Welcome back from the summer break. We trust it was refreshing and replenishing for you.

This month our theme revisits that of Truth v Lies. The lies have become so normalized that they are too often glossed over. It is helpful to remind ourselves where Truth is being buried and subverted.

We are however seeing signs that the pendulum might finally be swinging back and we are hopeful that the current madness will soon be a thing of the past.

We are embarking on a social media campaign to broaden the spread of our message. This, as with most things, will involve us in additional cost. Any donation you make to help us with this would be greatly appreciated.

Truth v Lies

The Pendulum is Swinging

Long may it continue...

This month's theme is a sequel to our May Truth v Lies bulletin. Whilst much of the news continues to be discouraging it is becomingly increasingly obvious that the "Emperor has no clothes".

Lies can only be sustained for so long before Truth must emerge.

This month's bulletin has more good news than bad. The pendulum is poised and ready to swing from lies and deception back towards Truth and normality

Long may this trend continue.

If the Lies must be Listened to,

the Truth must be Told too.

Some examples ....

CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, GEN Z IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY RELIGIOUS - What we're seeing among Gen Z often begins with a reaction to the failures of the beliefs, teachings and projects of the contemporary world.

ARE WE FREE TO OPPOSE LAND ACKOWLEDGMENTS? - John Carpay, President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms responds to recent attempts to sanction those who question the use of Land Acknowledgements in public places, especially schools. 

  

THE ISSUE OF ABORTION IS OFF LIMITS FOR DEBATE . THERE IS ONLY ONE POSITION RECOGNIZED - THAT ABORTION BE READILY AVAILABLE FOR ANY REASON - This cone of silence on abortion was developed by the feminist movement, blindly supported by the left-wing legacy media

MOST ALBERTA PARENTS OPPOSE CHILDREN HAVING ACCESS TO SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL IN SCHOOL LIBRARIES - the Alberta government stated that there is “strong public support” for measures to protect children from accessing age-inappropriate materials in the province’s school libraries.

School Board Updates

ONTARIO UPDATE

  • MINISTER OF EDUCATION OPEN TO ELIMINATING SCHOOL TRUSTEES - Ontario's education minister says the way schools are governed in the province is "outdated" and that, as he pursues a review, he's open to eliminating elected trustees altogether.

  • TIME TO ELIMINATE "DISCOVERY LEARNING" AND RETURN TO TIME TESTED MATH INSTRUCTION - Canadian students are nearly two grade levels behind in their math skills than where they were 20 years ago despite more money being spent on K-12 education across the country. This is unacceptable.

  • A REFLECTION ON CATHOLIC SCHOOLS - FRIGHTENINGLY LITTLE FAITH

    " As I look back upon the years that I have just completed in Hamilton’s publicly funded Catholic school board, I question whether “Catholic” is a term that can even be used to describe them.

     

    When most people think of a Catholic school, they think of Holy Mass, prayer times, and a carefully structured environment, not realizing the death of conscience that often results from government funding.  While schools in the Hamilton Wentworth Catholic District School Board might claim to be Catholic, they are full of wrongful teachings and disguised slashes at the tapestry of faith."
