Our political system has been hijacked by extremists with the full support of those in power - I'm looking at you LPC! Burn a church, block a train, block a highway, destroy pipeline construction equipment, support Hamas or other terrorist group and our left wing leadership (the Lawrentian elites and the education system) all claim it is 'justified' and 'understandable'. But, protest government vaccine mandates, dare to question the 'experts', question LPC ties to China, Chinese interference in elections or the presence of their 'police stations' and you are a left wing extremist, a misogynist and the Emergencies Act will be invoked and your bank accounts frozen.
The example you cite and the issue of a LPC candidate encouraging the kidnaping of a CPC candidate so as to earn a reward from the Chinese embassy are just the latest examples of how far we have swung to the left lunacy. I wish I could tell the Jewish community that they have my support and that of the majority of Canadians, and I believe (perhaps hope is a better word) that they do.
We are at a crossroads in Canada and if we do not replace the LPC with a new CPC government then we are doomed to further disrespect for the rule of law in Canada let alone the destruction of our once proud and wonderful country.
My only disagreement is with your comment saying the Floyd protestscwere warranted. They were not. The selective burning and destruction of America was not a reasonable response to his arrest, detention or death.
Yes, the statement could be interpreted as supporting the view that black suspects are murdered by white police officers as an everyday occurrence out of racial animus. Black suspects may be treated more roughly by white cops — they do seem to be less constitutionally able to submit to arrest and their resistance leads more often to escalation — but the idea that they are more likely than white suspects to die in the process is just untrue. Roland Fryer (who is black) studied this before the black cabal at Harvard high-sticked him.
The George Floyd case proved that white cops (and cops of other races, including black) don’t get away with murdering black suspects. The orgy of violence that followed was fully as unjustified as Canada’s church burnings and far more extensive.
Injecting George Floyd into any political discussion, such as taking a knee for him, does no one any good.
First, from US Census bureau, approx. 75% of US residents are white, 15% are black.
From Statista, 2024 #s, 385 whites shot by police, 248 black. Nowhere near same ratio of 75:15.
Second, "seem to be less constitutionally able to submit to arrest" WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??? Painting an entire race as hooligans with some sort of inuendo based comment? "SEEM TO BE"??
Third, the George Floyd proves ONLY that those particular cops were unable to get away with a crime, mostly due to the protests that follow. There have been numerous stories since of deaths with questionable circumstances, each side making different claims.
Race relations in the US, as in so many other places, leave a lot to be desired. Police conduct, in the US, is far from the ideal "To Serve and Protect" that it should be, as is the case in so many other places as well.
Was the violence and destruction of some of the protests warranted? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
But then, in my opinion, neither was the glib way your statement tried to minimize the situation.
You have to adjust for criminality, as Fryer did. Black people commit many more crimes per capita and therefore attract the attention of police more often than other folks do. Adjusted for police contact, the likelihood that a black suspect will be shot to death during a police interaction is no higher than for whites.
My point applies to black people who attract the attention of police, not a whole race. The underclass is a small percentage, but it is almost entirely black. Black boys are taught by older gang members, who stand in for absent fathers, that they should resist because otherwise the police will surely shoot them, a self-fulfilling prophecy if ever there was one. Yet miraculously they only rarely do get shot. Maybe it’s the Ferguson effect, and now the Floyd effect. The cops don’t care anymore and the paperwork after a gunshot, not to mention the risk of prison, isn’t worth it. Just let the dude go.
When you watch the whole video of the George Floyd arrest, which started long before Derek Chauvin showed up, you find yourself thinking, “Geez, if Floyd had just let the first two cops cuff him and put him in the cruiser he’d be alive today.” Well, maybe not still alive today, but he wouldn’t have died on the street that day.
It would be better if Canadians stopped hectoring the U.S. about something we don’t understand — the legacy of slavery — and just stuck to fixing our own problems with indigenous relations where we have six times the expertise as they do, going by the relative proportion of indigenous people in our two countries.
Even in a scuffle where the suspect is unarmed, there is always at least one gun in play: the officer’s. He must try to subdue the suspect while trying to keep the suspect from getting to the officer’s gun. If he thinks the suspect is likely to overpower him and get his gun, he will have to draw first and shoot the “unarmed” suspect. Also, some unarmed suspects were trying to run over the police officer with their cars (often stolen) when they were shot.
Agreed, unvaccinated people were demonized however, BLM was A ok & they had carte Blanche to do whatever TF they wanted. No 6 feet social distancing required for BLM Protests. In many cases they burned down African American businesses & I believe Trudeau said it was understandable that they would burn down Christian churches same as the Mass Graves fiasco. 🤦
As one of his few acts before calling the election, Carney sends $100 million of our money to Gaza. In other words, to Hamas. Anyone who votes Liberal in this election is supporting this garbage. The fact that it seems to be a vote-getter is appalling. Let's fix our immigration system to bring less of this sentiment into Canada.
Sir, it’s well past enough is enough. It’s past time we tolerate an imported conflict and racism. If Gaza and that point of view is critical to their existence, go fight. The wink and nudge to tolerate antisemitism exposes the rot in the fabric that was once Canada . If you cannot abide western values , please find a place where your values align, even if it’s a level of Hell.
I listen to the briefing by MIGS, Wesley Wark and the others seemed to agree the government has not done enough and specifically that lack of transparency and not taking action were key failures. The ties between Carney and PRC are impossible to ignore. It’s weird, the way that Carney, who wrote about sedition regarding the freedom convoy, has not addressed Hamasnazism in our streets and targeting diaspora communities.
I would call it predictably despicable Liberal “voter efficiency”. It is a numbers game wherein the Hamas folks apparently vote Liberal and outnumber the Jewish people by a huge ratio, and the Freedom Convoy folks were/are not Liberal voters. There are no morals involved in the Liberal actions, words, or silence. What I don’t understand is why Jewish people would vote for the Liberal Party of Canada or the NDP.
Thank you for this. Nothing I can disagree with. I am utterly fed up with the lack of reporting on the ongoing pro Hamas, Jew loathing protests, no matter how big or small they are. . The differing treatment for these protesters is a national disgrace, as is the official tolerance verging on encouragement at times.
The average Canadian does not seem aware that there was an official inquiry into the convoy and the handling of it.
Trudeau had his hands smacked hard with criticism by the Judge for the using of the EA and for the dreadfully undemocratic shutting down of innocent Canadians’ bank accounts..
The inquiry was sadly very under reported by the media. . . unless I missed a lot.
I feel sure it is because the conclusions were disappointing to our media, which has for decades gone easy on the Liberal Party.
Again, Terry smacks us cold in the face with realism. No, I like you Mr. Glavin, am unwilling to have a costumed Hamas know nothing parade by my door. For sure, stay out of my grandchild's face- better yet school.
(Guest column by Casey Babb - but I agree that dressing as a Hamas terrorist is unacceptable and, surely, grounds for arrest. If only for ‘conduct likely to occasion a Breach of the Peace’!)
Canada has a “selective extremism problem”. There are thousands of problems in this fraught world, and Israel/Palestine is but one of them. But for perhaps a billion of the world’s people it is the only problem. This is odd, because many of these people come from poor, violent and disorganized places. But Israel is all they see
We Canadians have become so complacent! We should be demanding that the government label these demonstrators as terrorists and demand that they are removed from our streets. Unfortunately, these demonstrations are extremely well organized. They have managed to indoctrinate many of our young people who feel no remorse in repeating the ridiculous hate filled chants. The government does and says nothing and as a result the police act as body guards for the protesters. I agree the LPC needs to be voted out and the CPC needs to be voted in but it’s not looking to promising right now. I’m really hoping for a positive bump in the polls for the Conservatives. I know they will have the backs of the Jewish population in Canada.
Terry keep shining a very bright light on the CCP’s foreign interference on our elections. This needs to stop! Full stop!
Canada needs a robust foreign interference act with teeth. Make it a law with criminal consequences for the individuals supporting any foreign government. It is truly shameful that Canada’s China business council and the individuals supporting this group are silently supporting the Chinese Communist Party, to the detriment of ordinary Canadians. Asking the question why has the government of Canada not acted on this issue only leaves one answer - capture by foreign governments.
Someone is always getting paid - Who’s getting paid?
China is not our friend! They’ve just executed 4 Canadian citizens. This is the same government who arbitrarily imprisoned the 2 Michael’s. Anything the US / Trump is doing is small potatoes compared to the CCP’s influence on Canadian society.
The media is not doing enough to show how diaspora groups, especially Chinese Canadians are being influencing to vote for candidates supporting China’s ambitions. Follow the money, follow the political power, follow the connections, between business, government and foreign governments influence.
Terry, keep up the great writing. Canadian’s need to understand the risks we are silently accepting.
I agree wholeheartedly with Babb... but now what? I've written to politicians and had endless conversations with anyone who'll speak to me and shouted from the rooftops and argued with useful idiots and shared well-written articles and tried to shine light on the darkness and filth that is Islamism and its woke Marxists tagalongs and I am fed up with the state of this country. Enough is enough, and I won't take it anymore either.
... But then what??? What do we do now? What is the next step that you propose to get Canada out of the gutter? I don't want to leave. But if it keeps going this way, Canada has no future.
Why do we have to be constantly on the defensive, explaining to other Canadians (as if it weren't painfully obvious) how dangerous these people and their hateful ideologies are? How are we put in a position to explain and defend? That already means we're losing. Having to defend our ideals against their bullshit means their argument has merit. We should reject their murderous, hate-filled jihadist rants from the get go and make them understand that their views are incompatible with this country.
Many lines have been crossed, without consequences, and it increasingly feels like Canada has become a non-fiction episode of the Twilight Zone. I couldn't agree more with Mr. Babb but adding my own indignant comment seems such a pointless exercise. When this behaviour is no longer tolerated by the public and it's institutions, as I see it, occurs when academia and mainstream media begin to strenuously condemn it. I dont see a Carney government advocating for that desperately needed change.
My theory is Crown counsel was always disinclined to prosecute, and at some point it occurred to the A-G that to proceed to court would eventually mean having to entertain similar charges against half the damn social sciences faculties in the province.
I live in BC.She is allowed a pretty free life, odious as she is. She deserves jail time for her spewing of hate since 7 October. I do hope she does spend some time in jail.. yet it is appalling how many agree with her really monstrous ideology.
The speculation was, I think, that they cancelled the hearing that was supposed to happen on Oct. 8, 2024 because it might make for bad press ahead of the Oct. 19 BC election. Then on Oct. 15 Canada declared Samidoun a terrorist organization, and the latest news I can find on Kates is that she was arrested at her home in Vancouver on or about Nov. 14, 2024, and then promptly released again. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-hate-crimes-arrest-1.7383796 Doesn't tell us much. Perhaps it was just a "token" arrest because of Samidoun now being deemed a terrorist org, and the police had to make a show of knowing where she lived, at least?
Yes, I totally agree. I'm in Alberta separatist and I want for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren to live in the Republic of Alberta, plus Saskatchewan and Manitoba and the Peace River Country in British Columbia and the Yukon, and I wanted to be a country where freedom of speech is written in stone in the constitution, but also that calling for the destruction of another Nation or another ethnic group is punishable by imprisonment, and if the perpetrator is an immigrant, they are defenestrated forthwith. My family has been in Canada since 1804, but the founding principles, is imperfect as they were have been completely obliterated. Canada cannot be fixed.
But I also agree with one of the other commentators that the George Floyd riots were completely unfounded, and in fact the autopsy shows that George Floyd did not die because he could not breathe, but because he was loaded with drugs and had severe health issues from previous drug use. But the authorities were afraid of a not guilty verdict, and they have been afraid of the riots if the case was reopened and justice was done. It looks like Donald Trump may pardon Derek Chauvin, and that would be a good thing, before he is murdered in prison.

Not a Canadian problem. We’ve got enough of our own.
Completely disagree. I wasn’t aware that BLM got stopped at the border.

What are the stats on those being shot, both black and white, were armed with illegal weapons?
Even in a scuffle where the suspect is unarmed, there is always at least one gun in play: the officer’s. He must try to subdue the suspect while trying to keep the suspect from getting to the officer’s gun. If he thinks the suspect is likely to overpower him and get his gun, he will have to draw first and shoot the “unarmed” suspect. Also, some unarmed suspects were trying to run over the police officer with their cars (often stolen) when they were shot.
Dan, I don't know about weapons.
Does it really matter?
The same imbalance in numbers is evident in prison populations. So it's not just a matter of when police pull and discharge their weapons.
It was in the US. Why would Trudeau think he should respond?
Never let a photo-op go to wasted.
Agreed, unvaccinated people were demonized however, BLM was A ok & they had carte Blanche to do whatever TF they wanted. No 6 feet social distancing required for BLM Protests.

"Unjustified" by Ray McGinnis is about the Freedom Convoy. I bought the book as a way to support the right to protest in Canada.

Sigh. Help me out here. I'm tired.
All I can say is , you are not alone. Also I find it helps to keep in mind the motto the late Jimmy Hoffa had on his desk.
Many lines have been crossed, without consequences, and it increasingly feels like Canada has become a non-fiction episode of the Twilight Zone.

Unfortunately, I agree that with a Carney government, this would not be a high priority!
2 million + Canadian Muslims, 350,000 Canadian Jews. Liberals may have no principles but they do have math skills and understand voter efficiency.
Whatever happened with Samidoun activist Charlotte Kates? Is the B.C. Prosecution Service still pondering whether Section 319 is applicable in her case? Reference: https://therealstory.substack.com/p/pandering-to-hamas-supporters Oct. 9, 2024.

Exhibit A on how messed up things are in Canada with the Freakshow that is Charlotte Kates.
Yes, I totally agree. I'm in Alberta separatist and I want for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren to live in the Republic of Alberta, plus Saskatchewan and Manitoba and the Peace River Country in British Columbia and the Yukon, and I wanted to be a country where freedom of speech is written in stone in the constitution, but also that calling for the destruction of another Nation or another ethnic group is punishable by imprisonment, and if the perpetrator is an immigrant, they are defenestrated forthwith. My family has been in Canada since 1804, but the founding principles, is imperfect as they were have been completely obliterated. Canada cannot be fixed.

It looks like Donald Trump may pardon Derek Chauvin, and that would be a good thing, before he is murdered in prison.
If that happens I am moving. To Alberta!
But I have hope that NT will be included!
Which isn’t to say I want Canada to fail. I don’t. But my wants and feelings are not likely to mean much to the feeble leaders of this country.
Thank you, Casey Babb; and thank you, Terry for having Casey as a guest.
