind bars to wait for her trial.
BREAKING: American journalist Jack Posobiec detained by Swiss police
“BREAKING: US Journalist @JackPosobiec has been detained by Swiss police. They refused to tell me the reason he and his team have been detained. He shares that police pointed guns at him and stopped him because he “looked suspicious”.
Calling Poilievre a white supremacist over use of ‘Anglo Saxon’ disgusting and laughable
Have you heard the latest from the chattering classes about Pierre Poilievre?
They have proof that he’s a racist and a white supremacist because he used the term Anglo Saxon.
I wish I was making this up but there are actual stories out there making this claim by supposedly serious journalists.
We’ve all seen this movie. The political class & their left media minions are attempting to paint all criticism of immigration policy as white supremacist and the result of The Great Replacement bugaboo. God forbid you attempt to defend your culture, only Quebec and other government approved victims are allowed to do that. And heaven help us if you defend the rule of law against the left’s open borders madness. Didn’t you absorb the learnings of your CRT indoctrination class you evil white skinned oppressor?
In Canada our mainstream political parties and their corporate cronies favour a mass immigration policy that furthers their interests not yours. They care only about meeting their magic numbers and not the consequences of their choices. The following statement will have me labeled a proponent of The Great Replacement Theory: Sound immigration policy should benefit citizens not corporate earnings or the vote whoring lust of venal politicians. Call me what you want, I won’t stop discussing our destructive immigration policy.
Unfortunately for Canada dissent is being criminalized. Time to ditch your oppressor’s political parties.
