The article below was put out today by one of the political candidates in Canada.  This is a new party but I was struck by the courage they had to publish this.  Love the quote from Petersen.  Spot on.

For decades now Canadian society, and the broader Western world, has vilified traditional masculinity.

Masculine traits are described as toxic and discouraged from a young age.

Our education system prioritizes obedience over creativity and individuality and stomps masculinity out of young boys.

If that doesn’t do the trick, Hollywood and the mainstream media define what it means to be a man, and universities indoctrinate young people with all sorts of backwards ideas.

Not to mention woke corporations pushing this nonsense to pander to big city leftists.

This has resulted in a generation of passive men, averse to confrontation, which has in turn made our society susceptible to manipulation by globalist elites.

Elites who rig the game for their own benefit while average Canadians suffer the consequences.

We must reclaim a more traditional definition of masculinity.

I’m reminded of a quote from Jordan Peterson that captures the flawed, contemporary perception of masculinity while also providing the solution to this flawed interpretation.

“A harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a very dangerous man who has that under voluntary control.” —Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

A generation of Canadian men have been pacified. They believe it is virtuous to be harmless, that it makes our society safer.

What do you think, Friend? Is Canadian society safe today?

It is not virtuous to be harmless. It is not virtuous to be weak. These are lies spread by people who want to take advantage of you.

Real virtue comes from strength and restraint. A good man is capable of defending himself, his family, and his country when necessary.

If we are going to take our country back from the globalist elites currently destroying it, we’re going to need Canadian men to be strong, to be dangerous.

I am by no means advocating for violence. The weakness of many Canadian men goes beyond just the physical.

Too many are averse to confrontation, unwilling to speak their minds, bullied into silence on the most important issues that the establishment tells us are off limits.

Men, we need to step it up.
