50 Ways to Lose Your Leader….

Published

7 minute read

(with apologies to Paul Simon)

I loved the Michele Rempel commentary on why she has 8 reasons that there will be a Fall election in Canada and agree whole heartedly (https://www.todayville.com/8-reasons-an-alberta-mp-says-there-will-be-a-federal-election-this-fall/) , but want to add a few more reasons WHY a Trudeau-less (and Conservative ) Canadian government is far better for Canada.

  1. Morals:  Trudeau has been brought before the ethics commissioner.  In the most recent case (WE), he prorogued parliament in order to stop any further investigation into Liberal corruption!
  2. Corporate protectionism: While another case of ethics and political favoritism, SNC Lavalin has a long history of international bribery (convicted), support of prostitution, and insider influence, their support of the Liberal Party and Justin Trudeau cries graft the manner of which the Green Hornet would cringe at!
  3. Ignoring of our veterans: Not so many years ago, Mr. Trudeau told a veteran that there was not enough money to increase pensions and benefits while the irregular immigrants streamed across the border with full benefits and hotel stays.   When CERB was introduced, a small additional amount was approved for the disabled.
  4. Ignoring Pensioners: Mismanagement of seniors pensions and benefits over the last 5 years.
  5. Creating a 2-tier media system with the buyout of the main stream media while denying access to press conferences and information to those who ask tough questions.
  6. Refusing to answer a meaningful question in the House of Parliament-accountability is the strength of a leader.
  7. Shutting down the House of Parliament during a so-called-crisis to avoid debate and monitoring of Covid 19 measures
  8. The incredible national deficit incurred since ‘sunny days’ have come to Canada
  9. The failed effort to win a seat at the United Nations-and the expenses incurred that did nothing for the citizens of Canada.
  10. The dismissal of Canada’s senior aboriginal elected official and her subsequent treatment by our Prime Minister
  11. The sacrifice of Bill Morneau in an effort to save his own reputation and the method by which Trudeau and company managed the affair.
  12. Canada Student Employment Grants: The inclusion of sexual orientation and abortion support as a condition of funding is disgraceful and the long-term cost of NOT having students work and gain experience is monumental.
  13. Trudeau’s continual funding of Reproductive Choices (I e Planned Parenthood) around the world. It is clear from the Conservative Party leader election that pro-life is a strong Canadian element and we as a country should not support abortion worldwide as a choice.
  14. Irregular immigration and the long-term cost and damage to Canadian society.
  15. Weak leadership
  16. Insignificant efforts to bring home our captive reporters in China.
  17. Lack of decisiveness during the pipeline blockade across Canada.
  18. The minimization of the oil industry across Canada in order to promote the UN policy of green energy at the cost of thousands of jobs in Alberta and Saskatchewan and the collapse of the Alberta Economy.
  19. Continued support of the World Health Organization and politically driven agenda surrounding the Covid 19 Virus with funds and supplies.
  20. Ignoring the reality of the statistics surrounding the Covid 19 virus and adjusting official responses to the decreasing threat with reduced measures. Poor leadership-a failing grade in statistical analysis.
  21. Not acting on the BLM and Antifa Movements across Canada and treating them as domestic terrorists by allowing the military to remove protests.
  22. Canada’s falling international reputation due to Trudeau’s lack of leadership and integrity.
  23. Trudeau’s pending criminal charges on ethics, pedophilia (Norm Traversy) and corruption. No criminal should lead our country.
  24. His lack of leadership credentials and experience were not sufficient to prepare him for his present role and he should not have been allowed to be PM, NEVER! Drama classes prepare you for drama, not leadership.
  25. Merely scolding those responsible for destruction of historic statues across Canada and not charging them for Vandalism is not leadership but rather permission by tongue lashing. Enable our police to find and force them to be accountable for their actions.
  26. His insistence that Canada has NO culture is a sign that despite his residency in Canada, his family history in Canada has no part in his future. Being leader of any country requires your loyalty TO that country first and foremost!
  27. With suspected ties to globalist groups, Trudeau and his acting Prime Minisiter (Freeland) both clearly dance to a different tune, the UN and their declarations being just one of them.   Canada first.  FIRST.
  28. During this last year, the failure of the Canadian Government to back the CFL, our premier sports league, with guarantees and potential grants so they can build community and develop athletes across Canada was very disappointing. It is sad that the NHL and other leagues have been able to operate.  Shame on you!

This is only a partial list, but along with many other circumstances and experiences, it is time to remove Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party from leadership of Canada.  I firmly believe that his time as Prime Minister will be seen by the future as our worst moment and he will be seen as our worst Prime Minister.

While there are not 50 items here, we have seen Prime Ministers fall for as little as one minor senate scandal, yet we continue to see our present government stumble, fall, collapse and then wake up to start over again seemingly like nothing has happened.

Democracy is people in action.  Voting, running, thinking and more importantly being accountable for our actions.

Let us pray that we are granted a leader with morals and the strength to stand up for the truth to every global movement, elite led or not!

DEI programs to promote diversity actually breed hostility in schools, businesses: study

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Calvin Freiburger

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion programs are billed as making society more tolerant, compassionate, and harmonious but actually have the opposite effect, according to a recent study by Rutgers University’s Network Contagion Research Institute

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs are billed as making society more tolerant, compassionate, and harmonious but actually increase hostility in workplace and educational settings, according to a recent study.

The study, by Rutgers University’s Network Contagion Research Institute, focused on “diversity training interventions that emphasize awareness of and opposition to ‘systemic oppression,’” which has “seen widespread adoption across sectors like higher education and healthcare.” It was conducted by exposing 423 Rutgers students to influential DEI training materials authored by far-left activists like Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, then surveying their reactions.

“Across all groupings (race, religion, and caste-based), instead of reducing bias, they engendered a hostile attribution bias,” the researchers found, “amplifying perceptions of prejudicial hostility where none was present, and punitive responses to the imaginary prejudice.”

“This research raises critical questions about how many individuals, as a result of these programs, have experienced undue duress, social ostracization, or even termination of employment,” said the researchers, who called for further research into “the potential for a far broader scope of harm than previously considered.”

“Importantly, the intervention did not produce any measurable change in warmth or coldness towards persons of color,” the report noted. “Educational materials from some of the most well published and well-known DEI scholars not only failed to positively enhance interracial attitudes, they provoked baseless suspicion and encouraged punitive attitudes.”

Kendi dismissed the findings as “pseudoscience” that “will end up in the historic landfill,” and likened it to attempts to give “scientific legitimacy to racist propaganda” for slavery and against civil rights.

But the findings align with widespread beliefs that “woke” efforts to see all aspects of society through identity-based lenses and root out presumed “systemic” bigotry, generations after achieving full equality for both sexes and every race, are more likely to foster division and resentment by keeping old wounds open and attributing prejudiced motivations where none exist.

More than 30 states have introduced legislation eliminating DEI programs from education as part of a broader push against so-called “woke ideology” spearheaded by Republicans such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Conservatives have long criticized DEI and other forms of identity politics for stoking rather than curing division and focusing education toward left-wing political indoctrination at the expense of learning.

Last year, insiders from the University of California-Los Angeles’ (UCLA’s) prestigious David Geffen School of Medicine warned that the school’s diversity fixation had led to a crisis in which more than half of students in various cohorts admitted since 2020 fail standardized tests for basic medical knowledge of subjects ranging from emergency medicine and family medicine to internal medicine and pediatrics.

Political and customer backlashes to such activism has translated to business woes for companies such as DisneyBud Light, and Target. Former President Donald Trump’s defeat in November of outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House has also been seen by many as further evidence of the general public rejecting woke ideology, signaling to corporations and activists alike the lack of popular receptiveness to such projects.

Judge rejects call for recusal in Trump assassination case

Published on

From The Center Square

By 

A judge appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump rejected calls from the man accused of trying to assassinate Trump in September for a new judge in the case.

U.S. Judge Aileen Cannon said in an order Tuesday that she saw “no proper basis for recusal.”

Prosecutors charged Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, of Hawaii, with possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, and attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate. Secret Service agents said Routh built a sniper’s nest on the sixth hole of the Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach. Prosecutors accused Routh of stalking Trump for a month before that. Routh has pleaded not guilty.

Routh’s defense team wants a new judge on the case because of Cannon’s past work on Trump’s classified documents criminal complaint. Routh said if Trump were reelected on Nov. 5 to the White House, he would be in a position to offer Cannon a better federal job. The team also said some people have questioned how the case got in front of Cannon. They also noted that Cannon had attended high school with one of the prosecutors on the case and attended his wedding nine years ago while serving as an Assistant United States Attorney.

“After all, the facts here are unprecedented,” the defense wrote in a reply to prosecutor’s opposition to the recusal. “To briefly recap: a former President, Mr. Trump, is the alleged victim in this criminal case; Mr. Trump appointed Your Honor to the federal bench; this Court previously presided over cases where Mr. Trump was a party and issued some rulings that were favorable to him, including one dismissing a criminal case against him; while on the campaign trail, Mr. Trump has repeatedly and publicly praised this Court and its rulings; Mr. Trump would have authority to appoint Your Honor to a position of power were he to become President again; and given the low odds of this Court being assigned three cases involving Mr. Trump, some have questioned whether the cases have been assigned at random.”

Prosecutors opposed the recusal motion.

Cannon said she has no relationship with Trump.

“I have never spoken to or met former President Trump except in connection with his required presence at an official judicial proceeding, through counsel,” she wrote in the order.

Cannon also said she had no control over what Trump says about her or her rulings. Trump praised her decision to dismiss the classified documents case.

In July, Cannon dismissed the 40 felonies Trump faced in the classified documents-related criminal case because she said the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution. Smith has appealed that decision. Legal experts widely considered the classified documents case as Trump’s most challenging legal hurdle.

Cannon also shot back at claims from the defense that the case might not have been randomly assigned to her.

“This case, like the prior cited cases involving former President Trump, were randomly assigned to me through the Clerk’s random case assignment system. Period. I will not be guided by highly inaccurate, uninformed, or speculative opinions to the contrary,” she wrote.

Cannon also said her professional friendship with a former colleague didn’t pass the recusal test.

“I maintain no ongoing personal relationship with the prosecutor, nor have I communicated with him in years,” she wrote. “In short, my personal friendship years ago with the prosecutor has no bearing or influence whatsoever on my impartial handling of this case or any other case in which he may appear as counsel of record.”
