Democrat Socialism – Brexit Means Exit

“Democratic Socialism” Is a Contradiction in Terms Why are so many young Americans suddenly calling themselves democratic socialists? I think many of them simply want to distinguish themselves from socialists who might have supported dictatorial regimes such as the former USSR and Maoist China or who, today, might support North Korea. They want to signal that, for them, political liberty is just as important as, say, economic justice. But are the concepts of democracy and socialism even compatible? No. While socialism’s goals may be lofty, its means are inherently at odds with democracy. In the end, “democratic socialism” makes...

Kenny Talks Separation – Quebec and Equalization Money

Jason Kenney outlines ‘fair deal’ and warns Ottawa of Alberta separatist sentiment Jason Kenney warned Ottawa that one reason he’s fighting hard for a “fair deal” and promising a potential referendum is because separatist sentiment in Alberta could be capitalized on in the future. The United Conservative leader said he’d never get behind separation, and that he’s fighting for Alberta in a “united Canada,” but, in Red Deer on Saturday, he reiterated that he’d give Albertans an equalization referendum vote in 2021 if a pipeline to tidewater isn’t built. https://www.thestar.com/edmonton/2019/03/23/jason-kenney-outlines-fair-deal-and-warns-ottawa-of-alberta-separatist-sentiment.html The new Alberta alienation: Resenting East and West ‘We...

Political Benefits for MPs

Dozens of MPs also collecting government pensions A CBC analysis of the ethics filings of Canada’s 338 MPs found that 36 MPs reported receiving pension income on top of their salaries. Nearly 20 per cent of those MPs were getting pensions from either the federal government or the Canadian Armed Forces. Most of the 36 MPs are getting pensions from various levels of government or public service jobs. Only two MPs are receiving pensions from private sector companies: New Democrat Scott Duvall, who gets a pension from steel producer ArcelorMittal Dofasco, and Conservative Peter Kent, 74, who gets a...

Mueller & Liberal Delusions – Levi Strauss Dislikes Gun Owners

Special Counsel Investigation Finds No Trump Campaign Collusion with Russia Attorney General William Barr announced to Congress in a letter on Sunday that the Special Counsel investigation found no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, vindicating President Trump’s long-stated assertions. Barr quoted from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report directly in a letter to Congress, saying, “[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” He later again quoted Mueller’s report, saying, “The evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an...

Peter Downing from Prairie Freedom talks to Brian

Prairie Freedom The West will never be equally represented Federal election campaigners will always appease those in the East simply because it is strategic. With 34 seats in Alberta & 14 seats in Saskatchewan, and 14 seats in Manitoba our overall impact on swaying the election is minimal. Those running for office need only to focus within Ontario with 121 seats & Quebec with 78 seats to win the election and govern the entire country. Taking into account the massive increase in immigration projections, and the fact that an overwhelming majority of immigrants settle within Ontario & Quebec, the...

Shakespeare & Starlings – No Reasonable Grounds

The Invasive Species We Can Blame On Shakespeare There are 200 million European starlings in North America, and they are a menace If you live in North America, you probably recognize European starlings, those little black birds with white polka dots that chirp and chatter and, in the winter, hang out in flocks of thousands. There are 200 million of these birds on the continent, and they can be found as far north as Alaska and as far south as Mexico. Numerous though they are, starlings are actually non-native invasive species. And we can blame Shakespeare for their arrival...

Capitalism and Democracy – Newsom Defies Voters

Capitalism and Democracy One immediate problem we face discussing democracy and capitalism is that both terms have different meanings for different people. For some people “capitalism” is synonymous with “corporatism” or “crony capitalism,” which combines nominally private enterprises with a highly interventionist political system—indeed, something like the U.S. system today. Likewise, “democracy” for some is synonymous with social and economic equality. For them, no democracy can exist when some people live in poverty, some cannot read, and others live in mansions or attend Ivy League schools. For my purposes, however, democracy will be defined simply as “the people rule,”...

Concealed Carry Saves Lives – Arm Teachers

Armed Ohio Resident Faces Two Alleged Home Invaders, Shoots One If you have a concern about being face-to-face with a criminal, you need a gun. That reality smacked an Ohio homeowner right in the face when he confronted two alleged burglars Sunday. https://bearingarms.com/tom-k/2019/02/21/armed-ohio-resident-faces-two-home-invaders-shoots-one/ Private Security Stops Mass Shooting At Alabama Night Club It’s long been argued that the solution to preventing mass shootings is the presence of more guns. There’s a reason people like me want armed teachers in our schools, for example. However, others think having more guns means having more problems. Tell that to all the people...

Trudeau Incompetent or Corrupt? Removal Possible?

Liberals make Canada worldwide embarrassment The Liberals and this Trudeau government with their “holier than thou” mantra have become a worldwide embarrassment to Canada.
