Check It Out: Encouraging news

Recently a teacher took her class to the library, and found one of her students reading his favourite genre ... cookbooks. His interest in the culinary arts is appreciated, because everyone loves to eat, but someone has to do the cooking.
Meanwhile there’s always something being cooked up in our provinces, nation, and world, and some of it is encouraging. The Alberta Roundup reported that Alberta commanded RCMP to ignore Ottawa’s firearms confiscation orders, which were given as a result of Trudeau banning 1500 types of firearms a couple of years ago. Cooking up this plan would come with a $250 million price tag.
After Alberta took a stand, Saskatchewan also said they would tell RCMP to ignore Ottawa’s request to confiscate firearms. Shortly after, the province of Manitoba forbid RCMP from being involved in Trudeau’s gun grab scheme.
Brian Lilley, a Toronto Sun columnist, said, “The Alberta government is reading the provincial police services agreement that they signed with the federal government. Provinces use the RCMP as their provincial police, and under that agreement that’s what they are referred to as, not as a national police force.”
Lilley said, under a provincial police services agreement, the province gets to set their own priorities and objectives, and nothing in the agreement stops the province from being in charge of provincial policing in their province.
Alberta’s Justice Minister explained that Alberta pays $750 million/year for the RCMP, so they want their police force to look after things that matter to the people in their province. The federal government wants to take those resources off the street and give them to the federal government to help run their buy back program. Now Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are joining together to take a stand.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation had good news to report. University students are forming campus clubs at 16 major universities across Canada, putting together events. They call themselves “Generation Screwed” because they’re getting stuck with the bill for government debt, and are training new leaders to speak up.
Bill C-11 presents a challenge to those who want to speak up, and exercise free speech. J.J. McCullough, who is popular on You Tube, was invited to give testimony at parliament on the hearings for the Bill, where he spoke to Senate to save Canada’s You Tube. His presentation was articulate, informative and well researched. The Senate committee had summoned witnesses who might have unique insight into the subject of the bill, and it was encouraging to hear McCullough’s brilliant representation on behalf of social media.
On the international front, the election in Italy resulted in their first female prime minister, Giorgia Meloni. One would think our Prime Minister would have celebrated her win, since he is such an advocate for women, but he remained silent.
Ottawa lawyer, Manny Montenegrino, commented, “It tells you the true nature of Justin Trudeau. If you do not align with his personal principles, you do not exist. He will completely ignore you. The biggest threat to a progressive Liberal is a woman with conservative values that is well spoken.” PM Meloni is just that.
Montenegrino said Italians are paying 1000 euros for hydro/month, and their pension is 1300 euros/month. “The people are saying they have had enough. It’s inevitable that they’re going to ask for a new government,” he explained.
While Italians may be excited about her win, our western media is not, and is calling her a fascist. A search of her name on Twitter reveals nothing. Twitter is banning the world from finding anything about her.
Why is there so much opposition? Because PM Meloni boldly said, “We will defend the value of the human being. Each of us has a unique genetic code that is unrepeatable. Why is the family considered an enemy? Because it defines us. Everything that defines us is an enemy. We will defend God, country and family!” She’s definitely not a career politician, and is passionate about what she says.
It’s encouraging to see a prime minister, provinces and students stand up for their rights and for justice. It’s becoming apparent that more and more people are gaining a healthy appetite for common sense wisdom and solutions.
