The Black Rod

  While Winnipeg Free Press reporters churned out fake news stories, real news broke out in southern Manitoba and went unreported. Hundreds of high school students protesting Covid vaccine mandates rallied in Steinbach last week, but it was the shocking aftermath that big city Winnipeg journalists have studiously refused to report on. When one of the protesters, a 15-year-old boy, tried to enter Steinbach Regional Secondary School to get his belongings after school authorities elected to send all students home, he was met at the door by at least three police officers, who pushed him out. When he explained he wanted his books, the 300-pound Chief of the Steinbach police detachment grabbed the gangly boy by the jacket and rammed him against a school wall. It was all caught on video which quickly made its way onto social media.  The (maskless) policeman mumbled that he (the student) could be charged with assault. When observing students shouted that what the police chief had...

  And just like that , "Blackface" Justin Trudeau, following in his father's footsteps, has turned Canada into a police state. Remember how two years ago we were "all in this together"? Nurses were heroes. Truckers were heroes (Trudeau said so).  Personal care home workers were heroes. Two years later, nurses are being fired. Care home workers are being fired. Truckers demonstrating for the right to work are arrested and demonized. Snipers are stationed on the rooftops in Ottawa ready to kill protestors. Police are roughing up anti-mandate teenagers in Steinbach with impunity while the "news" media turns a blind eye. During Black History Month politicians and pundits are extolling segregation. Trudeau has seized absolute power in Canada as the Opposition parties sit silent. Under the Emergencies Act  Trudeau can prohibit travel to or from anywhere in the country; he can seize your bank account without notice, he can even assume control of all public ut...

  There is an editor in chief of daily news for CBC News. He is Brodie Fenlon, and he has a blog. Lately he has been whining about the lack of trust from the public in mainstream news outlets. Recently he lamented about the findings of the 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer, an annual study of opinion regarding trust in business, government, media and NGOs. The Edelman report found that 49 percent of Canadians agreed "that journalists and reporters are purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations." And 52 percent agreed that "most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position that with informing the public." WHYYYYYYYYYYY????  he blubbered. Well, Mr. Fenlon, meet Carol Sanders. On Tuesday Sanders was responsible for  the most shameful example of "new journalism" you could ask for . She generated a story smearing the Freedom Mandate protestors at the Legislature without re...
