Are we witnessing the END of free speech?
Last week, True North’s Rupa Subramanya testified before the U.S. Congress, cautioning lawmakers about the decline of free speech in Canada and urging them not to adopt the policies of the Trudeau government.While free speech, even expressing the most deplorable views, is still valued in the U.S., the same cannot be said for other Western countries, particularly in Canada.

They have also been accused of using Palestinian civilians as human shields.Despite Hamas’ brutal crimes, western countries are witnessing massive pro-Hamas protests taking place in public places.

In response to the news, Canada was accused of committing genocide, churches were burned down, and the country was put in a permanent state of mourning.However, what isn’t widely talked about is the fact that no human remains have been found at any of the sites where apparent remains were said to be.

Trudeau has yet to provide evidence to back up his accusation, and allies have remained silent on the matter.Last week, parliamentarians invited and then gave a standing ovation to a Ukrainian veteran who served in a Nazi military unit.

The growing pushback against gender ideology (Ft. Chris Elston)

The book titled, Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else writes about how plutocrats — the super-elites who sit at the top of the economic, political and social pyramid — attempt, and often succeed, in turning the rules of the game in their favour, by shaping government policy and public opinion.
