Woke Canada

Canada, Trudough’s post national state with no core values is the world’s wokest country. Consider this:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be spending $110 million in taxpayer funding on anti-racism and DEI consultants to fight what the Liberals consider the endemic problem of racism at the heart of Canadian society.

The minister of diversity, inclusion and persons with disabilities, (we actually have a minister for this??)Kamal Khera, revealed details during a press conference on Saturday. Saturday? Everyone is sleeping in!

I hope they start with themselves because this government is probably the most racist in all of our history.

Whitey Anglo  need not apply. I worked in Ottawa for 12 years. Unilingual Anglos are discriminated against at every level of government. All of the important positions are held by French Canadians. Ottawa is a proxy for the Province of Quebec. They run Canada.


Why would anyone send their children to this Canadian Univershity:

The Centre for Indegogy at Wilfred Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada offers a two-day module: What on earth is Indegogy? A know what Pedagogy is but Indeegogy? Turns out:

Participants will be introduced and consider how to teach decolonizing knowledge from a conscious and methodological approach.

Participants will begin to recognize how imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, and racism underpin colonization.

Build an understanding of a systemic and structural approach to colonization toward facilitating decolonizing knowledge.

Participants will be engaged in circle methodology to envision decolonial practices.

Read the part above about systemic racism. De colonization is code for a racist approach to undermine White Canadians of Anglo Saxon heritage. How racist can you get? 

Canada is slipping into toxic insanity.

By the way, Sir Wilfred Laurier was one of the most racist Prime Ministers that Canada ever had. Worse than John A but he is glorified. Why? Because he was a Liberal. John A was a Conservative.

Bath Spa University Students' Union

Where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, BLM, Black Panther salute.

Panther Fist | Black panther art, Black panther fist, Black panther tattoo

No difference from this:

The desired end state is the same………………HATRED.


Leadership in Canada on full display by Canada’s ex Green Party Leader Elizabeth May:

Treason anyone?


Apparently gardening is racist, so no more gardening allowed.

Would you rather see this?

Or this:

A home surrounded by a lawn made of wildflowers.

No Mow May or June, or July, August and September

That house will soon be sold as a fire sale.

Woke-ism equates to insanity. I guess Canada’s anti racism strategy will address gardens in our cities.


Canadian Shame

Never mind LGBTQ groups a-broad, we’re being shafted royally by our Prime Minister. I have only one question for him…WHY!

Trudeau government to give $1.7 million in funding for LGBTQ groups abroad…WHY?

Canadian anti-Israel protesters has absolutely no original thought. Only after about 3 weeks of continuous anti-Israel protest of the GAZA war across US Univershity camp-whusses do Canadian professional protesters wake up to the fact and establish its own across Canada Univershity camp-whuss protests. Here at McMaster:

And, believe it or not, this one gets community support. If you support HAMAS, you support terror. Simple.

Canada church burning

Remember when Trudough accused all Canadians of that most heinous crime of genocide? That was the day that I no longer considered myself a Canadian under this narcissistic, virtual signaling ball-less leader. His understanding of Christian church burning was another blow to my sense of justice and rule of law in this country.

Three years after reports of indigenous mass graves triggered the torching or vandalism of 85-plus churches, no graves have been found.

His denouncement of antisemitism and support for Islam ensures a favorable outcome from two voting blocks in Canada. He lacks backbone and has no leadership ability.

From Rex Murphy who died this week at the age of 77. Nat Post article:

After eight years as prime minister, Trudeau is presented with a singular, historic and essential moral choice to make. He has a moment
to make clear to the world what that choice is. The choice: to stand with democratic Israel, to rebut the insolent lies about genocide and apartheid, to name Hamas for the total sadistic villain it is. To scream to the world condemning the defilement, rape and murder of Israeli woman and girls. And to dismiss the moronic and morally unstable students on Canadian campuses and their infatuation with a terrorist organization. And beyond all to furiously condemn antisemitism and have no truck at all with those who harbour that diseased practice of the world’s most hateful losers.

Do you think he’ll make that choice, those choices? Not very likely. There are plastic bags to ban, military men’s rooms to be stocked with tampons, gay monuments to plan. All these greatly surpass in Trudeau‘s world some distant friction in the history Middle East and the minor discomfits.

Our Prime Minister. You gets what you votes for.

Say It Ain’t So

Only in Canada you say? Shity. Canada is the wokest country on the planet:

I used to play this as a kid! The city that fun forgot.

And this as well.

” There is no life like it.” Thank God for that.

Our military today…under our illustrious leader, Trudough.

It has begun:

(Ontario) NDP MPPs walk out of Queen’s Park in defiance of keffiyeh ban.

The new Univershity anthem: HAMAS, HAMAS – you bet your Ahsss!

I see your 1.5 kids infidel, but I raise you 10!  Canadian Sharia Law here I come. In this world of ours, evil is good and good is evil!


The “Islamophobia” alerts are really flashing red in Australia.

This started with a Muslim teen stabbing a bishop in Sydney, Australia. That led to the arrests of 7 Muslim teens. It turned out that they wanted to go on a rampage killing Jews.

And now a white teen 16-year-old convert to Islam stabbed a man in the back in Perth and was shot dead by police.

The authorities and the media are assuring us that he was “mentally unstable”, but there seems to be a particular outbreak of “mental instability” involving Muslim teens and knives.

Surely this is a pattern that only an ‘Islamophobe’ would notice.

Spineless Divershity In Canada

So, divershity is our strength is it?

Salma Zahid speaking to journalists.

Now we know exactly where this Canadian government of ours stands on the Israeli-HAMAS war. And she will take a carton of Timmy’s with her to give to the Palestinian people.

And this in London:

More Than 200,000 Pro-Palestinian Protestors March Through London Chanting Support for Houthi Rebel Attacks

HAMAS has to be eradicated. My belief is that this terror group has probably killed the remaining hostages. If you support HAMAS and the Palestinians then you support terror.

Divershity in Canada:


Spinelessness is Canada’s strength:

Canada Watching Situation In Haiti, But Best Solution Will Come From ...

Last week, Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly ( our very own valley girl) colluded on a statement outlining Canada’s position on South Africa launching a genocide claim against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

In one breath they say that they do not support South Africa’s claim that Israel is guilty of genocide against the Palestinian people. But on the other hand (or side of their mouths) they support the International Court of Justice and any ruling that they may come to with respect to South Africa’s claim.

It is time to get out of the UN.


But then again, it should be expected in Canada with a voting population like we have:

Six Pack Joe Canadian.

“The danger to Canada is not Justin Trudeau, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with being Prime Minister. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Trudeau government than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their prime minister. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Trudeau, who is a mere symptom of what ails Canada. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The country can survive a Trudeau, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their Prime minister.” This from a Czech newspaper article.

“Hey, as long as I have my six pack of Molson Canadian, Doritos and Hockey Night in Canada I am one happy camper.” This from the average voting age Canadian male.

“His (Trudeau) hair is sooo dreamy.” This from the average voting age female.

Canada is doomed unless we wake up to the folly of our current leadership in this country.


Typical:

Last year, Trudeau’s former advisor and long time pal Gerald Butts blamed climate change for the forest fires that were started by arsonists across Canada.

Butts, along with several Liberal MPs, regularly connects the forest fires in Canada to man-made climate change. 

One Twitter user asked Butts to comment on the fact that a man in Alberta was arrested last month for intentionally starting at least 10 fires around Cold Lake.

Butts responded by calling the user a “climate denier.”

Eco-terrorists.

We are being deceived big time.

The Rideau Canal: A Marvel of Engineering

How builders of the Rideau Canal lost their lives to malaria | TVO.org

The genesis of the Rideau Canal: A poem by John Morrison.

The Rideau Canal

The curtain does fall so majestic and proud

Such a natural wonder, so gracious a shroud

As if a powerful train of glory descends

As a continuous fall at the Outaouais end

 

A fire alights from the south it did spread

To the north like a plague through its heart it has bled

With a mawkish like cry for freedom and joy

But freedom’s best chance was a fraudulent ploy

 

From a flicker of flame to a firestorm bred

Death escalates through a life cycle of dread

And taming this shrew with its penchant for blood

Was a foolish man’s bait for poor Madison’s club

 

Yet the fire would spread in its harrowing scene

From a spark it would roar with a devilish scream

From Niagara on east, to a Forty Mile Creek

To a nondescript farm and a Chateauguay sneak

 

From Queenstown to Lundy, Detroit and the Thames

The Boxer and Enterprise, surrender of Maine

Through Ohio and Plattsburg, to a Moravian town

The war it did rage for Miss Liberty’s crown

 

Cities would fall and the towns they would burn

First Newark then York; it was Washington’s turn

War’s firebrand eyes thrust farther to yield

And finally burn in an Orleans field

 

What came but a draw in this foolish man’s quest

For power and glory are such meaningless guests

Whatever the gain from the lives that were lost

For the hawkish bent men who lied at great cost

 

And the curtain still fell, so majestic and proud

As if sensing the chaos, so soothing its sound

Like the rapturous strains of a torrent, transcends

To emerge as a call at the Outaouais end

***

The years fell away and the anger did wane

Rush-Baggot had calmed such a petulant strain

An American age brought prosperity’s peace

As a confidant pace of change was unleashed

 

But the land to the north so upright and proud

Was paranoid still to the south’s freedom sound

A country that cried for security’s calm

Yet stands all alone ‘gainst a threatening psalm

 

But this land full of lakes and rivers and streams

Was a natural course for a military dream

For fear set in stride a magnificent quest

To build a canal that was strategically blessed

 

While the mighty St Laurence was a natural draw

It was fraught with real danger from its rapid rock falls

And upstream it ran from a thunderous roar

Too close to the south with its threatening core

 

And the Ottawa ran to St Laurence’s call

To strike from the north and a western landfall

An historical route that opened the west

Where the traders would meet at the curtain for rest

 

Yet two rivers did run from a common high ground

To the south and the north from Lake Rideau their sound

From the shallows and falls through the marshes and swamps

From King’s town to Wright’s town, two rivers as one

 

To build a canal through this wilderness screams

Of a madness and curse of the military’s dream

A task so immense, so daunting and brash

That only the British could fathom this task

 

But the British did find a man of the Corp

A Wellington man from the Peninsular War

A man who had held the Canadian Shield

So right for this task with indefatigable zeal

 

John By was a Colonel and a leader of men

Ahead of his time and a genius, well bred

An engineer’s man with a passionate streak

For simplicity’s beauty with its functional speak

 

With orders to build a navigable course

From the Outaouais south to St Laurence’s source

To rise from a bay named the Entrance – way crept

Up flight after flight, like some nautical step

 

A plan was developed and contracts were signed

Engineering so simple with symmetrical lines

Pure genius at work with a heavenly hand

To guide and instruct a magnanimous man

 

With Drummond and Redpath, Phillips, MacKay

Canadian contractors, strong men of their day

These artists of stone were men of their word

So forthright and loyal to the Colonel’s accord

 

The sappers and miners and mason’s stones lay

Stonecutters and woodmen, all of the trades

For comfort, their spirit; their love of the crown

Romantic and colourful, these men of the realm

 

But the marvelous work that was soon to unfold

Was dependent upon the poor labourer’s code

The back wrenching work to clear out the land

And dig such a ditch with just spades in their hands

 

Such men from hard times, forever were cursed

To fight for survival and work through their thirst

Through backbreaking strains as their calloused hands scream

As they toiled and they toiled for this military dream

 

The Frenchmen held sway with their skill and savvy

So noble these men and their role as navvies

Independent of mind with a will to succeed

Just pride in their work and their songs and their deeds

 

But an Irishman’s fate to arrive at this place

To rescue one’s life from some wretched like fate

The scourge of the earth in the Englishman’s eye

Forgotten at home, they severed all ties

 

For a pestilence spread to drive them afar

From an emerald isle to this devil’s back yard

Though beauty may rest on the eye from beyond

A hellish nightmare was reality’s song

 

Just rags on their backs with their wives by their side

With children so weak from starvation and pride

A thousand would fall from a dengueish like hue

And die from this work’s laborious flu

 

Poor brothers would cry as their graves had been marked

So blind to the danger and the peril from sparks

As the powder was set with a magical link

Their lives were extinguished from the death blast’s cruel drink

 

And the lakes and the streams, swift water, rock falls

Were captured and tamed by this engineer’s call

Magnificent feats what By had achieved

In this harsh, hellish wilderness was hard to conceive

 

The entrance way blessed by a protestant prayer

The first stone was set by John Franklin with care

Not mindful as yet that his greatness was cast

To die in the north from the Arctic’s cold blast

 

The curse of Hog’s Back; an Isthmus scourge

The tranquility of Chaffey’s; Long Island was purged

At Burritt’s and Black, these rapids were tamed

And Merrickville’s beauty, a religious refrain

 

With names like Poonamalie, with its cedar incense

An Indian aura in a wilderness sense

Opinicon’s names and a Cranberry fog

The curse of the labourer to die in this bog

 

The dam at the falls known locally as Jones

Is a testament still to its magnificent stone

Block upon block in a crescent like stance

Like a rampart of genius or an engineer’s dance

 

The work underway, six years to progress

The locks were completed and the dams were well dressed

Through steamy hot summers, through sweat and death’s fear

Through winter’s ice jams; hell’s nightmare those years

 

The locks and the dams, wastewater and weirs

The cut at the entrance, eight steps to the piers

The breadth of this work remains unfathomable, sealed

As a masterpiece set in the Canadian Shield

***

Building the Rideau Canal - The Canadian Encyclopedia

 

The threat from the south was all but contained

For the status quo boundary was all that was gained

From the firestorm set in those years long ago

Extinguished for good as a friendship would grow

 

Poor tragedy’s mark on this cornerstone lay

On the heart of a man who held the Rideau at bay

Called back by a King who questioned his deed

A question of funds from some zealot to heed

 

An inquiry would set the tone through the years

To diminish By’s feats; he was ignored by his peers

His spirit would die from his countrymen’s chill

And not from the bog or the Isthmus ills

 

Yet his legacy flows for our nation to see

A wonderment still, a magnificent deed

To balance such beauty with a functional stream

Through a Canadian wilderness with just minimal means

 

But the jewel in the crown of this engineer’s quest

Was not the canal or his technical best

For a town had been born in the Outaouais scene

In this land full of lakes and rivers and streams

 

By the Barracks Hill shanty near the Sapper’s stone bend

A magnificent tower of peace would ascend

From a lower town swamp to an upper town’s view

A great city would grow with great values imbued

 

For this capital’s crown of achievement remains

From the peaceful green flow of the Rideau, contained

The seeds of a city and a national theme

To build a great country with the freedom to dream

 

And the curtain still falls, so majestic and proud

Like a sentinel’s call or a passionate bow

For the genius who toiled on the Outaouais scene

And left such a mark with this beautiful stream
