A country ruined

A comment from Garth Turners blog that I have been reading for years.


While everyone is counting their money, here is some words from the young Canadians struggling to come up with a reason to live and work here.

“What’s the point living here?
I am a young person born and raised in Ontario.
Maybe 5 years ago myself and all my friends had 0% chance of ever living elsewhere and now all of us are eyeing America. All of us have decent enough white collar jobs.
All of us would rather fight for the US if WW3 broke out. I would feel like a traitor fighting “for Canada”.
What is Canada anymore? Not what I was born into and raised in.
Every decision this country has made has made my life harder EVERY single year. I work hard everyday, got my first job at 14 at timmies, saved money, went to school, got educated, and now I won’t be able to afford my own home, my own piece of land…
What’s the point in staying here?
Who turned Canada into a tax farm?”

“Canada is a scam POS place to live now. Full of greed.
The world is taking advantage of our lax immigration laws, immigrants coming here are multiplying like gremlins destroying our health care and available jobs.
People glorify real estate and think it’s a good thing for it to go up faster than the rate of inflation.

The scam government controls supply and demand of real estate by turning up and down the immigration taps.
Canada no longer receives my business, no gifts, no eating out, no tipping, etc….”

“I am grooming my adult kids to leave; I’m leaving. Canada has changed from a place for educated immigrants to a place for desperate refugees/asylum seekers. We are following Frances model. Wich means taxes go way, way up and riots and chaos go up with them.

What the frak do you think is gonna happen when 4 or 5 hundred thousand brown dudes in one city are freezing and hungry and have no work?
So Canada is great…. if you’re looking for a free ride on the tax payer dollar. If you’re trying to build wealth? Go south.”

Conservative MP John Williamson says the Committee on Public Accounts, which he chairs, will return three weeks early on January 7 to force a non-confidence motion in Parliament.

The underlying principle of Canada's Parliament and constitutional order is responsible government, said Williamson in a letter to committee members published on social media, noting the federal government must maintain the confidence of Parliament in order to function.

"It is now clear that the Liberal Government does not have the confidence of Parliament," wrote Williamson.

"Conservative, Bloc Quebecois and NDP members — representing a majority of MPs — have all announced they will vote non-confidence in the Liberal Goverment. This would force a federal election"

Parliamentary committees, explained Williamson, are a refection of the House of Commons.

"Given the oversight mandate of the Public Accounts Committee, it is appropriate for its members to begin these non-confidence ...

Traitorous

What Trudeau has done to Canada can not be called any other name.
It's why so many Canadians say "Thank God for Trump" who won't stand by and allow a communist regime to take a part of the Americas


He concluded Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “finished what his father started,” driving Canada into failing freefall.

Current security threats align with Trudeau’s twisted ideological view that Canada is a “post-national state” which Redman called “a dangerous and deadly conceit as well as a plain lie in today’s actual geopolitics.”


Story begins...
Canada’s national security faces such major challenges, that its state of “crisis” is alarming and enraging.

“In December 2024 we find ourselves in a far worse situation across all areas of national security than we did in 2015,” said emergency response expert and retired Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Lt.-Col. David Redman.

Could heightened external and internal threats result from not only Liberal government incompetence — but also by design?

Redman thinks so.

“This government,...
