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...

  Image of the invasion force at Ceuta, Spain - August 2026 Have you been paying attention? Most people don't. I have to offer some grace because things are getting tougher. People are focusing more on merely surviving than we have had to for many years prior to this. Add to this the use of smartphones with social media and legacy media apps inundating us with a constant barrage of information, and one can understand how the important stuff slips under the radar of individuals. The government and the media are complicit in this. The government controls the messaging by making a big deal out of things that are either unimportant or that it thinks will boost it's political capital and the media has forgotten that it exists to speak truth to power. Instead, the media has become simply a mouthpiece for the latest government talking point, without much more than a slight nudge towards digging the truth of a matter out, or even looking beyond the facade of adept government managemen...
