I will be consistent and relentless in defending a vision of Canada united across different communities by shared patriotism. It was an honour to address this year's Ahmadiyya Muslim Jalsa Salana 2026 and speak about our shared values of patriotism, faith, family, and freedom.









For young men, there used to be “a ton of societal pressure on you to make something of yourself.” That’s one of many positive culture norms that we’ve now lost, says author Rob Henderson (@robkhenderson). Today, “some guys are going to be ambitious and hardworking regardless of what people tell them,” Henderson says. But for many others, “if there's no judgment, no norm, no expectation,” they will sink into a state of inertia or pursue “hedonistic pleasure” and “short-term, fleeting gratification.” He says this is one of many examples of how the loss of cultural norms has impacted human flourishing. To discuss this, Henderson joins Inside Policy Talks. Henderson is a psychologist and U.S. Air Force veteran who is best known for coining the term “luxury beliefs.” He is the author of Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class. On the podcast, he tells Peter Copeland (@CopelanPeter), acting director of domestic policy at MLI, that in past generations cultural norms served to promote healthy lifestyle choices while actively stigmatizing poor ones – like drugs and gambling. That stigma was serving a useful function. But Henderson says there are strategies individuals can use to overcome the lack of guidance today’s culture provides about how to live a good life. He suggests that a wise place to start is by actively seeking out peer groups that promote positive norms. Watch the full episode: youtu.be/po2NPXFgP2Y

Why do so many Hollywood and media accounts keep locking the replies? If you believe in what you’re posting, let people respond.

@CanCorruptmon @VJsapps You are not a nationalist. Real nationalists understand the history and defend the traditions of their country. You are trying to turn this country into something that it never was.
