Is woke a religion? Yes. But how? It’s a fusion of the “Social Gospel” and “New Age”spirituality. It’s bad. My explanation.

A @CBCOnTheCoast panel complained of "misinterpretation" & "misinformation" being used to "inflame the public" on the Cowichan decision. Do they mean Premier David Eby is being inflammatory? He told reporters today: "I understand why people are anxious. I would be anxious."

Does the bombshell Richmond Cowichan aboriginal title court decision advance reconciliation in BC? No, says NWT editor David Brett. "We are not in an age of reconciliation. We are in an age of decolonization. Decolonization is the opposite of reconciliation."

"The estimate is that 600,000 Gazans are dead, killed by Israel," said Samidoun operative Tamer Abu-Ramadan at a Vancouver anti-Israel rally on Oct 4, 2025. This exaggerated number is more than 10 times higher than the highest civilian death estimates from the Hamas-Israel war.
