Why Conservatism Failed to Stop a World Gone Mad
Turning Points in History Require Revolutionary Thinking

Why the Conservative Party of Canada is no solution, and in fact in the past helped sow the seeds of the current disaster, and why Poilievre is definitely not the visionary leader we need.

A snippet:"
The only solution is for a rogue outsider who has been critical of the climate hoax from day one of his political career to muscle in on the party, as Trump did in the United States. Even then, Trump only succeeded because he was self-funded (which Canada’s election system doesn’t allow), and he already had prominent name-recognition so media slurs didn’t have the same effect as they would on an unknown outsider. The only hope in Canada to challenge these kinds of long-entrenched post-WWII beliefs through a new “rebellious” party — but that’s a hard nut to crack in a tightly managed system (from media to election committees to the donor class) that instinctively closes ranks to keep any destabilizing upstart anti-globalist party out.

“Biggest Transnational Crime Group on Earth”: Why Canada Must Break Free From China

A group of top national security experts is sounding the alarm: Canada’s relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has crossed from economic engagement into a full-blown democratic threat.

At a Dec. 6 forum in Toronto, former RCMP proceeds-of-crime director Garry Clement called the CCP “the biggest transnational organized crime group ever seen,” warning that Beijing is actively infiltrating Canada’s political, business, and cultural institutions. Through the United Front Work Department, the CCP co-opts elites, business leaders, community organizations, and media outlets—while intimidating and surveilling dissidents “on a daily basis.”

Clement also linked Beijing to the fentanyl crisis, saying the CCP could shut down precursor shipments to Canada “if they really wanted to,” but instead allows the flow as a form of “disruptive warfare,” echoing the tactics of the Opium Wars....
