To my fellow leafs: I've shared a lot of blackpills previously, and unfortunately so far they've been coming true (imo).
So, given the recent developments, this isn't going to be just more dooming:
With the declaration of the Emergencies Act, a line in the sand has been drawn.
Every leaf here that feels strongly about these events needs to make a choice: Do you want to escape this tyranny by emigrating to freer lands, or do you want to stay in Canada and try to change the course of the ship. Because unfortunately, while the choice was obscured before, now they've made it extremely overt that participating in the protests will strip you of everything. And throw felony level criminal charges on you for protesting or supporting, making emigration to somewhere like the States essentially impossible.
Personally, I've chosen the cowards option: get to the US legally, and fight tooth and nail to preserve freedom there in a country that actually cares about freedom and has the legal and intrinsic abilities to maintain to do so.
For leafs desperately trying to get out, there are still ways. Personally, I see Canada as Russia in 1918. It hurts to abandon my homeland, but these days America resembles the Canada I remember way more than the bughell we've become.
One of the reasons I'm so blackpilled on these events is that I am bug daywalker. I live in a super bughive, in a super bug industry, and everyone around me in daily life is max bug. My IRL "friends" are all ultra-Liberal supporters, so I know exactly what they think about these events. If the protests overtook the cities, I'd probably have to desperately stammer out my secret allegiances as I was strung up as just another bugdweller.
And let me tell you, the memes about NPCs blindly believing everything that's in the MSM and regurgitating it is 100% true. Even people who are reasonable and intelligent in many aspects just have this chip in their heads where they turn their critical thinking off regarding news completely, and then just blindly believe and repeat whatever the CBC farts out without even thinking. And that's terrifying. They're not retards you can just scam on anything, but they've been completely brainwashed.
And I have no idea how you could do that. I've been privately trying for over a decade with some of these people, and I've found it impossible. There are too many loyal dogs in this country, for better or for worse. No matter how badly you beat them, they still are subservient. And I realized that I can't stem the tide singlehandedly. So, rather than trying to convert everyone around me to think the way I do, I'd rather just move to where everyone already thinks like I do.
Escaping this country isn't a quick or a simple thing, it will likely take at minimum a year of hard hard effort to put yourself in the position to do so. But with 5 years of effort, almost anyone in this thread could put themselves into the position. So, if you're on the fence, the best time to start getting your affairs sorted out was 10 years ago, but the second best time is right now.
To the people who are going to stay and resist: Godspeed. If I didn't have the ability to escape, then I'd be with you. But I can't choose that hard life, not for me and my family. TPTB in Canada are strong and completely united, and it will be an extremely tough battle. Those that continue to resist are far, far braver than I. And I give you the utmost respect.
