Bordman: China joins the UN’s Inhuman Rights Council

Bordman: This is living proof that trusting the UN to arbitrate any aspect of Canadian life, whether it deals with human rights, the environment or immigration is a dangerous game. Not only is the UN biased and nonsensical, but it is also immoral.

Will Justin Trudeau turn Canada into a “basic dictatorship”?

The new emergency measures act proposed by the Liberal government seemed to touch on both of these issues in an unsettling way. The initial bill would have granted Finance Minister Bill Morneau the power to bypass parliament and tax and spend at will all the way up until the end of 2021.

COVID-19 gun sale spike proves the Liberals’ gun ban is absurd

The gun bans and regulations that the Liberals have been pushing for since the 2019 federal election have been made even more ridiculous and misguided since the spike in sales occurred due to COVID19 pandemic.

COVID-19 Hoarding Shows a Lack of Community Cohesion

While the young are less averse to suffering the virus’ worst outcomes, there is a commitment all Canadians share to protect the vulnerable. Hyper individualism coupled by a carefree subjective attitude can procure potentially fatal outcomes.

Stop Buying Toilet Paper!

I’m no expert, but I am pretty sure owning more toilet paper doesn’t lower your chances of getting COVID19, especially if, in a blind toilet paper fuelled panic, you gather with hoards of other people and rub up against one another to buy massive amounts of products you likely already have enough of.

CPC Grassroots Candidates Moving Towards Verification Despite Elitist Rules

In 2017 the rules only required candidates to raise $100,000 and get 300 CPC member’s signatures and they had half a year to do it. By lowering the timeframe to raise money to 10 weeks, tripling the donation goal, and multiplying the signatures goal by 10, there is no way of interpreting the CPC’s new rules as anything but a way of keeping out the grassroots candidates.

Marilyn Gladu Fails on Immigration

The number in favour of reducing current immigration levels has increased from 2018. Two years ago, iPolitics’ Anna Desmarais discussed an Angus Reid poll that asked 1,500 Canadian adults to complete an online survey asking their opinions on immigration. The study found 49% of respondents, marginally less than half, wanted to reduce immigration. Migrant families were especially unpopular amongst those surveyed as they have a lower probability of contributing to Canada’s economy.

Conservatives have to stop catering to Eastern Elites

The Problem I have With Environmentalists

I can already predict some environmentalists are going to stop reading this article after the first paragraph and immediately judge me because they have already figured I do not fit into their belief system. For those who are continuing to read that’s great because it is quite dangerous that someone can be that stuck in a belief system that they would be afraid to read someone else’s point of view because they aren’t fitting into the mold of what the environmentalist movement has become. Afraid to read different views is a sign of an insecure belief system. So good on you for continuing reading even if you disagree with me.

Erin O’Toole: True Blue or Baby Blue Conservative?

O’Toole had abstained from the compelled speech bill for gender pronouns, Bill C-16, and has recently declared that he wouldn’t touch the law. He had also voted in favour of an NDP precursor to C-16 in 2011, Bill C-389, and then again split from the Harper CPC parliamentary majority to vote for another version of the same bill, Bill C-279.
