Happy #WoldMilkDay! ow.ly/MCJo50S5BiN

This afternoon, I presented my annual World Autism Month statement in the Canadian House of Commons as Jaden looked on from the gallery. Please take a minute to watch and share. 🙂 "April is World Autism Month and now 26 years since my son Jaden was diagnosed. Since then, I've embarked on an unanticipated lifetime of learning experiences. For example, I've learned at home to always check for finger lines in the butter dish... or cupcakes... or just food, generally. I've learned that an urgent 'ba-ba-ba-ba-ba' in the car often means an iPhone left behind or a missed Google Maps turn. More importantly, I've learned that we tend to wrongly divide the world into people who give help and people who need help. In reality, as human beings, we are - at various times - helpers or helped, sometimes both at once. Deciphering what Jaden needs or wants is often incredibly hard. But what I learn in the process – waiting on him, paying attention to his non-verbal communication, and assuming he has something to say – these lessons help me in every human interaction I have. And right now, finding ways to better understand one another is something our world needs more than anything else."

My common sense Conservative Bill #C385 will increase livestock safety in transport and allow flexibility for drivers so they aren't faced with the choice of going over their allotted hours or stopping and risking animal health. Sign here to support: martinshieldsbowriver.ca/support-bill-c…

You can be pro-environment while rejecting the climate cult. Clean air. Clean water. Preserving national parks. In fact the Earth’s surface area is covered with more plant life today than a century ago - because, yes, CO2 is plant food & surface temperatures are a little higher.

The Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) is the most aggressive assault against free speech in modern Canadian history. If passed into law, the Act will expose you, along with every other Canadian, to being prosecuted by the Canadian Human Rights Commission over anything you say that someone else might view as “hateful.” Unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, most of them woke and progressive activists, will decide if your comment is “hateful” in their subjective view. The Online Harms Act will give the Canadian Human Rights Commission teeth again. You could be ordered to pay the federal government $50,000, plus up to $20,000 to a “victim” who felt offended by what you said. This $70,000 maximum does not include any legal costs you may incur to defend yourself. The complainant, however, would experience no such risk. It costs nothing to make a complaint. If the complaint is dismissed, then the person who filed it is not on the hook for anything. Before section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act was repealed, Canada’s quasi-judicial human rights commissions were notorious for trampling on Canadians’ free speech rights. Their kangaroo courts were exempt from the rules of evidence and other legal guardrails that govern real courts in Canada. The conviction rate for those accused of “hateful” speech was close to 100 percent. If the Online Harms Act becomes law, the Canadian Human Rights Commission will not even need to identify a victim of your supposedly “hateful” speech.  The Commission will be able to prosecute you on the basis of an anonymous complaint so that you cannot face your accuser, ask questions of your accuser, or even know the name or identity of your accuser. In an advanced democracy under the rule of law, a citizen has the right to know who their accuser is, to face their accuser, and to question their accuser (or to have their lawyer question their accuser). The Online Harms Act would take away these basic rights from Canadians and expose every citizen to the risk of a Canadian Human Rights Commission prosecution based on anonymous complaints. In a Canadian Human Rights Commission prosecution, the person accusing you does not need to prove that they suffered any loss or damage as a result of your speech; they merely need to assert that you communicated “hate speech.”  Unelected, unaccountable, woke bureaucrats will rely on their own subjective opinions to determine your guilt or innocence. The Online Harms Act would enable thousands of activists to file human rights complaints against the speech of people they disagree with. Even if many of these complaints are dismissed, good Canadians will still be forced to spend time and money defending themselves. Meanwhile, activists making the complaints will pay nothing. Your next salty YouTube comment or X post could get you hauled before the Canadian Human Rights Commission and ordered to pay tens of thousands of dollars. The Online Harms Act would also create a Digital Safety Commission with powers to police dozens of new regulations created by the federal cabinet. Without any input from Parliament, the federal cabinet will create new rules to censor social media services.  These politicians will also determine the penalties for breaking those rules. The Digital Safety Commission will investigate, prosecute and punish the providers of social media services who fail to comply with new censorship measures.

We hold these truths to be self evident, meat is good for you, plant based isn’t better, animal agriculture isn’t the problem, global organizations trying to tear down our freedoms and control what we eat are bad.

Butter has been demonized for decades. The experts told us it “clogged arteries”. But it’s actually health-promoting for a large percentage of people. I’ll cover who should be concerned. And for the rest of us, I’ll cover the healthiest kind of butter. THREAD

If you are going to support abortion, you should at least know what an abortion is. For most pro-abortion students, ignorance is bliss I guess.
