As we look at the social media and the greater media landscape it is increasingly less objective and less about the facts of history and understanding that impact on the social construct we live in today.

I know many board members of the Victims of Communism board in Washington, the President is a friend and I attended the opening of our own Victims of Communism memorial on a very cold day in Ottawa. Our own controversy about who should be inscribed on the monument speaks to another dangerous proclivity of our current body politic.

We are no longer willing to take a stand to defend our values, based on a shared European history where facism and communism played significant roles in the shaping of our present day economy and global defence alliances.

What our well to do young bolshevik nouveau riche share in common is ignorance of the facts. If I may suggest, they go to the Victims of Communism, re-read Mien Kempf, The Third Reich and then study the successive failures of all the communist regimes outlined herein and their contempt for any intellectual or peasant under their thumb.

Speak to Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians, and Hong Kongers who are all victims of the Red Princling nouveau riche communists who push their dystopian brand of socialism with Xi Jinping characteristics on Canada and the rest of the world.
