In case readers didn’t make it to the end of this excellent article:

“ Canada’s rural regions represent a huge growth opportunity for citizens and public wealth alike. However, command- and-control planning has drawn down the rural population and the rural economy. This must be reversed if Canada is to meet its obligations with regard to pensions and health care. Our public debt, like that of all the Western democracies, is high, and our unfunded liabilities are worrisome. Canada, however, unlike many Western democracies, has the land and resources to grow the economy in order to meet those obligations.”

As someone who has driven across Canada several times, and flown across it hundreds of times, the amount of undeveloped land in Canada is staggering (once you get 100 km North of the 49th parallel…) The lumber, minerals, arable land, fresh water and petroleum reserves are incredible.

A good book to add to the reading list is Daniel Greenfield's "Domestic Enemies", just published. He traces the identical personalities then as we see today, and yes they are identical in every aspect of what they say and how they behave, during the first 100yrs of the US against the moral courage needed at the time. His book is a great read, fast paced and loaded with quotes that self-reveal how destructive these people are throughout time with which every generation is forced to contend. Understand the basics of this personality and you are forever armed against their nefarious and manipulative schemes. More than that, you can teach others and your children at an early age which is what we need to do build a resilient society against these individuals who are ever present.
