    The big problem is, weasel Turdeau hasn't resigned... yet! He only said today that he 'intends' to resign. Meanwhile he remains the Prime Minister until a new Liberal leader is chosen, which will be months from now.

    Worse, he's shut down parliament until March 24. Which means that we don't have a functioning government for months. Canadians are held hostage by the globalist Turdeau regime who just gave itself several more months to further destroy the country.

    We need a federal election NOW! How do we do that?

    Here's Krayden's analysis, and the title isn't overly dramatic.

    I've also posted the following in the Palestine vs Israel thread, but it's even more relevant in this thread. Would like to hear from other Canadians on this.
    ______________________________________

    Must watch this 8 minute video by the Grayzone. Quoting what the next (most likely) Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Poilievre's answered to a reporter's question:

    "The idea of allowing a genocidal, theocratic, unstable dictatorship that is desperate to avoid being overthrown by its own people, to develop nuclear weapons is about the most dangerous and irresponsible thing that the world could ever allow."



    Polievre's words above most accurately describe Israel! Right? That's what most informed people would think, right?

    But then Poilievre continues:

    "And if Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity."


    Regrettably, the Conservative Party of Canada has since the Harper years loudly proclaimed support to Israel, no matter what they do. The Cons just ignore Israel's crimes, including the fact that Israel does have nuclear weapons in violation of international law, an indication that the zionist deep state has also infiltrated Canada (as well as most western nations).

    But I'm disgusted, and will never vote for this Conservative Party as long as they keep that position on Israel. There may not be anyone I could vote for come the elections (in April?). The People's Party of Canada is the only party with a reasonable platform, but last elections none of their candidates were voted in as MP. Canadians have been terrified that vote splitting might make the Liberals win again. This attitude will soon change, hopefully, as Turdeau's Liberals ratings are in the toilet, never been so low in the polls, so they're no competition.

    Canada's next leader endorses Israeli war on Iran

    Canada's next leader endorses Israeli war on Iran
    I have no psychic ability as far as I'm aware, but I can predict the future ... Trump, Starmer (with Blair behind the scenes), Poilievre etc, are the only entities allowed to govern 'the useless eaters' because they have no soul or shame when it comes to Israel. They will do their masters bidding - 'or get the job done' as Trump claimed recently when making it clear his support for Israel - and just listen to Kennedy Jr and Elon ...

    I usually tread carefully when it comes to 'channeled' content on YouTube, but I do recall Amanda Ellis saying recently that when she looked up Poilevre to see who he is and what he's all about, she was taken aback by his emptiness. She said something didn't feel right - just empty. I can describe this in everyday terms - he, along with the others have sold their soul.

    I'll freely admit that a few years back I had hopes that Trump could make a difference but now, to me, it seems looking who he's surrounding himself with, it feels like people may have been lured into a trap - the same with Canada. I don't wish to offend people here who feel differently and have voted/or likely to vote for these people. This was one area that I used to disagree with David Icke ... but now I line up with his take on this.

    Canada may not be in the position to send boots on the ground but if this guy gets elected I'm sure we'll see increasing amounts of tax payers money going out the back door to fund wars and genocide and a further decline in the health service and cost of living.

    Israel/Palestine - well, all wars and invasions are a very good indicator as to where someone's heart and intentions for humanity are at. Are these entities leading us into a brighter future or hell bent in dragging us back into the dark ages.

    One last comment about where people are at regarding the Palestinians ... I feel a bit uncomfortable naming certain folk but I'm going to do it anyway - I was SHOCKED at Gregg Braden's 'outburst' last year - in a roundabout way justifying Israel's assault on Palestine. He is clearly pro Israel with no mention of Palestinians suffering. He was even making accusations about naive U.S students doing their protests as being terrorist sympathizers and supporting Hamas etc. Needless to say the comments made for an interesting read and I think his outburst cost him a percentage of his audience, who were quick to point out that for someone who has an incredible knowledge of history going way back, his knowledge and understanding of the Israel Palestinian history is misguided and scant - it made me wonder if the Gaia TV network/franchise is a little compromised for it to be as 'mainstream' and successful as it is.

    I know I've rambled on a tangent here ... I'm still on my first coffee!

    Actually, it is Israel (not Iran) that has the nukes right now, and they're overly trigger happy. Israel has these nihilistic policies like the 'Hannibal Directive', and worse, the "Samson Option", which is that they're prepared to destroy everything around them if it looks like they're losing. Given that Israel's warmongering trajectory is unsustainable, that should raise very serious concern about Israel's nukes.

    Isreal's nukes need to be removed from them. This discussion should be done at the UN, or at least at the international level, among rational adults. Israel has not yet admitted they have nukes, but the whole world knows they have them, in violation of international law. Let's stop pussyfooting around these irrational spychopaths.

    Also, Israel has been using white phosphorus against Gaza and Lebanon, also in violation of international law. A very cruel form of prohibited weapon.

    At this time I believe that Iran is unlikely to use nukes on Israel, especially since that would potentially harm Palestinians. I think that Iran will only use hypersonic missiles in the case of Israel, if and when they decide to take action against Israel.

    (Edit to add that the above post was in response to Ernie, but it should belong to the Palestine vs Israel thread.)

    As a Canadian I've written to the Canadian government on that very issue, of course they never responded.

    One more thing about the Conservative Party of Canada. I know for a fact that during the 2021 federal elections they turfed out at least one of their candidates (for a MP seat) because he was unwilling to take the covid jab.

    Trump sounds serious about annexing Canada and Greenland. He claims that the USA spends 200 billion dollars every year on 'protecting Canada'. And he wants to grab Canadian land in compensation for that! It's not clear what he means by USA 'protecting Canada'. Is it NORAD? The USA would be operating NORAD with or without Canada's participation, given that they've installed military bases all over the world.

    "The Real Reason They Want Greenland & Canada Is TERRIFYING" - Whitney Webb's LATEST 2025 WARNING


    ____________________________

    My take is that Trump's real concern is the astronomical 37 trillion dollar USA debt, which is about to collapse the economy, and he's scheming ways to appropriate resources from other countries to manage that debt. I wonder if Trump ever thought that closing down all military bases abroad and stopping all these endless wars, focusing on USA innovation, infrastructure and trade would be a much more positive way to achieve economic stability.

    Trump is a billionaire. He made over 20,000,000,000 just yesterday.

    Anyone who thinks that Trump is the savior is mistaken.

    He represents a changing of the oligarchs, and a return to sanity. That return to sanity is the only positive to his administration. It is the world-wide wave of relief that will walk back some of the craziness we have had to endure.

    The hope is that the abrupt return to sanity will snap back further than we can imagine. We can walk back many insane policies, theories, and assumptions that have plagued this world as far back as we can collectively remember. Everything is on the line, everything can be questioned. Perhaps we can walk this thing back to where the people can determine their own destinies for the first time in history.

    That was always my hope, anyway.
    Trump is just the vessel.


    As for Canada. Is there still a Canada? I don't recognize it anymore.
    No free press, uni-party rule, 1/3 of the population from two countries, anti-national, anti-freedom, mob rule, communist masquerading as 'socialist', failed economy, dictatorial oligarchy.
    Canada is lost.

    I have so much I could say about how things are/have gone in this country.

    I am seriously worried for my kids' futures.

    I am concerned for my own health as the healthcare system here continues to fail. (I feel I am being pushed towards MAID, but that is not going to happen because I do not give up.)

    If I had the money, I would fly somewhere else to get the surgery I need.

    This is why I hardly post anything anymore because I am becoming so bitter and I recognize that and I try to keep finding ways to overcome this feeling of medical decline that is leading to mental decline due to never ending chronic pain.

    So much fun. Stupid canada.

    Need more points? Stop using legacy media for statistics - their viewership is way down and so their polls reflect their dwindling support. Especially in Canada, where there is no independant news media left to trust.

    We have no leader or party who can lead Canada out of the morass of poor decisions and turn our country around. We are heading in the same direction as the UK, except that the UK can get rid of their alien illegals - we gave ours citizenship...

    Need more points? Stop using legacy media for statistics - their viewership is way down and so their polls reflect their dwindling support. Especially in Canada, where there is no independant news media left to trust.
    You will pay the same amount when cumulating the US cost of medical insurance for less personal coverage and no universal one, when adding US taxes used for rudimentary public medical coverage, when adding all other costs paid to private industries on a per usage (highways etc) and adding other services (water, high electricity cost, etc).

    Many economist have made the calculations, why don’t you read it before spreading false information?

    And 80% of Canadians do not want to become Americans, not what you write at all. READ Ernie!

    I could say much more as a representative (representing the people) election ways, because USA is way less representing the will of the people than Canada even if Cabnada leaves much to be desired (US elections represent the will of the great corporate and sometimes foreign donatirs).

    Fair elections based on people will, that you cannot subvert: look at Switzerland - the Swiss (not New Zealand, not Sweden, as I have been told by Americans but Switzerland in the middle of Europe with huge mountains and excellent ski).

    And I could take your text point by point and reduce it to not much which I won’t do because from now on you will read yeah?

    Are you telling me that I cannot get full and total medical coverage, for myself alone, for $9,000/year (60% of total $15,000 federal taxes)? It would cost less than that - we are being cheated. I pay for the government to remove a child's breasts but I have to pay $500 cash to remove a cyst off my pelvic bone, that is the insanity in Canada.


    About 60% of Canadians live in Ontario and Quebec. The other 40% are often the ones footing the bill and having policy enforced against their best interests. Half the provinces in Canada have at one time or another expressed an interest in joining the USA. Right now, the desire to join USA is high. Watch what happens in the next few years as the American agenda of common sense takes hold.
    It's called the 'Trump Effect'.

    I do not want to join America, but I also don't want to live in 'woke' Canada - a communist state masquerading as 'socialist' (as if there is a difference), cozying up to China and the globalists.

    I feel that if our government continues to stay on the "woke" path and chooses not to follow the changes that are occurring in the US, the Canadian citizens will let their voices be heard.

    I feel you are being a bit reluctant even to say so. Of course Canadians won't stand up because they never do. Sure, we'll get a new Prime Minister, that's a given if they don't cheat.

    If you think otherwise explain to me how the Emergency Act was evoked on the Canadian Patriots. People were debanked, people were taken to court, people lost their jobs. And no one said a peep. And no one was held accountable.

    While the massive immigration was taking place regular majority white people were vilified in order to shut them up and stop them from pointing out the obvious - too many newcomers, many unqualified, were going to destroy the fabric of our country. Now, productivity is dangerously low in our country, and the quality of our goods and services has suffered - especially governmental services including health care.

    Our government has changed the language of their official web site to reflect their priority of importing non-white immigrants. The part about visible minorities, which is what they are either because of skin colour or accent, to People of Colour. Meaning that only people with different skin colour is concerning government - not Russians, Polish, German, Romanian or a dozen others nationals, but only the non-white countries like Pakistan, Congo, South Africa, Columbia, Afghanistan, Syria and hundreds of others.


    Our government has an agenda and a priority - and it does not include white people.

    An opinion....??



    The following was included in a comment under the post and it just seems to fit here!!

    'Enver Hoxha: the lunatic who took over the asylum
    Enver Hoxha: The Iron Fist of Albania tells the extraordinary story of how one man held an entire country hostage for 40 years – and got away with it.
    Alex Sakalis
    15 March 2016



    Between 1944 and 1985, the small Balkan nation of Albania was ruled by a strange, sociopathic and, frankly, completely mad dictator by the name of Enver Hoxha. While Stalinism effectively ended in Europe with the death of its namesake, or at least with the Khruschev reforms that followed, it continued unabated and unquestioned in Albania until 1990.

    When Hoxha died in 1985, Albania was officially the third poorest country in the world, with the GNP of a small town and an average income of 15 USD a month. Four decades of collectivisation had led to near starvation in the countryside, where Hoxha’s aggressive isolationism meant people were still using farming technology from the 1920s. When the regime finally collapsed a few years after Hoxha’s death, it left behind a tired, hungry, confused and fearful population.

    As Albanians marched towards democracy, like proverbial moles blinking into the sunlight, few had the time or will to reflect upon the man who had ruled them with unimaginable cruelty for over four decades.

    Enver Hoxha: The Iron Fist of Albania, by the journalist Blendi Fevziu, is the first proper biography of the dictator to be published. Having proven both hugely popular and hugely controversial in his homeland, it arrives here in English for the first time.

    One depressing leitmotif which recurs throughout the book is Hoxha’s paranoid purges. At the beginning, they make some contextual sense. Of course he would execute collaborators and political opponents – that’s just how things went.

    But soon he begins to execute rivals in his own party – including those he had only a few years earlier commended as war heroes. All dissidents were crushed, as were the clergy and the aristocrats.

    Old school friends and high school crushes were also purged; the person that had given Hoxha his scholarship to study in France was executed, as was the friend who let him live rent free in his Paris apartment.

    Former prime ministers, signatories to the Albanian Declaration of Independence in 1912 and founders of the Communist movement were among the many victims of summary executions that were de rigeur until the late 1980s.

    Hoxha also bumped off much of the intelligentsia to the extent that, by the time of Hoxha’s death, virtually no one in the Politburo could boast more than a high school education. One of the most dangerous positions to hold during Hoxha’s reign was Minister of the Interior - he killed all of them, bar one.

    As one woman - whose husband was executed by Hoxha - explains in the book: many Albanians had great ideas on how to run the country after the liberation – but only Hoxha was willing to kill his own brother-in-law to realise them.

    In 1967, Hoxha turned Albania into the world’s first atheist state. He closed down all churches and mosques and even destroyed several religious buildings of priceless cultural value. Clergy were among the most purged of all groups, with few living to tell the tale. In one depressing episode, a priest is executed for the crime of performing a baptism in a couple’s home. Hoxha even banned beards due to their association with Islam and Orthodox Christianity.

    He cultivated a cult of personality perhaps only equal to Kim Jong-Il in the twentieth century. His published works, which even by the standards of autohagiography are particularly galling, were mandatory reading in schools.

    Hoxha – or Uncle Enver as he liked to be portrayed – fomented his cult by fastidiously rewriting history books to present himself as, among other things, the founder of Albanian communism, the founder of the Albanian Communist Party, and the most important figure in the Partisan struggle. This, of course, raised some eyebrows among veterans of these movements, although only those lucky enough to be based outside Albania would live to tell the tale.

    Hoxha also kept his people in a constant state of fear by playing up the threat of a foreign invasion. Following this bluff through, Hoxha had around 750,000 concrete bunkers built across the country, mostly on the coast and along the borders with Greece and Yugoslavia, but also in cities, parks and other seemingly random locations.

    As well as costing a large chunk of the country’s GDP, this perpetual paranoia project also took the lives of many of the builders, who were mostly forced labourers. The architect of the bunkers, Josif Zagali, was himself eventually sent to a labour camp, in one of the Hoxha’s regular and largely nonsensical purges.

    Beginning in the 1960s, Hoxha and other leading Party members began confining themselves to a self-sustaining district of Tirana known as Blloku (literally: the Block). Hermetically sealed from the rest of Albania, Hoxha and his cronies rarely ventured outside, preferring to make all the country’s decisions from inside their living rooms and parlours.

    The chapter on Blloku is written with all the dystopian intrigue of a J.G. Ballard story. There are special shops to buy the best groceries and western clothes, a leisure house to view ‘banned’ western films, and pharmacies with western medicine procured by Albanian agents abroad. Every luxury denied to the rest of the country was available in this privileged compound.

    However, tenure within the Bllok was by no means guaranteed in these turbulent times, and families would often have their children intermarry among each other to forge alliances and guarantee political security, at times descending into quasi-incestuous engagements. Having your child marry one of Hoxha’s children was the goal to which many families aspired, although considering Hoxha has his own brother-in-law murdered, even that didn’t guarantee safety.

    Not that there was any joy inside the Bllok. Paranoia and fear was rife, as families were casually purged when Hoxha felt like it and replaced by families from “outside”, desperate to get into this privileged snowglobe world.

    When the son of Mehmet Shehu, who Hoxha was grooming as his successor, decides he wants to marry a girl from outside the Bllok – a sweet volleyball player called Silva Turdiu - it sends shockwaves through the community. As Fevziu writes, “little did [Shehu’s fiancée] know that she had just manoeuvred herself into the eye of a terrible political storm.” The event ends with the engagement called off, the entire Shehu family purged and Mehmet Shehu dead in an apparent suicide.

    Hoxha - a weird, sociopathic, mass murdering tyrant – passed away a free man. His death ushered in seven days of unprecedented mourning from his indentured subjects. His memoirs, which ran to 13 volumes, were the mark of a man determined to disprove Oscar Wilde’s famous maxim: that no man is rich enough to buy back his past.

    Fevziu’s book doesn’t let this injustice stand. His fastidious research, helped by the opening of the previously sealed Communist archives, lays out the horrors of the man and his regime for all to see.

    His book is also important in another way: it provides a voice to the dead, the disappeared, the exiled, and the purged, who are brought to life in a number of absorbing vignettes throughout the book. Giving them a voice and a story, something which Hoxha desperately tried to deny them, is perhaps Fevziu’s most profound achievement.

    ‘Enver Hoxha, The Iron Fist of Albania’, by Blendi Fevziu, is published by I B Tauris.'

    How are Avalonians living in Canada feeling about the impending tariffs? I was wondering how much they may/or not impact the cost of food prices - especially as we rely on the U.S and Mexico.

    A friend's husband used to work in the office at Maple Leaf Foods here in Ontario. (If you haven't heard of them, they process and package sliced deli meats etc). Anyway, he was telling me that despite the meat coming from Ontario pigs etc, Canada prepares the meat in sections for it then to be sent out and 'rendered' in China and then sent back to Canada to be prepared and packaged!!! This is insane just trying to get my head around the logistics of all this, and has got me thinking about how much back-and-forth between Canada and the U.S (and other countries) takes place during the process of manufacturing food. This must make tariffs really complicated. I don't buy packed deli meats, but I'm sure the packaging will say 'made in Canada' and technically it is up to a point with services from other countries.
    So there's extra attention needed when reading between the lines on labels if trying to buy Canadian at this time.
