I’d like people to witness this horrific behaviour and recognize where it’s coming from. The ignorant self righteous sanctimonious left “progressives” who rationalize stochastic terrorism as acceptable entertainment and appropriate political commentary.
I’ve often referred to stochastic terrorism on the right.
But it’s as bad and as dangerous on the left.
People are burning down churches. Rage and hatred abound in the indigenous community and in their so called allies.
And what are these allies doing? Proudly proclaiming Caroline Bennett irredeemable for daring to privately criticize JWR.
Yeah, she should have known better that an opportunist like JWR would jump on the opportunity to smear LPC, and Caroline Bennett.
But why? Why is JWR making reconciliation of the history of Canada all about herself? Why is she singlehandedly detracting from the public processing the revelations of what is over 1300 and will be thousands of unmarked graves of indigenous children?
Who does that benefit? JWR is about to release a new book. Rumours of an election loom.
But ultimately who benefits if the nation focusses all their anger, shame, hatred and disgust on an LPC cabinet minister instead of the ideology & institutions that perpetrated these crimes?
This is the second time JWR has tried to take down Bennett and LPC with it because the Liberals are not prepared to scrap the constitution and start from scratch. Putting every citizen at risk of being stateless & becoming squatters in a hostile and uncertain new nation(s)?
I must say: the lack of inquiry by lefty “progressives” is seriously putting every other Canadian at risk. And I’m getting tired of the squeaky wheels getting all the grease. And using cancel culture accusations to manipulate the indigenous reconciliation narrative.
What is happening is a FN woman whose ideology is neither liberal nor federalist is attempting to detract from her own community’s healing & reconciliation to redirect attention to a convenient scapegoat to once again try to remove LPC from power.
Riding a wave of SJW ignorance among Canadians who have ignored indigenous issues for decades.
Who ultimately benefits?
The Catholic Church and the other churches who participated in this crime against FN children and communities.
Who else benefits? The CPC who share the same patriarchal ideology as Christians & busy selling themselves as the rational logical replacement for LPC.
If anyone thinks Singh & NDP will win the next election, they’ve got a screw loose.
You know who’s going to vote for NDP?
Radicalized extremists. Q’Anon conspiracy theorists with a SJW bent. Anarchists who want to destroy legitimate national authority. People who believe a motion is binding.
The stupidity of those who believe the gaslighting coming from multiple opposition parties is astounding.
I watch in dismay as people willingly but unwittingly adopt authoritarian principles and seek to increase wedges between fellow Canadians.
Who, in their right mind, thinks maximizing polarization is going to lead to the eradication of systemic bias and injustice? Honestly?
Extremists filled with a mythical wondrous socialist past and a romanticized version of left libertarian rebellion of Robespierre and his merry band of Jacobins.
Lost on these gullible fools is the reality that Robespierre was a power junkie who oversaw the Reign of Terror.
He was no hero and murdered with impunity until he lost his own head.
His political philosophy?
Radical socialist rebel.
Why must those of us who know a bit of history be forced to watch the ignorant repeat the destructive and violent mistakes recorded as dire warnings?
And why does a wily, deceptive racialized trouble maker get the benefit of the doubt, when the woman she accuses of racism has 24 years of dedicated public service on behalf of indigenous peoples across Canada? With never a complaint registered before.
Because people who don’t have much power have gained a platform to smear, assassinate reputations and destroy efforts to help ALL indigenous people. And while destroying a scapegoat they assuage their own guilt and shame.
Facts matter. Back story is important. Being open to hearing truth is a difficult and frightening task. Guilt and shame are difficult emotions to process.
Or there is always mob justice and cancel culture. That solves everything.
It’s not just the far right that has turned to McCarthyism to weed out their main competition and feel the drug of power coursing through their veins.
It’s the left ripping apart democracy, overruling the will of the electorate, the rule of law and swaggering around like KKK.
I don’t use that description lightly.
The resemblance is terrifying. A radicalized group of people with little to no power in their real lives have banded together to vilify and dehumanize all who stand in their way.
They aren’t Social Justice Warriors. They’re thugs.
Two bit thugs, who travel in packs and apply “justice” as they see fit. Willing to eradicate anyone who dissents or challenges their beliefs.
That’s the same attitude and behaviour as KKK members and lynch mobs.
It’s not just the far right. It’s the ultra radical left too.
Demonstrating so eloquently how easy it is for seemingly normal people to commit evil in the name of justice, faith or politics.
Just like those who ran the residential schools and buried thousands of children.
They were certain indigenous children were savages. Certain that the white race and it’s cultural practices & faith were superior. Convinced of their moral supremacy, believing god had tasked them with erasing the culture, language & personalities of indigenous children.
It’s so easy to become the “Good German” & revel in the belief that you’re superior in thought, action, belief and morals.
Who doesn’t want to instantly raise themselves from banal existence to the top of the hierarchy? All it requires is arrogance & abandonment of your values.
I don’t feel pity for those who take this path. I feel scorn for them. Scorn and disgust.
There is no tolerance of the intolerable behaviour of radicalized extremists.
And there is very limited ability to actually be heard by people who think they’re superior.
These folks will fight to the death to maintain their power and beliefs.
Like any other radicalized extremist, they’ve abandoned their humanity for the rush power provides.
It’s sickening.
And they have the impudence to call themselves progressive.
Stunning.

A little suspected espionage and a little theft of Canadian intellectual property.
Sensitive investigation with national security, foreign relations and international trade implications. Confirmed by a leaky lab partner who understands none of these areas adequately.
Two PLA scientists in the Winnipeg lab. How the heck did that get approved?
Wonder when that occurred? Wonder if there were contracts signed, like NDA’s. And by whom? Lab administration, Health Canada, under which Prime Minister?
Get your head out of your behind and do the hard work of reconciliation.
That does not include destroying property.
I don’t care how effing angry you are.
There is absolutely no justification for destroying property.
None.
You want to act like a two bit arsonist to prove a point? The only point you’re proving is your utter lack of consideration for indigenous people who attend those churches.
Learn to cope with this information. Millions of indigenous people have and have not destroyed property.
What this response from a UCP MLA reveals is the terror on the right if the public actually figures out that this is the system UCP is in the process of recreating in Alberta.
Her accomplishment of a meaningful climate plan for Canada. And the Supreme Court of Canada precedent and law of the land that pollution comes at a price.
Her acknowledgment of the key strategic relationships she has honed during her time as a politician. Wherever she lands, she brings those voices with her.
Thanks Althia for propagating disinformation. @althiaraj
Rather than questioning McKenna as to her rationale, like a REAL JOURNALIST, you spin some conspiracy theory that there is a problem performing her job due to PMJT.
It’s bad enough that you provide unbalanced and partisan opinions on CBC, but you’ve crossed a line with this BS.
The fact remains PMJT & LPC have done more than any Canadian federal govt to address climate change in a hostile and existentially threatening political environment.
No thanks to CPC or NDP who have continuously provided diametrically opposed rhetoric and obstruction of legislation and policy.
McKenna has been ruthlessly attacked by both left and right demagoguery and her life has been threatened several times.
Has anyone bothered to ask why McKenna is retiring from politics before moving on?
Could it be she’s fed up with partisan attacks from both sides? Brutal vicious verbal attacks and threats that puts her life and the lives of her children at risk?
And how media basically ignores the risks that female politicians endure. More or less providing tacit approval for partisan hacks who relentlessly attack female politicians with impunity.
Kinda like this article that is really about Mark Carney and not McKenna’s unfortunate decision to take herself out of some crosshairs.
Misogyny is built into the political system.
How about we stop perpetuating misogyny and ignoring it’s existence?
