This is the type of spirit that can drive men from alcohol and drugs to raising a family and protecting our nation from thugs. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised 😊 Keep it up.

great start to ARC..... Thankyou Jordan Peterson and all the others involved in bringing this alliance to the world. This (ARC) is what we desperately need. Genuine facts and leadership. Now it is up to us, the public, to do our part. Spread the word, help grow the "Alliance for Responsible Citizenship", and do YOUR part to help bring about a better more positive world for all of humanity. Put an end to the distopian vision offered by the elites of Davos and the WEF gang. Bring individual Freedom and responsibility back to the forefront of a free and prosperous society. Thankyou.

Hola! In the realm where ideas take flight, A platform emerged, shining bright. Engaging voices, minds so keen, Building bridges where they've never been. Canada's heartbeat, passions aflame, Citizens' thoughts, none to blame. Temperature checked, sentiments soar, Together we dream, aim for more. Innovation's canvas, colors so true, A future we craft, me and you. With wit and wisdom, we take our leave, Adios for now, let's continue to believe. 😁😇

Im certainly not an academic or intellectual, I’m “working class” as I feel is aconsequence of my inattention to educate myself to higher understanding of things. I do have life experience including being a father and a veteran. Josh bought me to tears with this….I was stunned by the raw emotion….powerful expressionism. As a consequence I find myself watching all the conference discussions. I find myself writing down the names of presenters and what works they have produced….I find myself wanting to improve my education and understanding….wanting to regain our story….. Bless you Josh…..

Thank you so much Phil for sharing your experience. Reading your comment profoundly moved us because our ambition for ARC has always been that it should not just for the academics, intellectuals, and politicians, but for every person who wants to be part of the solution and change in their culture.

We forget in our times of excess, comfort and relative peace & prosperity what it was like for our forefathers across all generations to do the work of survival & nation building. All generations prior to this one had it HARDER. In our softness, we MUST NOT FORGET there is work to be done. BACK BREAKING, GUT WRENCHING, FORWARD PROGRESSION WORK for honest hands & earnest hearts. And if we DO NOT do it, our children & the generations to come WILL pay the price we were too lethargic, too lack luster to spare them from.

Fantastic poem. Has echoes of Ren’s Money Game. Just a bit sad to hear ‘paganism’ used synonymously for hedonism. The former was a disparaging term applied under the Holy Roman Empire to any faith system that wasn’t theirs.
