Is it time to call an end to The Lions?

I'm wondering how many people are actually active on here. We have a few regular posters and some who like articles quite regularly but I think the majority of our subscribers seldom or never visit.

The Lions Locals was set up as a continuation after Danielle Smith closed down Danielle Smith Locals after becoming politically vulnerable.

For a time we maintained connections but lately this seems to have faded away to where there's only a small remnant active, and I suspect many have drifted off to other sites.

Vote to see the results, and give us your thoughts in the comments below.

As of Saturday morning, 42 people have replied, Meaning that at least 42 people visited in the last several days. The vast majority feel that the site has value and, interestingly, those who said that the site has outlived its usefulness visit and participate anyhow.

42 people visiting over a few days seems to justify the effort that members put into posting and offer encouragment. The favorable comments are much appreciated.

46 replies (latest count) in a few days isn't too bad. Indicates quite a few of us are here often, actually.

What I wonder about is the people who voted that the site has outlived its usefulness but are here just the same. Also I wonder how many people came and read the message and didn't vote. When I visualize 45 people in a room, that seems like a respectable crowd for a small get together.

Now this is an interesting point. Tucker Carlson says “They’re not really globalists”

“They're not really globalists are they? Because they're not doing this to China and Africa and the Middle East. They're not saying those nations need to invite a lot of people from different parts of the world only one side it's anti western”

“They're saying that there's something about a majority white Christian country that's inherently threatening and we're going to destroy it and that's kind of it is exactly what they've done, it's around the world they did that in France, in UK in Germany and now in Canada. You've got basically Russia left and of course that's the country they hate most

So it is a tell like they're not screaming at Chairman Xi to let in a bunch of people from Nigeria, it's like not even on the table. They're not even demanding Japan do that.

It’s just Canada, UK, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the US and that's it.”

I can't forget Canada froze bank accounts of protesters. Now, singing O Canada feels hollow

I lost hope that Central Canada will change and believe Alberta must find its own way
