Does Canada Have a Future?

It has suddenly happened. Canada’s dubious, ignorant, and manifestly childish prime minister has suddenly decided to step down. The social scene’s dance queen will not be missed. The issue is that he has chosen to proroguish Parliament ( originally scheduled to begin on January 27 ) until March 24 and hang around like a dirty top. This results in the Liberal Party probably reflecting on its app and selecting a new head among a slew of contenders, as all parliamentary work is suspended and no parliamentary work can be done. The land is generally adrift. In the interval, Trudeau escapes problem time, criticism attention, non-confidence seats, or any degree of accountability. However, he essentially reigns as prime minister for the next three weeks.

Glib as ever — Greg Gutfeld dubs him the robin adornment of the woke group — he informs the nation that” Since 2015 I’ve fought for this country, for you, to enhance and increase the middle class…. We rallied to help each other through the pandemic, to improve reconciliation, to protect free trade on this continent…” yada yada yada. The rest is therefore barefaced as to be disrespectful, perhaps to usually placid and long-suffering Canadians.

The truth is that under Trudeau’s faux stewardship, Canadians have witnessed their economic power drop dramatically as a result of rising taxes, including an unnecessary and burdensome carbon tax, prohibitive food and energy costs, careening per-capita GDP, through-the-roof prices, and an out-of-reach cover industry for young Canadians as a wave of legal ( and illegal ) immigrants created a critical housing issue. &nbsp,

This should not be a shock. Trudeau had an agenda, transforming Canada into what he called the first&nbsp, post-national state, that is, &nbsp, into a Liberal Party communist kleptocracy. Or in his own words, he intends to remain “part of a progressive movement that will seek out a better future and]sic ] for Canadians”, ensuring that the next leader will carry” the progressive Liberal standard” into the future. The facts should be clear. It would be sport over for Canada if the Liberals were to be re-elected as they lurches into becoming Venezuela North. Trudeau had no idea how to run a nation but to work it into the earth. With the exception of his parents, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the state has probably suffered the worst prime minister the country has ever had since Confederation in 1867, according to many. In fact, the Trudeaus are one of history’s most dangerous political kingdoms. &nbsp,

However, the farce continues. The two most prominent and likely candidates to the stained king are Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney, who are two of the other contenders. I have previously written about Freeland on many times, most recently in an&nbsp, content for this page. As I wrote, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Freeland, who resigned late after a spit with Trudeau, is repeatedly worthy of doing even more damage to the land than her employer, surrendering the nation openly to the globalist machinations of the World Economic Forum on whose board she sits, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations ‘&nbsp, Agenda 30 for Sustainable Development. She is well known for frothing the bank accounts of Canadians who donated to the cause and the 2022 Freedom Convoy truckers who opposed Trudeau’s vaccine mandates. It would be a terrible choice for the next generation to lead.

Then there is Carney, an advisor to Justin Trudeau, a former governor of the Bank of Canada, and, like Freeland, a board member of the World Economic Forum. Carney is pro-climate change, pro-UN Sustainability programs, and pro-the” Great Reset” in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the&nbsp, Western Standard reports that critics contend that the reset promotes an agenda that may lead to more government control over the country’s economic and social systems, possibly at the expense of individual liberty. This is obviously true. &nbsp,

Interesting is that Carney was involved in the creation of a$ 50 billion investment vehicle as chairman of Brookfield Asset Management, which [which ] led to accusations that he used his political advisory position for corporate gain. The entire situation has a similar level of liberal conflict of interest. ” Carney is the incarnation of elite presumption”, wrote John Robson in&nbsp, The Dorchester Review. Carney would likely be a worse choice than Freeland. &nbsp,

The Shadow is split between these two rivals. The rest of the pack consists of cronies and non-entities.

The bigger issue that plagues the country is not just one person or one party, according to Brian Peckford, former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador and last living signator of the 1982 Canadian Constitution. The problem is systemic. ” Parliament is broken”, he writes ( personal communication ). When a&nbsp, scandal-prone Prime Minister” can break the law five times and still serve as Prime Minister, we know we have a serious problem” .&nbsp,

Moreover, he argues, justly, that the Executive is too powerful and needs to be substantially reduced. The Prime Minister’s Office is bloated with parasites posing as consultants and advisers. The Judiciary, which is appointed by the prime minister, has become corrupt and deeply politicized, having replaced secular law with secular law while vacating the Preamble of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which reads: Whereas Canada is founded on principles that acknowledge the supremacy of God and the rule of law. &nbsp,

Peckford continues:” It has made new law, not just interpreted existing law. Parliament needs to reaffirm its authority in relation to the judiciary, be appointed judges, and demand that God be taken into account in all interpretations of the Charter. In effect, for Peckford, what Canada requires is not merely a new government, but a new Magna Carta. ” Integrity must be reestablished”. But “it is likely”, he concludes,” we will continue in our mediocrity and undemocratic ways”. Neither a flattering nor promising portrait.

Although I admire and respect Brian Peckford, a good friend, I do not think that a world in which honor and rectitude will predominate is even remotely possible. Although there are times in history when mediocrity may be tempered by the emergence of approximative merit and when the democratic muse is not entirely silenced,” Perfection” continues to decline asymptotically. In my estimation, regarding our situation in this country, we may be lucky enough to find ourselves after the next election with that which certain purists regard as the lesser of two evils, aka the Conservatives, holding the reins of power. Romans 12: 21 enjoins us,” Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good”. Although I don’t believe that evil will ever be eradicated in this life, I do believe that we shouldn’t let the best replace the possibility of the better. The better may not be very good, but it is unquestionably preferred over the unquestionably bad. &nbsp,

Things will improve, though perhaps not as much as we would like, if Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is elected as Canada’s next prime minister. He will first need to run an austerity government to free the country from the fiscal crater that his predecessor left behind. Canadians are a erratic bunch, and they’d likely vote him out of office the next time, just like they did Stephen Harper, Canada’s astute prime minister, in 2015. Additionally, as others have pointed out, Poilievre does not appear to be willing to go scorched earth on all of Trudeau’s nation-destroying policies. &nbsp,

Will he actually repeal the hated carbon tax or just stifle its disastrous effects? He has not moved to expose the fraud behind carbon hysteria, gender dysphoria, or certain punitive censorship bills. He has said little about reducing immigration. He is advantageous because, like Harper, he is a friend of Israel and opposes the spread of violent antisemitism on the streets and campuses of the country. In the last analysis, the most important challenge confronting us is really quite simple: Trudeau, Freeland, Carney, the lamentable Minister of the Environment and Climate Change and self-declared socialist&nbsp, Stephen Guilbeault, and, for that matter, the entire Liberal Party must be stomped into the earth they claim they want to save.

What Canada now needs, so far as possible, is what Aristotle in&nbsp, The Nicomachean Ethics called phronesis, “practical wisdom” or “wisdom in determining ends and the means of attaining them” with the intention of producing a good result. In the current political environment, for better or worse Pierre Poilievre represents the spirit of phronesis, or prudence, and should be given the chance to prove himself and, equally, to prove his doubters and detractors wrong. For now, he’s all we’ve got.
