The Liberal War On English Canada

A recent payout of $10.5 million dollars to convicted terrorist Omar Khadr represents a watershed moment in the history of political correctness in Canada. As endorsed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mr. Khadr has hit the jackpot and can now settle into a life of luxury upon Canadian soil. Not bad for a terrorist convicted of murder.

Feigning Democracy: Liberalism In Justin Trudeau’s Canada

Terminating An Identity: Liberalism and The Anglo-Canadian Community

For as long as nations have existed, so too have wars between nations. Additionally, battles within nations—commonly referred to as civil wars— have resulted in the demise of many countries throughout history.

Liberal-Socialism And The Erosion Of Christian Canada

In the world of politics, as with many situations in life, making promises often leads to unexpected results. Nowhere is this more apparent than when considering the post-election behaviour of Canada’s ruling Liberal government.

English Canada: Journey To The Back Of The Bus

Canada is a nation founded upon journeys. From the arrival of our earliest migrants, to the construction of our trans-national railway, to those who boarded the rail lines to settle our western provinces, ours is a nation founded by travellers from distant lands.

No Silver Lining: The Black Cloud Behind Justin Trudeau’s “Sunny Ways”

For those born and raised in Canada, it is with shock and amazement that we come to understand our current Liberal government’s social agenda for the future of our nation.

Guessing Game: The Unfathomable World Of Canada’s Liberal Government

As with most fifty-somethings born and raised in Canada, I grew up in a world previous to the age of the internet. In terms of screen time, our choices were limited to watching T.V. or going to the local movie theatre. During this time period— basically the decade of the 1970s— television entertainment consisted mainly of cop shows, sit-coms and game shows.

Odd Man Out: The Singular Political Stylings Of Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau is a man of the people. This in itself, cannot be questioned. What can be questioned, however, is whether or not our current Prime Minister is a man of the Canadian people.

Culture Wars: The Battle For The Soul Of Canada

The recent election of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ushered in not only a new era of politics within Canada, but more broadly speaking, a new era within Canadian society as a whole. Interestingly, the roots of this era began with another Prime Minister by the name of Trudeau—Justin’s father, Pierre. In basic terms, it was former Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau who brought into existence the post-modern era of multicultural Canada. At the time, few Canadians appeared to object— not that they had any choice in the matter. Simply put, Trudeau Sr. made a decision on behalf of all Canadians to eradicate our nation’s bi-cultural English and French identity, and replace it with what he termed “multiculturalism within a bi-lingual framework.”

End Game: Justin Trudeau And The Cultural Transformation Of Canada

“There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada. Those qualities are what make us the first post-nation state.” So says Justin Trudeau, freshly-minted Prime Minister of Canada. What are Canadians to make of this curious proclamation? Does his post-modern vision happen to include an endorsement or approval from the Canadian people? If the name is Trudeau, and the nation is Canada, nobody should be surprised that it does not.

Like Father, Like Son : Globalist Visions Of Justin & Pierre Trudeau

Generally, the concept of respect is a two-way street. From a political standpoint, governments must maintain a degree of respect for their citizens in order to receive respect in return. Unfortunately, a reciprocal relationship of this nature is very much lacking within contemporary Canadian politics. In fact, a lack of respect is presently emanating from a rather questionable source— the Prime Minister of Canada.

Compassion As A Weapon: Politicizing The Syrian Refugee Crisis

The current refugee crisis in the Middle East is filled with contention, however few issues are as contentious as which nations are responsible for accepting Syrian refugees into their homelands.

Manufacturing Responsibility: Canada And The Syrian Refugee Crisis

While responsibility for the Syrian refugee crisis is a complex international issue, the subject of Canada’s responsibility for the crisis is straight-forward — our nation is not responsible. There is, however, little doubt that many within our society are at odds with this statement. Canada is by and large a compassionate country, and it is therefore reasonable to expect Canadians to support a substantial intake of those affected by the war in Syria.

Syrian refugee crisis

"As Amnesty International recently pointed out, the "six Gulf countries -- Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain -- have offered zero resettlement places to Syrian refugees." This claim was echoed by Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch" In regards to the Syrian refugee crisis, it is important to note that the Gulf States of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, , Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain have done nothing to assist Syrian refugees, or any other refugees within their geographic proximity.

Equality or Eradication: The Future of “Multicultural” Canada

In 1988, ​official multiculturalism was entrenched into ​the Canadian constitution, seventeen years after former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau introduced the concept to the Canadian public.

City For Sale: Vancouver, Foreign Money, And The Demise Of Home Affordability

There is Canada, and there is Vancouver. For people unfamiliar with Western Canada’s largest city, it may appear Vancouver is indeed one of our country’s major urban centres— a vital, integral component of our overall nationhood. They couldn’t be more misinformed. Yes, geographically-speaking, Vancouver is part of Canada. Beyond this, however, lies a truth seldom recognized—namely, that our fair city is an aberration within Canadian society.

Charter Challenge: Civil Liberties And The Erosion Of Canadian Culture

Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, founded by former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, is the most transformative piece of legislation in modern Canadian history Entrenched into our constitution in 1982, the Charter’s transformative nature is found not in its declaration of personal liberty and equality, but rather in how the legislation is utilized, and by whom. Surely, few Canadians oppose laws which guarantee individual rights such as freedom of speech, or freedom of assembly. The extension of these rights to all Canadians, regardless of race or religion, is very likely acceptable to the average Canadian— whether a recent arrival to our shores, or a descendent of those who farmed our prairie lands at the turn of the 20th century.
