The current vogue now is to blame all our troubles, here in Canada, on Trump.

I saw this on the Canada Campaign site and have copied it. Originally written by someone called Andrew Laturnus. I have added a few to the original post:

-Trump didn't stop our export pipelines from being built.
-Trump didn't drive half a trillion dollars of capital investments out of Canada.
-Trump didn't stall the growth of our GDP/capita for the last ten years.
-Trump didn't flood our country with millions of migrants.
-Trump didn't throw away hundreds of billions of our dollars on "green" energy.
-Trump didn't cause our housing costs to skyrocket.
-Trump didn't make the Canadian government borrow $600 billon. -Trump didn't legalize hard drugs.
-Trump didn't create our healthcare crisis.
-Trump didn't cause 1/3 of Canadians to go hungry, and food bank usage to more than double.
-Trump didn't turn our dollar into monopoly money.
-Trump didn't push DEI in our country which caused many to be hired -not for their expertise- but for their color, gender, ethnicity.
-Trump didn't make Trudeau break his promise to Veterans
-Trump didn't denigrate and decimate our military.
-Trump didn't insult thousands of Canadians just trying to protest a wrong.
-Trump didn't call an EA on Canadians. Trudeau did.
-Trump didn't cause Trudeau to make a fool of himself in India.
-Trump didn't force Trudeau to slap a carbon tax on Canadians that no one wants, and that has done little but make life more expensive!
-Trump didn't have anything to do with how Trudeau treated Jody Wilson-Raybould, Vice Admiral Mark Norman, General Fortin and others!

No, the blame can be put squarely on Trudeau and the spendthrift, divisive and inept government that he and his ministers and MPs have run for the last 9 plus years. 😡

Saw this guy on CTV National after Smith’s Q&A. Loved listening to him he was spot on to the problems born AB has faced over the years and just resolved totally the way I plan to vote. If we can just shut Rath up now that could be the biggest issue 😂😂😂 to gain more people! AND Smith is right, waiting around for the courts will just make more frustration & democracy held at bay.

I remember Poland under communism. I had lived through this. 1970's we had Edward Gierek, figure that reminds me Carney's views and actions. Gierek's famous words that many Poles can remember were "will you help me"? Our response was "yes, we will". We had great hopes. But Gierek and his political colleagues were living high life like kings. For us we had food stamps, sugar stamps cigarette, alcohol, gas stamps. Stamps were for pretty much everything but the store shelves were empty anyways. As l remember there was like 4 kg of meat per family per month. I may be wrong but l am positive it was not much. People didn't have cars, only some. Anyways, what l wanted to say, l run away from it and ligally entered Canada all these years ago....
I think you need to live through comunism to see the pattern of where we are heading with our current liberal government.
I am not a politician, just expressing my observations.
