He Admires Their Basic Dictatorship

Ottawa Citizen;

The Canadian Forces wants to establish a new organization that will use propaganda and other techniques to try to influence the attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of Canadians, according to documents obtained by this newspaper.
 
The plan comes on the heels of the Canadian Forces spending more than $1 million to train public affairs officers on behaviour modification techniques of the same sort used by the parent firm of Cambridge Analytica, as well as a controversial and bizarre propaganda training mission in which the military forged letters from the Nova Scotia government to warn the public that wolves were wandering in the province.

Say It Isn’t So, Joe!

Paul Sperry;

A federal judge named Joe Biden as a possible “witness” along with his son Hunter in a criminal fraud case last year that ended in the convictions of two of Hunter’s business partners, according to little-noticed court documents. The Democratic presidential candidate’s appearance on a witness list casts new doubt on his claims he knew nothing about his son’s shady business dealings.

Don’t sell them short — a lot of planning and effort goes into not noticing Democrat corruption.

All In This Together

Marni Soupcoff;

We have been asked by the government to make many sacrifices to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. This was possible — if not exactly easy — to abide in the early days of the pandemic because there was an underlying assumption that: 1) all of us would be sacrificing; and 2) while all of us were sacrificing, the government would be working furiously and with ruthless efficiency to get itself ready to fight COVID-19.
 
Now we know there was no basis for either of these assumptions.
