@VegasVirago This has been going on for decades, most reservations look exactly like the shitholes they were 40 years ago. Nothing has changed, this is how they want to live. And continue to blame whitey for their problems.
Millions of Canadians are beginning to see the similarities between communist regimes and the direction of current government policy.
The pattern is always the same.
It begins with noble promises: safety, equality, compassion, protection, the greater good.
It ends with censorship, coercion, surveillance, prisons, ruined lives, and a police state.
Always.
It comes wrapped in slogans, experts, committees, emergency powers, censorship, enemies of the people, and the belief that the state has the right to crush the individual for the greater good.
Consider...
C-2 - Strong Borders Act
C-22 - Lawful Access Act
C-34 - Safe Social Media Act
C-36 - Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act
C-9 - Combatting Hate Act
C-25 - Strong and Free Elections Act
S-209 - Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act
All seven are live in the 45th Parliament right now. None has received royal assent yet.
Consider that good, law-abiding Canadians are being gradually and systematically disarmed.
This is not a warning about some distant future.
In 2022 the federal government invoked emergency powers it did not have, froze the bank accounts of citizens over their political views, and banned Canadians from funding a protest. Two levels of court have since ruled it unconstitutional - a violation of the very Charter rights every one of these bills now circles.
That was the trial run. It needed an emergency as the excuse.
The seven bills above are the permanent version - the same reach, made routine - so that next time, no emergency need be declared at all.
A free country is not lost in a single day. It is legislated away in pieces, each one introduced with a reassuring name and defended as necessary, while good people keep assuring themselves it could never happen here.
It already did. The only question is whether enough Canadians notice before it becomes permanent.
Read every bill. Watch every one of them. Because this is the stage where it can still be stopped... and perhaps our last chance.
@therealmrbench No matter how bad it gets, how far the country sinks. The fact they were told Carney is a conman, given the opportunity they will vote liberal again.
@SenWarren Why would we want a policy of the government paying for childcare?
Our policy should be to create an economy where women can stay home to raise their children. Forcing everyone to become a two income family, in order to survive, is retarded.
What a world we live in. The "health columnist" of one of the major papers in Canada is celebrating the government-sanctioned murder of 100,000 Canadians.
Thousands of people were bullied or deceived into accepting death at the hands of the government, instead of receiving the help they needed for loneliness, old age, disability, depression, or mental illness.
Some of them died in terror, literally drowning as their lungs filled with fluid as drugs were administered to kill them in a way which would be illegal for the execution by lethal injection of a condemned criminal.
Others were murdered by their own family members and medical staff who put them to death even as they cried out for help, and clearly indicated they wished to live.
There is no medical, moral, or any other justification for government-sponsored death for the innocent. Modern medicine is more than capable of providing dignity and comfort in the final days of those whose time on this earth is coming to an end.
And yet, rather than dignity and comfort, the suffering are being offered execution. Meanwhile, thousands of elderly have seen doctors or hospital staff for various, sometimes trivial ailments, and instead of receiving love and care, have been offered death instead.
What foul sulphuric entity has left the gates of Hades to take up residence in Canada's soul? What is the name of the dark, lurking evil which covers our land, blocking the light, its foul, decaying breath assaulting our senses as it whispers in cloying tones, "Death is sweet. Life is not sacred"?
Canada does not need blind loyalty.
It needs honest citizens.
A government that demands applause has usually stopped earning trust.
A serious country can handle questions about speech, debt, crime, immigration, energy, health care, and basic competence.
Free citizens do not owe the state obedience.
They owe their country something better: judgment, courage, memory, and the nerve to say no when power gets too comfortable.
Canada was not built by people who clapped on command.
It was built by people who worked, argued, voted, paid taxes, raised families, defended freedom, and expected government to know its place.
@Fawkjoo@JayGenXer Home builders build homes not government. Unless you are talking about the garden sheds they did a photo op of. The country is toast.
@VegasVirago I see it getting a lot worse before there is any chance of things improving. Half the country feels entitled to what you have & the government is giving it to them. Which is why liberals keep getting elected.
@wealthmoose@LeslieC68 Yeah, No. It was the hill I would die on. As I’m remote they dropped it. But there is always something else, always be financial secure so you don’t end up anyone’s bitch.
@BasedFusion@DayleenVann Depends. Where you stand. The one taking the risk should reward the benefit. Capital gains shouldn’t have any tax. The government didn’t risk anything. They just want a piece of everything you have. Where do you stand on this?
