Dear Justin Trudeau,

I have a question for you Mr. Prime Minister and it is a sincere question that I would really like an answer to. I am concerned about the divisiveness of many of your policies towards many Canadians. Are you aware of how your policies affect the people you govern?

I first started to notice this nine years ago, before you even became Prime Minister. I wrote to you about your policy to exclude pro-life people from belonging to the Liberal party. https://run-with-life.blogspot.com/2014/10/open-letter-to-justin-trudeau-honouring.html. I was curious then, and still am, as to why you never responded to my letter? If I had supported this policy, would you have answered me?

As the years passed, it seemed to me that there were many Canadians whose values you didn't share. It felt like you wanted to punish them by enacting policies that disrespected and marginalized these people you didn't agree with, or that didn't agree with you.

You seem to have taken a particular dislike to pro-life people, and this continued when you denied them government funding for the Summer Jobs Program. And more recently, by threatening to remove the charitable status from pro-life organizations. You said that there were groups like pregnancy care centres who provide women with dishonest counseling. But you could never provide any evidence that this happens. Yet you gave out, and continue to give out, millions to the people who support and celebrate abortion. 

Then there was the pandemic. If people chose not to get the shot, you called them names. You closed the churches but kept the abortion clinics open. People were really hurt by your policies; people went bankrupt; people lost their jobs; families were separated; mental health issues soared; people couldn't get medical treatment. You fired public servants who refused to get vaccinated. You wanted people to do what you wanted them to do. If they didn't, you called them names and punished them.

Currently, parents who are concerned about gender ideology being forced on them and their children, are called "far-right". There are millions of Canadians who do not agree with this ideology, yet we are forced to look at pride flags everywhere, for not just one day; not just one month; but now for an entire season. This makes no sense. While all Canadians deserve respect, why are we now being forced to "celebrate" an ideology that is against our sincerely held values and beliefs? Catholics and Muslims, and others, do not share this ideology. But it is being forced upon us everywhere we turn. I do not ask you to celebrate my Catholicism or my being pro-life. But you insist on me "celebrating" pride in all of its forms.

It seems you want all Canadians to agree with you on everything. But we don't. And we should not be forced to. We are also Canadians Prime Minister, and we deserve to be respected and treated with dignity.

I hope you will watch this video of Jordan Peterson's interview with Tamara Lich. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2wegzK35Z94Ls60uBBkNQr

Tamara is a Canadian hero. She headed a movement that brought all Canadians together. The trucker convoy was not divisive. People from coast to coast to coast supported it; of all ethnicities; of all faith backgrounds; from all walks of life; they came together and asked that you listen to them. Tamara said of the movement: "People were proud to be Canadian again." But you would not meet them. You would not listen to them. Instead you called them names, invoked the emergency act and froze their bank accounts. You wouldn't even talk to them. I heard you went to the Laurentians to ski when the emergency act was invoked, while Canadians were fighting for their livelihoods, yet you refused to listen to their concerns. You called people 'racist,' 'misogynistic,' and the unvaccinated were a “small fringe minority” with “unacceptable views.” The truckers kept Canada running during the pandemic. Yet you had no time for them, or their concerns.

Canadians have different values and different beliefs. I will respect your beliefs, but please respect mine, and please respect the beliefs of all the Canadians whose beliefs and values are different from yours. Please stop calling us names. Please stop penalizing us. Please stop marginalizing us. Please stop punishing us. Please respect us. 

I ask you, I beg you, please stop being divisive.

Sincerely,

Patricia Maloney

Happy Canada Day and Sir John A MacDonald's Unrealized Legacy

 two Canada Day Articles to instill hope for our Country

from Life Canada https://lifecanada.org/

Original English words to our national anthem by Robert Stanley Weir from 1908, written after the French original lyrics and music were composed. 

Since 1908 amid great prosperity, love, and LIFE we have also faced world wars, internal strife, separation from England, a transformation of law, education, and democratic processes, inflation, famine, and strife. 

Yet these words keep us focused. 

The last verse 

Ruler Supreme, Who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our dominion within Thy loving care.
Help us to find, O God, in Thee
A lasting, rich reward,
As waiting for the Better Day,
We ever stand on guard.

Correcting the record

JOHN A. MACDONALD SAVED MORE INDIGENOUS LIVES THAN ANY OTHER PRIME MINISTER
GREG PIASETZKI Greg Piasetzki is a Toronto lawyer and citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario. 

This chapter excerpt is from the Aristotle Foundation’s new book, The 1867 Project: Why Canada Should be Cherished—not Cancelled, edited by Mark Milke. · Jul 1, 2023

IF MACDONALD’S STORY HAS CHANGED, IT IS BECAUSE CANADIAN SOCIETY NO LONGER UNDERSTANDS ITS OWN HISTORY. (JOHN A.) MACDONALD WAS CONSIDERED A NATION-BUILDER. — GREG PIASETZKI

Given that he died in 1891, the facts of Sir John A. Macdonald’s life are unchangeable. The story of his life, however, has changed dramatically. For most of Canada’s history, Macdonald was considered a nation-builder worthy of celebration and veneration. Today he is a war criminal, at least to hear some tell it. But a proper and balanced consideration of Macdonald’s life reveals that, through his own actions and policies, Canada’s first prime minister was directly and deliberately responsible for saving the lives of untold numbers of Indigenous people. Given the temper of our times, this is not likely to be a popular notion. But that does not make it any less true.

Sky News Australia host slams ‘idiot’ parents pushing trans agenda

 Yeah in the days of sanity, these exhibitionists would have been arrested on the spot. Now it's reversed. If you complain then you're arrested, thrown in jail, and probably with a big fine, charged with hate speech and you lose your job. It's unbelievable.

Trudeau's internet takeover is well under way - and cruel treatment of our military under Trudeau during covid

In this Episode

1. Trudeau's Internet takeover is well underway -
2. and the cruel treatment of our military under Trudeau during covid

1. Bill C-18 – one of Justin Trudeau's internet regulation bills – is now law, prompting Facebook to ban news so as to avoid having to pay out media outlets. While Facebook made the decision to block news links, True North's Andrew Lawton points out that the whole thing is Trudeau's fault, as he's the one who thinks Big Tech needs to subsidize the legacy media.

1. " 330 active duty and former members of the Canadians Armed Forces have joined a proposed mass tort action lawsuit against the Canadian military over the vaccine mandate that either coerced vaccination or forced CAF members out of service. Valour Law lawyer Catherine Christensen joins the Andrew Lawton Show to discuss the case...

From the Interview with Catherine Christensen

"These were the 300 who stood up in October 2021, They have remained steadfast, and they want to hold the Chief of Defense Staff and the Canadian Armed Forces to Account for abusing their powers so the decision was made by the group that they would proceed with a Mass Tort rather than a class action

Some chose to leave and some were forced to leave under a voluntary release. 

But there was a large group of them discharged under what is called an SF  (Unsuitable for further service.) This is the release category if you are a drunk or a drug addict who won't get rehabilitated, if you are a domestic violence offender, or if you have been found guilty of sexual assault; this is the category they released these people under. 

So it wasn't just the fact that they chose to lose their jobs, when they lost their jobs they lost them under what used to be called a dishonorable discharge and in fact, several members of the chain of command told them because it was a dishonorable discharge there were implications, for example, they can't enroll in the Canadian Armed Forces without the permission of the Chief of Defence Staff and they would have to wait 5 years. 

This is a real black mark on their records"

Catherine Christensen

The legal term "tort" is defined as a wrongful act that causes injury to another. A mass tort, therefore, is wrong, usually committed by a large corporation, that injures many people.

Teenaged Girls in Progressive America - The Catholic Thing

 https://www.thecatholicthing.org/2023/06/23/teenaged-girls-in-progressive-america/

t’s not easy to be a teenage girl.  Nor is it easy to be a teenage boy.  The years-long passage from the shore of childhood to the opposite shore of adulthood can be a rocky passage.  Very rocky indeed.  As many of us remember.

A generation ago, tens of thousands of young girls (probably more) were troubled by anorexia or near-anorexia.  Thin girls developed the weird idea that they were significantly overweight.  And so they reduced their consumption of food.  In extreme cases, ultra-skinny girls tried to stop eating altogether.  Many began to look like prisoners at Auschwitz.  They were on the verge of death by starvation.

Today great numbers of teenage girls are being tormented by a newly fashionable idea, the idea of transgenderism, the crazy idea that, despite the fact that they have female bodies, they are, in truth, not girls but boys.  Somehow, they happened to get born into the wrong body.  This misfortune having taken place, it’s now imperative, they believe, that they be allowed to transition from female to male.

And they believe that adults around them – especially their parents, teachers, and doctors – have a duty to help them make this transition.  Help them, for instance, by treating them with “gender-affirming care” – male hormones, puberty blockers, or bodily mutilation, i.e., surgical amputation of their emerging breasts.

If the adults refuse to help, it must be – they’ve also been convinced – from “hate.”  Not only do these girls feel that they’re in the wrong body; they also feel that the adults who should most protect them are their great enemies.  How horrible it all is!  Many of these pitiable/crazy girls threaten suicide, and more than a few attempt it.

Boys, too, are trapped and tormented by this transgender lunacy.  But my guess is that the problem is far more common on average for girls.

Psychologically speaking, there’s a great similarity between the old anorexia craze and the new transgender craze.  That may give us reason to be optimistic.  The old lunacy faded away, so may the new lunacy.

But there’s a gigantic difference between the two lunacies.  In the old days, nobody affirmed the afflicted girls in their anorexia.  Nobody said to a girl who was as thin as a toothpick, “Oh dear me!  You are so fat!  How disgusting!  Don’t eat breakfast.  And if they force you to eat, try to throw up as soon as you’re finished.”

Nowadays, however, nearly half the nation affirms these poor girls in their lunacy, the “progressive” half, the ideological half that approves of and promotes the LGBTQIA+ agenda.  These are the same people who strongly approve of other odd things: e.g., abortion, same-sex marriage, open borders, atheism, and the idea that most white Americans are anti-black racists – and anti-brown racists to boot.  Transgenderism is part of that “progressive” package.

It’s these progressives who dominate America’s great organs of moral propaganda –journalism (print and electronic), the entertainment industry (TV, movies, popular music), higher education, public schools (many expensive private schools too), the pulpits of “liberal” religions, and the Democratic Party (my former party).

President Biden, our fellow Catholic, is the commander-in-chief not only of the armed forces, but of the progressive powerhouse.

The Catholic Church in the United States is not (at least not yet) a “liberal” religion.  But it’s halfway down that road.  To date (unlike truly liberal Protestant churches), it refuses to endorse the progressive agenda (except perhaps open borders), but it’s reluctant to condemn it.

Our bishops, with a few honorable exceptions, remind one of the bishops of King Henry VIII’s day.  Except for one (John Fisher of Rochester), they sat by timidly as the king closed the monasteries and de-papalized the Church.  By and large, our Catholic bishops do little to defend the Church against its progressive enemy.  Especially noteworthy is the silence, and sometimes muted progressivism, of the cardinals appointed by Pope Francis: Tobin of Newark, Cupich of Chicago, Gregory of D.C., and McElroy of San Diego.

And so here are these poor girls, in great daily pain because of their crazy belief that they are not girls at all, but boys.  And the most authoritative voices of American society, the voices of our cultural elites, instead of saying to these girls what was said to the anorexic girls of a generation ago, “You are mistaken.  You are suffering from a delusion.  Let us help you” – instead of saying this, our progressive elites say, “Many people are born into the wrong bodies.  You may well be one of them.  Let us help you with gender-affirming care.  Let us, for instance, provide you with a surgeon who will remove your breasts.”

For many years I have believed that the ultimate aim of present-day progressivism is the ruination of Christianity, Catholicism in particular.  Transgenderism goes a step beyond that.  Underlying Christianity are two fundamental beliefs expressed in the first article of the Nicene Creed: (a) the belief that God exists, and (b) the belief that God created an intelligible world that can be understood, at least in part, by the human mind.

The transgender ideology is an attack on the idea that the world is intelligible.  Instead, the ideology is an affirmation of the opposite idea, namely that the world has no objective existence.  Instead, things are what we SAY they are.  If we say that a girl is a boy, then she’s a boy.  And if we say that an unborn baby is not human, then it’s not human; and if we say that same-sex marriage is perfectly natural, then it’s perfectly natural.  Reality is what WE think it is, not what God thinks it is.

We haven’t yet reached the point at which progressives say, “2 plus 2 equals something other than 4.”  And some pushback to the trans craze has begun over the mutilation of children. But we’re close, and without strong leadership by the Church and other institutions, that’s where we’re headed.
