Breaking The Iron Triangle of Elite Hate

Canada's Laurentian Consensus Cries Uncle

And just like that, Canada’s storied Liberal Party, in power for one hundred years, the country's self-described "natural governing party," is done. Before the ruling this week, Pierre Polievre’s Conservatives were projected to win 222 seats, according to Angus Reid's January 21st poll, with the Liberals at 53 seats. Trudeau’s partner-in-crime, the fetching champagne socialist Jagmeet Singh, he of the mauve headwraps and Rolex watch? Twenty-five seats. With the decision, handed down by a federal judge, that Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act illegally, to end the truckers’ protest in Ottawa and at border crossings in Ontario and Alberta, Canada’s ruling elite has given up. They cannot continue the fiction any longer.

To illustrate how ridiculous Canada’s public life is, the findings by the RCMP and government were entirely driven by a government-funded Non-Governmental Organization, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, or CAHN. The group was used in a perfect illustration of the Iron Triangle of government and bureaucratic action. The government funds an anti-hate group, which immediately identifies opposition to the government, labels it as hate, feeds it to the police which proceeds to investigate.

It is pathetic when you have 5 running for mayor and 24 for city Councillor and you can't come up with 8 you would vote for for Councillor. I pass by if they are a civil servant or don't know the responsibility of the different levels of government. This is Red Deer. I have been waffling on Mayor but have finally made up my mind. Two former city Councillors are HELL NO's and hope to see their asses in rear view mirror.

Interesting article

Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! Your author struggled mightily this morning with an update-gone-wrong, but heroically managed to cobble together a delicious post anyway. Your roundup today includes: CBS shakeup sees free-speech champion installed as chief editor while depressed Democrats stare in stunned shock at the sinking wreckage of corporate media dominance; newly disclosed documents reveal Biden spied on sitting U.S. senators; fallout begins; and Florida leads the way back to crosswalk sanity.

🌍 WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY 🌍

🔥🔥🔥
It might be the greatest media revenge arc outside of literature. Yesterday, the AP ran a story headlined, “Bari Weiss is the new editor-in-chief of CBS News after Paramount buys her website.” Weiss is gay, married to a woman, a classic liberal (now registered independent), with all sorts of progressive opinions— but the left hates her. She’s an anti-woke, pro-free speech, old-timey liberal. Let’s connect some dots!
