Seven years after Justin Trudeau took power, the woke, globalist, net-zero Liberals finally met their match in 2022.
Although the year ends with high inflation, the Singh-Trudeau pact intact, and innumerable encumbrances underway on carbon, guns, and freedom of speech, 2022 will be remembered as the year the tide turned and the righteous rebellion began.

The msm/legacy media is resisting any form of 'vox populi' unless it is their 'vox'. This is not only likely to increase, considering the possibility of an election but the points noted in the article may actually give this same media and the Liberal/subNDP government a rallying point.
The challenge will be ensuring the objective evaluations of the machinations of the current government and the msm/legacy media are received by the voting population. It is extremely difficult to cause people to think critically however it must be undertaken.
Note that mush of the population lives on social media and memes. They do appear to respond to satire and humour - two of the most valuable and effective tools in undermining an authoritarian regime.....yet minimally used. An example would be 'Winnie the Pooh' and China.....another would be: TossTrudeau based on the 'HeaveSteve' meme used by the left side during the Harper/Trudeau election. There are countless ones.....
You are right about satire and humour IMO. I had suggested at one point that WS have a regular satire section, given how great one of our April 1 articles went. The reason this did not happen is that either you are a Babylon Bee or you are a real news organization, but you can't be both. And if you start having satire pieces going out that people think are purported to be real news, your brand gets ruined. That makes sense to me. Maybe we could have a loosely affiliated Unorthodox Western website instead of the Western Standard. :) That would be great!

This war was forced upon us in 2020 with the development of the covid virus.
Three years into the battle it seems like we have barely scratched the surface to removing these tyrants.
Rest well my fellow warriors 2023 will come calling with its new challenges and obstacles to overcome.
Honk... Honk!
