  1. Great journalism!! What a crowd!!

    Apparently Austrians protested yesterday, to no avail.
    Montreal and BC have had relatively good turnouts as well, but who is listening??

    1. Millions of people are, but slime stream media refuse to tell the truth or smear those who oppose the global tyranny. Keep in mind this global pandemic saved corporate media financially.

      1. It’s Skynews. I check in quite often. They are great for reporting truth on Biden.
        They are not part of the lefty propaganda team.

      2. Peta is pretty good. Rita is also a good presenter.

        Andrew Bolt is a Left but too arrogant to admit it and works from Column to Column based on what he thinks will get his contract renewed. Sure he makes a stand against some low hanging fruit – he rejects the black arm band industry and the COP/IPCC/Greta bollocks – but he is also on record for endorsing Joe Biden because of his shameless Never Trump opinion.

        Bolt devoted an entire segment back late 2020 on his show to describing how the ‘Fine Words’ of Biden that were used in the debate meant that Biden should be allowed to use those same ‘Fine Words’ as President.

        Bolt said that.

        Six months later he was giggling at how much Biden is a drooling idiot the same as everyone else.

        So, Sky News Australia? Worth keeping an eye on, but still remember to read between the lines and think for yourself.

    2. Our local boot-licking media, CFRA, spent a lot of time on a “poll” that said 70% of Canadians supported non-vaccinated losing their jobs. I don’t believe it.

      1. Same thing reported on CTV “News” in Ottawa. With their fear-mongering, the media have turned Canadians into outright fascists.

        I’m sorry if I hurt any feelings…. waitaminute… No, I’m not.

    3. They will listen when they start to fear the people and not before.
      Show them the wall.
      Make lists of all the tyrants at every level of government because at some point their will be an accounting.

      1. As John Kennedy purportedly said, when peaceful change is made impossible, violent change becomes inevitable.

    4. When protesting is useless, people will turn to other methods. The IRA showed the world how it’s done.

      You will soon see bureaucrats begin to be tortured to death, by IRA-style paramilitaries.

      People won’t put up with this shit forever.

      If you are a Weatern bureaucrat, may want to reconsider your behaviour somewhat. History is a bitch of a teacher to those who aren’t paying attention in class.

      1. People won’t put up with this shit forever

        Unfortunately, history is full of examples of people in the millions putting up with so much as to ultimately be exterminated by their own governments. Do a search on “democide”. Most people are essentially passive, just leave me alone types, whereas most governments of all flavours are full of psychotic, I’ll never leave you alone types.

        You will soon see bureaucrats begin to be tortured to death, by IRA-style paramilitaries

        The IRA had some high-profile assassinations and/or attempts, such as Mountbatten. They supposedly tried to blow up Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet. I don’t recall the IRA going for the bureaucrats in a big way. I do remember they killed and maimed innocent civilians. Much of the IRA was infiltrated by British security forces. How much of the terrorist group was “legitimate grass roots” and how much was a government false-flag operation can be debated. It’s standard practice for all governments to use outlaw organizations to do things they would prefer not to be seen doing. Tsarist Russian security forces blew up the Tsar’s uncle so they could blame the anarchists. The OSS used the Italian mafia and Japanese Yakuza during WWII. The CIA used the mafia before and after Battista in Cuba, The FBI allegedly cooperated and shared intelligence with the IRA, which was also alleged in the Mountbatten operation. The American government viewed Mountbatten with grave suspicion for many reasons.

        TLDR: Most run-of-the-mill people will suffer and die before taking up arms against their government oppressors; don’t rely on the average person, including the big talkers, to do jack sh*t about anything.

        1. It’s merely a question of when the standard of living falls low enough that people realize that they have nothing left to lose.

          1. It’s merely a question of when the standard of living falls low enough that people realize that they have nothing left to lose

            Agreed. But my point is after that realization they meekly climb aboard the cattlecars headed for Siberia anyway.

  2. If dictator Dan rams that bill through, I hope he faces hundreds of thousands of protesters daily. It horrifies when what the so called leaders of that nation are doing right before the sniveling media, we are watching democracy disappear globally and in Canada in the name of a virus that less than one percent die from.

    1. The protesters need to lay siege to the Tyrants Home and Family as he has laid siege to the people. Also go after every MP and MLA. Blockade them in their lairs.

  3. As long as our legacy media remain the handmaidens of our governments, you’re not going to hear thing one about protests like this, or they’ll be so heavily-edited and “interpreted” by the press as “just a few extremists who want us all to die” that it won’t matter anyways.

    I never used to really understand civil disobedience.

    1. The IRA understood civil disobedience. Do our elites think a repeat of Ireland’s troubles is impossible in the UK, France, Australia?

      1. What precisely did the IRA achieve?

        A majority of Northern Ireland more firmly than ever allied to the UK?

        A republican government in Eire that accepted the status quo on the island?

        Seems like the IRA achieved what the British wanted all along. Plus they got rid of Mountbatten, who was probably an irritant to the British government, and certainly a concern to the Americans.

      2. I don’t think ‘civil disobedience’ means what you think it means. Nor would the 1696 people the IRA killed.

    2. I’ve read the dismissive summaries of Vancouver anti-vax protests; it’s always said to be just a trifling clutch of dummies, a tiny minority nobody takes seriously. Such stories are almost always accompanied by an interview with an emergency health care worker, alternately sobbing and snarling with rage because the protesters delayed an ambulance somewhere. Meanwhile, ‘Extinction Rebellion’ holds openly scheduled WEEKLY protests in downtown Vancouver, tying up traffic, duct-taping themselves to the pavement, etc. and this is serenely countenanced as a colourful part of the vibrant tenor of big city life.

    1. Indeed. That’s why Jewish intellectuals and their fellow travellers/running dogs have been demonizing it ever since WWII.

  4. Socialism and communism can only work with a strong authoritarian government.
    All those millions of thefts per day by the State have to be enforced by the State.
    Freedom and free thinking cannot co-exist with Marxism.

    Virtually everyone who goes into government on either side of the fence believes that more government is necessary.

    Marxism IS slavery.

  5. I’ve grown increasingly in the belief that the same elites who are the puppet masters of the “democratically elected politicians” also very much control 99% of the news media. These same elites LOVE to see us lowly plebs fighting amongst ourselves, be it over vaccines, race, climate change, etc. It doesn’t matter the topic, for as long as we are fighting against each other then we are not looking at them.

    1. same elites who are the puppet masters of the “democratically elected politicians” also very much control 99% of the news media

      What’s so special about “news media”?

      The people who work in “news media” are employees who take orders or get the sack just life everyone else.

      The “news media” are companies that have corporate owners just like all other major corporations.

      In the old days, say 40 years ago or so, there was slightly more diverse ownership of corporate media. But with decades of central bank money printing, suppression of interest rates, and bank credit expansion, the ownership of everything has been concentrated into the hands of very few. Yes, these few own and control everything, ALL corporations, and certainly ALL politicians.

      Taking CTV as an example in this country, it’s owned by BCE Inc. BCE Inc. is owned by the banks and private equity. Private equity and the banks in turn all own each other’s shares. The top of the pyramid is Vanguard, ownership unknown. In Japan, it’s a commonly known phenomenon called “keiretsu”: a conglomeration of businesses linked by cross-shareholdings. But Vanguard’s mysterious owners might possess the one ring that rules them all.

      Trusting “news media” to disseminate anything other than what the owners want you to think is to believe in childish fables. Look at the censorship and suppression of amateur news commentators on social media and the support of such tactics by corporate news media. Corporate news media is antithetical to purveying “truth”.

      1. Commented many times on the fake media central. A big giant head that orders the media everywhere what to tell the plebeians.

        Well, finally found it and here it is:
        https://www1.project-syndicate.org/about

        Anyway, there is more:
        “Project Syndicate’s public service mission has received support from the Open Society Foundations, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the MasterCard Foundation, the European Climate Foundation, the European Journalism Centre, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation, the Heinrich Böll Stiftung, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, GAM, the Google Digital News Initiative, McKinsey Global Institute, the Nature Conservancy, and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network.”

        Of course your plebeian does not know that, though, he would not know what to do with it anyway.
        Its ironic that the rich scum does not need to keep any secrets, they own the media cartel, so its all good.

      2. Have you noticed, for a brief moment, who was interviewing Soros?
        Yeah, they rule over this country now.

      3. The belgian clearly, without beating about the bush, clearly spells out a recipe on how to handle the plebeians.
        Note that he does not necessarily tell lies on the number of deaths, he is just telling them not to tell the whole truth.
        He actually says that the 7 people that will die every day is actually much less than will in fact die.
        You got to listen to the context, don’t want to spell the whole story here.

  6. Serious question, is this emergency measures act that 60,000 or so are protesting in Australia any different than the emergency measures act Scott Moe signed and authorized this fall?

    1. You can certainly download ’em both and have a look-see for yourself. I’m not sure you’d learn very much.

  7. Dear QCs:

    Re: Your open letter.

    Never use the weasely-wussy word “concern” in such a letter.
    Something much stronger is called for.

    Andrews needs to be Mussolinied.

  8. Justin and the premiers already act with the lack of legality she bemoaned if this bill is passed. Canadians? “Harder and more please mommy” What a joke of a country.

  9. Am I the only one who has noticed these elites pushing this crap don’t care about demonstrations, petitions, letters of concern or anything else? They just go right on doing what they are doing.

    1. No the elites know they have bought the media who’ll do their dirty work, the global media are the new Stasi and Brown shirts wearing red laces whilst screaming Nazis at the rest of us.

      1. so long as they continue to pay their taxes

        In a few years time, “taxes” as currently understood by most people will have become a quaint notion.

        The forthcoming central bank issued digital “currency” will mean that everything you think you own will actually be theirs.

        You think this is an exaggeration? Do some research. You think people will resist? Not only have people NOT resisted any of the tyrannical arrogations during the Covid Insanity, people have positively supported the government predations on personal liberty.

        We are all going to end up owning nothing without the sufferance of the government regime, and its owners.

  10. I, for one, believe absolutely they will get their just rewards. Call it karma. Call it God’s justice. Call it what you will. They will have to answer for their crimes against humanity.

    1. they will have to answer for their crimes against humanity

      If “humanity” refuses to defend itself against psychopaths, why should “karma” give a rat’s arse about it?

      1. Victor Davis Hanson tells us that hubris always invites nemesis. I’m not sure what good it will do any of us, even if true, however.

        1. hubris always invites nemesis

          Nemesis was a Greek deity. So in addition to Hindu Karma, we can include Greek mythology in our hopes for redress of grievance.

          Plato’s foil Thrasymachus, whose ideas he wished to ridicule and rebut, actually had an understanding of human nature and “morality” that was more grounded in the real world than any supernatural or wishful thinking.

          1. There is no morality without the supernatural. Only quaint, arbitrary notions of “fairness” grounded in nothing more than expediency and passing sentiment.

          2. There is no morality without the supernatural

            If that were true, then to coin a phrase, God help us.

  11. Somebody help ! the link for small dead animals is not letting me access the homepage, even when I click when I click the link on other websites all I get is the archive page.

    1. I am having same problem trying on my android (phone) and the old Mac (safari).
      I can access thru a new laptop only.

    2. Check with this, it seems to work.

      Just hit refresh. I had same problem and that fixed it

    1. are I missing something

      No, you are actually one of the few that is NOT missing anything.

  12. Friedrich von Hayek “Fascism is the stage reached after communism (me: the natural home of progressivism) has proved an illusion.”

    He worried nations paid in blood and treasure to defeat national socialism, only to replace it with dreary international socialism.

    “It is true that the virtues which are less esteemed and practiced now–independence, self-reliance, and the willingness to bear risks, the readiness to back one’s own conviction against a majority, and the willingness to voluntary cooperation with one’s neighbors–are essentially those on which an individualist society rests. Collectivism has nothing to put in their place, and in so far as (what) it already has destroyed; then it has left a void filled by nothing but the demand for obedience and the compulsion of the individual to what is collectively decided to be good.” And that is a charitable description of present day western society imho, on the hunt for outgroups and vote cleavages.
