Who are we?

Almost three weeks ago we started The Lions as a spinoff from Danielle Smith Locals. It seemed that many were unable to access that group and indications were that it might be coming to an end, at least as a public site.

At any rate, here are the current stats for your consideration. It seems we are approaching the $1,000 (US$) mark so I guess we should decide what to do with it or let it accumulate. I suggested Rebel News' freedom fighters defenders funding, but have not looked further. There were other suggestions.

"So when the Prime Minister stands in front of Canadians, the purpose should be simple: tell us what you've done for Canada-and answer our questions.

"We didn't hire him to censor us.
"We didn't hire him to control us.
"We didn't hire him to hide information from us.

"Carney accepted the job with a salary.
Canadians did not agree to unlimited perks, extravagant spending, or $2.5 million in 26 overseas travel expenses.

"TAXPAYER money is not his money.

"We didn't hire him to do what he's been ...

The libs on FB still slamming this. Proof that ya can’t fix dumb in Voters……

Don’t miss reading this one folks!

I’m not going to wade into the weeds of the current trade war between Canada and U.S. President Donald Trump, because hundreds of articles from across virtually every newspaper in Canada (and some in the United States) have already dealt with it. My interest is in the political implications.
To quote the title of a famous book about South Africa: Cry the Beloved Country, Canada is in a huge mess; everyone now sees that. When I grew up in the 1950s and ’60s, that was not the case. The old “Dominion of Canada” had a fairly solid national identity. It was, for all its faults, a serious country.
Not anymore. Over the following half-century it has become, under a left-liberal political hegemony, a “protection racket,” that benefits its academic, cultural, economic and intellectual elites, who dominate the CBC, universities, film production and so on, who could not ...
