Canada is a failed state

[OutInTheRain]

Trudeau's cabinet is bought and paid for. The Liberal party was facing oblivion after 2011 and sold their soul on the cheap. They imported so many current members back from overseas, promised so many things. No one ever questions why after the election the Clinton Foundation got 20 million. No one ever questions the sudden foreign media support that Trust-Fund Trudy suddenly enjoyed.

So seemingly, Doug Ford in Ontario has made the Liberals and NDP very upset for using the notwithstanding clause to force a public sector union to accept a contract. Meanwhile they have been incredibly silent with how Quebec's Legault has used the NWC.

Of course, these same liberals and NDPers were gleefully celebrating the use of the EA a few months ago.

So...I'm conflicted. On one hand, I think the NWC is hilariously abusive and dangerous, and shouldn't exist. Yet...I can't help but enjoy the misery of liberals and NDPers being absolutely shocked that the government will come and stomp on them too.

I hate how prohibitively expensive getting a hunting license is in this fucking province(BC). I have to literally watch food prance away in my backyard while I get fucked hard on meat prices.

Is that Fahrenheit or Celsius? I swear the lefties and normies in this country are paste and crayon connoisseurs of the lowest order.

That said, I find it interesting that @Sweetpeaa brought up the 2008 recession that Harper helped Canada narrowly avoid. I've watched a few videos by YouTube "experts" (so take with a handful of salt) and they state Canada has a similar housing bubble to the one that popped in the US nearly fifteen years ago. Hell, many economists are warning that Canada will be heading into a recession next year, but I doubt that Liberal partisans will heed them. Too many Canadians have a crippling normalcy/optimism bias and simply cannot fathom that things can go downhill fast. "$10 a day" child care? Oh, yeah. That is a huge comfort when food/fuel/heating prices are through the roof and rising interest rates are squeezing the middle class into oblivion. Oh sure, the federal government is proving a one-month-only $500 rent relief and doubling the GST rebate for six months may help in the short term, but the LPC is merely throwing scraps and expecting us to be grateful. Never mind the fact that it's our own money he pilfered for his tax and spend schemes.

It astonishes me to see how detached Trudeau, his cabinet, and Liberal partisans are from reality. Harper had his problems, but as mentioned before, he was a pragmatic leader while Trudeau is an utter ideologue caught up in his utopian delusions. He is everything the left accused Harper of being and worse.

don't you just LOOOOOVE how Trudope thinks that a one-time $500 dollar payout to renters and dental care for under-12 low income kids will solve alllllllllllllllllllllllll every Canadian's financial problems? [/sarcasm]

Holy shit how much IS it now? If this shit keeps up people will have to resort to poaching the King's Game. That's the fucking NDP for you.

The notwithstanding clause was placed into the Charter to get most of provinces (sans Quebec) to sign the charter in 1982. It is also important to note that Section 1 (AKA the limitations clause) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms also allows judges to selectively override the other sections if they deem it necessary. My understanding is that a 2015 court decision deemed "back to work" legislation unconstitutional, which prompted Ford to invoke the NWC. It basically acts as a check for activist judges who believe that they can legislate from the bench.

The reason why Liberals and NDP, especially the former, remain silent of Quebecs constant use of the NWC is pure politics. Quebec as always been key to the Liberals gaining a majority so they will what they can to appease La Belle Province at the expense of everyone else. I imagine it is now especially imperative that they hold their seats because suburban Toronto AKA the 905 could flip to the Tories if inflation, housing, and interest rates go up.

It proves that the Charter is ultimately a self-defeating document only useful for toilet paper.

I'd add that part of the reason why the Liberals and NDP are so up in arms is the fact that CUPE are big financial donors to their political parties. But you are correct.

see if you were in the states you could just shoot it and if you got caught just start spouting a bunch of 15th century English common law about how you are a sovereign citizen and you demand a jury comprised of other sovereign citizens so that the judge will get a migraine and think "is a fuckin deer worth my time on this?" and dismiss the case.

So bad that I almost exclusively buy meat on sale. Things are going bad, man.

There is a clause where you can legally hunt if you have to to survive, IIRC. It's an old law and I'm pretty sure these days it'd only apply to featherniggers.

 

[OutInTheRain]

The Not Withstanding Clause was added to the 1984 constitution because the Premiers, mainly the western ones, were worried about the Liberal practice of appointing failed candidates and riding association members to the federal bench. They were worried, that every time they did something the feds didn't like, getting a judge to overturn it was just a mere phonecall away. The whole thing was cooked up by Chretien and the Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed, while the two were drinking in the latter's kitchen.
The 1984 constitution is a tribute to Trudeau Senior's vanity, and is kind of a garbage article. Also fun fact, did you know the Canadian Human rights tribunal has a 100% conviction rate?

like, are we talking hundreds of dollars, or thousands?

The toilet paper might feel insulted to be compared to that Charter and even the cats won't want to play with it or use it for their litter box.

I just randomly found this Twitter account that perfectly sums up just how aggressively dumb Trudeau supporters truly are.

Allow me to introduce you to Bonnie Cull.

On my phone right now, so I can’t post screencaps but I have taken the extra measure to archive her Twitter page.

Second archive
I also realized that she has a Facebook account and constantly shits up the comment section of CTV News by proclaiming her hatred of working class people on a regular basis by screeching “Freedumb”.

As seen in this comment section, for example:

If you need someone who fits the stereotypical Trudeau voter, with a dash of being a schizo empty egg carton, well there you go

Harper had his problems, but as mentioned before, he was a pragmatic leader while Trudeau is an utter ideologue caught up in his utopian delusions. He is everything the left accused Harper of being and worse.

I think the recent "Just cancel Disney+" moment is basically the Canadian version of 'Let them eat cake?'

On Harper, there were certainly things to complain about, just as there was fear mongering about him. There were a few corruption scandals (ironic considering that he came in due to a liberal corruption issue, and now Trudeau has his own corruption issues), the proroguing of parliament, and he honestly was pretty neo-liberal in a lot of things;

But in comparison to the neo-liberal liberals? Who got in on leftist id pol points (ie, same economic plan, just now we're brown and gay!), his cabinet actually seemed to understand economics, seemed to respect individual liberties, and I couldn't see him forcing a lockdown on the entire nation the way that Trudeau enabled.

Thats the big thing to me, in terms of a political crisis, he weathered 2008 super well, and Harper unironically I think would be the person I would have wanted to see in charge during Covid. I think that some of the economy is out of the hands of any nation (global supply chains), but considering that an enormous amount of damage was done with the lockdowns, shuttering local businesses, etc- I do believe he would have governed a bit more, well liberal in his approach, in the classical sense, considering he comes from the West as well, where the local businesses are much more important.

It's unusual how many supporters Trudeau still has. The 2015 Trudeau ''character'' was the biggest facade put up by a politician practically ever. Seven years later people should know at least by now what Trudeau really is but the surprise is, they really don't.

 

[Just_Somebody]

So in a very interesting (although unexpected) update, CSIS (Canada's combo CIA/NSA) stated there was no security threat from the Convoy to warrant the EA and stated that it's use will likely make the situation more tense and dangerous and make more people be opposed to the government.

Canadians, particularly eastern Canadians, are a nauseatingly sanctimonious and self-important people. They'll gladly gaslight themselves into ignoring the endemic rape and assault occurring on their own streets in favour of UN 'liveability' indexes conducted by people who have never set foot in the country, because they have a passive-aggressive obsession with being praised simply for existing.

It's not that they're unaware that he's an empty husk of a person and that the real-time erosion of the basic functions of state overlaps with his time in office, it's that they don't care because he appeals to the chronic inferiority complex this country has especially with the US.

I guess if that SOB lost everything, and being more poorer than the working class people. She might be too stubborn to change her mind.

She legitimately sees herself as superior to them, in a white saviour kind of way by just voting for Trudeau.

At first I thought she was just a troll, but it’s become clearer that she’s a legitimately unhinged empty egg carton living in Toronto.

I can’t find the post where she did it, but on Facebook she was dumb enough to link to her own Linked In account, complete with her place of employment and then later bitched that her own managers told her to knock off the behaviour when they were alerted to her comments.

I also found her Pinterest account, where she outright states 9/11 being an inside job, but frowns upon other conspiracy theorists

Canada is a nation built on resentment. The Quebecois resent the British for conquering then in 1763, and the first Ontarians were United Empire Loyalists who resented having to leave their homes after the Americans won their independence. Couple that with Western resentment towards the East and other regional bickering and you have a fundamentally dysfunctional state. Hell, Laurier (I believe) once said that the twentieth century would be Canada's, but that never came to pass as the country was a bit player for most of that time with a few exceptions.

Aging Boomers form the nucleus of the current Trudeau's support base as they are nostalgic for his father under the foolhardy belief that his father oversaw the country's golden age. However, the fact is that Pierre Elliot Trudeau presided over a decline in Canadian "power" and prestige. Stagflation brought on by the oil shocks of 1973 hit Canada hard as it did the rest of the world and the man created massive deficits though drastic increases in government spending, which resulted in double-digit interest rates in the early eighties. Despite what Trudeaumaniacs believe, the rest of the world saw PET as a smug nuisance and largely ignored him save for his publicity stunts such as when he pirouetted behind the queen.

Fast forward to today and Canada is in the same place is was forty years ago with inflation and interest rates climbing . Indeed, Justin and the followers of his cult of personality believe that Canadians have never had it better. They have chugged the Flavor-Aid and believe their utopian delusions while the facade crumbles around them. Much of the information coming out of POEC shows how out of touch the government is with reality and bases its policy solely on ideology. The Freedom Convoy demonstrated that there is growing resentment hyper-polarization across the nation and that it is fracturing similar to what is happening in the United States, especially after the Ottawa establishment's reaction to it.

We should have taken Justin at his word when he stated that he admired China's "basic dictatorship". His ruling style is very much similar to Xi Jinping's.
