These poll results are absolutely fascinating, especially the attitudes of quebecois to 'Canada'.


Views from (both sides of) the 49th: Canadians take more pride in their country than Americans do in their own

Nine-in-ten in Canada (89%) say their country is a safe place to live; half as many say this in U.S. (43%)

Wow,  Just wow.  Did not see that one coming.  83% of quebecois see Canada as a country they are proud to live in.   

If at all accurate, this is proof of the success of the efforts of the Canadian state and civil society to slowly, patiently co-opt quebecois nationalism over the decades.

We've now got our intelligence community whistleblowing on corrupt politicians at all levels of government.  Up to 12 politicians or candidates are affected, from multiple parties. Our PM makes excuses one day and calls those accusing a politician racist.  The very next day, more damaging information is leaked and the CCP compromised MP resigns from the governing Lib party.

There will be lots more to come.  2 down, more to come.  

This government needs to fall, and right now.


This really sad.  It is now official.  Canadians are just as easy to mislead and manipulate as Americans.  

Yes, this government should fall but who will replace it?  Pierre Pollievre's Conservative Party that promotes monetary policy that will have Canadians wearing grass skirts and living in thatched roof huts?

Benedict Cumberbatch reads a hilarious letter of apology to a hotel



In March of 2018, 18 years after being banned from the Empress Hotel in British Columbia, Novia Scotia resident Nick Burchill wrote them a letter and asked for forgiveness. Three days later, by which point his letter had been reprinted online and read by millions, the ban was lifted.

Benedict Cumberbatch performed this letter at Letters Live at the Royal Albert Hall, London in October 2022.

My quebecoise mother-in-law went this route two years ago.  She had terminal cancer and all her bodily functions including her otherwise sharp mind  were giving out on her.   Former tobacco and alcohol addict.  She wanted it; we agreed and helped her.  BC provincial government medical staff were superb.   No charge.

It is the Quebec College of Physicians that have recommended that euthanasia be extended to severely disabled children.   I am personally open to the idea;   I am not willing to condemn the societies and cultures that have practiced infanticide throughout history.  We are a social being.

But frankly, this is much to do about nothing because the notion of legally sanctioned infanticide will not fly with the Canadian electorate.    Not for many decades.

How a conservative US network undermined Indigenous energy rights in Canada
The Atlas Network calls itself a “worldwide freedom movement” and has nearly 500 partners, including thinktanks like the Manhattan Institute. Other powerful partners include the Cato Institute, a thinktank co-founded by Charles Koch in 1977, as well as the Heritage Foundation, which hosted a keynote speech by Donald Trump in April. Their influence on US politics includes leading campaigns to make Americans doubt if human-caused climate change is real.
