With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

In the summer of 1940, German bombers dropped copies of an “Appeal to Reason,” a hefty leaflet of Hitler’s three hour speech before the German Reichstag. But only because the BBC didn’t broadcast it.

“Join CBC next Sunday when they discuss CHILD ABDUCTION: A CONVERSATION. Sure it’s illegal and immoral, but join hosts as they ignore that and discuss the pros and cons of abduction in a stimulating intellectual conversation.” Obviously /sarc. Shame on the CBC for normalizing an act of war.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

My law firm cancelled our partner's retreat to Chicago. We are re-scheduling for somewhere in Canada. Although I've only been here a few years, at least a decade straight were in the US. This is now the third trip I've canceled since Nov. Two personal and one business.

Hey folks rather than quote tweeting links from Cross Country Checkup or Hanomansing, giving them engagement they so desperately crave, I'd suggest taken 3 minutes and writing to the CBC Ombudsman who will take our complaints seriously. cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman...

This is phenomenal. Everyone read this. Pay particular attention to point two: Stop Talking, Start Doing. We can talk on here, but we must take to the streets, organize, ACT. No sitting wondering about a backlash. We are the backlash. Make it visible through ACTION.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

Have we really forgotten that the Nazis were the worst humans to ever walk the Earth? I don’t understand how this isn’t triggering mass protests in every city in the US or a response from the armed forces. We (the US, Canada, Britain, etc) fought, and won, a war over this shit. #LestWeForget

Unless we speak up this type of garbage will continue. I support funding the CBC but I want that money spent by the CBC to support Canada. Please take a minute to contact them.

Leading expert on tyranny👇, offering some hope that the populist fever is breaking. Next steps are critical. Conservative & moderate leaders need to re-normalize pluralism by pushing back & re-erecting guardrails. Progressives need to provide space & cover. True in Alberta as it is in America.

This should be the default greening of all "hellstrips". Definition: A hellstrip is the planting strip between the sidewalk and the road in front of a property, often found in cities and suburban areas. It's usually planted with high-maintenance grass.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."
