Navigating Progressive Cant

by Tim Murray

Premier Kathleen Wynne, feminist and gay rights activist, forced to sit like a third class citizen in the corner of a mosque in Toronto, while the men prayed.

We are not different. We are the same. We are all Canadians
— says Kathleen Wynne everyday.

We are a nation of diverse people, and diversity is our strength
— says Justin Trudeau everyday.

Hmm. We are diverse but we are the same. But if we are the same, then we are not diverse. And if we are not diverse, we are not strong. So if we are the same, we must be all weak because we are not different. But if we are not different then we can't be all Canadians because Canada is a nation of diverse people who underneath it all happen to be the same. Or is that we are the same people who are always diverse? That's what makes us strong, or weak, as the case may be. We are diverse in the same way as everybody else which makes our nation so unique. And strong — despite our differences — which are non-existent because we are the same.

In Dangerous Times, We Need the Rule of Men, Not the Rule of Law

by Jean Drapeau, Liberty Institute of Canada

We are told time and time again that civil societies observe the rule of law, not the rule of men. However, what happens when the law becomes so disconnected from the citizenry that its application can no longer serve the common good? What happens when politically appointed judges and bureaucrats fall out of sync with the voters?

Vietnamese refugees, 1979: Canada took 60,000 "boat people" in 18 months

Canadian multiculturalism for Pierre Trudeau was about remaking Canada into the first "polyethnic" federal state in human history. Only a Canada without an official culture could be consistently liberal, he argued, for only such a Canada would have ended the domination of one cultural group over the nation's identity. A Canada without a collective culture would be truly liberal in allowing citizens the individual right to choose their own culture. But why would it have been illiberal for Canada to affirm its actual bicultural heritage since the overwhelming majority of its citizens in 1971 were Anglo-Quebecois, and all the institutions and values came from this majority?

Canada's 150th: Birthday or Funeral?

by Rémi Tremblay, Fédération des Québécois de Souche

Two weeks ago, the world's attention was turned towards Washington and New York with Trump's Inauguration Day and the many politically correct demonstrations and near riots surrounding the event. Women clamoring for abortion rights and unions arguing for more outsourcing managed to seize the cameras' attention for the rest of the week, not surprisingly as some of them were dressed as giant vaginas.

The Silent Majority — Interview with "Canadians for Donald Trump"

by Dorin Alexandru, English Literature student contributing to Ocean Drive

Who's the sucker here?

With over 7,000 followers and a recent interview on VICE, Canadians for Donald Trump have loyally stood by President Donald Trump's side since the beginning of his journey to the White House. Here at CEC our support for Mr. Trump is no secret. Election night was a long one for all of us, and with a peak interest in American politics, Canadians should ask themselves how we ought to move forward from here. And so, on the heels of victory, we sit down with Canadians for Donald Trump's spokesman Daniel Erikson to ask what lessons Canadian voters can learn from our American neighbors.

Justin Trudeau's Two Best Friends: Aga Khan and Ahmed Hussen

by Thomas Jones

Aga Kahn, or "The Magnificent Aga Kahn" as he self-identifies, or "His Highness" as Muslims call him, is now close liaison and financial secret supporter of Justin's mass immigration agenda

Recently at a town hall meeting in Calgary, our fearless leader, Mr. Current Year himself, was booed and met with hostile questions from the audience. Now granted this was in Calgary a city located in a province frequently condemned by the liberal elite in other provinces for supposedly being "far-right" and is often ridiculed for being filled with stupid, uneducated rednecks. Gosh I mean they are like Americans! Like oh my gaaawwd! However, Trudeau has been facing criticism from Canadians in general and even sympathetic sections more specifically.

Swinging Both Ways: In Justine's Post-National State the Options Are Endless

by Tim Murray

After having read a quote by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the effect that Islam's values are Canada's values, I thought I had met my quota of absurdity for the week. Then this came along.

What Did Trudeau Mean by Multicultural?

Whenever Canadians, from politicians to academics, are asked what makes their nation unique, they invariably answer "Canada's multiculturalism and diversity." Don't they know that Canada is now a dime a dozen, that almost all Western nations today identify themselves as uniquely multicultural? But it cannot be denied that Canada produced the first Western leader, Pierre Trudeau, who envisioned a constitutional framework, however vague, for the integration of multiple cultures within one nation-state.

The Left's Campaign to Dethrone Science

by Tim Murray

News item: Leftist Students Say Science Is Racist and Should Be Abolished. University of Cape Town Movement Says Witchcraft Is No Less Valid Than Isaac Newton's Theory of Gravity & Leftist Student-Activist: Science Is Racist and Should Be 'Decolonized'

I have heard a lot in recent years about "The Right's War on Science." The implication being, of course — that aside from their self-proclaimed moral superiority — Leftists are by contrast, rational, objective and enlightened beings who make and respect evidence-based arguments. Right-wingers, on the other hand, are climate-denying, Bible-punching evangelicals with a religious faith in classical economic theory and the invisible hand of the market place.

Donald J. Trump — 45th President of the United States

by Janice Fiamengo

The election of Donald J. Trump revealed a bitterly divided nation and a large body of voters fed up with the status quo: fed up with a perennially ailing economy and a shrinking middle class; fed up with an overly intrusive state that crippled businesses with innumerable regulations and sought to redistribute wealth; fed up with a massively burdensome and insupportable debt; fed up with a president mentored by revolutionaries and malcontents who seemed not to like ordinary Americans much if at all; fed up with a leader who paid court to hostile foreign powers while alienating or outright betraying America's traditional allies; fed up with a president who spoke of heartland Americans as bitter people who cling to their guns or religion or bigotry; fed up with a president who told business owners "You didn't build that," called the Fort Hood terrorist attack an episode of workplace violence, and announced at the United Nations that the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam; and most of all, perhaps, fed up with an administration that placed the whole country in thrall to political correctness, making a range of important subjects off-limits for discussion on pain of job loss or public disgrace.
