Great article as usual,Ms. Nickson. Love your articulate rage. As a dweller in the behemoth, I am tickled that you think my nation the most creative on earth. Thanks for the compliment, but our culture is turning to sh*t too. Hollywood sucks. TV sucks. Magazines and newspapers are imploding. Pop music is a zombie in rhinestones—glamorous but still dead. Art and architecture have been destroyed by a perverse and willful hatred of beauty. Church? Gone woke. Schools and universities? Full of dopes who teach lies. Our gorgeous natural landscapes are ravaged by wind turbines, solar farms, vast garbage middens from hordes of migrant caravans, and seemingly intentional toxic spills and forest fires. Our once-proud, hard-working, independently-minded people are enstupidated, impoverished, cowed, and immiserated. But it’s that way all over the west. Thank God for truth-tellers like you.
There used to be a competition to complete the phrase 'As Canadian as...' One year, the winning entry was 'As Canadian as possible under the circumstances.'
You rarely hear of someone going to Canada for their medical care, yet we always hear of people coming here to the US for care. We here though, never hear of the 3d or 4th class care, though it must be so in a socialized system.
Public-private partnership is the biggest scam on the planet. It's just using three words when one will do:. And that word is Fascism. In the US, the biggest example of fascism is the military contractors, who would have zero business without being in bed with the government.
In my opinion, Canada sank into a new level of Hell when Justin Castro Trudeau and that b***h that was with the Treasury Department announced a plan to seize all funds donated to assist the truckers who were revolting against Wu-Flu jab mandates. That caused me to surrender my now-former Canadian citizenship. Thankfully, I had already escaped from Trudeau's version of Hell before I exercised that right. Not that the act mattered much; I haven't been to Canada in over 18 years. But I sure felt elevated after that. Besides, even Neil Young and Joni Mitchell no longer live there either.
The nation would have a chance of revival if they would dump Trudeau and/or allow Western Canada to be a separate nation.
The Regime Media exists in order to protect and spread pro-Regime PROPAGANDA. The ones funded directly by taxes engage in protecting the funder (STATE), the others (owned by the B Class) funded, indirectly by taxes and directly by the herds of MMS watching time, engage in a dual protection action: the owners and if it suits Them the "state"!
What still surprises me is our persistance in ignoring the REALITY that OPERATION COVIDIUS so clearly revealed:
The majority of the MMS/3i's are indeed "stupid, stupid and more stupid".
And if we persist in rejecting our real status as a Herd we'll never be able to do anything to CHANGE it.
No matter the amount of books one reads, it really doesn't matter. I've never read a single book during my 5 decades of existence and yet I spotted the PCR kit SCAM & FRAUD since January 2020, and ACTED accordingly.
One recurring problem: ‘conservative’ parties seldom take the actions that are of their mandate; why they’re voted in. Examples: the BC Liberals (for non-Canucks, the former free enterprise opposition to our provincial socialist party) reneged on promises to privatize liquor retail and wholesale distribution. They also did a 180 on their promise to fight Indigenous sovereignty efforts of various sorts; instead, they helped them along.
The federal Tories under Harper played it safe and shied away from tackling the CBC octopus despite having nearly a decade to neutralize it. Same goes for (nearly all but the western grain) agricultural marketing boards. Once they get in power, the might of the bureaucracies and rent-seekers scares them off. I’m really hoping Poilievre federally and Rustad provincially will take a chance on courage. They might be surprised at how much quiet support there is for undoing these massive manacles on Canadian society.
I left Canada in 1998 to teach in Seoul initially, & later 3 cities in Taiwan, so I haven't lived there in 26 years. In those teaching years (till 2006) I knew a number of fellow Canadians who were neutral on the changes there. Although I keenly follow events in the Western world with occasional info forays into the great white north, I'm largely unaware of this decline - it's not part of my lived reality. I am now aware things are moving rapidly, & Canada had a huge, very noticeable, & the first pushback anywhere to the gene modifier injections & the medical tyranny.
I believe & hope that what I see as a 'Canadian exceptionalism' will continue, though I agree Canadians are truly under siege more so than anywhere, except maybe New Zealand. The Canadian capacity to fight back will be revived.
President Bukele (of El Salvador) gave a speech last week at CPAC that brought the house down with an uproarious audience response. The globalists are taking hit after hit after hit now, the ideological landscape is changing by the week. Canada was a big part of this 3 years ago. Recently, no not so much. It's shocking to see how much the Canadian standard of living has dropped. I agree that the left will maintain its grip on the culture (despite a coming Conservative government), a grip that Canadians should be eager & able to throw off. But it hasn't, and likely won't.
Incredible about CBC's audience. I'm not sure what the ABC's is in Australia but I'd say at least 10% - I used to watch it, don't watch TV at all now. We only have 5 free-to-air channels - don't know how many you have in Canada.
All I know about CBC is that this newscaster - don't know her name - is up to her eyeballs in the psyops because I've seen her pushing out nonsense in a few of them. Here she is talking nonsense (known as Revelation of the Method (RoM)) with fake tested-positive-for-covid person, Rebecca Frasure, alleged passenger on cruise ship, holed up in a Tokyo hospital.
I agree 100 % re CBC - lose the TV fast but keep the Radio and get them to drop the wokeism. They do have quality interviewers and that should be encouraged. I feel bad / sad / UnCanadian for wanting to trash it all, especially when I remember the CBC also produced Peter Gzowski and Rex Murphy (who should be awarded something that trumps the highest Order of Canada that currently exists!).
I've talked with many people from different countries over the years & if that's worth anything, I have come to two conclusions that, as far as I can tell, seem to be accurate-
People from other countries generally see us Americans as arrogant, and sadly, the worst kind of arrogant- SO arrogant we don't even know we're DOING it. (From this observation I have also derived another- The closer an Empire is to falling, the *more* arrogant a people get. If that's true, buy stock in parachutes, now.)
The second observation is that while most people of Earth despise their rulers and want to be differentiated from them, they also *accept* the system of rulership with a force that borders on Religious Worship.
Here's an example I found among many 'conservative Christians' in the states- While acknowledging that God is the creator of marriage and so, is the only actual legitimate authority over what it IS, if a couple wanted to get married in a church WITHOUT getting a government-approved 'marriage license', most Christians would not see that marriage as legitimate. *However*, if that couple went down to a Judge & got the license but DIDN'T have a church service, the marriage would be considered valid.
Despite this being true, bringing it up when I wanted to get married in 2008 did not do my rep any favors among my Christian peers.
Anyway as to Canada, my brother & I have been there many times & always had an enjoyable time. On entering Canada & returning to the US back in 2002, we had an experience that might have relevance. Maybe more about my own country in a larger context, but on an individual level, I think it said more about the people.
On going into Canada, we were asked by the border guard what our reason for entering the country was & if we had anything to declare. We just said we were traveling & had nothing to declare, we were waved in with a smile.
On returning to the US, following a train of cars, as soon as we got up to the border guard, he bent down and loudly grumbled- 'Did I tell you you could move forward?! Give me your ID'S!' (I should note that I'd been watching a half-dozen cars before me mushing forward without any hand signals from the guard, so his complaint made no apparent sense. But it got worse.)
We handed our ID's over- my Father, my Younger Brother & a Friend. AFTER looking them over, the Guard grumbles again- 'How did you guys meet each other?' Since 3 of us all had the same last name and the same address, which he *must* have just seen, the question was so patently absurd, I almost responded with something equally stupid- 'Oh, you see, it was the weirdest thing, I got into Canada & just found these guys with the same name & address randomly hitch-hiking & picked them up!'
I didn't say that, thankfully, but there must have been something about my smile & tone with which I said, 'This is my Dad & Brother. We live together.' that he didn't like, because he then had us pull aside, brought out two other guards & a dog & proceeded to throw all our luggage out & do a serious inspection of the car. Thankfully they didn't tear it up, I don't know if that was because it was a rental or not.
We were brought into a room at the post and questioned for about an hour. The situation was more absurd than scary & I kept having to fight off the giggles. Eventually we were graciously allowed to repack our car & re-enter the US.
So this experience stuck with me & that was generally my impression of Canadians as a people- Genuinely nice. With exceptions, of course. People being people.
I also freely admit to being biased, because I also ran across the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen in my life while in Toronto. She was so stunning I had a case of Brainlock for at least a minute. Thankfully when I walked up to her and told her, she blushed like a Strawberry, so clearly didn't think I was some kind of a creeper. I was pressed for time & had to leave immediately after for a meeting, so it was also clear I didn't have any agenda other than that.
Okay, a bit rambly, so I'll TL;DR- Canada is a Gorgeous Country, with very pleasant & nice people, but *because* of that niceness, people who hate you have come to rule over you. You need to recognize that fact and cast them out before it's too late.
Well done Elizabeth. I mourn for this country. This week, i attended the Scotties ( curling) in Calgary and it felt so different than before. In the past, there was so much energy, so much love, so much hype. This time, i felt like i was in a sea of people who looked lost and had forgotten how to laugh. This is not what i knew growing up. And i talked to my girlfriends, all of us growing up in rural Manitoba at a time that many had no running water. They carried buckets and had outhouses and i wondered how many made the connection with what is today and what you wrote in your last article about how this country was settled by those who worked hard and learned survival. Sadly, i don’t think any connection was made.
Before the first "free" trade agreement in 1965, Canadian local content laws were a source of creativity and pride in industry. Canadian branches of US auto and appliance companies created their own versions, and Canadian car buyers actually had MORE choices than US car buyers. The effect was even stronger in Brazil and Argentina where stricter requirements inspired totally new cars.
If the local content requirements in "culture" are working the opposite way, it's not a basic problem with the requirements. Sounds to me like CBC is intentionally sabotaging its own advantages because it WANTS more globalism.
Total freedom kills creativity because total freedom allows the biggest army to take everything. Constraints help creativity by limitiing the reach of the biggest army.

Screech and Harry - nicknames for the Formerly Sussex Royals?

A commenter says about her nonsense:
"Show us your room, looks like a western room" did she think that Japanese hospitals have tatami floors and paper walls?
In fact, her room looks like a hotel room and with classic RoM the newscaster ends with, "Rebecca Frasure, from her hotel ... hospital room."

Are people just sick of the lies? I sure know I am.

Ms Nickson - What I'm curious about is did you sit down so she could talk to you? Pretty amazing that someone would behave like that!

So true… but I pray for the remnant… as the Lord promised Elijah.
