The Democrat Party’s America:    Victor Davis Hanson – Rubio and Europe.    Trumpism is working.    Prayer.

Conman Carney’s Canada:    The Carney government.    Diversity is our strength tourism.    Land of stupid.

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s CBC:    Hunting for Jews.    Church lefties.    Paul Joseph Watson – All they do is lie.    Carney’s Muslim values?    From the Man Cave.

And at the Bee.

Keir Starmer’s Britain

Freespeechers Great Moments In Socialism 5 Comments

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and the Magna Carta is a bird cage liner.

In a recent interview, Cleese observed that the government’s new speech standards would classify many citizens, including himself, as presumptive criminals for criticizing certain policies. He observed that ”As I am an Islamosceptic, I’m now worried that the Labour government may categorise me as a terrorist…”

The government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer has continued its headlong plunge into the criminalization of speech. The guidelines include a section on cultural nationalism, stating that such views are now the subject of government crackdowns. To even argue that Western culture is under threat from mass migration or a lack of integration by certain groups is being treated as a dangerous ideology.

Cleese responded by saying, “I’m clearly a terrorist, so I’m afraid they are going to have to arrest me.”

The tragedy is that this is no wicked Monty Python joke. Cleese has every reason to be concerned.

An SDA regular from Ontario corresponds with me regularly. Here’s a little missive he sent from México and gave me permission to share:

We are spending a few weeks in the sun again. By my wife’s count, this our 7th trip to Mexico. Over that thirty-plus years there was always a pronounced Canadian presence at our Mexican vacation spots — and so it is this time as well. But apparently, according to virtually every Canadian we run into, things are very different this year.

We are told that there has been a huge increase in Canadians on the Mayan Riviera this year because, wait for it, “they’re not going to Florida anymore”. This news is invariably delivered with a smug happiness, as “we sure showed him, eh?”

We have heard this dozens of times, and we respond to it with a few quick follow-up questions. “Is this your first time here?” “Oh no, we’ve been coming here for five (or twenty) years”. “So, did you vacation in Florida last year?” “No.” The smarter ones see the contradiction between fact and their narrative and change the subject or, get sour and terminate the conversation. The others try a different tack: asserting that it’s the Quebec traffic that’s waaaay up — at which point I invite them to speculate how much of that might be due to the Quebecois abandonment of Cuba over the past year or so.

A week or so ago, my wife was explaining where our home town was to a poolside Karen who loudly exclaimed – Americans within earshot – that “Any place in Canada is a great place to be.” I told her we had friends in Brampton who would disagree. She has (mercifully) ignored us ever since.

Can Canadian Conservatives Find a Backbone?

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.

One Step Forward….

As someone who’s had to deal with Diesel Exhaust Fluid, I find these latest steps very encouraging. It remains to be seen, however, what the actual impact will be, considering that California is unlikely to drop its diesel emission standards. My best guess: your new tractor or truck will still come equipped for DEF, but you’ll be able to easily switch it off. That means you’ll still have to pay for hardware that you’ll never use.

It is important to note that the decision also removes the federal EV mandate for Class 8 trucks, meaning it is no longer federally required, and that diesel equipment will remain part of fleet operations. Therefore, other rules are still moving forward. The 2027 NOx emissions standards remain in place, and manufacturers have already developed engines designed to meet those requirements. State regulations also continue to play a role. For instance, California and other states maintain their own emissions policies.

The Dirty Little Secret Of Democrat Governance

Nobody needs to stay in Virginia.

After nearly a decade in Virginia, Boeing announced on Wednesday that it is moving its Defense, Space & Security headquarters out of the state back to St. Louis. This comes just weeks after new Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger took office, replacing Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.[…]

The departure comes just over a month after Spanberger took office as Virginia’s governor. Though she campaigned as a pragmatic centrist, critics have said her day-one actions depict a very different approach.

In a flurry of executive orders after her inauguration, the Democrat rescinded Youngkin’s 287(g) order that instituted cooperation with ICE, reprioritized diversity, equity and inclusion, and seized on broad affordability initiatives, including housing regulation reviews that align with progressive approaches to zoning.

And nobody needs to play in Chicago.

Family, taking care of family.

A sweetheart deal with the Kielburger clan to rent a building for a women’s shelter has seen millions spent but no shelter being opened yet in Cabbagetown.

The building at 233 Carlton St., the first headquarters for Free the Children and WE Charity, has been under city control since Jan. 1, 2020. Despite spending $11 million on renovations — with millions more to go — and $2.2 million in rent to the Kielburgers, the shelter still isn’t open and isn’t expected to be open until the end of this year.

Is the federal NDP a political party or a suicide pact?

… the all-anglophone field stumbled through November’s French debate in Montreal. Interim leader Don Davies even jokingly called the Franglais-filled evening a morale booster for the Bloc Québécois.

Activist and filmmaker Avi Lewis comes into the debate as the clear frontrunner…. He’s also driven much of the conversation with progressive proposals like a public option for groceries, national wealth tax for the top one per cent of Canadians and a so-called Green New Deal to transition fossil-fuel workers to sustainable industries.
