Anything can be repaired. The real question is, should you stick around and put in the effort to better the place for the people who fucked it up to begin with- if given the option of leaving?
No.
If Canadian culture doesn't exist, as the government tells me it doesn't, and my history doesn't exist, as the government tells me it doesn't, then why not move south to the US?
Mark my words, when the crunch comes, then the government will try to call on 'traditional Canadian values' that its spent the past decade spitting on and calling racist.
That crunch may be coming soon when the time comes for Canadians to renew their mortgages and decide to walk away from them because they can't afford their homes. Given how the Canadian economy has been increasingly reliant on both real estate speculation and mass immigration to keep the Ponzi scheme going, it's massive disaster waiting to happen.
Stephen Harper may have been a globalist, but his premiership was at least a symbolic victory for western Canada in that the West was finally "in" (borrowing from the old Reform slogan). Of course, the Laurentian elite that included the public sector, unions, media, etc. hated him and worked tirelessly to undermine him. The Liberal Party of Canada tried and failed to depose him with Stephan Dion and Michael Ignatieff, and failed miserably. The LPC then elected Justin Trudeau as leader in 2013 and won a majority government in 2015, which eventually became the revenge of the Laurentians who sought to dismantle Harper's legacy.
Unfortunately for the country, the Laurentians went all in on the woke nonsense to create their own post-national dystopia that stripped what little remained of Canada's identity away. All that remained were meaningless platitudes meant to mollify the terminally insecure left whose only real identity was their anti-American chauvinism. It may have worked to the first half of Trudeau's premiership, but the first cracks appeared during SNC-Lavalin scandal. Of course, the media half-hearted covered it and Trudeau could do no wrong in the eyes of his personality cult. Since then it has been a slow drip of scandals and with him only ever managing to cling onto power with minority governments in 2019 and 2021, and depending on a craven Jagmeet Singh to rule as a
de facto majority.
2023 appears to be a turning point. Affordability and housing are now at crisis levels and the Liberals acted much too slowly. They would not even reacted at all if Pierre Poilievre hadn't been making noised for the past year. Their only solution is same failed policy that got us into their mess in the first place: throw money at it and hope that it goes away. Trudeau spent so much time dividing the country that Quebec nationalism is surging and western Canadians are seriously discussing secession from the country. His egregious double standards and imperious attempts to subvert provincial jurisdiction damaged national unity--possibly beyond all repair--to the point where I don't even identify as Canadian anymore.
Given that the polls have given Poilievre's Conservatives a massive lead; the latest Nanos poll shows that the CPC has a 19-point lead over the LPC, who could possibly return to third-party status as what happened under Ignatieff. Trudeau, the LPC, and even the legacy media are undergoing a meltdown that makes Chernobyl look tame. A common refrain from the Liberals is that Poilievre is bring American-sytle politics through anger and fear, when the very purpose of making those claims are to scare Canadians into remaining in their camp. They and their media lackeys jump on Poilievre for every (perceived) misstep such as his questioning the PM on the Rainbow Bridge accident when it was assumed to be a terrorist attack. The media took it further when he took a reporter to task on her asinine question.
What the Laurentian and media establishment fail to realize is that Canadians are simply sick of Trudeau. So what if Poilievre lied? Stop the presses! A politician lied! They weren't half as bothered by Trudeau's flagrant lies over the last eight years so why should I care if the leader of the opposition does it too? You don't necessarily have to like a politician to vote for them. The twin problems for the Liberals is that the Trudeau brand is now poison to the electorates one and the fact that Trudeau IS the Liberal Party. He spent much of his premiership purging the party of moderates and replaced them with fellow ideologues and sycophants.
The party's best chance to hold onto power is to force Trudeau to resign, but he won't because is a narcissist with delusions of grandeur and importance. He still believes that he is the infallible Sun King of Canada will thus never deviate from his current course so I don't see him as able to reverse his decline. It's entirely plausible that Canada will see similar results to this year's elections in Argentina and the Netherlands. However, it requires a complete dismantling of the Laurentian apparatus to repair the damage Trudeau and his cohorts caused to this nation. Sadly, there are too many leftist die hards who would sooner see the country destroyed out of spite than have it handed to their ideological enemies.
