I have written many times and in many ways about my general support for the values and freedoms that we enjoy in the western world. Our politics and morals stem largely from the European values of the 1600's and 1700's; this is, after all, the time frame in which the settlers from the European continent and England came to the Americas en mass and began the process of building a whole new society. The politics of the European continent and England, in turn, find their roots in ancient Greece and Rome with Christian ethics put in place of the ethics and morals that were practiced as a result of the worship of the ancient pantheon of pagan gods. One has to bury not only their head but their shoulders and torso in the sand if they choose to ignore the very basic and irrefutable fact that western civilization is based and founded on Christian mores, which in turn are founded on Judaism and God's Law. If we look all the way back to the beginning of the Old Testament, we see tha...

This is a part two of my previous article which looked at the political landscape of Canada and the ways in which the Liberal government manipulates the minds and hearts of their supporters in order to hold on to that support, and briefly touched on the difficulty that the Conservative Party will have in breaking that mental and emotional hold. I would encourage you to read that article before you read this one. As I was writing that article, I ended up going off on a tangential thought, and by following that I built a foundation of this article that you are reading now. While my previous article was a look at the political landscape as it stands now, this article will look at the spiritual landscape of the current political climate, not only in Canada, but in the U.S. as well, and arguably around the world. I expended quite a few words on explaining how I view modern politics in the dichotomy of left and right leaning ideologies, but, and I want to be very clear on this point, the g...

 It may be that I am a little slow on the uptake, and it is possible that you figured this out long ago. I think I always knew this somewhere in the back of my brain, but the pieces really clicked into place just this morning when I was thinking about a recent announcement by the Liberal government of Canada. Yesterday morning, I read that Minster Francois-Philippe Champagne was going to announce that the gas tax vacation that the Liberal government enacted in April and which was slated to end on September 7, was going to be extended until January 31, 2027. This program offered $0.10 per litre of tax relief on regular unleaded gasoline and $0.04 per litre on diesel, among breaks on some other fuels. The media praised Mark Carney for this move originally, and extols his virtues now with the extension. But wait...wasn't this initially an idea presented by Pierre Poillievre? Why yes, yes it was. On April 2, 2026, Pierre Poillievre began calling for the immediate suspension of the GST...

If you pay any attention to world events, you should have realized by now that western civilization is moving in a downward spiral. Historically, it has been the western world that has driven scientific, engineering, medical, social and really all other advances in humanity. We see other areas of the world and other cultures try to claim credit, particularly Islam, but a simple examination of the countries in which these other cultures originate shows us the truth. In the case of Islam, most of the countries in which Islam is the national religion are among the oldest countries in the world, yet their infrastructure, their medical services, their very seats of governance are far behind the refinement of western countries with much younger civilizations. This is not to say that western countries have it all together. But considering the youth of western civilization, it is impressive what has been accomplished over those centuries. But the western world is beginning to collapse upon it...
