    Treason Bite - Fascism With a Side of Canadian Bacon - Ep. 7

    Episode 28: Epistemic Gulag Archipelago

    Episode 28: Epistemic Gulag Archipelago

    Time codes to be updated shortly

    Episode 28 was recorded shortly after another strict lockdown was implemented in Ontario, Canada, in order to mitigate a putative third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.  The episode begins with a discussion of the covid-related oppression of GraceLife church by the health authorities in Alberta, Canada. We then continue with an analysis of how social scientists view conspiracy theories.  We note that in general, social and political scientists view conspiracy theories as problematic and they characterize those who hold such theories as having a whole host of negative personality characteristics and dubious political motives.  To solve the putative problems associated with conspiracy theories, some social scientists advocate banning conspiracy theories, censoring conspiracy theorists, infiltrating and disrupting communities that hold conspiracy theories, re-educating the population to never question their epistemic authorities, and convincing people to defer to sanctioned experts.  We discuss the problems with these proposals and explain why conspiracy theorizing is a healthy component of democratic societies and how it helps prevent tyranny.

    Rebel Roundup: Guests Kurt Schlichter, Ezra Levant & Sheila Gunn Reid

    Rebel Roundup: Guests Kurt Schlichter, Ezra Levant & Sheila Gunn Reid
    Every Friday evening on Rebel Roundup, we get together with other Rebel contributors to review the week's headlines, from the serious to the absurd. Settle in and enjoy! A Canadian now sits on death row in China, but it seems that Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland is too busy going to bat for assorted foreign nationals as opposed to taking an interest in a Canadian citizen who might pay the ultimate price. Ezra Levant joins us to try to make sense of it all. Remember back in 2015 the Trudeau Liberals promised to be the most transparent federal government in Canadian history? Well, that was then and this is now. Sheila Gunn Reid will explain how the Trudeau Liberals are all about suppressing information that should be made public. Talk about a Mexican standoff! President Trump is insistent upon receiving funding for a wall on the southern border, while Democrats are refusing to compromise or negotiate. Kurt Schlicter will offer his take on how things are likely to play out in the days ahead. And finally letters. I’ll share some of your feedback on my commentary on a cop who inexplicably concluded that a senior citizen who was returning about $9 worth of empties to a beer store, was surely a drunk driver and threatened the man with a $2,000 fine unless he submitted to a breathalyzer test.

    Rebel Roundup: Guests Ezra Levant, Amanda Head & Sheila Gunn Reid!

    Rebel Roundup: Guests Ezra Levant, Amanda Head & Sheila Gunn Reid!
    Every Friday evening on Rebel Roundup, we get together with other Rebel contributors to review the week's headlines, from the serious to the absurd. Settle in and enjoy! With a simple tweet, President Trump says the US is done with the war in Syria. Cue the outrage. Ezra Levant has all the details. The little Alberta town of Nisku was ground zero earlier this week for a pro-pipeline protest that saw more than 2,000 trucks roll in. Sheila Gunn Reid was there to capture the anger that’s now reaching boiling point. And some good news regarding the ongoing war on Christmas as at least some radio stations have lifted their ludicrous ban on Baby its Cold Outside. Amanda Head will explain all. And finally, letters. Tonight, I’ll share some of your responses on my attempt to get Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen to come clean about the UN Global Compact on Migration. His response? He locked himself in a room. I’m not making this up.
