Prepare to read a remarkable
statement: “everything is broken in this country.”
According to a recent poll, 70
percent— seventy!— of Canadians agreed with that assertion. Those
surveyed say that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s (radically) Liberal
government is too focused on climate change and the war in Ukraine, and not
dealing with issues important to them, such as the high—and rising—cost of
living.
“Everything is broken in this country.”
Much the same is true in America, where the
(radically) progressive Biden administration is obsessed with battling climate
change, funding the war in Ukraine, and making sure that everyone’s preferred
pronouns—and bathroom choices—are honored. The parallels are striking. The
majority of Americans want the government to get their southern border under
control, and the consequent drug and sex trafficking to be eliminated or
greatly reduced. They also want crime-- and inflation-- to be reduced. And the
budget deficit, too.
And, sadly, there is another striking parallel.
Canadians and Americans have agreed for some time now that their respective
countries are going in the wrong direction. Yet, in both nations, the same (or
similar) politicians that caused the problems-- or who at least refuse to
address the issues their constituents/citizens care most about—keep getting
elected. In fact, in the U.S., a great many who flee from “blue” states to
“red” states apparently end up voting…as their fellow blue state residents did.
How can this be? There are only three
possibilities: 1) Many Canadians and Americans are too ignorant of the causes
and effects of politicians and their policies to vote in a manner that would
allow for the changes they claim to want. 2) They really don’t want what they
claim to want…or at minimum prioritize policy prescriptions differently
privately than publicly. Or 3) The vast number of
liberals/Democrats/progressives/Marxists and Deep Staters comprising our
national/state/provincial governments, in collaboration with their sycophants
in the media and academia, are, in diverse and inclusive ways, cheating—and
stealing our elections hidden in plain sight.
Time is short. At this point, the only way we can
fix our broken nations is to commit to doing everything possible, no matter the
time or effort required. This means attending caucuses and school board
meetings, acting as election volunteers, calling/writing/emailing/texting your
elected officials, writing local op-eds or blog posts, and generally doing
whatever else it takes to aid your cause…and your candidates. People on The
Left always do this. We must match—or exceed their efforts if we are to
win. I know this is tough, as most of us have jobs, families, and
commitments. But we must do this anyway.
And most of all, we must tell the truth—always
and forever-- and not shy away from uncomfortable discussion or conflict.
Only in this way will we see to it that “We the
People,” in order to make a more perfect Union, are never ignored again.
