Authoritarian regimes use "protecting children" as a standard pretext for broad internet control. Top 5: 1. China – Great Firewall minor mode rules enforce total CCP dominance over information. 2. Russia – 2012 child-harm blacklist law quickly expanded to block opposition and "extremism." 3. Iran – Moral and child-safety filters uphold theocracy and crush dissent. 4. North Korea – Total isolation framed as shielding citizens from foreign corruption. 5. Saudi Arabia/Vietnam – Religious or party controls wrapped in youth protection. Genuine CSAM blocking is narrow and universal. The pattern here is power consolidation. Canada's new Safe Social Media Act and similar Western bills start with the same rhetoric. Watch the expansion.

You have to read Bill C-34 on The Commission to believe it. It sets the rules on age verification, social media bans, and content removals while serving as combined regulator, investigator and advocate. At the start, Chair alone can be the full Commission. x.com/mgeist/status/20665288…

🚨Queen’s University law professor Bruce Pardy warns: Mark Carney branded peaceful truckers “seditionists” and “terrorists” simply for protesting Trudeau’s mandates — no violence, just honking horns and parking tickets. Now as Prime Minister, he’s advancing Liberal hate speech laws that will silence dissent and crush the right to protest. Every Canadian 🇨🇦 should be deeply worried: our free speech is in grave danger. Wake up! #MarkCarneyMustGo

🚨🇬🇧BREAKING: UK Police just arrested a crying 5-year-old boy while taking away his father. Starmer's police dragged the terrified child into a car, then pepper-sprayed and the father and the man filming everything. What the hell is happening in Britain?

Shameful. This is an example of the many reasons I have questioned my former fondness (maybe even allegiance!) to Canada. I am not like these people. These people are consciously and deliberately representing Canada on the world stage - they identify as "patriotic Canadians" and it is through that identity they are encouraged by their favourite politicians and moved to act so shamefully. If being Canadian is to denigrate a sports team because you don't like their government, then I'm not Canadian. It should be noted I've attended many such events since moving back to the west: Stampede events hosting American competitors, lacrosse matches against American teams, etc. Not once - NOT EVEN ONCE - have Albertans boo'd the US athletes.

The world's richest person revolutionized the auto industry and is the reason EV vehicles are becoming ubiquitous everywhere the weather allows it; he's also the reason 'micro' payments became ubiquitous on the internet and ecommerce was transferred from the incumbent monopolies to the commoner; he's helping quadriplegics and ALS patients communicate and regain quality of life; he's the reason space travel is once-again possible; he's protects freedom of speech; and he has made internet connectivity possible in every remote region of the world including in the most repressive countries. The companies he leads employ hundreds-of-thousands of people worldwide and pay hefty salaries that produce prosperity in every country in which they operate. The people employed in those companies are motivated by the most ambitious goals in human history and create some of the most advanced technology ever imagined. On paper, he's a trillionaire. But in reality, he's made every person on Earth more prosperous by increasing their access to the platforms and tools his companies produce and to the liberalist principles his companies embody. I wish Elon Musk all the best in his future endeavors. What a time to be alive!

I do not approve of the way my government spends my taxes. What can I do about this? Serious question.

Timeline: Federal Actions Affecting Alberta's Energy Sector 1957 — Equalization Program — PM Louis St. Laurent Harms Alberta: Created the federal transfer system that later used Alberta’s stronger tax base and resource economy to support other provinces. 1980 — National Energy Program — PM Pierre Trudeau Harms Alberta: Federal price controls, taxes, and revenue-sharing reduced Alberta’s oil revenue and investor confidence. 1982 — Canada Oil and Gas Act — Bill C-48 — PM Pierre Trudeau Harms Alberta: Expanded federal control over oil and gas rights on federal lands and offshore areas. 1997 / 2002 — Kyoto Protocol Commitment and Ratification — PM Jean Chrétien Harms Alberta: Put federal emissions obligations over a province whose economy depends heavily on oil and gas. 2007 — Equalization Formula Change — Budget 2007 / Bill C-52 — PM Stephen Harper Harms Alberta: Moved to a 10-province standard with 50% of natural resource revenues included in the formula, meaning Alberta’s resource wealth helped raise the national standard used to calculate payments. 2007 — Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act — Bill C-288 — PM Stephen Harper Harms Alberta: Forced federal planning around Kyoto targets, increasing pressure on emissions-intensive oil and gas. 2018 — Federal Carbon Tax — Bill C-74 — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Added carbon costs to fuel, operations, transport, and large industrial emitters. 2018 — Federal Methane Regulations — SOR/2018-66 — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Added compliance costs and equipment requirements to upstream oil and gas. 2019 — Oil Tanker Moratorium / West Coast Tanker Ban — Bill C-48 — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Blocked a northern B.C. crude export route to global markets. 2019 — Impact Assessment Act — Bill C-69 — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Increased approval risk, delays, and uncertainty for pipelines and major energy projects. 2021 — Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act — Bill C-12 — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Created a legal framework for future emissions restrictions on oil and gas. 2022 — Clean Fuel Regulations — SOR/2022-140 — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Increased compliance costs on gasoline, diesel, refiners, producers, and consumers. 2023 / 2024 — Oil and Gas Emissions Cap — Draft CEPA Regulations — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Sector-specific cap widely criticized as a de facto production cap. 2024 — Sustainable Jobs Act — Bill C-50 — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Federal transition planning away from traditional oil and gas jobs. 2024 — Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Tax Credit — Bill C-59 — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Ties oil sands competitiveness to expensive federally defined carbon-capture requirements. 2024 — Anti-Greenwashing Amendments — Bill C-59 — PM Justin Trudeau Harms Alberta: Creates legal risk for oil and gas companies speaking publicly about emissions and environmental claims. 2025 / 2026 — Partial Carbon Tax Rollback — Bill C-4 — PM Mark Carney Harms Alberta: Removed the consumer carbon tax, but left industrial carbon pricing in place. 2025 / 2026 — Canada–Alberta Energy MOU / Industrial Carbon Pricing Deal — PM Mark Carney Harms Alberta: Preserves and strengthens industrial carbon pricing, ties pipeline progress to emissions reductions, and requires major public-backed carbon capture commitments such as Pathways. Alberta Independence was never the problem, it's the only solution.

When our Government says “Most Canadians agree” “Canadians want” “Canadians have asked for” It is a tactic to enact something our Government wants, not the people. Canadians are manipulated into believing they want this. Over the last several months they used the media to promote the idea of banning kids from social media, tell us how Australia did it, push some fear stories & use tragedies to their advantage. These people are sick and they know full well how to manipulate a population into compliance. They use this method over and over again. If you keep falling for it, you are the problem.

In Ottawa, an Alberta pipeline is now being labeled as violence against women. This is not a United Canada, and this is not a place for a Strong Alberta. On October 19th, remember this and vote for your freedom. Vote for Option 2.

We shouldn’t have to stop and ID for no reason on the road. We shouldn’t have to stop and ID for no reason on the web. Government checkpoints are no less tyrannical when they’re digital.

🚨🚨🚨Windscribe just dropped the most savage takedown of Bill C-22 I’ve seen. Their CEO sits there in a forced “confession” video and sarcastically thanks the government for Bill C-22 while listing exactly what it does: - Forces companies to keep **one full year** of your metadata - Metadata includes who you contacted, when, how long, where you were, what device you used - Government can issue secret orders with zero transparency or judicial oversight - Companies are not allowed to tell the public they’ve been ordered to spy on you - Police get “lawful access” to encrypted communications (aka a backdoor) This isn’t about catching criminals. This is the government demanding the keys to everyone’s digital life and telling you to shut up and be grateful. Windscribe is a Canadian VPN company. They’re literally saying: if this passes, we may have no choice but to pull out of Canada rather than betray our users. That’s how bad this bill is. Liberals keep pushing these “safety” bills while stripping away the last remaining privacy protections Canadians have. First C-11, now C-22. They won’t stop until they can monitor everything. This video is brilliant because it says everything the mainstream won’t. Drop a 🔥 if you’re sick of being treated like a criminal by your own government for wanting basic privacy. #BillC22 #cdnpoli #PrivacyMatters #LiberalFail #Canada

Back in Toronto this week. Not gonna lie, Toronto has Canada's best graffiti. It's an eyesore and you'd think someone would do something about it. But if you're going to have graffiti, you want Toronto's graffiti.

Totalitarianism has been achieved in Canada. Every political institution is radical socialist.

Here’s how the scam works: Consultants in India, sell the idea of, “Go to Canada, get free healthcare, we’ll find you a job, you’ll be able to then bring your parents, bring your grandparents, and you can all succeed because even if you don’t, the government will take care of you. You just have to pay us.” The temporary for workers (TFW) family, then pools together generational savings to give to the consultant - usually $50 -75K. That consultant then pays $30-$40K, to those business owners hiring TFWs. So then that becomes the business model for those business owners: TFWs. Not the business itself, but the hiring of foreigners. Because that money is paid cash, making it tax-free. Those TFW, then come here and they work 70 to 80 hours a week by force. Otherwise they get threatened that they will get fired and told they lose their temporary foreign worker status. I’ve heard this from many victims. The UN called it modern day slavery. They called out our TFW program. The government even has a report by an independent third party they hired, recommending more resources for compliance because of the abuse that exists. Ultimately, the victims are temporary foreign workers, our youth who are then displaced and unable to find work, us who have our healthcare systems choked, and those relying on food banks. Why? Because TFWs get a lower wage, get taken advantage of, and can’t afford to live, because they were sold on a lie. It’s a shameful scam that the Liberals have allowed to flourish.

The October referendum should not be reduced to party labels, personalities, or political theatre. It should be about a practical and serious question: do Albertans have sufficient say over the decisions that affect our jobs, homes, housing, services, and future prosperity? In 2021, 61.7% of Albertans voted to remove equalization from the Constitution. Premier Kenney asked Ottawa and the other premiers to act. They did not. Nothing changed. Albertans should understand the difference between symbolic consultation and real leverage. The other referendum questions may express Alberta’s frustration, but they do not create any binding obligation on Ottawa to act. None. An independence referendum is different. It compels Canada to confront Alberta’s unfair treatment in a way that cannot simply be ignored. Get informed. Compare the claims. Understand what is actually on the ballot. Then vote.

One man in Canada, if he's called "Premier" of a province, can intervene in the market whenever his ideology requires it. He can single-handedly, without a vote among elected representatives and while undermining existing regulatory frameworks, decide to shut out any business he dislikes. Never mind that hundreds of datacentres already exist across Canada, they employ thousands of Canadians, and they operate safely within the already stringent environmental regulations. But this one? This particular proposed datacentre? Not allowed. That's why investors are taking their money to other countries. That's why business owners are taking their businesses to other countries. Operating a business in Canada is like navigating a minefield. Depending on the mood of a single politician, entire businesses can be destroyed.

Many Canadians have broken souls. Their brains are broken and incapable of basic logic. Here's an example: There are hundreds of datacentres across the country. In universities, in office buildings, in large warehouses, in purpose-built facilities. They operate safely, quietly, and most people have never noticed. But somehow in the past few days, somebody added an adjective. They're called "*A*I* datacentres" now and suddenly there's a public panic. !? I'm talking with Canadians of all kinds and I'm amazed at the effectiveness of the anti-development propaganda. People I used to consider intelligent are ready to storm the gates if the creation of a new datacentre is approved in their country. wtaf?

CRA's website is offline again. What a perfect illustration of Canada's federal government.

Is this an SCTV skit? Or is this real life?
