50 Ways to Lose Your Leader….

I loved the Michele Rempel commentary on why she has 8 reasons that there will be a Fall election in Canada and agree whole heartedly (https://www.todayville.com/8-reasons-an-alberta-mp-says-there-will-be-a-federal-election-this-fall/) , but want to add a few more reasons WHY a Trudeau-less (and Conservative ) Canadian government is far better for Canada.

Morals: Trudeau has been brought before the ethics commissioner. In the most recent case (WE), he prorogued parliament in order to stop any further investigation into Liberal corruption!
Corporate protectionism: While another case of ethics and political favoritism, SNC Lavalin has a long history of international bribery (convicted), support of prostitution, and insider influence, their support of the Liberal Party and Justin Trudeau cries graft the manner of which the Green Hornet would cringe at!
Ignoring of our veterans: Not so many years ago, Mr. Trudeau told a veteran that there was not enough money to increase pensions and benefits while the irregular immigrants streamed across the border with full benefits and hotel stays. When CERB was introduced, a small additional amount was approved for the disabled.
Ignoring Pensioners: Mismanagement of seniors pensions and benefits over the last 5 years.
Creating a 2-tier media system with the buyout of the main stream media while denying access to press conferences and information to those who ask tough questions.
Refusing to answer a meaningful question in the House of Parliament-accountability is the strength of a leader.
Shutting down the House of Parliament during a so-called-crisis to avoid debate and monitoring of Covid 19 measures
The incredible national deficit incurred since ‘sunny days’ have come to Canada
The failed effort to win a seat at the United Nations-and the expenses incurred that did nothing for the citizens of Canada.
The dismissal of Canada’s senior aboriginal elected official and her subsequent treatment by our Prime Minister
The sacrifice of Bill Morneau in an effort to save his own reputation and the method by which Trudeau and company managed the affair.
Canada Student Employment Grants: The inclusion of sexual orientation and abortion support as a condition of funding is disgraceful and the long-term cost of NOT having students work and gain experience is monumental.
Trudeau’s continual funding of Reproductive Choices (I e Planned Parenthood) around the world. It is clear from the Conservative Party leader election that pro-life is a strong Canadian element and we as a country should not support abortion worldwide as a choice.
Irregular immigration and the long-term cost and damage to Canadian society.
Weak leadership
Insignificant efforts to bring home our captive reporters in China.
Lack of decisiveness during the pipeline blockade across Canada.
The minimization of the oil industry across Canada in order to promote the UN policy of green energy at the cost of thousands of jobs in Alberta and Saskatchewan and the collapse of the Alberta Economy.
Continued support of the World Health Organization and politically driven agenda surrounding the Covid 19 Virus with funds and supplies.
Ignoring the reality of the statistics surrounding the Covid 19 virus and adjusting official responses to the decreasing threat with reduced measures. Poor leadership-a failing grade in statistical analysis.
Not acting on the BLM and Antifa Movements across Canada and treating them as domestic terrorists by allowing the military to remove protests.
Canada’s falling international reputation due to Trudeau’s lack of leadership and integrity.
Trudeau’s pending criminal charges on ethics, pedophilia (Norm Traversy) and corruption. No criminal should lead our country.
His lack of leadership credentials and experience were not sufficient to prepare him for his present role and he should not have been allowed to be PM, NEVER! Drama classes prepare you for drama, not leadership.
Merely scolding those responsible for destruction of historic statues across Canada and not charging them for Vandalism is not leadership but rather permission by tongue lashing. Enable our police to find and force them to be accountable for their actions.
His insistence that Canada has NO culture is a sign that despite his residency in Canada, his family history in Canada has no part in his future. Being leader of any country requires your loyalty TO that country first and foremost!
With suspected ties to globalist groups, Trudeau and his acting Prime Minisiter (Freeland) both clearly dance to a different tune, the UN and their declarations being just one of them. Canada first. FIRST.
During this last year, the failure of the Canadian Government to back the CFL, our premier sports league, with guarantees and potential grants so they can build community and develop athletes across Canada was very disappointing. It is sad that the NHL and other leagues have been able to operate. Shame on you!

This is only a partial list, but along with many other circumstances and experiences, it is time to remove Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party from leadership of Canada. I firmly believe that his time as Prime Minister will be seen by the future as our worst moment and he will be seen as our worst Prime Minister.

While there are not 50 items here, we have seen Prime Ministers fall for as little as one minor senate scandal, yet we continue to see our present government stumble, fall, collapse and then wake up to start over again seemingly like nothing has happened.

Democracy is people in action. Voting, running, thinking and more importantly being accountable for our actions.

Let us pray that we are granted a leader with morals and the strength to stand up for the truth to every global movement, elite led or not!

Boulder attack suspect said he had no regrets, would ‘do it again’

The man charged in Sunday’s terrorist attack in Boulder told law enforcement that he had no regrets for his actions and would “do it again” if released.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national illegally in the country, is being held in the Boulder County Jail on a $10 million bond.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the attack at Tuesday’s White House briefing, calling Soliman a “monster” and the attack “pure evil.”

Soliman had long premeditated the attack at Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, authorities said at a press conference on Monday.

“He had been planning this attack for a year,” said Acting U.S. Attorney J. Bishop Grewell for the District of Colorado. “He acted because he hated what he called ‘the Zionist group.’”

The attack started at 1:26 p.m. when multiple people were set on fire during a pro-Israel event organized by Run for Their Lives, an organization that advocates for the return of Israeli hostages from Gaza.

“Witnesses reported that the suspect used a makeshift flame thrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd,” the FBI stated. “The suspect was also heard to yell ‘Free Palestine’ during the attack.”

Twelve people were injured, with two remaining in the hospital, as of Monday evening.

The criminal complaint filed on Monday by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado alleges that the attack could have been much worse.

“At least fourteen unlit Molotov cocktails and a backpack weed sprayer, potentially containing a flammable substance, were found nearby,” a press release from the attorney’s office stated.

It also stated that Soliman told law enforcement that “he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.”

The city of Boulder released a statement on Monday calling it a “targeted, antisemitic attack.”

“We are united in condemning this hateful act of terror against Jewish people,” it said. “We understand that for our Jewish community, dread and insecurity, backed by a history of persecution, are all too familiar. We cannot – and will not – allow antisemitism to become normalized here.”

Soliman was arrested at the scene and now faces multiple felony charges, including a federal hate crime charge involving actual or perceived race, religion, or national origin. If convicted on all charges, Soliman faces hundreds of years in jail.

Multiple law enforcement agencies are working together on the investigation and to bring charges against Soliman.

“What you see here today is us standing shoulder to shoulder, ensuring that justice is done in response to this tragic and terrible attack,” said 20th Judicial District Attorney Michael Dougherty on Monday. “We are united in our commitment, both at the federal level and the state level, in pursuing and securing justice for the victims of this mass attack and for the communities that we serve.”

DEI programs to promote diversity actually breed hostility in schools, businesses: study

Published on January 8, 2025

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion programs are billed as making society more tolerant, compassionate, and harmonious but actually have the opposite effect, according to a recent study by Rutgers University’s Network Contagion Research Institute

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs are billed as making society more tolerant, compassionate, and harmonious but actually increase hostility in workplace and educational settings, according to a recent study.

The study, by Rutgers University’s Network Contagion Research Institute, focused on “diversity training interventions that emphasize awareness of and opposition to ‘systemic oppression,’” which has “seen widespread adoption across sectors like higher education and healthcare.” It was conducted by exposing 423 Rutgers students to influential DEI training materials authored by far-left activists like Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, then surveying their reactions.

“Across all groupings (race, religion, and caste-based), instead of reducing bias, they engendered a hostile attribution bias,” the researchers found, “amplifying perceptions of prejudicial hostility where none was present, and punitive responses to the imaginary prejudice.”

“This research raises critical questions about how many individuals, as a result of these programs, have experienced undue duress, social ostracization, or even termination of employment,” said the researchers, who called for further research into “the potential for a far broader scope of harm than previously considered.”

“Importantly, the intervention did not produce any measurable change in warmth or coldness towards persons of color,” the report noted. “Educational materials from some of the most well published and well-known DEI scholars not only failed to positively enhance interracial attitudes, they provoked baseless suspicion and encouraged punitive attitudes.”

Kendi dismissed the findings as “pseudoscience” that “will end up in the historic landfill,” and likened it to attempts to give “scientific legitimacy to racist propaganda” for slavery and against civil rights.

But the findings align with widespread beliefs that “woke” efforts to see all aspects of society through identity-based lenses and root out presumed “systemic” bigotry, generations after achieving full equality for both sexes and every race, are more likely to foster division and resentment by keeping old wounds open and attributing prejudiced motivations where none exist.

More than 30 states have introduced legislation eliminating DEI programs from education as part of a broader push against so-called “woke ideology” spearheaded by Republicans such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Conservatives have long criticized DEI and other forms of identity politics for stoking rather than curing division and focusing education toward left-wing political indoctrination at the expense of learning.

Last year, insiders from the University of California-Los Angeles’ (UCLA’s) prestigious David Geffen School of Medicine warned that the school’s diversity fixation had led to a crisis in which more than half of students in various cohorts admitted since 2020 fail standardized tests for basic medical knowledge of subjects ranging from emergency medicine and family medicine to internal medicine and pediatrics.

Political and customer backlashes to such activism has translated to business woes for companies such as Disney, Bud Light, and Target. Former President Donald Trump’s defeat in November of outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House has also been seen by many as further evidence of the general public rejecting woke ideology, signaling to corporations and activists alike the lack of popular receptiveness to such projects.

McDonald’s, Walmart, Jack Daniel’s, John Deere, Tractor Supply, Lowe’s, Toyota, and Coors have all dropped “woke” corporate policies over the past several months in response to public pressure.
