RESEARCH: CANADA’S RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS: MAPPING THEIR TIES, LOCATION, AND IDEAS Canada has often been seen as a progressive country that is welcoming to immigrants, promotes multiculturalism, and generally as a kind and tolerant society. This study used a two-month close examination of Canada’s RWE online presence surrounding the 2019 federal election. Using social network analysis, this study fills a needed empirical gap in current understanding of this network that are known to produce and sustain domestic terrorism and extremist hate crimes in Canada. Then using both discourse and correspondence analysis, we find that Canada’s Right-Wing Extremists (RWEs) galvanize around the following key ideas: leftist-propensities towards violence, projecting especially views against the Antifa, anti-immigration, media corruption and dishonesty, anti-elite and anti-establishment values, anti-liberalism, populism, anti-LGBT, anti-environmentalism, biological determinism, white victimizatio...
In 2020 the world leaders in the insurance industry held a meeting to discuss the pandemic and the application of Form CG2132. What is Form CG2132? Simply put, shortly after SARs a clause was born, Form CG2132. It spread like a virus sliently and slowly infecting policies around the globe till now - and why the clause had been given life. SARs had cost the insurers a lot money, they took beating after beating in the courts trying to deny policies. They lost so much money it could never be allowed to happen again. Ever. So these leaders and their industry have a lot in common with the Los Vegas gambling industry. They prefer the odds always favor the house and the clause does favor the house. Which brings us back to The Clause.The Clause is a rock solid exclusion in the event of a pandemic in most case. seems some of their wealthier clients had been warned about the clause and vaccinated their money with special exception to the exclusion that protects them from the "clause....

One of the new genius theories to come out of the conference is that we live on a Pac-Man world where planets and objects are instantly transported to the other side of the world as they pass through the warp tunnel. The Birmingham, UK convention of hundreds of flat Earth believers included people who work in education and IT. Strangely, many of them flew in airplanes to the UK perhaps with their eyes closed the entire flight, only to land safely back on their flat Earth.
