Big Tech Censorship
As Trudeau promises to suppress independent media if free speech is restored to Twitter, it's more important for us to stay in touch than ever before.
We all understand the problems with big tech censorship. When social media sites first gained traction in the mid 2000’s it was a revolutionary way for people to interact, communicate, promote their products and services, and in our case, participate in the marketplace of ideas.
My, how times have changed!
Elon Musk has given us some optimism with his proposal to buy twitter and take it private. In the same breath Justin Trudeau’s Online News Act is threatening to further suppress independent media online.
That’s why I’m committed to having a direct relationship with people through this email newsletter. We simply can’t rely on social media to stay connected.
So, here’s an overview of the shows from the last week.
Episode #12 with Michael Wagner. Michael Wagner is an independent researcher and writer. He has a BA (Honours) and MA in political science from the University of Calgary and PHD in political science from the University of Alberta. We talked about his books advocating for Alberta Separatism, and the history of that movement.
Episode #11 with Keith MacIntyre. Keith MacIntyre is the leader of Libertarian Party of BC, and owns a software development company. In his previous career he worked to develop pandemic simulation software for the Center for Disease Control that helped to guide the response to the H1N1 pandemic. He joins us to talk about the negative impact of lockdowns and mandates in BC.
Episode #10 with Zachary Tisdale. Zachary Tisdale is a business analytics and segmentation lead who works in property and casualties for a mutual insurance company. He joins us to talk about the data analysis that shaped government policy in Canada throughout the Covid Lockdowns.

Perhaps we could do some things to implement libertarian principles withing party operations? Set a good example, practice what we preach, and that sort of thing? Running the political party long the same lines as every other party will only ensure that our party has all the same problems as every other party. We can do better.
Jaques Boudreau tried to get this idea in front of the LPoC board, but for some reason they do not seem interested. Again... same problems as other parties, except it hurts the Libertarian party more than others because libertarians really do expect better.
