Excellent commentary. You have touched on many things that are weakening our country. Liberal hypocrisy and incompetence is a major one.

That investor spoke true. But so do you.

The investor won't invest in Canada due to your regime, but he will make sure to profit from the inpetitude and corruption of it.

That's why the banking clans don't have a problem with corrupt and inept or incompetent governements: it makes it easier to profit without investments. Instead, you get the governement to underwrite all risks and liabilites and foist the burden of cost onto the citizens, all solidaric and equity-like.

Neoliberal economics: privatized profits - public cost and losses. What capitalist banker would sayno to that? It's like Chesterton pointed out more than a century ago in "The Man Who Was Thursday":

“You've got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists”

― G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

If I knew how to underscore, it would be this:

"The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't..."

Love the Chesterton quote. It used to be widely acknowledged, going back to at least the 19th century, that anarchists were primarily recruited from the highly educated

Very good. The poor man gets a stake through his heart and the rich man gets a stake (sic) on his plate.

You are spot-on. The Libss lost me after SNC Lavelin. From there, the carnage has escalated. I never thought I'd see the day, when I was frightened by the Canadian government. During the Harper era, I was concerned, which was why I voted Lib in 2015. However, it got worse from there. The governing crew has backed off a "tad," but given the chance, they'll be back. And, they are "liberal" in name only. I honestly don't know, day to day, if team Luc and Leah are winning or losing.

I wasn't aware SNC had donated to the liberal campaign. And now we hear China has been funding our top politicos, similarly. What are they buying? Well I guess permissions to colonize our resource industry, CCP police stations in Markham and so on. I detest politicians.

Chihuaha's defamation league lawsuit forthcoming, after the sheep's defamation lawsuit, after the lemmings and seals defamation lawsuit. All of these animals have been maligned by unfair comparisons to stupid humans.

Yes and. yes and yes.

All they got is bluster and bravado (okay and access to money and weapons) but they are such an insane minority and they know people are waking up and they simply can't succeed in the end - so yes, lets hasten their demise by ignoring them, laughing and mocking them, and above all never going along with their plans. Do. Not. Comply.

Chrystia freeland says Canada is being called a joke? It wasn’t the truckers they were laughing about. It was the ineptitude, hypocrisy, incompetence, and openness to being controlled by foreign powers and unelected orgs they spoke of. If anything, the liberals response to the truckers was condemned, except we didn’t get to see those comments because media is controlled by the liberals.

Thank you, provocative and well said. I truly hope Trudeau pays the price and all the other players

Great commentary. I have just finished watching Trudeau wade his way through the Emergency Inquiry. What a horrible way to start the day. I'll leave it to others to comment on the proceedings.

I love your closing comment.

BTW - You deserve more commentary.

Whether it be America or Canada or Australia or China, the same solution applies. Not words, but bullets. Oh, I forgot... Chinese, Australians and Canadians have all been disarmed by their dictators. But they have kitchen knives.

In America, we still (for the time being) have guns and bullets. Our problem is that most of our people are so obsessed with executing innocent, harmless animals while bragging about their 2A rights (rapidly being destroyed) that they can't be bothered to execute our Mortal Enemies. So the future in America, Canada and Australia (as well as most of Europe) looks like the present in China.

Centuries ago, a similar situation was rescued when Attila and His Huns cleansed Europe of the rot, clearing the path to the Renaissance. May our Attila lead us in a cleansing march across North America.

Thérèse, Americans who are "obsessed with executing innocent, harmless animals while bragging about their 2A rights" explain their claim on political liberty quite well. Their courageous game hunting habits differ hardly at all from their military habits, esp. when the game is unarmed or only lightly armed. They are one in spirit with their ancestors and forebears who massacred the buffalo to spite the indigenous people shoved aside by "Justice" and "the Blessings of Liberty". The same courageous thrill seekers tend to prefer also trashy traditions like the bachelor party, which is enough to show that they're like the USA herself. Nobody in a right state of mind will shed a tear for their disappearance from the Americas.

Thanks for the reading suggestion. It's relevant somewhat to my interests. If you enjoy fiction about revolutionary times and their people, perhaps you'd enjoy also "Sozialdemokratische Zukunftsbilder". It was written by Eugen Richter, whom Wikpedians describe as "a German politician and journalist in Imperial Germany." "He was one of the leading advocates of liberalism in the Prussian Landtag and the German Reichstag." A literal translation (not an interpretation) of the title is Socialdemocratic Futurepictures, and an English edition with the clumsy title "Pictures of the Socialist Future" can be found at Mises.org . As the original title suggests, an important lesson to learn is what preceded the Zukunft.

I kinda wish they'd just hurry up...living through this 'chicken-little sky is falling' stage is, frankly, exhausting...I'd really like to get started with the "create something better" phase.

Banking employees have degraded in the last three decades due to the drop in quality of immigration, the move from the sharp minds flowing in from Moscow and Hong Kong to loads of clueless averages flowing in from Ind... Oops.. IQ is raccisst. Anyhow, you get what you pay for. Now, they are VP's and their "imperial slave" mode to the Laval elites is in overdrive mode. Pathetic people overall, but they still should go to jail.

Or, better yet, be executed.
