A whole generation of children is going through an education system that openly advocates for decolonization, that actively seeks to ‘decentre’ western knowledge systems, and that teaches kids the land they stand on isn’t theirs. This is just one of the public domains in which

Excellent debut essay in @WDiminishment by @Margare7a: “The decolonial-abolitionist strain of reconciliation dissolves our civic culture and erodes the very legitimacy of the Crown’s authority to govern, while the sheer scale of mass immigration overwhelms the state’s capacity
A state that believes it has no legitimate culture of its own loses the moral standing to make any demands of newcomers, I argue in my essay for @WDiminishment, up now. https://t.co/m6ASf7DVMw

Margareta is a tremendous talent, and we’re pleased to offer her safe harbour on her based journey. Enjoy the terrific long read, and give her a follow. Very much one to watch if this is your introduction.

A nation of immigrants, stripped of any core identity, is no nation at all, but a hollow shell without inheritance, history, or customs. Thankfully, that is not yet Canada. The claim that every Canadian is an immigrant doesn't hold up, neither historically nor legally.

The new Pattullo should have been built to open with six lanes on day 1, with capability to expand to eight lanes with minor mods in future. Spending $1.7 Billion to replace a 4 lane bridge in a rapidly growing metro region, with another 4 lane bridge, makes no sense at all.
Here's what drivers can expect as the $1.6 billion Pattullo Bridge replacement (finally) nears completion https://t.co/2td4saeB1r

The other week, federal MP @taleeb Noormohamed said “unless you’re indigenous, we’re all immigrants.” This piece by @GeoffRuss3 in @WDiminishment explains why takes like these are not just asinine but toxic. Simply put, if you were born and raised in Canada, you are not an

The left's brazen takeover of our children's education, by @NVanCaroline

A well-rounded education includes teaching children -- from a position of ideological neutrality -- how they might challenge existing knowledge. Instead, we're seeing an activist agenda.

The only comfort is that the cool kids apparently think this is stupid too. Check out @NVanCaroline's latest for @WDiminishment on the leftist takeover of public education. https://t.co/QmXwM4G05o

While I’m on the subject of the pervasiveness of leftist ideology in our institutions, check out this example from our courts: Here’s yet another judge saying a murderer’s race makes him less responsible for killing an unarmed man & imposing a lighter sentence as a result.

Has progressive ideology really permeated our education system? Well, our kids are being told by the BC government to apply an ‘anti-racist lens’ to… Physics 12 and Pre-Calculus 12 👀 And there’s more. Read my latest in @WDiminishment: https://t.co/PPlNxjI71l

Absolute 🔥 from @jk_rowling. We bought tickets the day they came out & my kids are SO excited to experience the magical world of Harry Potter. They’ve even got their Harry and Hermione costumes ready to go! 🪄 That there are zealots who wanted to shut down this joyous event
To be honest, I didn't even know Vancouver Parks and Recreations had avowed me, so the disavowal hasn't been much of a blow. Next time, send me a certificate of avowal, wait until I've proudly framed it, hung it over my PC and taken a selfie with it, THEN revoke it.

In this latest episode of 'Not “Sorry"', host Alexander Brown pulls no punches as he exposes BC Premier David Eby as the single greatest threat to Canada and a so-called ‘Team Canada’ vision.
Alexander Brown, Director of the NCC, is joined by Dr. Caroline Elliott — a prominent common-sense voice from the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy and the Public Land Use Society — to break down how regulatory overreach and the NDP’s secretive land deals are eroding

The BC NDP's new legislative amendments will "require meetings to be closed during negotiations with First Nations or other local governments." How about more transparency, not less.

Involuntary treatment is not a moderate solution, but who can look at the Downtown Eastside and think anything short of a radical strategy will save its people and the neighbourhood itself? Once the necessary treatment facilities are built, the disaster on the DTES could be
