Hello all! Welcome back to another newsletter. The schedule may be a little chaotic right now, but the format still remains orderly:
- Ideas I’m thinking about
- Resources that are upgrading my quality of life
- The latest from me
We’re in full political and tinfoil hat mode today, so brace yourselves.
Ideas
This might be a little extreme, but if you’re actively opposed to Freedom Convoy, there’s part of me that doesn’t even want you in my life. Even though I may still love you at a higher level (as I do with many whose ties I had with have recently been severed from either direction), your opposition to our collective freedom tells me you’re brainwashed, lacking critical thinking, and have weak pattern recognition — 3 things I have no time and energy for. It’s not cool to be an authoritarian.
Though I understand where people are coming from when they communicate their inconveniences from the freedom convoy, they have simply forgotten about all the inconveniences that have occurred in the past 2 years — shielded under false virtues of “the greater good” — and they have no idea the amount of inconvenience they’ll experience if a movement like this doesn’t succeed.
Everything that the government has said so far about the freedom convoy could be a description of themselves for the last 2 years throughout this “pandemic”. Any time they address the topic, replace freedom convoy or truckers with “government” and you’ll be intrigued at what you find.
If we get our freedoms back, you can still continue complying with these nonsensical COVID practices — it just won’t be at the cost of others.
The major switch-ups in the US’ left-wing COVID narrative and restrictions in the past few weeks didn’t come from “the science changing”. The data has been clear for a long, long time — lockdowns, masks and vaccines were one big lie. But they just completely rejected and censored any counter-research and data because it didn’t fit their agenda. The thing that did change, however, is the time remaining before mid-term elections in the US. And if they kept down the path they were on, they were going to be absolutely obliterated, so they pulled back to give themselves a chance. But in Canada, we don’t have another federal election for another 3 and a half years, so Justin Trudeau is doubling down and attempting to evolve (or devolve) into Tyrant Trudeau.
Getting freedoms back after they’ve been taken away isn’t supposed to be easy. You’re going to face challenges, setbacks and hurdles — especially from those who have their power and control threatened (cough, Tyrant Trudeau). But in the end, it’s a mission worth persevering for. Shoutout to the truckers for being brave as fuck throughout this time. I appreciate you.
It’s hard for me to care how my local leftist hates the freedom convoy when history is being written by these truckers in real-time as we speak and almost everyone on the left is going to be on the wrong side of it.
I struggle to understand how people can go about life so casually when one of the most important things that we’re ever going to experience in our lives is happening as we speak. The freedom convoy is going to be looked back on as one of the most amazing large-scale peaceful protests of all time and people are having their bank accounts seized by this psychopath in office. And yet people stay silent and post on their Instagram stories about their lattes or their weekend plans. It’s painful for me. Speak the fuck up. History is being written. It’s critical that you support this movement right now however you can instead of just going back to business as usual, because if you don’t, business as usual won’t exist for long.
With Trudeau’s recent responses — refusing to meet with peaceful protestors, declaring the emergency act, seizing bank accounts of significant people who’ve supported the truckers — the conversation about if this was ever about health is officially over. This is a massive push for power and control and anyone with objective eyes can see it now — again, we tried to tell you! Tyrant Trudeau is digging his own grave. Once this is over, he’s as good as gone. And I can’t wait. Even his own party is beginning to turn on him — as they should. I just hope that who replaces him — hopefully Pierre Poilievre — is good to his word and not another puppet.
Communism isn’t introduced directly. Otherwise, it would be heavily pushed back on. Rather, step by step, slowly but surely, it’s ever-so-subtly implemented under the guise of “morality”, “doing what’s right” and “for the greater good”. It’s a subconscious, adjacent implementation. Then, one day we open our eyes and realize we’re in boiling hot water — but it’s too late.
The push for power and control is far from over. Though COVID may be seemingly done, this is just the beginning. We have a long decade ahead of us. If we choose to do what’s right throughout this time, we’re going to have the freest, most unified world that we’ve ever had. And if we don’t, we’re going to be globally enslaved and oppressed at levels that we’ve never seen before in history.

The Tinder Swindler. A great story and a masterclass on editing. Over half of the film was made up of digital recreations of screenshots and screen recordings on phones and laptops, and yet it was one of the most engaging documentaries I’ve ever watched. I was deeply inspired by this documentary — to the point that after I finished it, I left my room and just let out an “uhhhhh” type noise at the top of my lungs as I urged my sister and Mom to watch it — and I now feel very confident that I could take seemingly dull digital content and make it super engaging.
Comedian collapses right after making a joke about how she’s fully, fully vaxxed and mocked god, only to be immediately struck down. This should scare you. This is genuinely just the beginning of the negative effects that are coming down the line, as the world was force vaccinated through false virtue with an unproven, experimental drug that was developed in an unsafe timeline. We tried to warn you, but you just called us conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers. I really feel bad for how brainwashed people can be. I linked up my initial response in the comments of this video, too.
Trust the science by Alex Berenson. A quick read on how much of a fuck job the past 2 years have been.
Jordan Peterson on PBD Podcast. I really enjoyed this episode and took copious notes. JP covers why he’s currently having far more impact than the prime minister could, his perspective on Trudeau and the truckers, the upcoming American elections, etc. Such an intelligent dude who gives me so much hope for the future and my trajectory, too, if I keep up my current rate of growth and evolution.
Bobby Sausalito on the Canadian Freedom Convoy. Amazing clip. He’s right. This will go down in history as one of the most large-scale, peaceful protests of all time. What a difference they’ve shown that you can have without any violence. It’s incredibly admirable. Thank you to all those who participated in this beautiful movement.

My 2021 reflection. Super delayed on publishing this, but I spent a good 12 days on this back in January. I think it was a good summary of my year. If you are interested in learning about how I grew in the past year, I hope you’ll take some time to read it 🙂
My inner dilemma with creating high-quality content. An honest look into the upsides and downsides of caring about quality and how it affects your creativity and beyond.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading.
Until next week, be well and be aware.
