  1. Yes.. My trust in all of our institutions has cratered.. Government, media, science and academia are all running around slaying imaginary dragons.. I fear for our future..

    1. ‘China officials are laughing’…
      Dumb Westerners are using the swabs in the wrong end.

      Obama: ‘Joe’s such a fuck up, I hope he doesn’t fuck this up too.’
      In Trudeauland we follow everything Biden does.

    2. You DO realize our so-called Leaders are going to take us from one “crisis” to another? Usurping constitutional Powers to do as they please. “Emergency” after “Emergency”… seizing Emergency Powers.

      If We the People don’t RESIST this illegal insanity … our lives are gonna become very much more miserable.

      BTW … my neighbors teenage son contracted Omicron a couple weeks ago. Nobody else in his family got infected … and they didn’t isolate him in his room. Nobody in their 5-person family got infected, or transmitted Omicron to anyone else. He had the sniffles, and that’s about it. This woman is quite literally … criminally insane.

  2. “What Institutions Can We Trust?”

    The CCFR that’s it, even the NRA has some credibility issues as of late.

  3. None. Not a single one. All of them are at the very least morally corrupt and all those in government, regulated by government, or subsidized by government are fundamentally malicious if not downright evil.

  4. Pertains more to my American brethren but I’m sure there are more than just a few bureaucrats in Canada with the the same mindset, but my jaw almost hit the ground when H.R. Mcmaster after being told of FBI malfeasance with respect to the Michigan kidnapping myth told Joe Rogan that institutions really do “need to be strengthened” as a remedy.
    Seriously, are you high?

    1. Save a pig!

      1. The total dollars being totally flushed on worthless studies and useless lobby groups in this country,
        if quantifiable, would boggle the mind!!

          1. Well Larry,we are all different.
            Rex is living proof censorship is impossible.
            And I find him informative and funny..
            As for the “Corner Gas” ref.will never watch,but they probably copied Rex directly,its CBC after all talentless and shameless thieves to the end .

          2. I’m with Larry. Never could stand Murphy-mouth.

            Obviously, his CBC contract paid him by the syllable, and he’s suffered from incurable logorrhea ever since.

            Lately, he’s been looking and sounding like a pop-eyed and bewildered Sam the Eagle from the old Muppet Show.

            If he could get to the point without all the faux-literary blandishments it would be a start. But only a modest one.

            And spare me the cultural icon bs — if his viewpoint differed from the majority on this blog, he’d be derided by all and sundry as a tiresome blowhard.

            And the same goes for that other look-at-me-ise-so-smart boring fop His lordly Lordship of the double-cross. A Viking send-off into the Great White North for those two, each strapped to the mast for eternity, would be deliciously poetic.

    1. While I was teaching there, you could certainly trust Armpit College….. to do the wrong and most idiotic thing and pass it off as a work of genius.

      1. trust Armpit College….. to do the wrong and most idiotic thing and pass it off as a work of genius

        …now if you had included “waste vast sums of money [from highly dubious sources]” I’d swear you’d be talking about your alma mater UBC.

        In recent years the self-styled geniuses in administration there have been poster children for the Dunning-Kruger effect. And they are enriched with seemingly unlimited bags of cash.

        1. your alma mater UBC

          Actually, I never finished at UBC. After a year, I transferred back to my original alma mater. I never regretted the decision.

          I returned to UBC to present a paper in the late 1990s, and the place still gave me the creeps.

          1. the place still gave me the creeps

            That’s because it’s built on a stolen Indian burial ground. I know that’s a fact because the administration proudly declares the rape and pillage at the start of every public address it gives. And it was among the very first Canadian institution to preen its stolen Eagle feathers in this fashion.

  9. I will never trust anything the government or the mainstream media every says. They lie repeatedly to spread the narrative. To quote Alex Jones, we are being led by devil worshippers and pedophiles. As every day goes by that looks truer and truer.

  10. The bottom line in what has transpired in the last two years is that there is not a government or a bureaucracy that can be trusted. Neil Oliver hit the nail on the head with his speech on trust. The bond of trust is one of, if not the greatest of, mankind’s strengths. Long in the furnace of life to heat, temper, forge and strengthen, often lasting a lifetime, but when weakened and broken very nearly impossible to repair and mend. We are now seeing the great weakening of our society brought about by graft and corruption on a massive scale and our medical practitioners heading government agencies and their accomplices in the media and government are responsible. When all the truth is exposed the trust lost will be nigh impossible to mend.

    1. Basically it is the break down of The Rule of Law.
      When I make a deal with someone and shake on it, if I can’t trust that person no more, commerce collapses.
      It separates us from the barbarians and the law of the jungle.

  11. The tidal wave I’m hoping for is the complete obliteration of all Left, woke, DEI political parties of all former Western nations. And while the COVID reckoning should be forefront, bundle the climate change garbage with it.
    These idiots thought Trump was the problem, just wait.

    1. I hope, but fear otherwise, that the tidal wave does come – but there are too many people who can’t think for themselves, and too many who can’t think at all. It’ll get worse before it gets better, and I’m unsure that it will get better…not in my lifetime anyway.

    2. Actually it is the DIE parties, I picked that up somewhere over the internet. It is I believe a little more truthful. Diversity doesn’t work when one of the diverse factions only wants you dead. Inclusion only works if everybody can agree and that’ll will only happen when there are two blue moons in the sky. Equality can only exist when everybody puts equal effort into the mix, when some claim and clamber for equality without putting in the work and effort to be equal then equality is a dead horse. You can whip it and beat it till the cows come home but you’ll never get it back into a working harness again. Just thought I’d throw that in for what it is worth.

  12. Trust takes years, many many years to build, takes seconds to break, and forever to mend.
    We are in a brave new world, with many wondrous and monstrous things yet to behold and endure.
    Will we prevail?
    That will depend on faith and action on a massive scale.

  13. Prinz Dummkopf will go on national television and look into the camera with a furtive tear in his eyes. The Canadian public will then go “Awwwwwww……” and grant him forgiveness of all his sins, after which he’ll continue in his corrupt, decadent, degenerate, and perverted ways as if nothing had ever happened.

    The smoothest teflon will seem like rough sandpaper compared with him.

    1. I agree totally. How could that useless idiot and his diverse followers ever be voted in, repeatedly?

      Defund all media to start.

    2. The Canadian public will then go “Awwwwwww……”

      As loathsome a situation as it is to have this mental and emotional defective rule over everyone in the post-nation state, it can be a small moral victory to remind oneself that Trudeau 2.0 can muster only 32% of the Canadian electorate — and it’s a shrinking support base — and he achieves this pathetic result despite having a strangle-hold on the (controlled) opposition, the government, the corporate media, AND despite having imported 3M “new Canadians” since the beginning of his regime.

      His execrable father, may he memory be forever cursed, didn’t have all the advantages Junior enjoys, but even so he was less unpopular — until the final years.

      1. You can’t forget about the other 20% or so that think Jughead is an appropriate choice. Just a different hairdo colour difference, they are brothers at heart.
        Voters for both share the same philosophy, it’s just the speed of implementation that they disagree on.
        THAT is what is scary about Canuckistan, the voters are THAT ignorant of reality

        1. You can’t forget about the other 20%

          I’m not forgetting, but I’m not talking about voting for policy. If I were, then I’d have to condemn 90% of Canadian voters as members of the free shit army supporting unlimited government.

          I’m just talking the cult of personality known as the Trudeau blood-line. My argument is that the cult is not so popular with Canadians as its supporters would have you believe.

          I have admitted this is only a small moral victory, as the cult clings to power despite how few people actually vote for it.

  14. “Defund all media to start.”

    Then, in addition to cutting the annual 1.2 billion to CBC and the $800 million he’s handed out to the other whores, you’d have to make all forms of government advertising illegal.

    Pinky’s going to get right on that … and Kenney… and blubber douggie … and ….

    And as far as institutions go, virtually all of the Christian churches ducked and cowered.

  15. Neil Oliver is far more optimistic than I am.
    Maybe the general population realizing they have been lied to and changing their habits will occur in his country but it won’t happen in Canada.

    The powers that be will merely say, “all the experts said” and our bleating populace will say “yes, we thought we were doing the right thing, we ostracized and villainized all those people because everyone “knew” it was the Right thing to do.”

    To do otherwise would mean they would need to admit they were tricked and / or stupid and / or an immoral person.
    That type of self inspection won’t happen with the majority of Canadians and they sure won’t ask that of their leaders.

  16. Well, I trust that pretty much every important institution in Canada are completely comfortable lying repeatedly and without shame. A Noble Lie is still a lie and I seriously doubt that there was anything noble in their lies. Constant lies create a low trust society and all the problems of a low trust culture.

    Basically, research what the liars say and the exact opposite and then trust yourself. You’re the one that has to live with the decision. I research everything that’s important but I also listen when my instincts and bullshit detector are trying to tell me something. It’s okay to wait for more information if you’re undecided. You have the absolute right to bodily autonomy and medical autonomy. Call out those who support and implement policies of medical discrimination and segregation. People who dehumanize and incite hatred in this way are never the good guys.

  17. No one is good but God alone, and no one is trustworthy but God alone. Anybody who forgets that does so at his peril.

    There was never a golden age where human institutions could be trusted. The best you could hope for is that they would leave you and yours in peace.

    1. The citizens are crazier, for electing such a tyrant.

      The WEF trained her well, along with Macron, ButtJudge, Castreau, Merkel, etc

  21. Things aren’t going to get better. History is pretty clear on this; once a country has gone this far down the road of kleptocratic socialism, the only endgame is collapse followed by authoritarianism. Whether that authoritarianism comes from the government exerting itself violently, an invasion from another country, or just local warlordism won’t matter to the dead.

  22. I went rummaging through Twitter earlier today. I was looking for CBC coordinated messages on COVID. They basically had two points they were trying to make:

    1) SHA modelling was projecting terrible things for the Saskatchewan people.
    2) SHA can’t add.

    I don’t know which is worse, 1), or 2). I think SHA is spreading “Bull 2)” all over the people of Saskatchewan.

  23. I haven’t had any trust in federal gov’t for decades. Like, 4 or 5 of them.

    I haven’t had any trust in provincial gov’t since Ralph.

    I haven’t had any trust in my municipal gov’t for about 15 years, although some of that may return with the current crop.

    I haven’t trusted cops for a decade or more.

    I haven’t trusted MSM in 20 years or more.

    I trust science, but not necessarily those claiming to be scientists.

    The only real change for me over the last two years is a near complete loss of trust in the medical field.

    2. I’m not quite so dumb, Biker. I disagree with your last point, it’s the medical institutions and government interference in medicine that I have no trust; doctors I still trust.

  24. Dread Covid Theatre has restored my faith in Human Nature,There is nothing Government cannot fuck up,absolutley nothing.
    The Key Institutionions are infested.
    From a burning beacon in the dark,to infestations of filth and corruption.
    And burn they will.
    For there is nothing to be saved.
    The minions are evil.
    The records creak with 300 years of self serving and larceny.
    Nothing can be allowed to survive ,or we will have barely relaid the foundations of Civilization,before in crumbled from the corruption with in.
    And there is no Reform that will save it,no Political Party,who even know the problem.
    Restore CSA one of the final acts.

    Naturally we hesitate .
    But every day our choices vanish.
    It will be a glorious flame

    1. From a burning beacon in the dark,to infestations of filth and corruption.

      I have no idea why, but when I read your latest creation, I was reminded of:

      “And we are here as on a darkling plain
      Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
      Where ignorant armies clash by night.”
