‘Secret’ RCMP memo blames everyone but the Liberals for Canada’s misery

This is, of course, about Canada’s Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, a man whom the left has tried to turn into a Super Trump since the day he stood up against COVID totalitarianism.

According to the National Post, a “secret” RCMP report that warns of a potential revolt by Canadians, once “they realize how broke they are,” has been unearthed by way of an access to information request.

The report begins: “A secret RCMP report is warning the federal government that Canada may descend into civil unrest once citizens realize the hopelessness of their economic situation.”

Now, before we get into the meat of the supposed predictions, I think we would be wise to look at the information with a certain interpretive key. Keep in mind that the RCMP has become a Liberal Party institution, and we needn’t look any further for proof of that than the disgraced former RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki, who was appointed by Trudeau and subsequently gave him a run for his money with how many scandals she was caught up in.

COVID, Russia, and climate change destroying the world

The report — heavily redacted and embedded at the bottom of the article — starts with a stunning statement. It reads: “The global community has experienced a series of crises, with COVID-19, supply-chain issues, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine all sending shockwaves throughout the world.” It goes on to say that the situation will “probably” get worse and the “early effects of climate change and a global recession” will only add fuel to the fire of the deterioration of Canada and the global community.

Note that this striking claim is presented as fact, without proof or evidence, and is the leading thought of the document. The report goes on to say: “The coming period of recession will … accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations.” It adds that “many Canadians under 35 are unlikely ever to be able to buy a place to live.”

So, the theme of the document is that the world, and Canada in particular, is going to hell in a hand-basket, and the reasons for that are primarily COVID, Russia, the climate, and not the government. How convenient! After almost a decade of Trudeau, a report surfaces when his popularity is in the sewer that blames everyone but him for the deciding state of the country he has done his best to ruin.

Karl Marx and the conspiracy nuts

Tellingly, after hammering home the dire situation on the horizon — where it will be if the Liberals have their way — the document predicts that the coming dark age will be accelerated by “popular resentment” and “paranoid populism.”

Now, any astute reader of the news with right-leaning sensibilities will understand what those terms mean. “Popular resentment” is a dog whistle for a Marxist worldview that pits groups of people against one another in a “struggle” for prosperity. “Paranoid populism” is an abbreviation of “People who are involved in populist movements, like Donald Trump — and by extension Poilievre — supporters, are paranoid conspiracy nuts.”

The popular resentment section reads: “The fallout from this decline in living standards will be exacerbated by the fact that the difference between the extremes of wealth is greater now… than it has been at any time in several generations.”

Translation: The rich are lording over the poor, and the poor are poorer than they ever have been. Of course, there is some truth to this, as there is always truth to this in human society where there are always “haves” and “have nots.”

The section on paranoid populism then tellingly implies that those afflicted by populist paranoia will pounce on this struggle. It reads: “Capitalizing on the rise of political polarization and conspiracy theories have been populists willing to tailor their messages to appeal to extremist movements. Authoritarian movements have been on the rise…”

Amazing. According to this report, we are living in a Marxist moment where the proletariat is struggling for their survival against the bourgeoisie, and the real threat is the rise of a populist movement which appeals to extremists with conspiracy theories. Again, a liberal institution will put the blame for the apocalypse on anyone but liberals.

This is really about Poilievre

Now, if you were a betting man, who do you think the document is referring to, given that it is a Canadian document that has been conveniently released just when the Conservatives have threatened to topple the government with a non-confidence motion? This is, of course, about Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, a man whom the left has tried to turn into a Super Trump since the day he stood up against COVID totalitarianism. Poilievre is far from a right-wing Christian hero — he holds views incompatible with Christian morality — but he is still enough of a populist and common-sense politician that he represents a mortal threat to the regime.

Is the Canadian economic situation bleak? Yes. Will it take a lot of work and common-sense governance to turn things around? Of course. And, again, Poilievre is not the savior, but the man can at least do proper math and understands what the average Canadian is struggling with. If he enacts any of his red tape removing policies, surely Canada will be able to start recovering. The Liberals cannot abide this, as they clearly want to destroy this nation.

It is clear by this point that the Liberal Party will be decimated in the next election, whenever that is, as every poll imaginable has them losing so many seats that they will be able to drive to work together in an airport shuttle van. And, since liberals are incapable of self-reflection and critical thinking, their only hope in their hopeless situation is to sound the alarm of the coming Canadian Armageddon and warn Canadians that it is everyone but they who are to blame, and the opposition will only burn the country down faster than a wildfire that was caused by conservative disbelief in climate change.

For my money, this “secret” document is nothing but a piece of propaganda from a desperate regime.

New report warns WHO health rules erode Canada’s democracy and Charter rights

Published on

Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has released a new report titled Canada’s Surrender of Sovereignty: New WHO health regulations undermine Canadian democracy and Charter freedoms. Authored by Nigel Hannaford, a veteran journalist and researcher, the report warns that Canada’s acceptance of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) revised International Health Regulations (IHR) represents a serious erosion of national independence and democratic accountability.

The IHR amendments, which took effect on September 19, 2025, authorize the WHO Director-General to declare global “health emergencies” that could require Canada to follow directives from bureaucrats in Geneva, bypassing the House of Commons and the will of Canadian voters.

The WHO regards these regulations as “binding,” despite having no ability or legal authority to impose such regulations. Even so, Canada is opting to accept the regulations as binding.

By accepting the WHO’s revised IHR, the report explains, Canada has relinquished its own control over future health crises and instead has agreed to let the WHO determine when a “pandemic emergency” exists and what Canada must do to respond to it, after which Canada must report back to the WHO.

In fact, under these International Health Regulations, the WHO could demand countries like Canada impose stringent freedom-violating health policies, such as lockdowns, vaccine mandates, or travel restrictions without debate, evidence review, or public accountability, the report explains.

Once the WHO declares a “Pandemic Emergency,” member states are obligated to implement such emergency measures “without delay” for a minimum of three months.

Importantly, following these WHO directives would undermine government accountability as politicians may hide behind international “commitments” to justify their actions as “simply following international rules,” the report warns.

Canada should instead withdraw from the revised IHR, following the example of countries like Germany, Austria, Italy, Czech Republic, and the United States. The report recommends continued international cooperation without surrendering control over domestic health policies.

Constitutional lawyer Allison Pejovic said, “[b]y treating WHO edicts as binding, the federal government has effectively placed Canadian sovereignty on loan to an unelected international body.”

“Such directives, if enforced, would likely violate Canadians’ Charter rights and freedoms,” she added.

Mr. Hannaford agreed, saying, “Canada’s health policies must be made in Canada. No free and democratic nation should outsource its emergency powers to unelected bureaucrats in Geneva.”

The Justice Centre urges Canadians to contact their Members of Parliament and demand they support withdrawing from the revised IHR to restore Canadian sovereignty and reject blind compliance with WHO directives.

Minus Forty and the Myth of Easy Energy

Published on

It’s not about ideology at  forty degrees below zero. It’s about survival

When the thermometer plunges to forty below, ideology no longer matters. Survival does.

That lesson was driven home in January 2024, when a brutal cold snap swept across America’s Pacific Northwest and western Canada. For four days, the region’s interconnected energy system teetered on the brink of collapse. Power lines snapped, gas pipelines strained, and four states of emergency were declared. In Portland, a falling power line killed three people and injured a baby.

This was no ordinary winter storm. It quickly became known as the January 2024 Event – a capital-letter crisis that planners are still analyzing nearly two years later. As recently as August 2025, experts continued to hold panels to ask the same question: how did the grid survive? Their verdict is grim.

Hydropower, long the Northwest’s reliable backup, faltered. Wind turbines stood still as the winds died at exactly the wrong time. Solar panels offered little under heavy gray skies. Natural gas supplied about two-thirds of the energy as furnaces worked around the clock – but even gas has limits.

The Real Problem: Capacity, Not Cold

Here’s the twist: post-event analysis shows the real problem wasn’t the cold. It was demand growth colliding with a system stripped of firm capacity. The cold snap may not have been unprecedented, but the risks were, BC Hydro’s Powerex reported.

They also warned that fashionable fixes like batteries and pumped hydro aren’t the cavalry many hope for. These technologies can even worsen shortages by competing for scarce electricity when it’s needed most. One Alberta utility estimated it would take a battery bigger than 13 years of the world’s entire EV battery output to cover its customers’ electricity needs for those few days.

Meanwhile, the renewables lobby was left scrambling for answers. Investigations by ProPublica and Oregon Public Broadcasting highlighted the obvious: Oregon and Washington had set “100% green” targets without solving the transmission bottlenecks needed to deliver that power. Instead of addressing the flaw, advocates doubled down, calling for more wind, more solar, more batteries without any credible plan for the impossibly large quantities required.

And so, in the depths of that frigid January, reality intruded. Gas-fired generation carried the essential load. Imports were pulled in. Utilities called for conservation, and households responded. System operators dug deep, showing remarkable resilience under pressure. Heroic efforts kept the lights on. But it should never have come to that.

The lesson is not that renewables are bad or that we should cling to the past. It is that energy policy must begin with humility. Weather is unpredictable. In a cross-border region of 26 million people, demand is also growing much faster than once forecast.

A Wake-Up Call Ignored

When lives are on the line, nothing replaces firm, dispatchable power. A balanced system – yes, with more renewables, but anchored by natural gas and supported by robust transmission – is essential. Pretending we can run an advanced economy on press releases and hope is how ideology masquerades as policy, and how families end up shivering in the dark.

The January 2024 event should have been a wake-up call. Yet too many leaders remain captivated by slogans and blind to physics. The grid doesn’t read legislation. It doesn’t listen to speeches. It responds only to supply, demand, and the weather. And when the weather turns deadly, the reckoning is swift.

Dreamers will keep promising a painless transition. British Columbia, for example, is shutting down domestic gas generation in what’s branded a “pivot” to renewables – even as the province ships its first LNG cargoes to a world hungry for reliable gas. At the same time, the explosive growth of data centres driven by artificial intelligence has experts agog at what this means for an already strained system.

Eighteen months after the event, the people we expect to have answers are still asking questions.

Questions Still Unanswered

Here’s one more: is our energy system’s fragility the result of wishful thinking colliding with reality? To many experts, the answer seems obvious.

At minus forty, there is no spin, no ideology—only survival.

If Canada and the Northwest want to avoid a repeat of January 2024, the path is clear: double down on reliability, build the neglected transmission, and keep firm power in the system. Because the next deep freeze—or heat wave—will not wait for us to get our politics straight.
