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. 😡

The America of 1960 was healthier than the America of 2025 because they lived in an environment that did not conspire against physiology.

Walk into any American airport today and pause. Look around at the travelers waiting at the gate, the families queuing for fast food, the crowds rushing past. You are looking at a country that our grandparents would not recognize. In less than three generations, the very shape of the American body has shifted so dramatically that what would once have been regarded as rare or concerning is now routine. Airplane seats have been widened, retail clothing racks have been extended, mannequins have been reshaped, and soda cups have been enlarged. Entire industries have recalibrated to accommodate a physiology that is neither healthy nor sustainable.

Yet our cultural ...
