  • PP has been distancing himself from this guy, but the picture says it all: Jeremy McKenzie is a Canadian political figure known for his involvement in right-wing movements and as a prominent figure in the “Diagalon” movement, which has been associated with far-right ideologies. He gained attention for his controversial views and statements, particularly regarding issues like government policies and public health measures. In 2022, it was reported that McKenzie was running for a seat in the House of Commons as a candidate for the People’s Party of Canada (PPC). However, he faced challenges, including issues related to security clearance, which may have impacted his candidacy. Just like PP: security clearance issues…





  • Actually, I think a lot of women like having a man in their life. I know I do. My relationship with my “man friend" is not traditional. We have separate residences. We spend a lot of time with each other: holidays, overnights, entertaining, travelling, etc. To me it’s perfect. Obviously this wouldn’t be ideal if children were part of the plan, but they are not.

    However, women are NOT incubators. Women are NOT here for men to get their “rocks off”. Women are NOT men’s servants. Women fought long and hard for the right to vote! American politics has begun a campaign to strip women of the fundamental right to vote. So, yah, I’m feeling the hate too, muusemuuse…

    “Deus Vult” is a Latin phrase meaning “God wills it,” historically used as a rallying cry during the Crusades. It signifies the belief that military actions were sanctioned by divine will. The term “crusade” first referred to military expeditions undertaken by European Christians in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to the Holy Land. The conflicts to which the term is applied have been extended to include other campaigns initiated, supported and sometimes directed by the Latin Church with varying objectives, mostly religious, sometimes political. These differed from previous Christian religious wars in that they were considered a penitential exercise, and so earned participants remittance from penalties for all confessed sins. What constituted a crusade has been understood in diverse ways, particularly regarding the early Crusades, and the precise definition remains a matter of debate among contemporary historian.

    But, basically, hundreds of thousands of people were murdered and tortured because some psychopath decided they were carrying out “god’s will”—aka "I’m using religion as an excuse to exercise my desire to control and subdue people to my ends”.

    Is this comment a joke? Trump has been rude, hateful, and disrespectful towards Canadians. Despite being a close neighbour, rallying and sending our forces to U.S. for “their” wars, housing and feeding thousands of their citizens during the 9-11 attack, Trump has slammed us with underserved tariffs, and threatened to annex us. I think we’ve been downright fucking civil.
