Happy CANADA Day!
We truly have something to celebrate July 1 – CANADA!
The vastness of the prairies, and the resources God has blessed us with underground, reflect our unlimited potential as a nation.
Unfortunately, a decade ago we strayed off course – and we’re still struggling to get back on track. World history is full of examples of once-great countries who went down a destructive path. Some of them bounced back, but many did not. The idea that Canada could eventually split apart should not be taken lightly – many in the West genuinely feel they have been screwed by Ottawa and Quebec, and for a very long time.
Canada is supposed to be The True North Strong and Free, but we have become weak and less free over the past decade by any reasonable analysis of data. A destructive “progressive” ideology continues to plague Canada like a potentially deadly cancer, undermining our country at a time when the United States has managed to break free from its own woke bondage. If this is how Canadians want to “differentiate” themselves from Americans (“woke” vs. “unwoke”, “progressive” vs. “conservative”), well, be prepared to endure an even lower standard of living in a Canada that will continue to underperform and underachieve. It’s a competitive world, and we cannot afford to fall behind any further and lose more human and financial capital to the U.S. and other countries.
We have taken for granted the opportunities God has blessed us with, including all the bountiful resources in the ground (drill, baby, drill, and build, build, build!) that have helped drive our prosperity and remain critical to our economic future.
This isn’t really about right or left. We are in desperate need of a Common Sense Revolution, one that Pierre Poilievre attempted but failed to pull off – at least up until now. There has been pushback against the worst excesses that have damaged Canada in recent years, but we’ve only just scratched the surface of change in a country where the Laurentian elites, backed by their friends in the liberal dominated mainstream media, insist on calling the shots – and Ontario and Quebec, roots of the problem, do have power in numbers. Famous Alberta-born author Jordan Peterson, ridiculously ordered by the “progressive” courts in Canada to undergo “social media training”, says Canadians will probably have to suffer even more before they really wake up and take back their country – if that’s ultimately what they decide to do.
Canadians built a successful, proud nation through a hard working entrepreneurial spirit based on the principle that success is rewarded, not punished, and that government is meant to serve the people, not the other way around.
Today, as much as some Canadians believe things are getting better, we have the ridiculous scenario where politicians still want to select the “winners and losers”, the companies who don’t have to be subject to the hideous Impact Assessment Act in order to “fast track” major projects deemed (by government) to be in the national interest. This is no way to run a country.
Government that thinks it knows best how to run our lives, government that is over-regulating the economy and constantly in our faces and in our pocketbooks, is government that needs to be replaced and forever restrained.
“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” became new words for the promotion of a Neo-Marxist agenda by woke “progressives” determined to cancel our cherished history and turn Canada into nothing more than a collection of groups, with no common purpose, manipulated by a government obsessed with identity politics and making as many of its citizens as possible dependent on the Nanny State.
A couple of years ago at this time, we declared: “The fight to Take Back Our Country has only just started.”
That fight has intensified but there’s much more work to be carried out. This will require a herculean effort, one that will be measured in years, not months.
The good news is that we can Make Canada Great Again, that Canada’s best years are yet to come.
Enjoy a safe and awesome Canada Day with friends and family.
