Poilievre Joins Lethal Movement Taking Back Canada [Video] #WinghamWakening #DeathOfFear

(Wingham, ON) – My roof, my rules, my castle – and I’m the king of it. It would be wise not to test my resolve.

This is not about violence. It is about resolve. It is about the unshakable right to protect what is ours: our homes, our families, and our future.

Once again, a small-town restaurant in Wingham is going viral and sparking national debate by standing firm on one of the oldest and most sacred rights: the right to defend your home, your family, and your country.

For years, Canadians have been told to stay quiet, to obey over-reaching municipal “governments,” and to surrender their freedoms one by one. But Buck & Jo’s, the now-legendary hub of free thought and speech in Wingham, refuses to bow. Vote Buck

From Vilified to Vindicated

Three years ago, when Buck & Jo’s first spoke out about the use of lethal force in defence of life as guaranteed under Section 35 of the Criminal Code of Canada, they were smeared and branded as “extremists.”

Today, they’re being praised. Their stance is no longer fringe—it’s mainstream. Across Canada, citizens are recognizing that the only way to be free is to stand your ground.

The recent case in Kawartha Lakes, where a homeowner was charged for defending his family, has only reignited the movement. Canadians are now asking: Why are law-abiding families punished while criminals are coddled?

A Symbol of Resistance

It began with the “chalk outline” sticker in 2021. In 2024 it was updated for the upcoming 2026 Ontario municipal election to “Who’s the king of your castle?”

What began as an act of defiance during Covid has grown into a nationwide awakening. Buck & Jo’s is now seen as the last few thousand square feet of uninfected, unsegregated, Glorious and Free Canada.

The Declaration

The Death of Fear

What we are witnessing is not just a protest. It is a cultural shift. Canadians are rediscovering their courage.

Fear is dying, and with it, the chains that have held us down.

A Call to Every Canadian

Buck & Jo’s is not just a restaurant. It has become a symbol, a rallying point, and a beacon of hope. Even Pierre Poilievre is now advocating for Canadians to Stand Their Ground.

The message is simple but powerful:
👉 Stand your ground.
👉 Defend your family.
👉 Take back your country.

19 Year Old From Central Huron Scammed – Handed Over Bank Cards

(CENTRAL HURON, ON) – Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating a recent scam that took advantage of a Huron County teenager.

A 19-year-old Central Huron teen received a phone call on August 5th, 2025, from someone stating that they worked at the teen’s banking institution and needed to send someone to pick up her bank cards as they had been compromised. A male individual arrived by car at the victim’s house and took her cards. The victim later discovered that $5,000 had been stolen from the victim’s accounts.

Police are still investigating the fraud and are asking the public to come forward if they have any information that may assist the police.

“This is a good time to remind everyone to never provide your PIN (password) digits to anyone. Banks will never attend your home to pick up debit or credit cards”, says Provincial Constable Craig Soldan of the Huron OPP.

Call the OPP at 1-(888)-310-1122 and report these type of frauds.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre should also be contacted with any information you might have. Call 1-(888)-495-8501 or antifraudcentre.ca
