House of Commons administration is keeping files on what Canadians say about their MPs. The “very robust records management system” included social media posts, said the Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms: “We have different categories, if they are misogynistic, etcetera.”
Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose.

We already knew that the “fine people” hoax was based on the lie that Trump called white supremacists “fine people,” instead of, as he did, condemning them. But until yesterday, we didn’t know that the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville and whose protest led to the death of one person were bused there on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s dime, and were organized to be there by an SPLC “informer.”
This sounds like a job for Warren Kinsella.
Though the reasons for the uprising in Ireland are completely different than what happened in Canada in 2022, in both cases, the governments were completely uninterested in what their citizens were saying. That seems to be the pattern when global elites get too comfortably close with their client governments.
Something significant happened today. Most people missed it. Carefully watch.
American citizens need to get much more politically engaged and here is proof positive why.
In Britain, it appeared that Nigel Farage and his Reform Party were sailing towards a victory at the next election in a few years. Many right-of-centre Britons had reservations about Farage but realized they had no other way to effect change in their nation. Recently though, a gentleman named Rupert Lowe launched a new party called Restore Britain and many expect them to capture a large amount of support in the coming months and years, sweeping Farage into the dustbin of history.
In Canada, many have questioned if Pierre Poilievre is a real conservative and not merely a placeholder as the junior member of the Uniparty. These suspicions are rising as Poilievre has chosen to criticize, rather than praise, Jamil Jivani for his recent actions to help resolve Canadian/American relations.
Polymarket is opening the first free grocery store in New York City. It’s not clear if they’ve taken out any special insurance in case the “nice” folks in the city start fighting each other for a pork chop.
This is a long, but fascinating, discussion with author Gregg Hurwitz. I listened to it while making & eating lunch, gaining some wisdom in the process.
My God, this might be the loudest mic drop I’ve ever seen in the history of debating 🤭 bookmark and post every time a zombie PR Jihad propagandist comes at you with the AIPAC/Israel “aid” talking point 🔥

Some won’t like what Professor Glenn Diesen has to say about the Ukraine War, but he is correct.
I’m not sure what to make of this. Thoughts?
Natasha Mrkic Subotic, employed at Capilano University in B.C., has written an op-ed about the new state of post-secondary education:
With new global attraction strategies, Canada is trying to draw talent from abroad but neglecting the systems that nurture our own youth.
B.C.’s institutions, and their counterparts across the country, are confronting a financial reckoning more than a decade in the making.
What comes next may reshape how Canadians learn, work and access opportunities for decades.
The seeds of today’s crisis were planted as far back as 2011, when the federal government signalled a bold new direction. Economic plan 2011 called for a comprehensive International education strategy. This direction was amplified in 2013 when the global markets plan identified international education as one of 22 priority sectors where Canada held a competitive advantage.
Of course, given her own biases, she spins things in a very particular way. There is an entirely different point of view on this subject.
Yes it is. And if you find yourself dipping a toe in this fever swamp, step back. Touch grass. Touch snow.
🚨#BREAKING: Erika Kirk just erupted on Fox News.
… and rightly so.
After people accuse her family and the TPUSA team of being “involved” in Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Her message is simple: STOP.
Her team watched her husband get murdered.
They’re getting death… pic.twitter.com/5gYwq6N5Xr— Brandon Tatum (@TheOfficerTatum) December 10, 2025
This AI cat video is an example of the latest state of AI videos. While most certainly amusing, there’s a darker side to what this technology could be used for.
Imagine if dozens, then hundreds, then thousands of videos start appearing on social media, showing police brutalizing black people or Muslims. Realize that 100% of these videos would be fake, but the average person won’t know that. What do you think would result? Who would do such a dastardly thing, you might be wondering?
I’ve long felt that [some of] the elites want the rest of us fighting with each other, rather than closely examining them. That’s who would launch such a propaganda campaign and they have more than enough money & resources to do it.
Interesting times in Ontario:
Ontario legislators passed Bill 60 on Monday, a sweeping omnibus bill designed to accelerate housing supply and reform the province’s rental-market infrastructure.
The legislation moves the needle on affordability by overhauling how landlords and developers navigate tenancy rules and development approvals.
Housing minister Rob Flack framed the changes as essential to restoring market balance. “With more supply comes lower rents,” he said during the final legislative vote.
The bill targets bottlenecks across multiple fronts: accelerating Landlord and Tenant Board hearings, standardizing development charges across municipalities, and streamlining zoning approvals.
Not everyone is happy. If you live in Ontario and can share more insight, it would be greatly appreciated.
