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. 😔

Sadly!

April 13, 2026 — the day Canada’s democracy didn’t just falter, it collapsed in plain sight.

For the first time in the entire history of the Westminster system, floor crossings have triggered a fundamental shift in parliamentary power without a single vote cast. Not one. Let that sink in. The very mechanism meant to uphold democracy has now been exposed as a tool to completely bypass it. When a government can so casually discard the principle of ā€œBY THE PEOPLE,ā€ rendering every citizen’s vote meaningless, only the willfully blind could still believe it governs ā€œFOR THE PEOPLE.ā€ The fact that this even has to be said about Canada is beyond alarming—it’s infuriating.
Blaming Pierre Poilievre for this disgraceful, corrupt spectacle—despite the exposed money trails, the ulterior motives, the blatant lack of integrity—is like blaming a loyal spouse for being betrayed. It’s absurd. It’s a reflection of just how far we’ve fallen. Not long ago, before Trudeau’s leadership took hold, ...
