My 12-year-old depends on me financially. Spends everything I earn. Credit card maxed out. 🤷♂️ Now she wants to build a high-speed railway 🚂 from her bedroom to the kitchen. She’s said she’s going to pay her friends to build it to save money, and there’s a good chance she’ll get some of that money back off her friends, but she will probably keep that to herself. I said we can’t afford it, and even though the idea is nice there’s five of us living in the house and she’s the only one who’ll be able to use it. So even though I said “no” she’s going to the bank 🏦 , borrowing in my name, and telling me I’ll have to pay it off later. And apparently I don’t get a say. Sound familiar? #cdnpoli #onpoli #canada



“Christian nationalism” doesn’t kill, @jamestalarico You know what does kill? > Abortion > Radical gender ideology > Communism > Open borders In other words, everything you support.

Bill C-9 passed its 3rd reading. Canada is an anti-Christian nation. It will protect secularism and oppose Christianity. Like communist nations of the past, Christianity just gets in the way of their godless agenda. In this, we rejoice. Christ has called us to testify to truth.

One of the problems is that when you wait for years to have kids, trying to accumulate enough wealth so that you can raise children “comfortably” or whatever, your marriage becomes frail and brittle. You haven’t allowed yourselves to be tested. You haven’t met any resistance. The union atrophies. You get bored. Then one serious challenge comes along and you fall apart. You weren’t ready for it. My wife and I have been together 15 years, started out broke. Six kids and a decade and a half later, we’ve been tried and tested a million times. We’ve been through the fire together. Problems come along and we deal with them. It’s nothing we haven’t seen before. Now we have the confidence of people who’ve been through the wringer. We have a sense of shared experience and shared achievement. We built this life together. We both belong here. That’s the great benefit of getting married and starting a family young. Get in on the ground floor with each other. Start at the bottom hand in hand.


This is the worst story I've ever heard. It's also perfectly emblematic of the decline of western civilization. Open the floodgates to the foreign hordes. Watch helplessly as they rape our wives and children. Then euthanize their victims so that they won't go around complaining about it.

This kind of stuff would actually have some cache if we lived in a healthy civilization where antisocial behaviors, especially promiscuity were heavily stigmatized, rather than something idealized and celebrated by a significant percentage of the population. If you lived in a world where a girl who whored herself out to dozens of random men was treated with the same degree of scorn society at large today only reserves for things like racism (and apparently those who shame promiscuous women), then you could say "Jesus has redeemed me from this great shame. I am free." But when there is no shame whatsoever, and stigma is actually only directed at those who disapprove of women being an unwalled garden, then there really isn't any liberation from shame since there wasn't much to begin with, and instead you have established a career path for online prostitutes to retire into once their looks and attendant earnings begin to diminish. In this particular case (and there are countless others) the reformed prostitute transitions from gaining attention from sex to gaining attention from her redemption from selling sex. She still operates within the attention economy under a different function. That is a major part of the reaction here. It is a more acute corollary to the declining celebrity who has a radical conversion to Christianity. His star has diminished, but now he has a new market that will cherish him as the broader public once did. Instead of making money in a Hollywood that has rejected him, he can now make movies for Angel Studios. Wise pastoral counsel in both cases would be to advise getting out of the public eye for the sake of their faith. Their ability to garner attention is their "great riches." If they are unwilling to set aside those great riches, they, like the rich, young ruler, will go away sorrowful. Addressing these concerns and weighing them in our particular societal disfunction is not "denying the power of God in the gospel." Certainly not more than claiming the prodigal son, in the moment he decides to return home, is not an ideal candidate for your daughter to marry.


Imagine telling George Washington that we forfeited the country he fought and bled to found, handing it to over to hordes of Third World invaders who we let vote in our elections, because of a “parliamentarian.” He would have had you arrested for treason.



This is a satanic temple, not a church

They’re being taught to hate America

Do you think Matt Walsh is right that the Liberals have made Canada poorer by squandering our resource wealth?

“ Why, that would be tantamount to saying he could break the law, even commit crimes, with impunity!”

Call me a racist all you want. I'm not going to allow my culture to be assimilated by a bunch of low IQ immigrants from 3rd world shithole countries. 27% of people living in this country were not born here, and the fact that so many are OK with that statistic tells me everything I need to know about many folks. Suicidal empathy is real.
