Justin Trudeau once claimed Canada was a post-national country, and later that Canada was a genocidal nation. Canada and Canadian identity have been under attack by the left – and many of its harshest critics have taken over key institutions including academia and the media. Does Canada have a positive future? True North's Andrew Lawton discusses with Aristotle Foundation founder Mark Milke in a conversation that also touches on history, philosophy, and the importance of free speech.

The federal government has finalized yet another extension of its amnesty period for firearms banned by order-in-council in May 2020, meaning owners of newly prohibited guns may have a reprieve if Justin Trudeau's Liberals are ousted in the next election. True North's Andrew Lawton discusses why this is good news and focuses in on what Alberta has done to push back against Ottawa gun control. Also, a new study from the Aristotle Foundation finds that despite the proclamations of Trudeau and the mainstream media, Canada is not a systemically racist country after all.

Even in times of severe discord over policy, climate change, and identity, should Canada be celebrated? To the president of the Aristotle Foundation, Mark Milke, the answer is, yes! Leighton Grey and Mark call attention to the negativity dominating headlines that can easily make us feel like there is no hope for our country. Understanding Canadian history and fostering ideas grounded in reality could be the key for a positive future. Celebrating Canada isn't just for Canada Day, it begins with standing up for our God given rights, freedoms, and cultivating common ground with great ideas.

Arguments in the book cut through modern identity politics and criticisms with respect, truth and history showcasing a Canadian history worth preserving and a future worth celebrating. 

Canada, a nation once celebrated for its unwavering commitment to freedom and democracy, now finds itself besieged by a relentless series of attacks to its history and national identity. How did it get this way? 1867 Project editor Dr. Mark Milke joins True North's Andrew Lawton to discuss the profound issues plaguing Canada's social fabric, and why Canada should be cherished—not cancelled.

Brian interviews Mark Milke. Mike is the president of the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy and editor of a book "The 1867 Project". From assaults on historical figures such as John A. Macdonald to cancel culture and charges that Canada is a genocidal nation-state, the country that every generation and every immigrant built is now facing routine and corrosive attacks. How did this happen? In this new book twenty critical thinkers provide answers: we are awash in relentless grievance narratives and utopians who expect Canada's history to be perfect. The rise of critical theory, identity politics, and ideological politics in the education system also play a part. The authors challenge the naysayers and their caustic criticisms but also offer a positive path forward.

How does society address wrongs inflicted in the past? Should we even dwell on the past when we don't have the power to change it? This week on Next Steps Forward, Chris Meek welcomes Mark Milke - a public policy analyst, keynote speaker, author and columnist based in Calgary, Canada - to discuss these questions and more. Mark highlights the current pervasiveness of victimhood and its negative effect on societies, while going into detail about how past societies and individuals have a long history of playing the “victim card” and using victimhood as a catalyst for war. Subsequently Mark will comment on the current state of the situation unfolding in Ukraine and explain why he believes it stems from Russian President Vladamir Putin's claim of victimhood due to the collapse of the USSR decades ago. Additionally, Mark explains why victimhood can't be easily fixed and why government intervention isn't the answer that many individuals in younger generations believe it is. For an inside look into the prevalence of microaggressions and the woke culture in American and Canadian universities, governments and societies, be sure to tune in.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Mark Milke to discuss his latest book, "The Victim Cult: How the Grievance Culture Hurts Everyone & Wrecks Civilizations." Mark does a phenomenal job shedding light on the historical context (Cain & Abel, Adolf Hitler etc) as well as modern-day examples of people (College Students) who seek to turn themselves into victims. He also showcases examples of where real victims choose to turn their situation into a positive one. This was a wonderful conversation and I am grateful he allowed me the opportunity to sit down with him!If you wish to purchase Mark's book "The Victim Cult" you can do so at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Victim-Cult-U-S-Grievance-Civilizations-ebook/dp/B09DBVWXC9/ref=sr_1_1?crid=KTZGG2TXWBH4&keywords=the+victim+cult&qid=1645121375&sprefix=The+Victim+Cult%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-1You can follow Mark online @MilkeMarkIf you would like early access to content or access to exclusive content, please be sure to subscribe patreon.com/shouseinthehouse Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The idea of a "national conversation" has never made much sense to me. 300 million people shouting over one another sounds unproductive at best, and yet, if we were ever able to have a civil "national conversation," I propose that the very top of the agenda would be the question of how we teach our history to future generations of Americans.The recent controversy around the teaching of Critical Race Theory in elementary schools has pitted parents against teachers, old against young, and black against white in many communities. Many Americans are upset by the concepts being taught, but fail to articulate what is wrong with talking about the darker aspects of our history, from slavery to colonialism.My guest this Sunday was [Mark Milke, Ph.D.](https://markmilke.com/about) – a Canadian author, policy analyst and columnist – who has written the definitive book to guide our national conversation on victimhood, while still grappling with America's past sins. *[The Victim Cult: How the culture of blame hurts everyone & wrecks civilization](https://markmilke.com/the-victim-cult)* takes readers beyond the tired arguments of conservative culture warriors, while exposing what's *really* wrong with the modern trend of "grievance culture," that has infected everything from history curricula to identity politics.[The Victim Cult - Mark Milke](https://markmilke.com/the-victim-cult)However, the victim cult itself is not a new phenomenon. Its origins go all the way back to the beginnings of humanity itself. Can we rid ourselves of the temptations toward blame and self-pity before it destroys American civilization as we know it?

Where will the fixation on identity politics, cancel culture, and collective guilt lead society to?

Today, Cory is joined by author Mark Milke to discuss his new book "The Victim Cult"

The Woke Left did everything they could to ruin and cancel Canada Day. They told us that Canada is a genocidal state, and that it's not worth celebrating. Sadly, many mainstream Canadians caved to their demands and cancelled our national holiday. Well, the same forces are at play again. They're pushing divisive identity politics and telling us to be ashamed of our history. Today on the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice discusses the movement to cancel and divide us on Remembrance Day, and is joined by historian and author Mark Milke to discuss the many reasons to celebrate Canada.

Ep 296 - Western Alienation Guest: Mark Milke   Alberta and the prairie provinces have been hammered like everyone else by the shutdown of their economy by the coronavirus. It is another blow to an already beleaguered region. Oil and gas revenues tanked over the past few years when the price of a barrel of oil plunged.   Add in a chorus of voices, both domestically and internationally, calling for the demise of the Canadian energy sector and the current federal government’s mixed messages about the development of resources in Alberta in particular.   The combination of hits fueled feelings of alienation and growing support for separation. Premier Jason Kenny, in reading the mood of Albertans, commissioned the “Fair Deal Panel” in an attempt to get feedback on ideas that would provide Alberta with greater control of its destiny.   Then in the midst of the pandemic that is affecting the entire country, Green Party outgoing leader Elizabeth May warned the Prime Minister to not put money into supporting the oil and gas sector because, as she put it, the industry is dead.   All indications are that Ms. May is wrong. The Energy Information Administration says the demand for oil will remain strong for decades to come. Her comments and those of the Bloc Quebecois leader are one of the many elements fueling a growing interest among Albertans to leave Canada.   We invited Mark Milke to join us for a Conversation That Matters about Alberta and the western provinces’ contributions to Canada and how to find a path back to a calmer relationship. This is the first in a series of interviews focusing on alienation and a push toward separation by Alberta that will be published on the Conversations That Matter YouTube channel.   Conversations That Matter is a partner program for the Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University.
