Another wide ranging interview, nearly four hours and worth every minute.
Political Happenings in Ontario
The WEF Globalists vs. Free Speech & Free People
Germany’s Olaf Schulz and the WEF’s Klaus Schwab epitomize the totalitarian views of the globalist elites. They are the true enemies of free people everywhere.
Alex Christoforou has thoughts.
Help Find Canada’s Worst Censorship Bylaw
A Canadian Constitution Foundation project.
While we at the Canadian Constitution Foundation are grateful for the attention our big federal and provincial cases often get, we’ve become increasingly worried in recent years about just how much local governments are stepping outside of their bounds to bully Canadians.
Not only are more and more municipalities keen on regulating things outside of what local governments are supposed to, they seem egregiously unaware that the constitution applies to them too.
One trend we’re seeing is municipal governments—both big and small—censoring Canadians using bylaws and policies to regulate speech on public property, codes of conduct used to silence council members, and other bylaws that violate freedom of speech, the freedom of assembly, and the division of powers.
And The Horse You Rode In On
Mock Vijaya Gadde Day!
While we eagerly await Trump’s inauguration on Monday, I propose we denote January 19th, 2025 as “Mock Vijaya Gadde Day”!
If you’re not sure who Ms. Gadde is, let’s step backwards in history:
- Nov 5, 2024: Donald Trump is elected as President of the United States of America for the 2nd time.
- Oct 27, 2022: Elon Musk took over Twitter, later renaming it to X.com.
- Jan 8, 2021: Vijaya Gadde, legal counsel at Twitter, was instrumental in permanently suspending Trump from Twitter.
- Mar 5, 2019: Gadde, Jack Dorsey & Tim Pool appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
If you’re not clear how all of this is connected, here’s a summation:
- If Elon Musk had not bought Twitter, there’s a strong argument that Donald Trump would not have won the election, for America would have remained in the Dark Ages of highly censored free speech.
- Vijaya Gadde is an anti-free speech advocate, and thus an anti-American social justice warrior. She had no moral right to ban the President of the United States, yet felt no qualms with doing so.
- History will applaud Tim Pool for being one of only a few journalists with the courage to push back against Gadde’s lies and half truths.
So the day before Trump’s inauguration, raise a fist in the air and shout, “Fight, fight, fight!!!” against despicable little apparatchiks like Vijaya Gadde.
A Twofer for Keir “Stürmer” Starmer
UK’s “progressive” Labour Party has long detested both pubs and free speech. With one motion, they are aiming to eliminate both! Have you any doubt, that Trudeau’s successors are watching this with much anticipation that they’ll be able to do the same?!
Mann Down
National Review- Pay Up, Mr. Mann
For more than eight years, the climate scientist Michael Mann harassed National Review through litigation over a blog post — until, eventually, the First Amendment brought an end to his attack. This week, a court in our nation’s capital ordered Mann to pay us $530,820.21 worth of attorney’s fees and costs, and to do so within 30 days. It is time for him to get out his checkbook, and sign on the dotted line.
Not The Tampons!
New York Times- Inside Mark Zuckerberg’s Sprint to Remake Meta for the Trump Era
That same day at Meta’s offices in Silicon Valley, Texas and New York, facilities managers were instructed to remove tampons from men’s bathrooms, which the company had provided for nonbinary and transgender employees who use the men’s room and who may have required sanitary pads, two employees said.
Another Conspiracy Theory Proves to have been True
It was just over one month ago when the Romanian Constitutional Court suddenly canceled their presidential election. There were many rumours about outside interference.
Fast forward, and carefully watch this unhinged rant by EU apparatchik, Thierry Breton. Be sure to pay close attention to the subtitled captions in the last few seconds.
Breton was the same person who threatened Elon Musk about talking publicly with Donald Trump during the U.S. Presidential campaign. Now he’s admitting to the EU blocking the democratic will of the Romanian people?!

Free Speech: Looking Back to Look Forward
Being a Canadian living in America, I want to learn more about my adopted homeland, so I recently purchased The U.S. Constitution and Other Writings. It begins with the Silence Dogood letters, which were written by Benjamin Franklin in 1722, at the young age of 17. Using this pseudonym, he wrote 14 letters, which were published in the New-England Courant, a newspaper published by his older brother, James.
Letter #8 is particularly interesting because it deals with the subject of Free Speech. In the letter, he mostly quotes an article published two years earlier in the London Journal. You can read the entire letter, but here is a critical portion:
Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as publick Liberty, without Freedom of Speech; which is the Right of every Man, as far as by it he does not hurt or countroul the Right of another: And this is the only Check it ought to suffer, and the only Bounds it ought to know.
This sacred Privilege is so essential to free Governments, that the Security of Property, and the Freedom of Speech always go together; and in those wretched Countries where a Man cannot call his Tongue his own, he can scarce call any Thing else his own.
Fast forward 300 years, and we find scoundrels like John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Keir Starmer, Justin Trudeau and his fellow Liberals, and assorted government officials throughout the EU, all openly insisting that Free Speech be eliminated.
Make no mistake, we have entered a Very Dark Age, where there is a concerted effort by powerful people to silence, punish, and imprison anyone who dares speak out against their despicable policies and actions. The next time you hear anyone speak of misinformation or disinformation or “hateful speech”, know that the motivations behind their words lie somewhere between malicious and pure evil.

If It Weren’t For Fake Hate
There’d be no hate at all.
The alleged victim of an anti-gay “hate crime” at Illinois State University is not even homosexual – and he changed his story multiple times, according to a police report obtained by The College Fix via a public records request.
Though the police and university left the community with the impression the case was closed because of a lack of suspects and that the unnamed individual was “knocked” off a scooter and “punched,” the official report from the incident four months ago tells a different story.
“Although this was reported as a possible Hate Crime, I was unable to establish the elements of the offense,” Detective Matthew Hice wrote at the end of the police report about the Aug. 24 incident.
How sad must one’s life be to fake a crime and fake being gay?
If It Weren’t For Fake Hate
There’d be no hate at all.
Not only has Barbara Perry refused to give anybody her list (which she insists actually exists and is not completely made up) but her university spent a whack of cash desperately trying to fend off a freedom of information request to get the info. She should be investigated by… https://t.co/S0VhEsYyXq

Blubber Douggie Wants his Pound of Freedom flesh
That headline is from an SDA regular who shared this story with me. I would have probably gone with “Randy Hillier vs The Deep State”.
Just as in the movies the evil empire is relentless however in real life its is the evil legal/political Machine that is relentless.
After nearly three years in the courts fighting frivolous and trumped-up charges, Ontario Superior court Judge Perkins-McVeigh stayed all on proceedings on my 9 criminal charges against me on November 14th 2024.
The legal machine not only hates losing they are somewhat sadistic and get pleasure from punishing people with their process and trying to ruin them financially. The Ontario Crown, Etienne lacombe under the direction of Doug Fords Conservative Minister gave me notice that on December 12th that they will appeal Justice Perkins- McVeigh decision.
A Most Important Discussion About Free Speech
Neil Oliver interviews Matt Taibbi. Grab a coffee. It’s well worth a watch.
“Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
That quote comes from Lord John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, who lived between 1834 and 1902.
Here’s a great interview with David Sacks, who will be Trump’s new AI and Crypto Czar and Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. He is one of a few openly non-Woke tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley.
Update: In the comments, Joe Butson recommends the All-In podcast, featuring David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, and other interesting folks.
Smear Campaign
Now that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is playing on the other team, it’s clear that the knives are out. Heather Heying and Brett Weinstein review a recent hit piece in The Atlantic regarding RFK’s promotion of cooking with beef fat as opposed to seed oils, as if advocating the use of animal fat could never by anything but a conspiracy theory. The article is a classic example of pre-emptive stigmatization. As Heying relates:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s view on fats is is about bucking convention, not promoting health. And so let’s just start with that with that subtitle, which again, the author, you know, may not have anything to do with the title of the subtitle, but I’ve seen this critique before. It’s, oh, he’s just a contrarian. And we’ve been called just contrarians. And it’s one of actually the most insipid and wrong and ridiculous contentions that actual scientists can be can be slapped with.
