I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is. University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages. Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures. There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them. If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings: Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them. Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.
Elite university students are now incapable of reading a book. Instead of fixing this, universities are simply reducing reading requirements to shorter and shorter excerpts. This is no mere literacy crisis. It is a civilizational one. To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization โ€” if the schools and universities won't teach the great books, we must form reading groups to study them ourselves. Every month, we read a new great work. We've covered texts like Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, The Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote. We're now reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. We must study the ideas upon which the West was built if we are to preserve it. It takes effort to read these texts, and even more to read them well. Thats what we're doing, slowly, in dialogue with each other. If you'd like to be part of this, please join our reading group and consider a paid subscription. It makes a HUGE difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. We are entirely funded by our members. You'll get: - Live book club discussions (biweekly) - Access to our incredible community chat - Essays to guide you through the Great Books - All past recordings, essays, and podcasts - Ability to vote on what we read next athenaeumbooks.com/welcome Welcome!

If this doesn't prove to people Satan is in charge of Canada and this is not a political fight but a fight for our souls then nothing will.

The Liberal government will not protect Canadian citizens, even in the most basic common sense way by banning non-Kanadian visitors/refugees from these countries and banning travel to. They aren't even checking them. Their virtue signalling is more important than your life.

This how the Covid hysteria ( NOT COVID) gave me cancer and changed my life forever.... In January of 2020 I had a sore throat that wouldn't go away. I went to my GP and she said it was probably allergies. So, I believed her. The pain came and went off and on. In February 2020, I went back because of pain and it was making me very anxious. She said, she didn't see anything and still thought it was allergies. By March, I could barely eat, the pain was killing me. She gave me medication for anxiety (I can't even remember what it was) and directed me to an ENT. By this time, everything was being shut down. That doctor scoped my throat. He said I had polyps but they were probably because I project my voice. Okay, that made sense because it's true. He flat out told me that they were not cancerous 100%. He said I could not have a PET Scan because with the "Covid guidelines" in place it was considered "elective" and couldn't be done. He said to come back in September for another check. In my mind I had seen three different doctors so they must be right. They couldn't do anything else anyway (Following the Covid guidelines) I was living in excruciating pain for months and on pain meds. In May, I fell (From pain meds) at home, alone, and shattered my ankle, lol (Not really funny, but I was like WTF) In the hospital I go, surgery, and now in a wheelchair ๐Ÿ˜‚ I couldn't go to a residential rehab because it was only for stroke and heart attack people ( Per Covid guidelines) I'm not making this shit up, lol. I told the doctors at the hospital about my throat as well. It's like " You'll be fine" lol. I'm on a walker and at times still in a wheelchair because I'm still recovering BTW when it was September and time to go back and get scoped again at my ENT. He scoped me and said, "I'm referring you to an Oncologist, I think you have cancer" I SHIT YOU NOT that's what he said. I went to (Which is still my Oncologist, whose amazing) He did a PET, results were Stage 4 incurable Squamous Cell Carcinoma spread to Lymphnodes in neck. So yes, I remember the Covid restrictions. It almost killed me. To all the people pushing for another Pandemic, eat shit! Unless it's Ebola spreading like wildfire, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT AND I DON'T CARE. I beat Cancer against all odds and I'm very grateful. Many people died from the Covid restrictions. We can't ever allow that again. Thanks for listening ๐Ÿฉท

What happened Michael is that liberal retards like you, who reply to comments then cowardly block so I can't, protect criminals over citizens because according to Dr Gad Saad, you have twisted suicidal empathy. You feel sorry for the wrong guy.

The girl here needs her heart replaced at 23. MDs misdiagnosed her because they are refusing to admit the va666 destroys hearts. When a young person is breathless, ask 'Are you va666ed", then check their heart. It isn't "it's a mystery'. It's the mRNA va666.

Steve โ€” that fear for your grandkids is real, and it's shared by millions of Canadians right now. Here's the thing: this isn't about ideology. It's about infrastructure. Bill C-15 made digital currency legal. Bill C-22 builds the surveillance backbone. Bill S-206 creates the payment pipeline. All passed or moving through Parliament right now. The good news? Canadians who see the receipts don't unsee them. And you're already here. Share this with your family. The more Canadians holding the same documents, the harder it is to push through quietly. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
