A Letter to the Left To those who still believe, from someone who once did too. I need to tell you something, and I need you to hear me out before you decide what I am. I was one of you. Not in some distant, theoretical way. I was deeply one of you. I marched. I shared the posts. I believed, with total conviction, that the progressive vision of the world was not only morally correct but self-evidently so. Anyone who disagreed was ignorant or malicious. I had Trump Derangement Syndrome, but then, I complained about all politicians. I couldn’t see it was a case of choosing ‘the best of’. I had no middle ground. And that’s what finally shook me awake: the realisation that I had stopped allowing for middle ground. My thinking had become entirely black and white. I had radicalised—slowly, invisibly—without even noticing it was happening to me. The moment of clarity didn’t arrive dramatically. It crept in through the small, uncomfortable questions I started asking myself. Why was I so certain? Why did I feel such fury toward anyone who hesitated, even slightly, on positions I held? When had I stopped thinking and started simply reacting? When I tried to share these doubts with friends and family—people I loved, people on my side—I wasn’t met with conversation. I was met with a wall. A similar wall to what I had previously put up for anyone daring to question me and my positions. “No discussion.” “You’ve gone right-wing.” Lies were constructed about my motives. It didn’t matter that I was asking questions in good faith. The act of questioning was itself the crime. That is not normal. A political movement that forbids its own members from thinking critically is not a movement for justice. It’s something else entirely. And it worried me then. It worries me more now. Do you remember the 1980s and 1990s? I do. We had done real, meaningful work on race relations. Most people in the West genuinely did not care about the colour of your skin. Were things perfect? Of course not. But we were heading somewhere good. We were building something. And then we pulled it apart. We decided that every small, clumsy human interaction was a “microaggression.” We reframed the past as one hundred percent negative, as though nothing decent had ever been achieved. We became so obsessed with naming every tiny slight that we forgot what real progress looked like. We unstitched the good work and called it enlightenment. Once I began looking with honest eyes, the contradictions were everywhere. We decided blackface was a mortal sin. But woman face? That was brave and fabulous. We insisted entire societies must be restructured to accommodate the preferences of fractions of a percent of the population, and if you questioned the pace or method, you were a bigot, evil or fascist. We pursued reckonings for the crimes of Western civilisation—slavery, church child abuse, colonisation—and those reckonings were important. But we stopped there. Only the West was held to account. The trans-Atlantic slave trade was a horror, yes. But it was the British who ended it. Meanwhile, the Islamic slave trade ran for centuries, and pockets of it persist to this day. Where is that reckoning? Who is demanding it? We created a world in which nobody is allowed to simply settle and build a life. Indigenous people must perpetually identify as victims. Everyone of European descent must perpetually identify as perpetrators—for events centuries old. Yet nobody seems interested in acknowledging that white Westerners were not history’s only colonisers, or that colonisation, in softer forms, is happening right now. Mass immigration into Western countries is a form of soft colonisation. That sentence will make some of you furious. But consider: why is it only European and other Western nations being pressured to “diversify”? No one bags Nigeria or China or Latin American nations for a lack of diversity and not promoting the idea of multiculturalism. Only white-majority countries are told their cultures must be diluted or they are racist. Wanting to preserve the native peoples and cultures of European nations is not xenophobia. It is a right that in the 21st century we wish to grant to every non-white culture on earth. But apparently it’s a sin to want it or expect it for ourselves. And when it comes specifically to Islamic immigration into Western democracies, there are countless videos—not propaganda, but Muslims speaking plainly—describing a vision in which the world becomes Islamic, in which Sharia law replaces secular governance, in which their growing numbers translate to growing power. These are not conspiracy theories. These are now publicly stated intentions. History tells us what happens when these numbers reach a tipping point: the freedoms we take for granted begin to erode. Some know this because they are ex-Muslims. Some know because they are Westerners who converted to Islam and found it wanting. Frightening, even. Expressing that concern is not Islamophobia. It is pattern recognition. Being concerned about how trans medicine affects young people is not transphobic. Asking how trans ideology impacts women’s rights and the gay and lesbian community is not bigotry. These are legitimate questions that deserve honest answers, not silencing. So much of what I had taken for granted on the left collapsed under the lightest touch of common sense. I had to accept something I’d been resisting for years: the world will never be perfect. It won’t. And if you spend your one and only life railing against the world because it refuses to become your utopia, you will lose. Worse, you will drag the rest of us down with you. Constantly tearing society apart because it cannot meet an impossible standard doesn’t make you righteous. It makes you destructive. What I did instead was start asking a different question: ‘What’s the optimal way to improve this?’ Not achieve perfection (#impossible). Not burn it all down and rebuild a utopia from the ashes (also impossible). Just better. What specifically needs improving, and how do we do it? That shift—from ideological fury to practical problem-solving—changed everything for me. So those are the things that drove me away from the left. Not toward the right, but away from what the left has become: reactive, unquestioning, hostile to dissent, and increasingly detached from reality. I wasn’t changed by the right, I was changed by the left. My left. If the West is going to survive—and I think it’s that serious at this point—the left has to start thinking again. Questioning again. Demanding evidence instead of demanding obedience. So I’m asking you—begging you, really—to think. Consider that an alternate view might not be hatred. Consider that you may have been wrong about some things. I was. That’s not a confession of weakness. Admitting a mistake and choosing a different path is braver than marching further down a road you already suspect is leading somewhere dark. You are not a bad person for questioning. You are not a traitor for thinking. The people who tell you otherwise are not protecting you. They are controlling you. That’s all I ask. Just think. Please.

Mark Carney spent his entire life promoting the carbon tax. Now he’s trying to scam Canadians out of billions and to do it he’s put a whole crew together. It could be the biggest con job in Canadian history. Only YOU can stop it!

Wow. Watch the whole thing. Conservative MP @MelissaLantsman made the most chill inducing speech I have seen in Canadian parliament. "Canadians just want to wake up from this woke nightmare and bring back the Canada they used to know."

The fact that America overwhelmingly looked past felonies and an impeachment, should tell you just how much people aren’t aligned with the direction the @DNC has taken. Millions of voters who do not like this man, or approve of his behavior, still felt he was the better option than what you offered up. Washington is an ugly jungle, and the people were ok with sending a savage in there because he talked about things they actually cared about: inflation, immigration, and foreign policy. They are not hiring him to be a Sunday school teacher. You ran mainly on abortion rights. What else? Other than Trump is a bad man of course. Drop the gender fluidity, pronouns, and tax payer funded reassignment surgery for transgender inmates nonsense. Full stop. You demand that we accept there are 7143 genders and defining a woman is impossible. The best you could come up with is “a woman is someone who identifies as a woman.” You asked us to not believe our own eyes when we watched a biological male (verified) boxer from Algeria beat up women and be awarded a gold medal for it. Those who even question the fairness of it, you label bigots. Go Woke Go Broke is real. People are truly fed up with Ivy League elites talking about the working class as though they are animals that couldn’t survive without them. You speak on behalf of a people uninterested with your perception that latino and latina was somehow offensive, and needed to be replaced by “latinx.” Obama won cause because when he ran, he focused on things people care about: healthcare and the economy. Drop every aspect of woke ideology or you will never win again.

Jasper National Park has been my backyard and my playground for 35 years. There isn't a trail in the park that I haven't hiked. During those 35 years I've seen a lot of mismanagement, but nothing like I've witnessed during the last decade. I've ranted about it it all my videos, talked about it online, discussed it with other users and even written to the staff. The devastation that's happening right before our eyes was totally predictable. We all saw the hillsides covered in dead, beetle infested pines. Forest are living eco-systems that go through life and death cycles. The fires are natural, but didn't have to be this dramatic. Park managers should have conducted some controlled burns and cleared dead forests. As usual, everyone is full of prayers. That's not what we need. We need to abandon this woke ideology that has infiltrated all our institutions. We need heads to roll after this one. Don't praise the fire chief for his efforts. His primary job is to prevent forest fires, not put them out. Don't celebrate the the park's superintendent who wanted to rename mountains instead of maintaining a healthy eco system. Blame the bureaucrates who worried about wheelchair accessible trails instead of fire access roads. Criticize the politicians who sent billions to the Ukraine meat grinder instead of buying water bombers. I'm beginning to think this really is by design. Ottawa doesn't want Alberta to have anything nice.

@ppargolfer @privategolfacs But it caps your score at net double. So a 10 hurts the same as a 6. (We play with no negative points… eagle 4, birdie 3, par 2, bogey 1, double or worse 0. ) Keeps the high variance players closer to the pack. I like it

🔥 Tom Woods Torches the 'Experts' Who Pushed 'Reckless & Insane' COVID Lockdowns "During the COVID years, we heard plenty of state propaganda about social distancing and masks and why your kids couldn't go to the playground. What we absolutely did not hear were stories about people who suffered under these restrictions, and there are more of them than we can possibly count. Readers of my email newsletter wrote to me every day about families pitted against themselves, about devastated careers, about missed surgeries, about loved ones forced to die alone, about isolation and grief and frustration and sadness and incredulity that any of this could be happening in the first place. We never got to hear those stories. They weren't allowed. If you complained about the lockdowns, that was because you were a selfish person who wanted to get a haircut and then k*ll your grandmother. People were shamed into keeping silent about what was happening to them. Prudent and essential. More like reckless and insane." @ThomasEWoods @DrJBhattacharya
