Represented by the Institute for Justice (IJ), a national libertarian law firm and legal advocacy group, Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney are suing the Pennsylvania Game Commission, claiming game wardens possess “virtually unchecked power to enter private land to search for evidence of potential state hunting offenses.” The Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney complaint, filed Dec. 16, 2021, contends Pennsylvania game wardens, sans warrant or probable cause, often “roam for hours” and “spy on” private land in search of hunting violations. The wardens’ behavior, the lawsuit states, is a direct violation of Pennsylvania’s state constitution, which in Article 1, Section 8, explicitly protects “persons, houses, papers, and possessions.” (16 states have constitutions protecting “persons, houses, papers, and possessions” instead of the 4th Amendment’s “persons, houses, papers, and effects.”)
“I’m an old-school veteran, as was my father and grandfather, and we all followed the law. I’ve got friends as police officers and my son is studying criminology right now in college,” Mikesell says. “How in the world did America get to the place where local police officers or state police or FBI agents have to get warrants and probable cause, yet a game warden can have free reign on private land?”
“We’re literally dealing with game wardens hiding on our land to catch guys committing some kind of infraction,” Mikesell exclaims. “I wonder if they’re using game cameras on our own private land to watch and monitor us; I have deep suspicions.”

WOMAN OF THE YEAR NOMINEE
USA Today has been slammed by conservative political commentator Candice Owens for the outlet's decision to include Pennsylvania's former Health Secretary Rachel Levine among the nominees for 2022 Woman of the Year Award. Levine, a trans woman, now serves as Assistant Secretary of Health in the Biden Administration.
USA Today has come under severe criticism after it named Lavine as one of the nominees for its 2022 Women of the Year award. This included Owens who openly blasted Levine's nomination.
"What's a woman? I'm confused. I don't know what a woman is anymore. It is funny and pointedly ridiculous. It gets back to what I always say about progressives which is that they're always so progressive that they're actually just regressive, right?" Owens slammed USA Today's decision on Tucker Carlson's show on Fox News on Tuesday night.

TRUDEAU & FREELAND'S FAR-RIGHT UKRANIAN CONTACT
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland met with the co-founder of a far-right fascist party in Ukraine, which was styled off of Hilter’s Nazi Party, True North has learned.
Andriy Parubiy served as the equivalent of the legislative speaker of Ukrainian Parliament from 2016 to 2019, and during that time he personally met with Trudeau and Freeland several times.

Earlier in his career, Parubiy was an influential member of Ukraine’s far-right neo-Nazi movement. In 1991, he co-founded the Nazi-styled Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU) – a party focused on “racial nationalism” that even adopted the Nazi Wolfsangel symbol as its logo.
WOKE LIBERALS MOVE TO DICTATE WHAT IS NEWS
You already know about the Trudeau government’s proposed legislation to give government-appointed bureaucrats the authority to pull down webpages that are legal but “inappropriate,” without first seeking permission from a judge.
But you may not have heard that the Trudeau government’s Heritage department gave nearly $3 million to the Policy Forum, headed by former Toronto Star vice-president Edward Greenspon.
The purpose of the tax-funded grant? To identify “reliable” reporters and coach them on the nature and forms of misinformation and how to report on it during an election.
This is the most frightening initiative I have seen in a very long time, especially when paired with Liberal efforts to regulate Internet content and to have senior bureaucrats monitor election messaging for political incorrectness (which was done in the 2019 general election).

THE NEW DOGMAS INFECTING OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM
Rex Murphy: Churches imposed dogmas. They threatened those who rejected their dogmas with an eternity of hellfire. Accept or be damned. The freethinkers of the last century and a half were as one when they called for an end to the superstitious hold of religion, the elimination of all doctrines and an end to the rule of dogma.
The dream was for an end to the regulation of thought, allowing freedom of thought and belief for all individuals. Dream on. The dogmas of religion may no longer hold force, but in our new and splendid 21st century, they have been replaced with the dogmas of political correctness, social justice and of the trinity of diversity, inclusion and equity.
The threat of papal excommunication no longer keeps monarch or peasant awake. But offend the new doctrines and dogmas — say an offensive word, defy identity politics, cast a person with the “wrong” skin colour for a role in a movie, get caught reading Dr. Seuss in public, fail to applaud any of the insisted upon truths of woke scripture — and punishment quickly follows.

HOLLOW WORDS & SYMBOLIC COURAGE FOR ZELENSKYY
Justin Trudeau praised Volodymyr Zelenskyy for defending the values that he called “the pillars of democracy” – freedom, human rights, justice, truth and international order.
Unfortunately, Canada is more like a buttress than a pillar when it comes to propping up democracy — it doesn’t carry much weight and what it does bear is done from a safe distance.
Trudeau welcomed the Ukrainian president to “our House” and offered hollow words about our “unwavering and steadfast support.”
But that support does waver when it comes to providing the aid that Zelenskyy is seeking — modern anti-tank weapons, surface-to-air missiles and fighter jets — mainly because we don’t have any that are fit for purpose.

FREELAND PRESSURES LEGACY MEDIA TO CHANGE CRITICAL STORIES
The legacy media in Canada is every bit as dishonest and corrupted as you and I suspect. Last month when True North broke the story of Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland holding a Nazi banner at a Ukrainian rally in Toronto, a handful of legacy media reporters picked up our scoop.
Interestingly, a few hours later, iPolitics issued a “correction” and changed the tone of the story to reflect the legacy media groupthink. Blame should not be aimed at the powerful woman holding the Nazi banner, it should be aimed at those talking about it!
This caused the reporter who wrote the original story, Rachel Emmanuel, to resign out of principle. She now writes for the independent outlet the Western Standard, and she wrote an opinion column describing the ordeal.
Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Rachel Emmanuel, who recounts the story and talks about the fundamental problems facing the media and why trust in journalists is at an all time low.
