An RAF cadet has been suspended from an officer training course after saying that Islam is the 'greatest threat to Britain'. He was 'immediately removed' from the course and is under investigation. A shocking decision. Young men are entitled to their opinions. If he had said racism or the far-right, would he have been suspended as swiftly? I doubt it. It is no secret that I have immense concerns around the creeping islamification of Britain, and the demographic changes facing our country. Restore Britain is the only party willing to actually do anything about it. If that young man wants my support, I urge him to get in touch.

@Trappedinspayce @jkenney How have peoples’ psyches been so infected with the need to feel their political tribe is winning points on social media that they couldn’t care less that their families are being put in actual danger in real life.The county is deteriorating rapidly. Open your goddamn eyes.

@jkenney Piss off Kenney. You may have a valid point, but nobody cares what you think. You have zero credibility. And have fun with your CPC leadership ambitions. Nobody from Alberta will vote for you.

Another day, another mind blowing example of how Canada’s criminal justice system is a shambles. This guy tried to kill several Canadian soldiers, clearly motivated by religious extremism. He is still assessed as posing “a significant threat to the safety of the public.” But the Ontario Review Board (ORB) has him living in the community, with his schizophrenic mother. And now they have given him a three week pass to travel to Saudi Arabia and Somalia. What could possibly go wrong? As a rule, quasi-judicial tribunals like the ORB are supposed to operate independently of the elected government. But there’s a reason why ORB officials are appointed by the elected provincial Cabinet: to ensure ultimate democratic accountability. In Canada, it’s what we call responsible government. IMO, this ORB decision so egregiously violates the public interest, an example should be made. Every member of the panel responsible for this decision should be fired and replaced by people who understand that their primary duty is to protect public safety. And the Ontario PC government, which has appointed ORB members for nearly a decade, should do a serious review of how these members got appointed in the first place. nationalpost.com/news/canada/ay…

Imagine having a political leader seriously suggesting we abandon trade with the largest economy in the world--our closest neighbour, lowest-cost partner, and biggest customer. Canada sends ~75% of its exports to the U.S. For Alberta it's closer to ~85–90%. That’s not a minor relationship you can “pivot” away from overnight--it’s the backbone of our economy. You don’t strengthen a country by picking fights with your primary customer. You don’t create jobs by making it harder to sell what we produce. Albertans understand this. We rely on access to U.S. markets, and we have no interest in reckless strategies that gamble with our livelihoods. Strong countries don’t act out of impulse. They act in their economic self-interest. That’s what an independent Alberta will do. Vote yes on Oct. 19. #AlbertaIndependence

Why are Canada, the UK, and Australia, despite being thousands of kilometers apart, all collapsing in the same way?

Here are some ways in which the world has gotten better.

@TrueNorthStr0ng @francispouliot_ I always heard Canadians were polite but every Canadian political debate I see online devolves into name-calling instantly. Less evidence supplied and good faith arguments than even Americans talking politics. No wonder the country is so screwed up- there is no civil dialogue

@francispouliot_ Hey moron. The trade dependence is a weakness. Is it some sort of requirement that you have to be a moron to be a Conservative?

We share a 9000km border with the greatest military empire and richest country the world has ever seen. We have been peaceful allies with them for 200 years. We speak the same language and overall same cultures and religions. And this fucktard thinks this is a "weakness" ?!

Here’s Mark Carney’s illusion: he wants to keep Canadians in a state of fear and panic to distract from all of his costly failures at home. The Carney Liberals have given us the worst food inflation, the worst household debt, the worst housing costs, and the only shrinking economy in the G7. He has not repealed a single anti-development law, approved a single pipeline, and housing construction is actually falling. To top it all off, he’s doubled the deficit Justin Trudeau left behind. These are all Liberal-made problems that Carney made worse. And as for the U.S., Mark Carney’s talk of a rupture with the customer that buys two-thirds of our goods is not a plan. He has not negotiated a single new Free Trade Agreement with any country on earth. The meetings, photo ops, and non-binding memoranda are all an illusion. Mark Carney’s agenda is about enriching a small group of well-connected Liberal elites like him, who get corporate handouts of tax dollars and use tax havens to avoid paying the same bills they are charging you. If we want to be affordable at home, safe at home, and strong at home we must make real change at home. That’s why Conservatives are fighting for an end to wasteful Liberal spending. Let us cut corporate welfare, consultants, foreign aid, and handouts to fake refugees. Unblock our resources. Unleash our entrepreneurs. Approve pipelines and major projects today. Incentivize municipalities to build homes. Cut the gas taxes on farmers, truckers, and steelmakers. Stop the money-printing and inflationary deficits that drive up the cost of everything. That’s the only way we will be strong at home and unbreakable abroad.

And here we go. Right on time. Mark Carney addresses Canada shortly after bribing his way to a majority government. The message is more of the same: America is dangerous, Canada must seek new partners. He calls it Canada Strong. He even evokes the War of 1812 in comparison to Canada's current "struggle" against Trump. But there are a few big problems with his whole Canada Strong plan—or as I like to call it, "Elbows Upper." First, Canada has never been a sovereign nation. We were established as a British colony. As Britain's global influence faded after World War II, we attached ourselves to the United States who was now the new superpower, but stayed a member of the Commonwealth to hedge our bets in case the US experiment ever failed. We are and always have been a beneficiary nation who attaches itself to whatever new powers arise. We're doing it now with China, and that's the entire reason Mark Carney was installed as Liberal leader and later as our Prime Minister. The global elites believe China is the future, and now Mark Carney has arrived as an agent of the elites to attach the Canadian parasite to a new host. Second, the United States buys over 80% of our exports, and the reason for that is simple: BECAUSE WE SHARE A BORDER. This means transport costs are almost non-existent, not to mention the fact that we share an almost identical culture. This idea that we can simply leave our trade relationship with the US in favor of the EU and China is INSANE. The EU and China don't buy anything from us, and do you know why? BECAUSE WE ARE SEPARATED BY THOUSANDS OF MILES OF OCEAN. China can export its goods to the world at a low price because their economy is built around slave labor. Canada's isn't. So who in Europe is going to buy Canadian manufactured products that cost 10 - 100x more than products manufactured in China? NOBODY. Do you know why Europe buys oil and gas from Russia? Not because they love Putin. It's because Russia is right next door. It costs them nothing to move the oil and gas around Europe. Do you know why China buys oil and gas from Iran? IT'S FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. Whether you like the United States or not, it doesn't matter. We are chained to them geographically. We have to trade with them in order for Canada to maintain some form of economic viability. We need the American military to defend us. We have been too careless for too long and we won't survive without them. The tariffs could have been avoided. The requests from the Trump administration were clear and reasonable. But Canada can't clean itself up because it's been so thoroughly corrupted, to begin that process would expose the rot. Canada can't purge China from our country because China owns us and Carney and the Liberals and Carney's finance pals in Toronto and Montreal. So this is what we have now: an unelected government steering us away from our own best interests and into the communo-fascist abyss. Elbows up, retards.

#Ontario’s police departments have forever fudged crime figures. Years back. Old woman. Push over, bag stolen. I reported as a robbery. I reported it that way because IT WAS A FUCKING ROBBERY! Argument ensued. CID and SSgt said it was a theft because I couldn’t be sure she hadn’t fallen during the snatch of the bag. I refused to change classification to a theft. Next day came into work, it was shown as a theft. And I was locked out the report. That’s how you make society look safer in Canada. #onpoli #canpoli

So good.

It was my 27th time testifying in Ottawa yesterday, but my first before the House Affairs Committee. I explained what happened with La Presse, and how my 25-year collaboration with the paper was halted following personal comments I made about how public funding may be influencing editorial decisions across the country. I never once criticized La Presse itself—yet here we are. In Ottawa, several witnesses, including Peter Menzies, former editor of the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun, expressed similar concerns. Something needs to change. The public is not being properly informed about critical issues affecting agriculture, food security, affordability, and more. No media would report on this today, for obvious reasons. Very few media outlets examined how counter-tariffs impacted food prices. It took the U.S. Ambassador to Canada—an American—to acknowledge that Canada was in breach of CUSMA, not our own media. Prime Minister Mark Carney eliminated those counter-tariffs shortly afterward. It also took three full days before anyone asked where the $14 billion would come from to fund the grocery benefit program. Media are not to blame—they are doing their best under tremendous pressure. Public funding for media is not inherently the problem. The issue is that funding private media has become partisan, and that, in my view, makes a significant difference. After 25 years, I can say something has changed—dramatically—and it is not good for our democracy.

1 million new government workers. Insane.

@MarcNixon24 Not a serious country

The HOUSE ERUPTS Liberal MP Wayne Long: "that Conservative Leader and House Leader questioning our Prime Minister's economic education and experience is like a third line beer league hockey player questioning Conor McGregor's hockey skills"

@apoliticaleye @JakeWSimons Petty legalism is the downfall of western society. This is an invasion. We let them block streets and shout in support of H@mas r@pists. We keep importing them even though they disproportionately r@pe and murder locals and now you want to follow the rules to complain? Wake up

The difference being, whatever your views on the endless protests in London, is this. Those protesters in London do not throw bottles and bricks at police officers. If they did then the cops there would use their riot equipment, which they do carry and display. Unless of course those now being so critical of Surrey police's response at having those bottles and bricks thrown at them was to put it on, don't mind a few cops receiving serious head injuries, to sate community and media sensitivities. Sensitivities driven by ill informed misunderstanding of how rape investigations actually progress and not how a mob think they should.

Hang on, so we DO have riot police! After years of Gaza rallies, I thought they'd been retired. Turns out they still exist, but only when people march against the gang rape of a woman outside a church in Epsom.

@marcf999 @AnjneyMidha You can dream all you want but nation states aren’t going away any generation soon. They just caught CCP smuggling bioweapons into US. Huang should be pressured on this

‘Childish loser’ This is what happens when you discuss the nonsense of nation states when supranational tech meant to propel us into world abundance shows up. Same reason the UFOs appeared after trinity @ Los alamos: we are given tech and we use it for nation state warfaring. Monkeys throwing poop at each other are not allowed to progress beyond their host planet.

this was painful to watch

@rwlesq At the same time, automation is improving efficiency of core operations requiring less and less people, which allows this to happen while maintaining profits. Corps are under govt pressure not to lay off so the cycle perpetuates.

@rwlesq There are ostensible reasons for all sorts of wasteful activities. Regulatory compliance is a huge one. Govt keeps minting new regulations requiring new bureaucrat enforcers and new compliance staff at corps. Risk being regulated may not even exist anymore. Voila, adult daycare

Even after the death of its author, "Bullshit Jobs" remains a cancer on the discourse. It was perhaps the most incurious book I have ever read (strictly speaking, I only read the first third). Companies are not "subsidizing" anyone. If they are hiring someone to do something, there is almost certainly a reason beyond "we wanted to give this random person money." If you can't figure out why, it is probably a problem with you.

@gercekci_V @Devon_Eriksen_ This is why you don’t invite the maladaptive-pro-social-wiring people (fka women) to the debate

he literally said a wife-murderer was better. 🤦🏼‍♀️ no idiot. philosophically speaking, once a murderer has a higher probability to endanger society later. we know this from: children who physically harm/k*ll cats/pets tend to become human k*llers. a sociopath is a sociopath. there is no leveling!!!

Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong. Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names". For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy. In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system". But they're not. They can't be the justice system. The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve. Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you? No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system. The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe. If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse. In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite. Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat. We all understand this. We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act. Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to. We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again. And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again. The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you. Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute. It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.
