If we can’t house the, why bring them? Why bring them to cast Canadian poor and homes people out on the streets. A February 24 major article in the National Post entitled “Tent City Nation” made the following important observation: “
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
It’s believed that more people are sleeping rough in this country than at any point since the Great Depression. How did tent encampments suddenly become a fixture of so many of our towns and cities?
Many things happened at once, among them a pandemic. COVID-19 forced homeless shelters to impose capacity limits to reduce the spread of the infectious disease, which forced many people on the margins into tents and sheds.
Shelters were already under pressure, in part because of a substantial increase in the number of refugees using their services. The number of people seeking asylum in Canada has spiked in recent years. During the first 11 months of 2023, more than 128,000 people filed asylum claims in this country — a record number. It’s more than double the number from all of 2019, the year before the pandemic’s outbreak.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, in a November letter to two federal cabinet ministers, noted that refugees then occupied 3,900 of the city’s 11,000 shelter spaces — a 50 per cent increase in just six months — while another 1,200 refugees were supported outside the shelter system. She asked the government for financial and material aid to help address what she called a “dire” situation.
“Shelters are full but demand for shelter continues to increase,” Chow wrote. “Each night, hundreds are turned away because no beds are available. While we have opened hundreds of additional spaces, including dedicated spaces for newly arrived refugees, we cannot keep pace.”
Maxime Bernier & People’s Party of Canada Pledge to Rid Us of Diversity, Equity & Inclusions Insanity
Today I was in Bowmanville (ON) for a press conference with our amazing Durham by-election candidate, Patricia Conlin.
This press conference was an opportunity to introduce Patricia to the local and national media.
We also announced a new PPC policy on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
DEI is a fundamentally racist, sexist, and discriminatory ideology that divides Canadians, creates blatant injustices, and undermines social cohesion.
Under the pretext of promoting nice-sounding goals, it does the exact opposite: it imposes a uniform far-left perspective, and unfairly gives more rights to some, while excluding others who don’t fit in official categories of victims.
This hateful ideology holds that our culture and Western society is irredeemably racist, colonialist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and whatever new phobia or -ism they come up with next week!
We hear about new absurd examples of these programs almost every day.
Just a few weeks ago, we learned that the University of Waterloo wanted to hire two Research Chair positions in the Computer Science department.
The first position was only open to applicants “who self-identify as women, transgender, gender-fluid, non-binary, or Two-spirit”.
The second position was only open to applicants “who self-identify as a member of a racialized minority”.
If you’re straight or white, tough luck! The University of Waterloo doesn’t want you.
Our woke leaders do not believe in merit anymore. They undermine one of the key foundations of western civilization.
They tell us that “diversity” is more important than competence.
We see this everywhere in Canada and the West today.
The longer that this twisted agenda is in place, the more things will fall apart and cease to function.
Because decline is the only outcome when you prevent and penalize the most capable and meritorious.
A PPC government will take the following steps to expunge this toxic ideology from our society and country:
Abolish all federal DEI programs and policies in the public service and in federal institutions such as the Armed Forces, as well as those that apply to federally regulated industries.
Prohibit DEI training sessions in all federal institutions.
Remove all DEI clauses imposed on institutions, organisations, associations and businesses as a condition to obtain federal subsidies, grants, loans, scholarships, services, or contracts.
Stop funding groups that promote the DEI ideology.
In all legal proceedings, narrowly interpret section 15(2) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a manner that proscribes reverse discrimination.
Support Canadians who are being discriminated against, harassed, vilified, or harmed in any way by organisations that impose DEI programs and policies.
‘Absurdly woke’: Google’s AI chatbot spits out ‘diverse’ images of Founding Fathers, popes, Vikings
By
Social Links for Thomas Barrabi
Published Feb. 21, 2024, 1:51 p.m. ET
Google’s highly-touted AI chatbot Gemini was blasted as “woke” after its image generator spit out factually or historically inaccurate pictures — including a woman as pope, black Vikings, female NHL players and “diverse” versions of America’s Founding Fathers.
Gemini’s bizarre results came after simple prompts, including one by The Post on Wednesday that asked the software to “create an image of a pope.”
Instead of yielding a photo of one of the 266 pontiffs throughout history — all of them white men — Gemini provided pictures of a Southeast Asian woman and a black man wearing holy vestments.
Another Post query for representative images of “the Founding Fathers in 1789″ was also far from reality.
Gemini responded with images of black and Native American individuals signing what appeared to be a version of the US Constitution — “featuring diverse individuals embodying the spirit” of the Founding Fathers.
Google admitted its image tool was “missing the mark.” Google GeminiGoogle debuted Gemini’s image generation tool last week. Google Gemini
Another showed a black man appearing to represent George Washington, in a white wig and wearing an Army uniform.
When asked why it had deviated from its original prompt, Gemini replied that it “aimed to provide a more accurate and inclusive representation of the historical context” of the period.
Generative AI tools like Gemini are designed to create content within certain parameters, leading many critics to slam Google for its progressive-minded settings.
Google said it was aware of the criticism and is actively working on a fix.
“We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately,” Jack Krawczyk, Google’s senior director of product management for Gemini Experiences, told The Post.
“Gemini’s AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that’s generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it’s missing the mark here.”
Social media users had a field day creating queries that provided confounding results.
“New game: Try to get Google Gemini to make an image of a Caucasian male. I have not been successful so far,” wrote X user Frank J. Fleming, a writer for the Babylon Bee, whose series of posts about Gemini on the social media platform quickly went viral.
The chatbot’s strange depictions of Vikings included one of a shirtless black man with rainbow feathers attached to his fur garb, a black warrior woman, and an Asian man standing in the middle of what appeared to be a desert.
Famed pollster and “FiveThirtyEight” founder Nate Silver also joined the fray.
Silver’s request for Gemini to “make 4 representative images of NHL hockey players” generated a picture with a female player, even though the league is all male.
“OK I assumed people were exaggerating with this stuff but here’s the first image request I tried with Gemini,” Silver wrote.
Another prompt to “depict the Girl with a Pearl Earring” led to altered versions of the famous 1665 oil painting by Johannes Vermeer featuring what Gemini described as “diverse ethnicities and genders.”
Google added the image generation feature when it renamed its experimental “Bard” chatbot to “Gemini” and released an updated version of the product last week.
In one case, Gemini generated pictures of “diverse” representations of the pope. Google GeminiCritics accused Google Gemini of valuing diversity over historically or factually accuracy. Google Gemini
The strange behavior could provide more fodder for AI detractors who fear chatbots will contribute to the spread of online misinformation.
Google has long said that its AI tools are experimental and prone to “hallucinations” in which they regurgitate fake or inaccurate information in response to user prompts.
In one instance last October, Google’s chatbot claimed that Israel and Hamas had reached a ceasefire agreement, when no such deal had occurred.
OK, this email says the number of illegals is about 15 million. I’ve been saying 50 plus. Not accounted for are the unknown number of “get-a-ways” that have sifted thru our sandy sieve of a border and gotten away with their ill gotten gains for over 50 years now, so they can get away with statements like that.
Also, for decades, Ive been reading statements from supposed immigration restriction organizations, to the effect that the number of illegals that get in each year is about one million. Add that up since 1970 or so, and the so and so’s can fool the johnny-come-lately citizens suddenly interested in the issue — and so there’s your over 50 million in addition to the “get-aways”.
These organizations still spout that they are for “sensible immigration”. Show me why a moratorium on this displacement of our native population is not the right thing to enact now. Pat Buchanan, where are you now?
OVERVIEW FROM THE CEO (JAMES MASSA) welcome to the “Inside Immigration” Newsletter of NumbersUSA Your Voice Mattered in Defeating Senate Border Bill There is so much misinformation in the media regarding the Senate Border Bill that was defeated this past week. First, the vote itself was procedural and was not a vote on the bill. As explained in our short video last week, the Senate bill did not pass “cloture”. Second, the short powerful truth is that your voice mattered! Your contacting your member of congress and telling them that the Senate deal was no deal at all and you wanted H.R. 2, the Secure Border Act, as passed in the House of Representatives is what really shut down chances of the Senate bill even reaching a vote. Third, the Senate bill was bad immigration policy. It did not accomplish anything it was touted to have done. It raised legal immigration in several ways. It failed to close heavily abused loopholes. It ignored the fact that the President already has authority to get control of the border. It normalized 1.8 million illegal alien encounters a year, suggesting that anything less wasn’t an emergency. It was bad immigration policy offered in an attempt to pass funding for Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel. Finally, it is an election year. President Biden who is seeking reelection and his party have made every attempt to say the bill gave Republicans everything they wanted and yet they still voted it down. Nonsense! H.R. 2 gives everything the Republicans want and not a word of it was in the Senate bill. Another election year spin has been to blame former President Donald Trump, who is seeking reelection, saying he influenced the vote. This is just not what caused the Senate Border (plus Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel) funding bill to go down in a cloture vote. Trump has done many things to highlight the issue of illegal immigration. However, the Senate bill was defeated by you and it being bad policy. This week there are efforts to fund the military defense items separately and, as we have shared in other e-mails, to vote again to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas. We await the upcoming government funding appropriation bills to see if the House of Representatives with their power of the purse will ensure that the national security issue which is our nation’s southern border is secured. Grant Newman will give an update on Mayorkas in the federal section. FEDERAL (GRANT NEWMAN) DHS Secretary Mayorkas Impeached
Yesterday, the House of Representatives successfully impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for willful and systematic refusal to comply with the law and breach of public trust. This marks the first time a cabinet secretary has been impeached in nearly 150 years. Next, the impeachment articles go over to the Senate, which has to immediately consider them and determine whether to convict or acquit the Secretary on each article. The Senate is currently in recess until after the President’s Day recess, but is set to return the week of February 23rd. We’re hearing rumors that Senate Democrats may try to swiftly move on from impeachment, so stay tuned for developments.
January Border Numbers Drop… Already
Only a couple of weeks after the December Customs and Border Protection numbers dropped, January’s numbers arrived early. In fact, not only does the data show (relatively) good news, but that news dropped on the same day the House was reconsidering the impeachment of DHS Secretary Mayorkas. What a coincidence! That said, 242,587 encounters in a month is far from normal. There are many reasons why the drop may have occurred in January. First, historically, January is a slower month than others on the border. You may also have seen articles about Texas Governor Greg Abbot making an effort to slow the influx into Texas in lieu of Federal assistance. Another factor is action occurring on the Mexican side of the border, reported by Todd Bensman at CIS, where Mexican military and law enforcement are suddenly cracking down on migrants. We’ll see soon enough whether this is something that will continue, or if it’s a temporary action.

H.B. 4759 (sponsored by Del. Chris Phillips) has been the target of a coordinated, last-minute opposition effort by business lobbyists to protect the ability of employers to have access to workers without effectively checking legal status. While the Senate did unanimously support E-Verify for all employers just last year, there will still need to be two committee hearings (Government Organization and Judiciary) where opponents of E-Verify will also seek to testify on the bill. These hearings have not yet been scheduled. Meanwhile, West Virginians continue to flood Charleston with messages of support.

Foreign-Born Population Reaches Record Peak Amidst the worst border crisis in our history, it is worth taking a look at a lesser known, but equally important figure: the actual size of the immigrant population in the U.S.
Our friends at the Center for Immigration Studies have done a deep dive into the recent Census Bureau Current Population Survey (CPS) data (October 2023) that show that the foreign-born population in the U.S. has reached a peak in both numbers and percentage share of the overall population – 49.5 million and 15% – higher than at any other time in our history. Although illegal immigration accounts for a significant share of the recent foreign-born growth, it is worth noting that legal immigrants still account for 75% of the total foreign-born population.
OK, this email says the number of illegals is about 15 million. I’ve been saying 50 plus.

Although illegal immigration accounts for a significant share of the recent foreign-born growth, it is worth noting that legal immigrants still account for 75% of the total foreign-born population.
Is there a reason why media refuse to mention that contemporary white Canadians are not responsible for historical policies of prejudice against “racialized” communities?
“The Faculty Association of the University of Waterloo says its Equity Committee must be at least 50% non-male and 50% non-white in order to have gender and racial parity.” [While the general population is slightly more than 50% female, the non-White proportion of Canada’s population, at this point in our planned replacement is 22%, not 50%1}
In contemporary Canada, what goes around really does come around. Thinking back to civil rights leaders for the Advancement of Coloured People in the United States, we turn to a lady named Rosa Parks:
The United States Congress honoured her as “the first lady of civil rights” and “the mother of the freedom movement.”
“On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks rejected bus driver James F. Blake’s order to vacate a row of four seats in the ‘coloured’ section in favour of a white passenger.”
Parks went on to become an international icon of resistance to racial segregation.
Today, in PM Justin Trudeau’s “post-modern” society, racial segregation has returned. Only this time, the tables have been turned toward ostracization of White Canadiansbased on the colour of their skin.
“The faculty association also says it gives preferential treatment to Black and Indigenous peoples in the selection process whenever possible.”
Unabashed, egregious racism it is. None of it a problem for University of Waterloo’s woke crew of inverted bigots.
“In the late 1870s, Southern state legislatures passed laws requiring the separation of whites from ‘persons of colour’ in public transportation and schools.”
Several thoughts bubble to the surface. Firstly, an anachronistic move by Canadian academia to re-institute a reversal of civil rights that people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King worked for, and in the latter case, died for.
Secondly, the idea that as with all elements of DEI(Diversity, Equity & Inclusion), an unspoken goal of racial revenge lies at the core of the agenda. Indeed, University of Waterloo’s decree exists as a microcosm for the “social equity” movement in its entirety.
With woke political correctness as its support-system, an entire school-of-thought is cast aside. Mainstream media won’t breathe a word about it, even though at this stage of the game, 80-90% of leading journalists in Canada derive from an Anglophone or Francophone background.
Multiculturalism as conceived and institutionalized by ex-Liberal PM Pierre Trudeau contains no legal limit, or “ceiling” as to when social equity is achieved. No barometer of “success” exists to verify that its original purpose– racial equality within a pluralist society– has been accomplished.
The result? It can, and will, “go on forever.” Meaning that the steamrolling of Whites out of employment potential could transition from 50% to 100%, while no legal mechanism exists to prevent such a thing.
Paying for the sins of our forefathers? Upon which we turn to a critical, yet unspoken, observation. Government, media, academia– notice how none of them point to the fact that those who initiated “racist” policies in Canadian society are all dead?
CBC, Globe & Mail, CTV, Toronto Star— which one has ever referenced the fact that contemporary white Canadians are in no respect responsible for historical policies of prejudice against “racialized” communities.
In the case of racism perpetrated by University of Waterloo’sEquity Committee,this equates with the idea that these people are punishing the innocent. As in, an act of revenge. Bitter, angry woke warriors taking out their collective frustration on Canada’s Anglo-European communities.
In truth, that’s not the worst of it. The worst is that this travesty goes on without being challenged by any controlling institution in the country. PM Justin Trudeau is all for it, as is under-the-radar Anglophone-basher, New Democratic party leader Jagmeet Singh, who says:“The reality is, this is our Canada. We can’t deny it. We can’t reject that, because it does no one any help. The reality is: our Canada is a place of racism, of violence, of genocide. [Yet, no one calls this defamation of Whites for what it is — BULLSHIT! ‘Genocide’, Jagmeet? Are you and your turbanned confreres being genocided? No, you and they are thriving. Indeed, Sikhs, less than one per cent of Canada’s population, comprised 16% of Justin Trudeau’s first cabinet. The only people being genocided on the instalment plan are Canada’s European founding/settler people being replaced by immigration policy!]
Love you to, Jagmeet. Establishment media has not a problem with racism against White Canadians. Ditto for our Marxist-infused university system, which over the decades silently converted to bastions of anti-Canadian hatred.
An injection of irony springs forth as we reference a recent article published by True North News:
“Diversity, Equity And Inclusion Programmes Lead To More Bigotry, New Research Shows”
“Drawing from a wide array of research published in leading social scientific journals, including contributions from prestigious institutions like Harvard and Princeton, findings challenge the prevailing narrative that DEI instruction leads to lasting positive behavioural changes.”
Well, what do you know? It could well be that academic social equity programs are exacerbating the level of racism in society.
A couple thoughts here: for one thing, it will make not a shred of difference to Canada’s woke academic warriors. Secondly, the idea that, on a deeper level, forces exist in our society who want social chaos to ramp up ad infinitum.
As mentioned, Canada’s academic world contains an unspoken-of-foundation of Marxist-oriented political orientation.
“Marx wrote extensively on race and class in the American Civil War. These writings argue that capitalism was grounded in slavery and that racism attenuated class-consciousness among workers from dominant racial groups.”
“These Marxist writings, which have been discussed only sporadically over the past century, are especially timely today.”
You’re+ darn right they are, because academia is utilizing race to divide citizen from citizen, and community from community. In other words, beneath all the “equity” talk, exists a tacit form of socialist-oriented “revolution.”
We begin to see why the haters are the way they are. What is really in the works is a social inversion of profound proportions:
Whitey to the back of the bus, the “racialized” in the driver’s seat. Can this be the silent, overarching agenda as perpetrated by the Canadian government, media and academia?
The Horrendous War Crime at Dresden, February 13-14, 1945
To All Friends of Willis Carto February 12, 2024
Dresden
When WW1 broke out in 1914, the German Kaiser was having an outing on his yacht, cruising the Baltic. His defense minister at that time also was absent, taking the waters at Carlsbad, Bohemia. Germany was at peace, but England, France, and Russia were very much alert and busy preparing for war against Germany. By 1918 when the killing fields had been filled with the best of all the young men of all of Europe, the next war could be anticipated. Germany lost substantial territory; the Versailles Treaty divided eastern and western parts of Germany among the winners. Could no one visualize further upheavals to follow, and were their greed and their envy of Germany finally satisfied? At issue had been its strength in global markets, which the British especially resented. Substantial areas were given to France and Poland. The African colonies were devoured by the British during and before WW1. In South Africa, during the First Boer War (1899-1902), England unleashed against the Boer (Dutch) and installed the first concentration camps ever. 40,000 mostly women and children were the inmates of which 27,000 died of starvation and disease.
Looking further ahead to the 1930s and life in Germany which had recovered only slightly from WW1. When Hitler became chancellor, England very quickly thought of ways and means to finish off Germany for good. They were lagging behind in industrial output and had lost valuable land in Africa which they could not rustle back from the Boers. Germany suddenly again became an issue to be watched. The Versailles Treaty had given a large section of Upper Silesia in eastern Germany to Poland. For a number of years, Polish elements tried to terrorize the German population which was native to that part of Germany for generations. The situation turned worst with continuing assaults on the Germans by the Poles. Hitler warned them off numerous times but finally decided to move in some German troops to protect the German population.
If Germany had anticipated WW2, they would never have entered Poland. At that point, no war had broken out at all. However, the British had their offer to Poland couched in friendly terms, should outsiders, (Germans) try to move into the German section of Poland.
The following document makes clear that the British intention was war against Germany. No doubt, many people still believe today that Hitler was the warmonger in 1939, when in fact the opposite was true. He tried to keep the British out of it and in general, the German people agreed with Hitler that Upper Silesia was part of Germany and rightfully theirs.
The Text:
AGREEMENT between the Government of the United Kingdom and the Poland Government regarding Mutual Assistance (with protocol) London, August 25, 1939.
Presented by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to Parliaments by Command of His Majesty.
Article 1
Should one of the Contracting Parties become engaged in hostilities with a European Power in consequence of aggression by the latter against that Contracting Party the other Contracting Party will at once give the Contracting Party engaged in hostilities all the support and assistance in its power.
We all are only too familiar with the outcome of WW2. Churchill became First Lord of the Admiralty on September 3, 1939, when war was declared. He became Prime Minister in May 1940. The minute he came into office, England lost its Empire it is said.
In l945, Poland, fighting Germany, was destroyed by Russia. It became in essence part of their communist empire for 50 years. The last Russian troops left the country in 1991. Between Churchill and Roosevelt, a large part of our civilizations ended up behind the Iron Curtain. Germany was divided between East and West. Half was given to Russian communists for over half a century until President Reagan and Gorbachev ended it.
Today’s upheavals are again caused by outside forces who would like nothing better than to put the United States, again, in the middle of it. The British don’t have much to offer, some troops perhaps. NATO is forced into positions where the 31 member countries don’t choose for themselves. The warmongers and Israel supporters in the U.S. are controlling NATO. Ukraine is highly unpopular and Israel is being condemned the world over for its gruesome behavior in Gaza. The 30 million Christian Zionists in our country are controlled by the Jewish media with their lackeys like Hannity. We do not need another war that is not in our interest and religion should have no part in it. Let Israel fight now and run later, they cannot survive in the Holy Land forever.
Quoting from Sir John Glubb, known as Glubb Pasha, who was the British expert on the Middle East. During his lifetime his work with the Palestinians and many other Arab states, especially with Jordan and the huge numbers that Israel forced out of their homes, he was very popular and truthful. Willis had invited him to address a meeting of conservative Americans in Los Angeles in 1968. He was much admired and The Spotlight sold his published work for many years. “The Middle East Crisis” (1967): “Peace can be made by dictation or negotiation.”
Dresden was destroyed on February 13-15, 1945. 240 British bombers attacked for two hours, killing old people, women, and children. Dresden has no military targets. The city had no defense. Again, Churchill was the warlord. The city was attacked for three days. He joyously watched the fires and explosions raining down and knew of the destruction his bombers were causing. There were no human feelings for the sacrificial lambs who died there. Glorification for monsters like “Bomber Harris” and Churchill, and yes, the Queen Mother, who it was said, had been cheering on the bombers toward Dresden, was soon to follow the haters. The number of burned and melted victims will never be totally known. Within days afterward, the number of deaths was made public by the local searchers. Rescuers were completely wiped out with the first assault.
The numbers –
35,000 fully identified, 50,000 not identified, but jewelry and wedding bands were found and recognized. 108,000 victims could not be identified, no body parts were left, and the fires had burned and melted them.
Today these numbers are still being debated. 20 million Germans were to be eliminated under the Morgenthau Plan before the war ended. Roosevelt was not opposed but he was stopped.
An important source is the memoirs of Vladimir Semjonows from 1945. He worked at the Russian foreign office; the Russians were only about 30 miles away from Dresden that day. He wrote of the terrible picture of Dresden, the heat and smells of a quarter of a million corpses buried underneath the rubble of the town, melted, a terrible stench for days after the “Anglo-American” bombing attacks.
Gaza, as of this date, has a death count of at least 25,000. Just as in Dresden, the number of children killed is very high. Mothers held on to them to get out of the burning streets and buildings; the asphalt was melting. Little children were unable to hang on but were ripped away from their parents and thrown with the flames into the air. Half the dead in Gaza are children; how can anyone not have sympathy with the mothers and children? The butcher Netanyahu promises, while killing the innocents, that he will empty Gaza.
