  1. How to disrupt the Australian government: secretly gift dual citizenship to leading members of Parliament.

    [Australian Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby] Joyce, who was born in Australia, said he was told by New Zealand officials last week that he may be a citizen by descent. …
    “Neither I nor my parents have ever had any reason to believe that I may be a citizen of any other country,” he said. …
    The government’s majority would be eliminated if Joyce was forced from office, likely triggering an election, political analysts said.

    After the next election, let’s bestow Canadian citizenship on the leader of whichever party wins. 😼

  3. Re: Charlottville.
    It was nauseating to watch CTV putting a leftist spin on the story.
    From slurs about Trump to inaccurate statements about the Alt-Right involvement, today’s news would warrant having CTV taken off my cable service. Sadly in small town Sask, the cable company can’t do that.

    The political warfare follows the insurgency methods used by Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong. “In Maoist insurgencies, the formation of a counter-state is essential to seizing state power,” he said. “Political warfare operates as one of the activities of the ‘counter-state’ and is primarily focused on the resourcing and mobilization of the counter state or the exhaustion and demobilization of the targeted political movement.”
    In the Marxist strategy and tactics, political correctness is being used to foster intolerance of political movements of the right and toleration of leftist movements.
    The attack narratives being used are pervasive and can be seen in social media, television, and the 24-hour news cycle in all media, as well as within the foreign policy establishment. “They inform the entertainment industry from late night monologues, to situation comedies, to television series memes, to movie themes,” Higgins said. “The effort required to direct this capacity at President Trump is little more than a programming decision to do so. The cultural Marxist narrative is fully deployed, pervasive, full spectrum and ongoing.”
    Information attacks against the president are carried out through overt publicity and covert propaganda and infiltration and subversion means.
    The current campaign against Trump is seeking to delegitimize the president, his administration, and the vision of America he promoted as a candidate.
    Key major opposition themes are that Trump is illegitimate, corrupt, and dishonest. Secondary political attacks include the notion that Russia hacked the election, Trump obstructed justice and is hiding Russian collusion, and that he is a “puppet” of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
    “Adversaries utilize these interlocking narratives as a defensive political and information warfare screen that silences critics and smears supporters of President Trump,” Higgins said.
    “When people in the media question the behavior, actions and decisions of the Trump administration’s opponents, they are immediately said to be ‘working for the Russians’ or ‘supporting Russian propaganda.'”
    Additionally Americans who support the president are deemed “deplorable” and “racist.”

  5. Sask Watch; Yup, nauseating. CTV’s been running this TV ad featuring Lisa Laflamme extolling her virtuousness. She’s there for us, dontcha know? Hurl worthy.

  6. Heh
    We’re not just making the topography flatter; like climate scientists we’re adjusting and homogenizing the landscape.

  7. Impressive video of the latest landrollers. The widest I ever used was 40 feet.
    Just like marriage commissioners of faith being singled out and forced to marry alt-lifestyle couples and cake bakers being singled out and forced to bake wedding cakes for alt-lifestyle couples, now the attempt is on to force a Catholic faith based hospital to assist in suicides. The various institution’s offer to transfer patients to a hospital that does offer assisted suicide is not enough for those that want to attack and destroy faith. The modern Marxists are just pursuing war on religion with slower methodology than Lenin and Stalin did.

    Nietzsche is on the attack and winning everywhere.

  8. That has to be a violation of the Charter, totally violating religious freedom — not that the Supremes would recognize it as such.

  9. Exactly. The charter is often used as a one way street for certain groups. It is a useless piece of paper for freedom of the individual and was designed so.

  10. One thing that is missing from the Charter of Rights is a statement that courts should not choose one right or freedom over another where they conflict. Courts should apply the Charter as a shield and not a sword.

  11. Bongo and his sycophant minister Freeland are going to force gender and environmental standards on the US in the NAFTA. Ya sure you are. Make the Americans sign on to the paris accord through the back door.
    Maybe sacrifice supply management for a gender equality clause.

  12. Out with the reds.

    “Sayonara, sucker: Blue Jays ditch red jerseys”
    ““We should probably shred ‘em, burn ‘em, I don’t know,” Ryan Goins said after the game. “Give ‘em away to charity, something.””
    “Given the bad luck the Blue Jays have had wearing their red alternate jerseys this season, the team decided to ditch them yesterday — and by all accounts, it worked.
    Toronto beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-1. In their previous three Sunday home games, the opposition scored a combined 44 runs.”

  13. Re: the Dingleberry Land Roller. Do you have any idea how many new Somali refugees (from Trump’s Minnesota) that one piece of equipment has put out of a job ? Instead of this brutal contraption of filthy Western industrialism … there could be literally thousands of Somali’s employed with large boots to stomp your Canadian pea fields level. Why do you HATE refugees so much ? Do you really WANT to support them on government handouts ? Why not force the Canadian farmer to hire their “fair share” of immigrants to “do the work that (white) Canadians just won’t do” (without mechanized assistance) ?

  14. That’ll go over well in Alberta. Red Rachel would love it if they all came here. After all, all farm workers are now unionized and come under all sorts of safety rules.
    The added costs that this would entail would finally put the independent farmers out of business and bring about the heavenly state of collectivization that the Dippers yearn for. In addition, with all those new union members, Commissar Notley, et. al., will remain in office forever.
    I’m being sarcastic, by the way. Considering how popular Bill 6 is in this province and how much rural voters hate Commissar Notley, et. al., the likelihood of what you’ve proposed (tongue in cheek, I trust) actually happening asymptotically approaches zero.

  15. Mohammed the cannibal routed. Again.

  16. Brian Lilley has quit The Rebel.
    I tried to post a link but Facebook links always get caught up in the filter here.

  17. I agree in part. Certainly the Marxists are following the Gramsci strategy of taking over the culture, as well as the Marcuse strategy of recruiting the underclasses.
    For same-sex marriage, since it’s a state initiative, marriage officials for the state don’t have the option to decline. It is not a violation of their religious rights.
    However, same-sex marriage cannot be forced on religious institutions; to do so would violate the Charter of Rights section 2(a). The problem is that section 2 isn’t really worth much any more, particularly since the 2012 Supreme Court decision S.L. v. Commission scolaire des ChĂȘnes, a horrendous, ignorant ruling which pretty much destroyed freedom of conscience and religion.
    The wedding cake issue is the same in principle. A private baker has no obligation whatsoever to cater to a same-sex marriage if he disapproves of it.
    The church-affiliated hospital issue is tricky because of government funding. However, given that the government bullies its way into everything, I would side with the hospital.

  18. Sounds like Brian Lilley was under some pressure of his own to ‘disavow’ from his other corporate overlords.

  19. Very sorry to hear that Lilly is leaving the Rebel. I think they are an important source for alternative views. We are otherwise stuck with the one-note story force fed to us by the likes of CBC, CTV, etc.
    I also thought Ezra’s memo to staff disassociating affiliation with alt-right was sincere and thought provoking. When you are pursuing edgy stories, you will not always get the political correctness right. For that reason, I am disappointed with Doug Schweitzer’s view that people should abandon the Rebel. They are an important niche in the news media and I have never seen them come across as racist or bigots.
    I did not view Faith Goldy coverage of the events in Charlottesville. It was not my impression that everyone there was a white supremacist or Nazi. I think some people feel strongly about heritage and see Southern heritage being destroyed. Lee Park is just the start of many more such events to come. I think such things are a genuine and deliberate assault on Southern identity. In the end, not that many people showed up, possibly because of the media focus on the extremists. Those that did show up were treated badly by police, and of course attacked by the Antifas.
    I would like to see better coverage of the nastiness perpetrated by left-wing extremists. BLM is clearly a racist group. Rebel seems to be one of the only news outlets that is even trying to investigate and find out what is beneath the surface.
