This article originally appeared in the National Post. By Jan Matejcek, February 2, 2026 I grew up in Communist Czechoslovakia, and after the Iron Curtain fell in 1989, I served proudly on the board of Czech President Václav Havel’s Vision ’97 Foundation. Having known him personally, I can say with certainty that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plans do not at all align with Havel’s vision. In his Davos speech, Carney invoked Havel’s essay, “The Power of the Powerless,” to draw upon Havel’s insight that the Soviet system relied upon the capitulation of ordinary people to the lies of Communist ideology. According to Carney, the rules-based international order has likewise been “partially false,” a system of lies held up by nations’ willingness to avoid “calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.” Vaclav Havel, a playwright turned dissident, gained international fame during the 1968 Prague Spring, which was brutally suppressed by Soviet troops. Refusing to emigrate, he …
Canada’s PM Carney lied to Canadians telling them that he brought up the topic of human rights in his past trip negotiating a new trade deal with PRC. He lied. The records show that he never did. Don’t be Canada.
Yesterday, a memo went out to all Catholic school board trustees and directors of education from the Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association, OCSTA. The topic: promoting and protecting Catholic education in Ontario. The directive tells trustees to do advocacy work for Catholic education because there is potential education governance reform. The memo states, "... we strongly encourage you to continue to reach out to your local MPP’s, Catholic School Councils (parents), Parish organizations and other community groups." Moreover, "We invite you to indicate to those you speak to of the crucial importance of maintaining locally elected School Trustees in each of Ontario’s four publicly funded school systems and to remind them of the 200-year significant positive difference Catholic Trustees have made in the lives of students, their families, our Church and the fabric of society." The memo urges trustees to make a case to politicians, parents and the community about the importance of …
The Director of National Intelligence and Counterterrorism Center Joseph Kent has resigned from President's Donald Trump's administration. His statement is all we need to know about the unnecessary war against Iran by the United States and Israel: "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this was due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby." Kent's words carry weight because he has loyally served in the military, and his wife Shannon was killed fighting ISIS. We need many more men like Kent with the coglioni to tell the truth. Why aren't those at the top who began and wanted this war not sending their children to fight it? Not one nation has responded with a yes to Trump's appeal to come and help secure the Strait of Hormuz. Perhaps in time they as wrists as twisted economically. The passage has been shut down by Iran from the start of the war. About 20% of the world's oil …

We have just learned about another reason why PM Marc Carney's Liberal government has little respect for the working Canadian. The government has decided to appeal the Emergencies Act Ruling to the Supreme Court. Yes, the government wants the higher court to rule that no rights were violated when the former PM Justin Trudeau used the Emergencies Act in 2022 to forcibly bring an end the Truckers' Freedom Convoy. Remember the largely peaceful protest, that made international news? It was about getting rid of vaccine mandates and lockdowns. The government didn't like that. Even though we now know that the experimental was not "safe and effective" and as claimed by public health authorities and the governemnt. The government was wrong about the shot. In fact, the so called "vaccine" has harmed many Canadians and some have died as a result. No Matter. The Liberals insists on pushing the lie that they were right in declaring martial law against the truckers. This appeal comes after the …
Today the liturgy celebrates St. Patrick. The fifth century saint who was instrumental in evangelizing Ireland. Sadly, like the rest of West, the faith there is in decline. We post the reflection of the day from the Magnificat. It was written by St. Patrick who is the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick, pray for us! Raised Up by the Might One I was a simple man and a wanderer without any learning who knew not how to provide for what would come later (Eccl 4:13). But I know one thing without any doubt and with the greatest of assurance: that be fore I was punished (Ps 119:67) I was like a stone lying in the deepest mire, and then, he who is mighty came and, in his mercy, raised me up. He most truly raised me on high and set me on the top of the rampart. So I ought to cry out with all my strength and render thanks to the Lord, for his blessings are indeed great, here and in eternity, and beyond all that the human mind can imagine. So now, be amazed you both small and great that fear …
Here's one study that shows the potential use of ivermectin for the possible the treatment of cancer. It's tilted, "Ivermectin as an Alternative Anticancer Agent: A Review of Its Chemical Properties and Therapeutic Potential." According to the Canadian government, such studies have not been done. Wrong. The study conclusion: "This review highlights the growing body of evidence supporting ivermectin (IVM) as a potential anticancer agent. Its chemical characteristics, such as high molecular weight, lipophilicity, and low water solubility pose significant challenges for systemic application; however, advances in drug delivery strategies, including nanoencapsulation and co-crystallization, show promise in overcoming these barriers." In short, ivermectin may help those who are suffering from cancer. The answer from those in charge should be: let's investigate further and find out. Not so in Canada. The use of ivermectin is banned. The claim is that Health Canada has not approved its use. …
If you click on the link, you will told that the page doesn’t exist. It does but Google took it down last night. I’m told I have violated Community Guidelines. I no longer can read my own blog. I suspect my violation is that I have dared to write about Dr. William Makis and his use of ivermectin for cancer patients. The government and medical establishment can kill and harm people with an experimental shot but don’t write about the possible health benefits of ivermectin. We are still under the umbrella of covid-19 controls. In plain English, this is censorship. Please do help spread the word.
Fri Mar 13, 2026 - 2:06 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has joined in the chorus of voices who maintain that the phrase “Christ is King” is anti-Semitic. In a sit-down interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network this week, Cruz argued that those who use the phrase intend it to be an insult to Jewish people. “I’m really troubled by how the phrase ‘Christ is King’ is being used,” Cruz said. “I agree with the statement ‘Christ is King,’ although it is being used online in a way that is meant to say, ‘Screw you Jews.’ It is being used in a context very directly to say, ‘I hate Jews,’ and that’s … an online code word.” Ted Cruz says the phrase “Christ is King” has become offensive because it is now being used in an antisemitic way. According to Cruz, the phrase is being twisted online into an anti-Jewish code used to target Jews. He claims the groyper groups are using it as a rallying phrase… pic.twitter.com/kOmdSmRZ7q — Shadow of Ezra (@ShadowofEzra) March …
The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’Association (OECTA) has released the findings of a survey titled, A System Under Strain: Violence and Harassment in Ontario Schools. The bottom line: “Violence has become the ‘new normal’ in classrooms across the province." The survey shows an increase in violence and harassment against teachers and students. Teachers are reporting an average of about seven violent incidents a year. They have also lost trust in the present school reporting system in dealing with the violence because they know nothing gets done. According to the president of the teachers' union René Jansen in de Wal, the problem is the result of government under-funding, crowded classrooms, teacher shortages and lack of mental health help. And that 2slgbtqia+, black, indigenous, socialized and disabled teachers get more of the violence. We have heard that line before. But if the report is true, where has OECTA been all these years? De Wal rightly concludes that schools must be …
Mar 14 Consecration of Exterior Goods to the Blessed Virgin Mary American Catholic priest, theologian and exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger has written a prayer titled, “Consecration of One’s Exterior Goods to the Blessed Virgin Mary.” It's a wonderful prayer, especially in a time of crisis, to put everything we have under the protection of Our Blessed Mother. Let her take care of our possessions and our lives and do what is best for us and our families in this world and the next. Consecration of Exterior Goods to the Blessed Virgin Mary I, (Name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy hands the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.

Fri Mar 13, 2026 - 3:49 pm EDTFri Mar 13, 2026 - 7:20 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — In a viral clip, Doug Wilson, an Idaho preacher and “Christian nationalist,” who was previously invited to the Pentagon by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to lead a worship service, said that, ideally, Catholics should be banned from having Marian and Eucharistic processions, calling them acts of “idolatry.” Wilson, the co-founder of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), who frequently preaches on “Christian nationalism,” emphasized during an interview that in an ideal America, Catholics would be allowed to keep their churches and ring their church bells. However, they would not be permitted to hold public Marian processions, and they would likely not be allowed to hold public Eucharistic processions, because, according to Wilson, these would constitute public acts of “idolatry,” even comparing them to Hindu processions. Hegseth has notably invited Wilson to lead a February worship service …
A former television talking head is sadly not only the U.S. Defence Secretary but is now telling Catholics what they can and cannot believe. These people are mentally and spiritually sick. And it’s scary to know that he’s leading and informing Trump about the unnecessary war against Iran. God help us.

By Igor Stravinsky (Teacher, commentator) The Peel District School Board is going through its annual ritual of staffing allocation for the next school year (in this case 2026-2027) and it doesn’t look good. Substantial enrollment declines are precipitating hundreds of teacher layoffs. Funding is per pupil. Fewer students mean fewer education workers. It’s basic math. The layoffs will not result in larger classes or fewer services for kids, but it could, in theory, lead to school closures, although no one is talking about that at the moment. This is a crisis for the affected unions, though. The elementary teachers are represented by the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO), while the secondary teachers are members of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF). Both unions also represent a range of …
This is the sad story of just one school board in Ontario. But the toxic policy of DIE, diversity, inclusion and equity ought to be repealed everywhere implemented.
Today is 16th day since the United States started bombing multiple sites and cities across Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. So, we thought we would revisit the January 20, 2026, President Donald Trump's inaugural address. He states: Like in 2017, we will again build the strongest military the world has ever seen. We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That’s what I want to be: a peacemaker and a unifier. Now, that the United States and Israel are at war against Iran the above is no longer true. Trump who calls himself the "peacemaker" and "unifier" has also not managed to end the war in Ukraine. Didn't Trump claim victory last year saying that Iran's nuclear program had been destroyed? The United States and Israel have attacked Iran once more arguing that its nuclear capabilities posed a world threat. …
"We all need God's forgiveness for our many sins. This involves contrition, admitting the evil we have done and making amends. It's the only to restore our relationship with God. It's the only way to set ourselves free from the slavery and damnation brought by sin, evil and lies. It's the only way to save our souls and the nation we serve." And that my friend is true patriotism! God bless you!
Sister Dorothy Bob in 1996, and at right in 1959 at her investiture. (B.C. Catholic files) Woke Watch Canada is a reader-supported publication. Please consider becoming a paying subscriber or making a one-time or recurring donation to show your support. By Nina Green On 13 March 2025, the BC Catholic revealed that Dorothy Bob, a student and later a cook at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, became 'the first Indigenous girl to enter the Sisters of St. Ann in the congregation's hundred-year presence in BC'. Dorothy Bob, who took the religious name Sister Mary Juan Diego when she became a nun, was the daughter of Christopher and Cordelia (nee Patrick) Bob of the Fountain Indian Band near Lillooet, BC. She died in Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria on 24 February 2025 at the age of 92. See her obituary. Why did the Catholic Church not reveal until now that a former student and former employee of the Kamloops Indian Residential School became a nun? Would Canadians ever have known …
The article questions why the Catholic Church only recently revealed that Dorothy Bob, a former student and worker at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, later became a nun in the Sisters of St. Ann. The author argues that if this information had been public earlier—especially after the 2021 claim that 215 children’s remains were found at Kamloops—it might have influenced public opinion about the residential school allegations. The piece also claims that Indigenous staff and administrators worked at the school during the period when alleged abuses occurred, suggesting this raises questions about the claims. Finally, it criticizes the University of Manitoba for allegedly not making Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) documents publicly accessible, arguing that these records might clarify what actually happened at residential schools.
