Self-Inflicted Wounds and Forgotten Principles
'Not "Sorry"' host Alexander Brown responds to news that judges in Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan are barring people from wearing poppies in court
In the latest episode of ‘Not “Sorry”’ on Juno News, host Alexander Brown, Director of the National Citizens Coalition, delivers a hard-hitting critique of Canada’s ongoing struggles, emphasizing how self-inflicted failures in leadership and institutions are squandering the nation’s immense potential.
Brown pulls no punches, declaring, “Oh, Canada. We’re a nation of so much potential, but we continue to be held back by those who have lost the plot, don’t share in our principles, or who are perhaps too thick to know the difference.” This sets the tone for an episode that ties together cultural erosion, institutional betrayals, and the fledgling principles and social and economic missteps in Ontario, Canada’s supposed economic engine.
Brown kicks off by highlighting how even in periods of national reflection, Canada’s institutions are fumbling basic respect. He spotlights a recent controversy in Saskatchewan, where prosecutor Lana Morelli was barred from wearing a poppy in court, as if honouring veterans could somehow taint judicial proceedings.

In contrast, Brown praises Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston for taking action, announcing plans to enshrine protections for the poppy against such un-Canadian dictates. In an era where lip service to national symbols is cheap and often fleeting, real protections are essential: “We know where the cultural defenestration of the last ten years has gotten us. Our culture and our symbols need to be protected, even if by law.”
We cannot deny the sacrifices and the concerns of our Veterans, we cannot let those sacrifices be in vain. Canada’s modern institutional failures continue to dishonour those who secured our freedoms.
On Ontario and its socio-economic woes, Brown shifts his focus to a province mired in crisis despite years of Progressive Conservative majority governance. Guest Noah Jarvis, formerly of True North and now the Ontario Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, joins to dissect the province’s grim fall economic statement.
The discussion with Jarvis dives into the trendlines that remain troubling, painting a picture of a province that can’t just blame U.S. President Donald Trump for woes that disproportionally fall on a shrinking middle class, and the province’s young and working aged.
Tune in to Juno News for more unapologetic takes from Alexander Brown, because Canada deserves leadership that hasn’t lost the plot.
What are the names of the ?judges? banning the wearing of poppies? What is their native country?
And please don't tell me this is irrelevant.
Two mentally dysfunctional beings unqualified to serve.
