‘Quebec Privilege Undermining House of Commons’

Structural and systemic favouritism towards Quebec is an ongoing weakness of our governmental system that has now resulted in the current coalition government ‘guaranteeing’ Quebec’s percentage of the House of Commons, regardless of how small Quebec’s share of the Canadian population becomes. The so-called ‘Conservative’ Party ‘Opposition’ is going along with this travesty of representative democracy…

‘Secret Political Party Nominations’

“…Increasingly, the party leadership wants to be able to control who the candidate is, as opposed to having the local party members making that decision.”

“…There’s a mostly secretive process going on in the background that will determine who is going to speak for the residents of the five Thompson and Okanagan ridings in the region in the next federal parliament and most voters will have no part in that process. Constituents can only vote for the candidate the Party has chosen.

‘Pierre Trudeau on Legal Equality’

It’s too bad that Trudeau Junior didn’t bother to read what his father wrote:

“It is no small matter to know whether we are going to live in a society in which personal rights, individual rights, take precedence over collective rights. It is no minor question of secondary importance to know whether we are going to live in a society in which all citizens are equal before the law and before the State itself…

“When each citizen is not equal to all other citizens in the state, we are faced with a dictatorship which arranges citizens in a hierarchy according to their beliefs…

‘The ‘Indigenization’ of British Columbia Law’

Canadian governments are busy establishing a legal framework where Canadian law becomes subservient to the United Nations ‘ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples’, regardless of the wishes of the Canadian people. British Columbia – along with the federal government — are foolishly leading the way in this undermining of Canadian democracy:

“Overlooked during the NDP’s end-of-session rush to expedite its legislative agenda was a small bill with far-reaching implications. ‘Bill 29’ ran a mere three pages, including cover and explanatory notes.

“It constituted one of the first substantive moves by the government to amend provincial laws to incorporate the ‘principles’ of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

‘Race Rights Added To Citizenship Oath’

We stand strongly opposed to any ‘rights’ based on race or ethnicity:

I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada, including the Constitution, which recognizes and affirms the Aboriginal and treaty rights of ‘First Nations’, Inuit and Métis Peoples, and fulfill my duties as a Canadian citizen.”

New Canadians are now swearing a revised oath of citizenship that recognizes ‘Indigenous’ {sic, Canadian Aboriginals are ‘Indigenous’ to Mongolia and Siberia} ‘rights’…

‘Canada Is NOT A Bilingual Country: Suppressing English Again In Quebec’

Canada is NOT a bilingual country.

Quebec language Bigots are suppressing English again, with the support of the federal ‘Liberal’ Party government…and the ‘Conservative’ Party Opposition:

As Quebec’s contentious language law heads closer to adoption, the province’s business community is growing increasingly anxious about what it could mean for their bottom line, with some companies considering leaving entirely.

‘Canada’s Unaccountable Political Elite’

Other countries have public intellectuals; Canada has Supreme Court judges. It is well-known that no decision of public importance is final unless the Nine have given their opinion. But even off the bench, they occupy an outsized place in the “national conversation”. They are the subject of excruciating puff pieces in newspapers; their extra-judicial utterances are reported as oracular wisdom.

‘Bilingualism Is Bad Politics’

“…The ‘de facto’ rule that any person seeking the leadership of a Canadian political party — and thus the prime ministership — must be fluent in English and French is proving a particularly visible glass ceiling… Some rare but useful public pushback on the role of bilingualism in Canadian politics has been the result. 

“The conservative publisher Ken Whyte wrote a masterful and much-shared essay in the ‘Globe and Mail’ {See below}…coolly debunking the conventional wisdom that speaking French provides an invaluable electoral edge to any would-be prime minister. What actually matters, Whyte noted, is whether the candidate is from Quebec.  Continue reading “‘Bilingualism Is Bad Politics’”

‘Time To Ditch The Guilt’

For all Canadians who are carrying around guilt about what their ancestors — and not themselves personally — did to the Aboriginal peoples, please read this and then just let the guilt wash away: 

“It was not a contest between Indian cultures and European civilization, but rather one between Indian cultures and all the civilizations of the Old World taken together. Because the peoples of Europe, Asia and Africa had been in contact with each other for millennia, European civilization had incorporated within itself the advances of other civilizations past and present, including Babylonian astronomy, Jewish monotheism, Greek philosophy, Roman law, Indian mathematics (the decimal system), and Chinese technology (printing, gunpowder, the compass).  Continue reading “‘Time To Ditch The Guilt’”

‘Federal Parties Support French-Language Bigotry’

“It’s true that the proportion of people speaking French as a mother tongue has fallen… But that’s true for English, too—the real change is an increase in immigration and in mother tongues that are neither English nor French.”
{And the ‘Globalist’ federal government is not interested in doing anything about that…}

“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was briefly tossed the current political football of language laws… And while his answer may not have been exactly what Quebec Premier François Legault wanted to hear—unlike what new ‘Conservative’ {Party} leader Erin O’Toole has said—it suggested that Ottawa is considering giving French some extra legal protection within Quebec.  Continue reading “‘Federal Parties Support French-Language Bigotry’”
