Do the gods exist? As mature and more sophisticated reasoned arguments for and against the idea of god have evolved, we can evaluate eighteen possible arguments, about seven are interesting. Argumentation about the natural world: time, causation, morality, beauty, logic, mathematical precision, and so on.

The combination of the internet’s memory and the far reach of social media is new. Put into the hands of groups of citizens it may turn out to be incredibly powerful. This will be especially true when rooting out corruption, malfeasance, and racketeering in governments. So can it be done? I am not sure, but I think we’re going to find out in the very near future.

Ahmed Hussen exhibits some peculiar behaviour. His statements seem to be in conflict with his own government. This is the kind of stuff you read about in the book 1984.

Canada has over one million illegals and tens of thousands of people with fake Social Insurance Numbers. People with fake SIN numbers have already received Canada Emergency Response Benefit which has been made available due to the pandemic.

We have a reliable estimate that there are now 18,000 cases in Canada as of 26 March 2020. This is against the official number of just over 3000 listed as we are recording this podcast. If you double that every three days, that is 36,000 cases by end March and 72,000 cases in the first few days of April 2020. These are all low-end assessments. How did we arrive at these numbers?
