So where was this anger when Tony Timpa died in exactly the same way? Why is Black Lives Matter silent over the death of retired police captain David Dorn at the hands of looters and so many others? What kind of sick and depraved individual takes video of Dorn's death and uploads it to Facebook Live instead of rendering aid? Some people may not like what I have to say, but it has to be said. We need real conversations, and BLM is not at all interested. I'm angry too. But I have some pointed questions for those who buy the narrative BLM is selling.

]]> Free speech on Canadian campuses, MAID legislation and religious interference Randy Tyson 01:39:37 The Legion of Reason Podcast ep. 269 for January 27, 2020.... Some final thoughts on wokeness in the entertainment industry, including the motivation behind the attacks on movies like Joker (which have begun again with its 11 Oscar nominations) and Ford v Ferrari, the destruction of Star Trek and all it once represented, and the difference between my position and that of the blue-checkmark crowd. Then it's off my chest once and for all. I swear! The world has lost a comic genius in Terry Jones of Monty Pyton fame. We look at his contribution to the skeptic and atheism. A University of Alberta anti-choice student group has won a court battle. UAlberta Pro-Life claimed the whopping $17,500 price tag on security for an event they were hosting infringed on their freedom of speech. The appellate court agreed. We have a look at the implications of this decision in a country where freedom of speech is not enshrined in its constitution (or in this case its Charter of Rights and Freedoms). Coincidentally, Alberta's Advanced Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides has directed post-secondary institutions to adopt free speech principles based on the University of Chicago model. A Quebec court has struck down the arbitrary and frankly ridiculous criterion of "foreseeable death" will be no more come March 12, leaving the federal and Quebec provincial governments scrambling to fill the void. Justice Minister David Lametti, who has made numerous statements about expanding MAID eligeability, plans to table legislation in February. Public consultation in the form of a questionnaire on the Government of Canada website ends tonight at midnight. Quebec is readying its own legislation which was to include accessability for reasons of mental health, but has put a hold on this provision. Meanwhile, the BC government in Vancouver is threatening to withdraw public funding for the Irene Thomas Hospice as it refuses to allow MAID on its premises. Catholic Watch... And of course Catholic authority is inciting "resistance". Pope Frank has come out unequivocally that MAID is not acceptable. Speak for yourself, Frank. They've been active across The Pond on the Isle of Man as well. Locally, Edmonton's Archbishop Richard Smith and minions have sent a pastoral letter read in Alberta and North West Territories parishes. Do we have a replacement for the retired Bishop Fred Henry? Quack Tracts... An appellate court in BC has ordered the vaccination of two children over the objections of their mother, who questioned the safety of immunization. While the judge in this case got things right, we look at the problem of adjudicating science in a courtroom. We didn't get through all the topics listed here, so we'll finish next episode.

The topic du jour has been welling up inside me for some time and I need to get this rant out. We'll have a look at how our entertainment has been hijacked by those who want to use it as a propaganda tool for their political agendas, starting patient zero (Ghostbusters 2016) and ending with some truly spectacular failures. And of course men are to blame for poor box office showings.

Seriously. They actually say this.

And movies like Joker and Ford v Ferrari can't be allowed to do well at the box office or at major film award events.

We will finish the discussion with one of the most godawrful shows - nay! THE worst thing on any medium.

In other news, in a BC court a judge has sided with a father who wished his children to be vaccinated over the mother's objections.

An anti-choice student group at the University of Alberta claiming its free speech was suppressed by being forced to pay an exorbitant amount for security at an event has won in court.

The federal government is in the process of fixing the mess Jody Wilson-Raybould left MAID legislation in and wants your input.

At Sartoga Springs High School parents were up in arms about an assignment wherein students calculated their privilege, as if a single number could sum up anyone's life experiences. Victimhood culture poisons everything, just like religion.

Catholic Watch...
Easter has come and gone for another year. Pope denounces the "glitter of wealth" in front of giant gold-guilded candle inside of opulent St. Peter's Basilica, designed to project the Church's power and wealth, not to mention the favor of God. No one has ever accused the Vatican of a good sense of self awareness.

Meanwhile, non-Roman Catholic catholic churches are on the rise in the US. I wonder why?

New Jersey governor Phil Murphy signed a bill into law allowing medical assistance in dying in that state. This despite his Catholic beliefs and the protestations of bishops. Yes, Virginia, it is possible to act in the best interests of all despite one's personal beliefs.

A Philadelphia court ruled against the archdiocese who took the city to court over its refusal to renew a contract to place children in foster care. Why? The Catholic Social Services refused even in principle placing foster children with same-sex couples. One question - why the hell is Catholic Social Services a thing?

The current measles crisis is the worst outbreak in 25 years. Thanks, Obama!

Hundreds protest in Washington for the "right" to not vaccinate their children. 

Organizers of an upcoming "natural health" (as if there's an "unnatural health"...) conference on Toronto have canceled the appearance of prominent anti-vaxxer Del Bigtree.

Sentencing hearings have concluded for Jennifer and Jeromie Clark, found guilty of criminal negligence causing death and failing to provide the necessaries of life in the death of their 14-month old son John.

Nun abuse - the latest scandal to come out of Catholicism - is coming to the fore.

This is an election year in Alberta. Anti-choice groups have been busy pushing their candidates in the Ultra-conservative Party. Despite assurances from UCP leader Jason Kenney that he will not open the abortion "debate", we should not be sanguine about this.

Eye on Islam...

Asia Bibi, recently acquitted on charges of that fictitious crime blasphemy, is likely headed to Canada. Let's see... Canada's middle finger extended to the Barbaric State of Saudi Arabia - check. Canada's middle finger extended to Pakistan - check. Who's next?

February 1st is World Hijab Day.

Screw that. When these women take off their hijabs in support of their sisters in the Middle East or in families living in the western world whose values are stuck in the 7th century, I might have some modicum of respect. But I will never - NEVER! - allow the normalization of an instrument of misogyny, religion be damned!

A petition to Nike to recall their Air Max shoes has been started at Change.org. The reason? The logo on the sole when viewed upside down looks like the word "Allah". I"m not kidding. Nike has a recent history of moralizing, unless it hurts their bottom line. And of course, CAIR is involved.

Counter Terrorism Policing UK wants citizens to call police if you see anyone at a hardware store buying knives or hammers while sinister music is playing.

The Twitterverse responds negatively. Who would have seen that coming?

The two Laurier "professors" at the center of the Lindsay Shepherd scandal, Nathan Rambukkana and Herbert Pimlott, are suing Shepherd over their unsolicited slanderous comments comparing Jordan Peterson to Hitler.

Seriously. They're blaming her for Peterson's lawsuit for the comments they made of their own volition because it was her act of recording the inquisition they formed that drew Peterson's attention to them.

Catholic Watch

The Vatican official handling cases of sexual abuse has resigned after allegations leveled against him surface for - wait for it! - sexual abuse.

And finally a good news story in Catholic Watch. Governor Andrew Cuomo, himself a practicing Catholic, signed into law a pro-choice bill, causing bishops in Tennessee and Texas (who couldn't have voted for him anyway) to call for his excommunication. Cuomo dared to suggest that his religious views are separate from is gubernatorial duties. What a concept!

American Theocracy Today...

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders claims God wanted Donald Trump to become president. Does this mean that God fixed the election? Why have elections if God always gets the candidate it wants?

Quack Tracks

A judge has ruled that the Stephans will not have their legal fees paid for by the Province of Alberta.

The Regressive Left Files

Comedian Zach Poitras has been denied a spot to perform at the Université du Québec
à Montréal. The reason? He's white and has dreadlocks. The event, the Snowflake Comedy Club, could not have been named more appropriately.

Catholic Watch

A representative of Alberta's Catholic school system says “The courts have told us that we have to be Catholic or there’s no reason for us to exist.” Guess what? There's no reason for you to exist.

A Catholic priest in Calgary's NE quadrant, Malcolm Joe D’Souza, has been charged with sexual assault. I'd chalk this up to a one-off, but over a 26-year span he had been moved between a number of parishes in southern Alberta.

Sound familiar?

And, yes. This was on Bishop Fred Henry's watch.

Embattled ex-Cardinal Wuerl claims lapses in memory over having heard about sexual abuse allegations against Theodore McCarrick. Someone should give Wuerl a Rolodex to keep them all straight.

Miscellaneous...

The two men behind the free Toronto "newspaper" Your Ward News which, among other things, wants rape decriminalized and claims a bloodthirsty Jewish conspiracy is afoot, will appeal their hate speech conviction.

On our plate for this episode….

Eye on Islam

While on vacation with her family in Kuwait, 18-year old Rahaf al-Qunun escaped in a bid to seek asylum in Australia. Detained by Thai authorities at the request of the Barbaric State, social media put pressure on Thai immigration officials to rescind their original decision to repatriate her into the clutches of her patriarchal family. Now she’s on her way to Canada, and that makes me very proud of this great nation. In an era where social media is all too often used to punish those who do not meet ideological purity tests, this is a win.

Pressure from the Council on American-Islamic Relations has forced Amazon to remove certain products including door and bath mats they deemed offensive as they were imprinted with Islamic calligraphy, references to the Prophet Muhammad and Quranic scripture. I’d be more conciliatory to this had CAIR kept its big mouth shut and not said some very disturbing things.

Married women in the Barbaric State of KSA rejoice! You can get the news that your husband has divorced you via a text message. How progressive! (I’m not making this up.)

Catholic Watch

The anti-Christ has been revealed! The head of the Russian Orthodox Church says the data-gathering capacity of devices such as smartphones risks bringing humanity closer to his arrival. Too late! Google is already here.

Here we go again…. German cardinal Walter Brandmüller makes the claim that homosexuality is to blame for the Catholic Church’s predatory priest scandals. We unpack what he has to say in terms of not only his premises, but to their logical conclusions, ones he won’t like at all.
