What's Wrong With Canada?

By Rich Kozlovich

For most of their existence Canadians have resented Americans, and given the conflicts involving the Revolution and the War of 1812, that creates a degree of understanding. But we speak the same language, and for decades shared cultural traits that were largely harmonious.  Their economy has always been tied to the American economy, and understandably so since America's economy is massive compared to Canada's, but at some point they seemed to think they were the big economic dog of North America and started acting in ways that are not in the best interests of Canadians.  

On July 16th Judi McLeod, the founder, owner and editor of Canada Free Press, published this piece, Living A Nightmare On Communist Canada’s East Coast saying:

Canada Free Press (CFP) is living a nightmare on Communist Canada’s East Coast having been driven out of Ontario, four years ago, when Premier Doug Ford threatened to freeze our meagre bank account for the government ‘crime’ of editorially supporting the Truckers Freedom Convoy.

 She went on to note a local called the police on them claiming they were driving drunk, locals glared at them at church, and locals "made it clear that they didn’t like Christians, or pro-American journalists", and they had the feeling of being stalked.  Now, I know that sounds looney, but I've been following her commentaries for years, and I've never seen evidence of lunacy in the past, and I don't think she's being a loon now. 

 Now a bit about Doug Ford, who she calls the laughable reincarnation of King George III and is under the impression he can "DISMANTLE the United States of America all on his own steam."   He's a blowhard with a 21% approval rating picking a fight can't win with someone who views him to be as irritating as a mild rash.  The articles goes on to say:

Across the border, savvy Sundance at Conservative Tree House, calls out Ford for the buffoon he really is.".....“Canadians are defining themselves by being hostile to America. This is their national identity now.” (Conservative Tree House, July 21, 2026)...... Ford is trying to ascribe to all Canadians a visceral hatred of America and its president, which is an absolute LIE!

I'm not so sure it's an "absolute lie", but I am sure of the resentment of Canadians is real and it impacts their choices for leadership and is altering their culture, especially their embrace of multiculturalism and the mass migration of Muslims into Canada.  This isn't the Canada that supported the escape of American diplomats out of Iran when Khomeini's thugs arrested them.

In Canada there is no conservative movement as we understand conservatism.  It's more like the RINO's of the Republican party, ...... liberal.... way liberal.  Currently they've chosen Mark Carney as their Prime Minister and his government is filled with what Judi calls smug, arrogant liberal PMs who care little for the suffering of the people of Canada noting that:

Many of them holdovers from the Justin Trudeau cabinet, they’re giddy with the kind of power that comes from knowing there is no possible out from the Liberal Party system that has tormented Canadians for most of their lifetimes. They don’t walk, they strut. The don’t debate, they lecture. They don’t talk, they shout, much of it in braggart style.

The media in Canada is like our Pravda media here in America, only worse since "the Canadian media was initially bought off and paid for with $600M—not including the annual $1.5 billion stipend paid to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)"

However, there's always a heterodox who doesn't fear being the rock in the current and unwilling to be one of Carney's myrmidons:

“In a lengthy post on X last week, my friend and fellow podcaster Ivor Cummins made plain that he believes Mark Carney has in effect been implementing the Cloward Piven strategy in real time and that before our eyes in Canada, he's using his position as prime minister to see to the hellish flowering of the anti-human agenda in all its dreadful glory."

He went on to explain the Canadian government was taken over by globalists whose real loyalty lies with the "World Economic Forum, the United Nations, the Bank for International Settlements, and the other unelected global institutions that aim to erase national sovereignty and individual freedom."  Many of these international institutions seem to think China epitomizes all that's good about government.  

They're "working to overload and bankrupt the system" with welfare and giving unlimited power to unelected bureaucrats.  The COVID lockdowns, mass spending, and free money to "8 million Canadians with no strings attached....costing 81 billion dollars" had nothing to do with good economics or public health.  It was "about creating permanent dependency......on government support", and more government control of every day lives.”  Sound familiar?

What's wrong with Canada?  After decades of  having leftist propaganda inculcated into their minds and their government's disastrous philosophical views and policy decisions......Just about everything.  A road America may well follow, having the privilege of living and working in a "worker's paradise", where unhappiness will not be tolerated.  You can have nothing, and you can starve, but you will be happy about it... or else!

Here's what's mind boggling.  After 237 years of economic, social and moral failure you'd think there couldn't possibly be a need to debate the value of socialism.   But knowledge, history, reality and deductive reasoning are the enemies of socialism. That was why starting in the late 19th century socialists infiltrated and slowly captured the system of education in the entirety of western civilization.   To prevent thinking impure thoughts.
