The Canadian “Population Crisis” That Isn’t
Leave a commentFeb 5, 2024 by Rua Lupa
There is an ongoing argument in Canada that there is a “Population Crisis” wherein the immigration rate has brought in over a million people last year. This argument ignores the bigger picture

Canada Flag Showing Truth
Jun 27, 2021 by Rua Lupa
The time for words is over, now is the time to act on those words. Otherwise those words are empty and worthless, and the Flag displayed here is a truer representation of Canada, a Canada that is okay with these atrocities.

Identity: Me, Them – Us
Leave a commentDec 11, 2020 by Rua Lupa
We all have an identity, it forms who we present ourselves as and informs who we align with. It is something we do not really talk about outside of an Us versus Them narrative though. I think that should change, because I believe that is where most of our societal conflicts stem from.

Dear Cottagers in COVID-19 Crisis
Leave a commentApr 5, 2020 by Rua Lupa
A lot of people never have that option and do not expect to because it is not and will not be in reach no matter how hard and long they work or save. Having a cottage is not as common or normal an experience as it appears to be expected – it is a reflection of wealth status. So a 2nd home should not be treated as equal as an only home – it is not a necessity, it is a luxury.

On The Damning of The Milk Industry
Leave a commentMar 2, 2018 by Rua Lupa
The Milk Industry is making a splash lately with how Millennials have ended up bring back Milk Couriers. Great news for those who love sustainability. Unfortunately many members of the public have taken this news and decided to damn the milk industry all together, citing many things that are indeed harmful practices.

Save Herbalists from ‘Alternative Medicine’
Leave a commentOct 23, 2017 by Rua Lupa
The problem is that there is a conflation between ‘alternative medicine’ and ‘medicine’, and along with that, that ‘alternative medicine’ is even an acknowledged term to begin with.

Millennial Reality Check
Leave a commentAug 23, 2017 by Rua Lupa
When viewing these I frequently internally laugh with the thought of “so long” because these industries that are crying havoc are really just being revealed as the unnecessary things that they are and will not be missed.
The claims of demise I did find odd were,

Where Rapists Come From
Leave a commentMay 31, 2017 by Rua Lupa
It needs to be remembered that while rapists should not be excused from their actions – they should also not be treated as forever damaged or purely evil, but as someone who needs help to get on a better track of mind with regards to consent.

Political Pragmatist Rant

Funny thing, I may agree with the vast majority of Progressive, Liberal, ‘Leftist’, Socialist, ideas. But damn it, I am a pragmatist. Waving Banners and Yelling your ideas and expecting instant results is no way to get what you want…

Open Letter To Liberals & Canadians On Electoral Reform
Leave a commentFeb 4, 2017 by Rua Lupa
So far I have been very please with Justin Trudeau, until the back peddling with fixing the Election system. In that I agree we Canadians need to put his feet to the fire – and I am not going to be whining about a pet system being the only good system – any of the proportional systems, and Alternative Vote systems are a vast improvement to the First Past the Post system.

Coalition Urges Facebook To Be Transparent About Censorship, Racism
Leave a commentJan 19, 2017 by Rua Lupa
Now that traditionally minority groups in the USA are becoming equal in population and probably will become the new majority, the racist propaganda has increased and has gone to the point of being politically acceptable rhetoric. Leading to an openly racist nominee to be elected President.

Canadian Reaction To Trump Presidency
