1. I don’t follow the Iran war news much because it can only land you in fruitless arguments based on what flavour of disinformation and active measures you like or the algorithm thinks you like.
There are two sources who I will read though. Sam Cooper, and Geopolitical futures. Here are links to both of them with recent reports on Iran. Sam Cooper’s is from around 10:30 AM today, April 7. Tuesday, hours before Trump’s threat for a major attack. He has in fact attacked Karg Island as a prelude.
2. Yesterday we did a post focusing on the state of Great Britain with a number of news items that show the new normal. I would call them either proof of the ongoing communist revolution, or mop up operations post communist revolutions, to implement the new machinery and philosophy of state. We see that frankly, across the Commonwealth especially, although very much so in France and Germany, the EU in general shy of Hungary and a few nations that are managing to avoid the most destructive aspects of it, like mass-Muslim immigration. The battering ram against classical European culture.
Today though, a few items showing lines of action in Canada.
Canada’s navy raised a transgender flag at its morning colours ceremony, accompanied by a message online stating it will not tolerate “hateful online conduct,” which may be subject to the “criminal justice process.”
I would ask all readers of this site to stop here and contemplate for a couple of solid minutes, what this means. What the results of that one sentence is. You are, in the military, a criminal, if you are critical of a policy which is patently insane, and is a deliberate deviation from reality itself.
Once you accept this, the state can create whatever reality it wants, forever, and criminalize opposition to it. This is communism. This is the core of communism.
There are other aspects to this. I believe it was Stephen Coughlin who expressly stated that DEI was in fact a communist LoO (Line of Operation) to destroy the US military. I don’t think it’s limited to the US military. Given China’s new, “Strategic Partnership” with Canada, it’s not much of a stretch to believe that this policy in Canada was insisted on by China.
Having said all this, Canada is the most free country in the commonwealth from what we can see from our perch in Ontario. Compared to Australia, Great Britain etc. Canada is far better off. Possibly because of its proximity to the United States. We are most certainly going down the same road though. Importation of Islam will have, and is having the same consequences though. The destruction of freedom of speech, and dissolution of Canadian identity. It will happen, but perhaps in a slightly different order than say for example, the UK.
3. Jamie Sarkonak: Serving Starbucks in English might be ‘racism,’ Saskatchewan court says
Human rights commission must reconsider case of woman who was refused service in Tagalog
In Saskatchewan, the authorities are currently deciding whether to treat Tagalog like an official language.
It all started at the Starbucks in Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital. Vanessa Casila, a Filipina woman, tried to order in Tagalog. The employee taking her order refused, saying she would receive a formal reprimand from the manager if she went along with it. Casila then filed a human rights complaint, claiming that the “English only” policy amounted to discrimination based on race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, and nationality.
The dialectic negation of Canada at the linguistic level. It used to be French and English negating each other. Now it will be, well everything negating everything once English and then French is gone.
4. Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu Crosses Floor to Join Liberals
Because in Canada, you get the state representative you are given. Not the one you asked for.
Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu has announced she is crossing the floor to join the Liberal Party.
Gladu said in an April 8 statement that “the past year has been like no other that Canada has ever faced,” and that her constituents “want serious leadership and a real plan to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy.”
“That is why I have decided to join Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada’s new government as the newest member of his caucus,” she said.
Gladu said her constituents in the riding of Sarnia-Lambton-Bkejwanong had told her they wanted to see more direct support from the federal government.
Seems as good an excuse as any to cover for the real reason she did this.
Someone might want to report on what kind of car she drives now as opposed to the one she has on order.
5. Finance minister recuses himself from Ottawa’s High Speed Rail program,
I could say a lot about this. I had the chance to talk to an engineer on the project. The entire thing is insane in that way that communist projects are always insane. The reasoning is much like the canal the Soviets built using slave labour with no tools that wasn’t deep enough for boats. It is pointless, expensive, will destroy liberties like land ownership, (which is probably the point) and will make nothing better or easier, but will destroy a LOT of downtown Ottawa while not actually making the trip to Montreal any faster, since they cannot use the existing railway station in Montreal as it has to stay in use for the existing rail network, which has recently already been made much faster thanks to 250M$ spent on updating tracks etc.
So the new project is expensive, destructive, less efficient, not as fast in terms of actually getting you to your destination because of the added travel time from the new train station in Montreal, and will probably cost enough farm land to feed a lot of the ‘new Canadians’ the state is bringing in to replace all the actual Canadians they are going to negate in pretty much every way. (See item on new criteria for MAiD)
Our estimate is that this, like all the ludicrous projects uncovered by Elon Musk when he ran DOGE, it is really a money laundering exercise to pay for all the illegals they are bringing over, putting in hotels, giving them unlimited Uber cards and food and covering all their expenses including Dental. Which Canadians don’t even get.
One of our colleagues has informed us there is a Holiday Inn in Ottawa that is entirely filled with Africans, and their kids are picked up and dropped off from school by busses to and from the hotel.
That doesn’t sound like vacationers to me.
But this is probably why he resigned. Not because its a giant project to sodomize Canada and Canadians.
6. In under a year the new criteria for MAiD will kick in.
There is of course, a heaping ton more data for the thesis. The thesis is that much of the Western Hemisphere is undergoing a communist revolution. In the UK it has evolved up to an Orwell scale. In Canada it hasn’t yet but the trajectory is set.
Spain is punishing their own people, oppressing might be the better word, in the same way Canada is with “Carbon taxes” and other fictions who’s only real purpose is to crush production and lower standards of living while we import a replacement population of 3X Canada’s natural population.
This may be a good example of oppression since we mention it:
Thank you all for checking in with this site.
We have been working with groups of people on the same issues, mostly in and around the USA for the past week or so. Hopefully there will be a lot of great posts on that soon.
#3. I have some insight into this as I have an English-speaking relative who insights on ordering in his excellent French in Montreal, even if this means that the multilingual owner needs to be located to take the order. It takes a special person to engage in confrontation as a Starbucks or other customer. The relative has been so indoctrinated in so-called “language rights” that he believes that he is championing the right of the down-trodden, even if inconveniencing everyone else. He can be confrontatve in other public situations, as well. I recently read that some people experience a dopamine rush when in engaging in confrontation. Congratulations to governments in creating an environment that provides fertile ground for nurturing confrontation and so providing “dopamine addicts” with opportunities to engage!
There is, however, merit to at least some employee complaints regarding “English only” workplace policies. Apparently, none of the Starbucks employees were okay with challenging the hospital-Starbucks policy. Either one encouraged the customer or–more likely, given the changing complaints mentioned in the article, she felt that she was championing worker rights.
Here are a few USA legal cases, which I note so that the reader can contemplate how workplace language policies enable both harassment and victimhood. Tangentially, I was a parent/customer at a public school in the US that maintained two lines in its front office, one for Spanish-speaking parents and one for English-speaking parents. One day I got tired of waiting in the English line, so I went to the empty Spanish line and attempted to speak Spanish to ask the staff member for help with my son’s attendance record. She at first refised to serve me because “you’re not a Spanish-speaker, and what if someone comes in who only speaks Spanish” but then she (wisely) acquiesced while we continued our conversation in Spanish.

Shortly after Ramos was hired, the casino’s human resources director ordered the housekeeping manager and supervisors to enforce a blanket English-only language policy in the predominantly Spanish-speaking housekeeping department. Any housekeeping employees who uttered so much as a word in Spanish were to be given a written warning or fired outright. The new rule posed problems for Ramos and her monolingual, Spanish-speaking husband [who also worked onsite in another department].
