B.C. politician fined $750,000 for his views on trans issues in schools

Two stories of a civilization in decline. Regrettably, we're talking about Canada, of course

Two stories unfolding at the same time show where the West is headed on free speech — and which countries are still capable of telling the difference between words and crimes.

In the United States, British political activist Tommy Robinson was recently admitted after receiving a rare visa waiver. That matters. Robinson has prior convictions in the United Kingdom, and the U.S. is famously ruthless about border enforcement. Deportations are routine. Waivers like this are not.

The message is clear: American authorities no longer accept the British government’s treatment of political dissidents at face value. When speech is the alleged crime, the UK justice system no longer commands automatic trust.

America, at least for now, still understands that speech is not violence.

Canada does not.

In British Columbia, former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld has been ordered to pay $750,000 by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal for his public statements on transgender ideology in schools.

Neufeld didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t harass anyone. He didn’t assault anyone.

As a school trustee, his job was to speak — especially about sex education. He opposed SOGI 123 and the teaching of radical gender ideology to young children. Those views were public. Voters knew them. Voters elected him anyway.

That counted for nothing.

The tribunal ruled that his speech created a “poisoned” work environment. In other words, disagreement is now poison. Words are now harm.

No police force would lay charges for this. No prosecutor would touch it. No real court would uphold it. That’s why the case went to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal — a kangaroo court where free speech does not exist in any meaningful sense.

The tribunal ordered $750,000 to be distributed by the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association to between 45 and 163 teachers. No one had to

New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government

"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”

The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.

The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...

This guy says it all I fear….

Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.

Canada’s economy is stalling badly.

We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.

Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.

And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.

Why does GDP matter?

Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.

The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.

The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:

Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
