After the collapse of support for Erin O’Toole, and his removal from leadership, Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre announced Saturday he will be running for the Conservative Party’s leadership.  WATCH:

Canadian Treepers, what do you think?

Is this guy the one who can make the difference?

CANADA – […] Poilievre, 42, becomes the first candidate seeking to replace Erin O’Toole, who was voted out as leader earlier this week.

Born in Calgary, Poilievre has been MP for the Ottawa riding of Carleton since 2004, and held a number of cabinet positions under then Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

[…]  Poilievre gained a number of endorsements minutes after announcing his candidacy on Saturday.

In reply to his tweet, former cabinet minister John Baird got behind his onetime caucus colleague, writing that Poilievre “has the brains and the backbone and will make a great Prime Minister. I am beyond thrilled to endorse him!”

A number of MPs have also started to endorse Poilievre, including Ontario’s Melissa Lantsman, who was elected in the fall.

“No question — Pierre is the answer to a strong & united Conservative Party,” Lantsman said in a tweet.

Alberta MP John Barlow was also quick to back Poilievre.

“He understands the issues facing western Canadians,” Barlow said in a video posted on Twitter. (read more)

This never ends well.

Joe Rogan has self-flagellated while treading water in a pool of Alinsky piranhas.

This never ends well.

Apparently, the Lightbringer for all modern Alinsky tribal followers, Barack Obama, triggered the final thumbs down and threatened the financial mechanism that supported the embattled Mr. Rogan, Spotify Inc. {LINK}

With the twitch of his pinkie ring, Teh One, the bringer of all racial and progressive enlightenment, Barack Obama, forced the ashamed and humiliated Joe Rogan to kneel before the altar of wokeism and apologize for the mortal sin of using the “N” word.

Earlier on Saturday Mr. Rogan assessed his bank account, glanced at the tin cup and used Woke-Insta to profess his sins and beg forgiveness from the leftist tribe. {View Here}

In an effort to avoid his cancellation, Joe Rogan denounced his skin color, renounced his former shameful conduct and announced his new enlightenment.  Rogan predictably declared the oft familiar last ditch effort phrase, “this is a teachable moment.”

Quickly Joe Rogan’s newly subscribed conservative audience was warm to appreciate his humility and offer their forgiveness.  However, that tribe is not the Spotify audience who manage the coliseum of his indentured servitude.  Despite their protestations to the contrary, the progressive and enlightened woke tribe never relent until they have achieved their goal; the removal of all Joe Rogan flesh and death by ten thousand screaming piranha bites.

For the professional and political left, apology is weakness.  Weakness must be punished.  The Alinsky clan bait their victims with the false promises of forgiveness; if you just cower strongly enough, bend meekly enough, apologize sincerely enough, it will be okay.  But forgiveness is never provided, it is never okay.

The millions of dollars that Joe Rogan might be worth to the corporation known as Spotify are irrelevant to the swarm.  Indeed, the mob view higher value as a challenge, a new height for the wokeness to achieve.  Rogan just bled into the pool of that swarm.  There is no exit now.

The professional political left does not control media in all forms as a business proposition, for them it is a weapon.   Rogan’s financial value to Spotify means naught – his cancellation is only a matter of time and contractual exit.

He’s done; another sacrifice on the altar of Wokeism.  Joe Rogan stuck the fork in himself, another irrelevant notch on the belt to be forgotten with hundreds, if not thousands, of previous notches.  Everything now is simply a formality.

We’ve seen this cancellation show too many times to pretend we don’t know how it ends.

(The Hill) – Podcaster Joe Rogan apologized on Saturday for his repeated past use of racial slurs.

“There’s been a lot of shit from the old episodes of the podcast that I wish I hadn’t said, or had said differently. This is my take on the worst of it,” Rogan said in the caption of an almost five-minute video posted on Instagram.

Recently, Rogan has faced controversy as multiple musical artists have called on Spotify to stop streaming their songs over COVID-19 misinformation on his popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” to which the streaming service purchased exclusive rights.

One of the artists, India Arie, posted a compilation video showing Rogan using the n-word on his podcast. Video also showed the podcaster making a joke about the movie “Planet of the Apes” after he was dropped off in a Black neighborhood. 

“There’s nothing I can do to take that back. I wish I could. Obviously, that’s not possible,” Rogan stated. “I certainly wasn’t trying to be racist, and I certainly would never want to offend someone for entertainment with something as stupid as racism.”  (read more)

India Arie didn’t create that compilation video.  She was just a vessel to deliver it.  The bringer of all racial enlightenment, and organizer of all political leverage, created that ‘worst of Joe Rogan’ compilation video, with purpose.

My prediction on how this story likely ends….

For these characters it’s all about money. That is the rule.  Everything is about money; everything.  That is the currency of the leverage and ideology.  For a small indulgency fee (paid by Spotify), Teh One will appear on Rogan’s podcast, and watch how quickly all things around Joe Rogan modify – including his voice.

Just a guess.

It really does seem like something out of a modern-day Monty Python skit.  Officials in the city of Quebec City, Canada were fearful the pesky unwashed peasants might make their way to the parliament buildings, so they blocked the passages and sent guards to ensure no one could traverse the ramparts.

Good grief, if the politicians only had a drawbridge, you could be sure they would have pulled it up to keep the peasants away and survive the siege.  In an effort to retain their tenuous grip on power, Canadian officials have become a modern parody of medieval times.

Behind the walls, the powdered class grasp their goblets, drown themselves in the pontificating nectar of elitism, and hold frantic court filled with dark imaginings of unvaccinated ruffians scaling the walls.  There are no political parties here, this is us, the elites, against them.

You can see it in their behavior, the ruse of the party system is gone.  The tender heads of the Liberal clan resting in the assuring lap of their Conservative defenders.  Conservative men in skinny pants, brave enough to white knight for the liberals in distress.  Well, brave enough until the rubes break through the barriers maintained by the media guards.

Oh, the humanity. The jesters try to distract from the honking, yes, unnerving and deafening honking… all that honking.  Honking, the auditory violence that reaffirms, to the pantywaist pearl-clutchers, that this is indeed an uprising.  Honking… they just won’t stop honking.  Quick, summon scribes to dispatch pamphlets that honking will not be permitted in village or valley.

Honking, as if the deep and thundering sound of Saxon horns were echoing through the courtyard.  The farmers’ tractors suddenly look like trebuchets being assembled around the streets.  The sound of alarm, the triggered fear befalling the receiving audience.

As noted by King Trudeau, all of this must be stopped if the Potemkin village of Canadian Democracy is to be saved.  Alas, as dispatchers and scribes return from visits to other parts of the land, it’s not just Ottawa and Quebec City that are besieged, it’s almost every outpost everywhere.

The eyes of the elite dart with every parliamentary report.  They gasp at the report of wildlings riding horses who have joined the insurrection. Whispers of the Russians, or Cossacks, or something… it’s got to be.

Premier Jason Kenney announced that Alberta will lift all COVID measures amid the ongoing protests. Kenney is far from empathizing with the protestors. Instead, he is demanding that the protests come to an immediate stop, which was the ultimate goal of the Freedom Convoy. “No responsible government makes policy by negotiating with people engaged in such unlawful conduct. Period. Full stop,” Kenney said. “We fully expect our law enforcement agencies to restore and maintain public safety and law and order.” This is exactly what the truckers have been requesting. Pass the message along to the prime minister.

Kenney will announce plans for repealing the vaccine passport next week. “My message to those who are frustrated about COVID-19 policies is this: I hear you loud and clear. You are right to point to the damaging impact of restrictions.” Kenney went on to say that the omicron wave was less severe than expected, and many Albertans have achieved natural immunity. COVID is finally coming to an end.
