I have a friend whose father is waiting on a hip replacement. Welcome to universal socialized healthcare, where waiting lists get longer as lives get shorter. After waiting months, his father who is also a friend of mine, was finally supposed to get his surgery yesterday. That didn’t happen. I want to let my friend […]
There are two rumors circulating. One is that the government will seize children and remove them from the Freedom Convoy, the other is that police are ready to step in and attack the protesters. https://tnc.news/2022/02/09/ottawa-police-call-child-services-have-not-ruled-out-removing-truckers-children%EF%BF%BC/ Separately both of these things are very disturbing.

No arrests here- just fuel seizure pic.twitter.com/4robjohvir — […]
In political circles the narrative is that the Freedom Convoy protesters hold unacceptable views. This is a great sound bite for the news but doesn’t really explain what is and is not acceptable. As a public service I have accumulated statements from politicians and media to compile a list of acceptable and unacceptable beliefs. Acceptable […]
Trevor just posted a comment that is profound in its truth and simplicity. What exactly do the freedom convoy counter protesters want? They obviously do not want their rights back. They are protesting in support of tyranny. According to the latest data they are also protesting to ensure that everyone gets to die from COVID. […]
Donald Trump was an outsider. He did not accumulate his fortune by peddling political favors.
