Correctional Services Canada Bans European Cultural Symbols as “|Propaganda”
Under the super woke Justin Trudeau, the federal government is riddled with those who detest European culture. On December 13, I sent Michelle Erstikaitis, a prisoner at the Fraser Valley Institution for Women and a person who had helped at some of our mailings years ago, a Christmas card. Inside, I enclosed a drawing in ink of a Celtic Cross with Celtic knotwork design, done a mutual acquaintance. There were no words or slogans. A date stamp on the envelope indicated it had been received on December 16. On January 9, I received the envelope and card back with an unsigned form advising me: “Within a Federal Correction Institution, it is necessary to ensure that … illicit drugs and other contraband/unauthorized items are not introduced into the institution. Be advised any items listed below found in inmate correspondence are considered unauthorised and will be returned to sender along with the entire contents of the mail.” Then, ticked off was “other” and hand written in there “propaganda.” As a final act of spite, the Christmas card was returned as well. — Paul Fromm
