There’s Never a Wrong Time to Protest, But the Canadian economy is headed for a debt cliff – February 25, 2020,
Personally I think all of these protests are the result of how Canada is governed, our system of governance is very top-heavy, we’re heavily reliant on permission from the Federal government and the Leftist mainstream media to make very tough decisions. During times of peace and prosperity any form of governance works, it’s only during economic turmoil that Leftist politics really turns disastrous.
Canada, for the most part, has fixed it’s Quebec problem, sure Quebec can threaten to leave the Federation, but it will be to their detriment if they do. The First Nations people in Canada, for the most part, have had their standard of living raised via less reliance on the Canadian Government, with that said First Nations people currently have a reliance on Hereditary Chiefs, some of whom prefer Leftist political ideologies.

A Republic similar to a business requires laws that promise people individual Liberties, I’m personally not against Monarchy if that monarchy allows me “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness/property” So although some will say there needs to be a rethink of Hereditary Chiefs, I’m on the fence with it. As many people know the Office of the Hereditary Chiefs of the Wetʼsuwetʼen is a political organization.

Being that I know a thing or two about Protests, how it works is first there are the paid protestors who use whatever means at their disposal to grow awareness about their cause, then incomes the suckers or the dumb protestors who are willing to do all the leg work for free. The protestors who are willing to protest for free (Even Labour Unions get paid to strike) are the suckers who actual cause the most commotion, because the protestors who protest for free, tend to have an emotional connection to the cause.
The moment a sucker is sold on an idea or an ideal, they’ll protest, they may get themselves arrested, take time off work(if they have a job) or do all sorts of crazy things assuming that they’re adding some purpose to their lives, by protesting. During times of economic prosperity, there’s an assumption the good times are guaranteed and there’s also an assumption, that there’s an easier or better way to do things. This siren call is very appealing and often accompanies people to their grave.

The real problem Canada’s economy will have going forward is the Conservative Party of Canada, who has made the decision not to push back against Socialism. In America, currently, there’s a man by the name of Bernie Sanders surging in the polls, Bernie Sanders is openly socialist and Americans who know better, see Bernie and Bernie’s followers as comical, it’s not to say that Americans don’t think Bernie can win, it’s just that is at least 100 million American capitalists, who will make Bernie Sanders supporters pay a hefty price for their socialism.
Trump recently bragged about how Americans can soon buy CHEAPER drugs from Canada, if that flew over your head, it’s probably because you don’t understand capitalism or a free market. If you’re wondering why prices for any good or service is expensive, consider looking into your federal governments’ policies regarding that particular industry. Although Canada is known for it’s Universal Health Care, it’s delivered through the provincial and territorial systems.
One of the reasons Jagmeet Singh sounds like such an idiot regarding health care is that he doesn’t seem to comprehend why Canada’s health care system is better than the Americas. Our Federal government, for the most part, stays out! In Switzerland as an example, their government revolves around their equivalent to municipalities having more control than their Federal Government, which is why most people don’t know who the Prime Minister or President of Switzerland is!
Communism revolves around their equivalent to Federal Government micro-managing every aspect of the economy. What this means is that the Communist leaders have to be extremely smart, this is why most innovation doesn’t come from communist countries. Because if an invention requires government approval, or if an innovation could threaten the communist government, the individual responsible for the innovation could be jailed, killed or have their lives complicated. Now let me ask you a question does Justin Trudeau seem like a smart man to you? I’m not aking if you like him as a person, I’m asking you if you genuinely think Justin Trudeau is a smart man?
Because if you don’t, I have to remind you that socialism requires an excellent management team. In China, their communist government via human rights violations does an amazing job managing their economy, in Venezuela and Cuba not so much. Socialism requires extensive knowledge of the free market. Paul Martin, although more of a socialist in my opinion, still understood the Free market, traditionally Canadian Liberals we’re Keyesnians, the problem with Keynes is that even Keynes believed in a Gold Standard, why? Because people have to able to feel the effects of socialist policies. There has to be some push back, if there’s no push back and worse there are no economic consequences, eventually the communist crowd will chant for more socialism.
If socialist and Protectionist laws were passed in Canada and appeared to work for than 30 years, why shouldn’t Leftists assume that Socialism works? You see this is the disaster created by the Conservative Party of Canada, who to date still haven’t drawn a line in the sand. What was Stephen Harper really? He basically Conserved Liberal policies and made them more efficient.
Canadians at that time hadn’t been exposed to the financial products that crashed the U.S economy, you see Canada had some smart Liberals in the 1990s, yes they were corrupt, but they were smart. Their genius manifested into a better Conservative manager of their economy, unfortunately, Stephen Harper did too good a job and because Stephen Harper also got in the habit of picking economic winners and losers, Justin Trudeau with brand recognition merely raised the stakes.
Why cut the deficit when interest rates are low? This is the time Canada should do more deficit spending Trudeau alluded, I am your Social Justice warrior, Trudeau told his supporters I also care about the environment and I will combat climate change. Trudeau has made good on promises to his supporters, what I think of Trudeau has little to do with what he’s done to the Canadian economy. Stephen Harper picked winners and losers, Trudeau took it to the extreme and now Canada is being faced with a whole new problem that could realistically result in a severe economic collapse.
I pray that Donald Trump wins the upcoming election because Bernie Sanders is horrible for Canada. Bernie Sanders will cause economic stagnation in the U.S and the United States is our largest trading partner. Now, in the pst there was optimism about Canada diversifying it’s trade with other nations, well now that it’s clear that the winners of pipeline blockades were the environmentalist, not only is Alberta landlocked, but it appears that under Justin Trudeau Canada is landlocked also!
I think because of Conservative brainwashing the Western Canadians are afraid to fight for themselves when you’re part of the swamp, you can’t fight against the swamp, because to fight against the swamp will also equate to you having to address your own desires of protectionism. The cultural elites of Canada, in my opinion, are officially in charge and this spells impending doom to the Canadian economy! I wish you all the best and I deem it wise you consider preparations for what may or may not be coming to our great nation!
