The most common one I've seen is "inflation actually went down this year, by 30%", to which its like "Yeah, when it increased by 200% over the previous 2 years, and also what metric are you looking at because my grocery bill has not dropped, etc".
This was one of the final straws for me. The paradigm used to be, you work hard, you invest, you build your own business, and one day you are your own boss- but they literally let businesses die for nothing. Biggest single grab of market share by the oligarchs happened a few years ago, and if you had the entrapaneuership to try and create your own business before that, when covid hit- you got fucked.
Ironically, most do have the same views we had 100 years ago. Dunno about bolshivism, but economically left wing, socially conservative, used to be the average person's view. We're ironically probably going back to that in some sense.
Bolsheviks were typically factory workers. If you're willing to use Notes of a Red Guard as a source (old school commie dude who got ran through the ringer in the Russian civil war), the rank and file Bolshevik was a working class stiff trying to educate himself and get a better lot in life through organized labor. They looked down on the poets and other such silly people who didn't produce anything material of value. They had bad relations with the peasants, who were confused at the concept of revolution beyond the ability to get one or two more acres to plant potatoes on; peasants also would refuse to abide by organized labor rules while working as seasonal labor. If Dune is to be trusted, the factory workers are far more disciplined men than the Tsar's military, who are seen abandoning the country at first opportunity with as much loot as possible.
100%. The working class also knows that importing foreigners - like shipping a fuck ton of them in a short amount of time - deludes the wages of the locals. It is not exactly a left wing policy. So who profits from it then?
The thing is that those hardships will eventually work its way up to them eventually because the laptop class lives off the backs of the working class and produce nothing of value themselves. Most TruAnons love to tout that Canada had AAA credit rating, but let's look at Canada's national debt. It doubled since Trudeau came to power and the deficits keep coming at a rate that is well past sustainable at this point. With high debts comes higher interest payments, and I suspect that the Liberal government is only just barely servicing the Federal debt and keeping that AAA rating,
Consider the current state of the Canadian military- low manpower, even lower morale, most of the already meager materiel sent to Ukraine... could the Federal government even out up a fight?
We're the nation that invented many warcrimes during WWII. There will be a time very soon where we will individually do an audit of the morals and cultural norms we keep and begin to deal with the problem on our own. At first it will go terribly as the dregs of society will have a head start on that audit, but I'm confident that we will be able to pull together into shared identities.
Give working and middle class Canadians the National Socialist platform without telling them it’s from the Nazis and they will agree with the majority of the points.
I'd argue it doesn't even matter what Canada wants. If the US elite want Trudeau and company in power, they'll stay in power., and based on the present crop of pro-migration fuckheads in the US I'd say that's likely. Any sort of Canadian revolution could be crushed by US "liberation." Conversely, the US could also invade at any point in time to fight CCP interests. It's tough being a satellite state of an empire. Canada having no armed forces seems to be a consequence of existing as a client state of the US. Just look across Europe and compare pre-WW2 militaries to post-WW2 militaries.
Some municipalities forbid homelessness. Police or whatever relocates them to cities like Hamilton and Toronto because tent city is actually legal. It's like San Francisco but less shit in the street.
I was using "laptop class" as a synonym for the civil service and various other Laurentian bootlickers, which was a mistake on my part in retrospect. I imagine that much of Trudeau's biggest supporters are in the civil service or retired from it because he will shower them with taxpayer money without any oversight. Unions like PSAC don't have to put the screws to Trudeau as hard as they would to a Conservative government so they can force concessions at the taxpayer's expense. As said on this thread before, many Canadians are historically and economically illiterate so many of Trudeau's support base are non-government normies that can't be bothered to delve into any given issue. They will default to the propaganda the our public education system taught them and deny anything that contradicts that narrative.
Trudeau changed that.
That’s probably the Dental care or Pharmacare that he always goes on about,
A small town is as ill equipped as a bughive to suffer infimmigration, perhaps even worse because there's no jobs. The only well integrated immigrant I know is my pharmacist and he's been here for like thirteen years.
I've heard of small towns in Europe that suddenly become half-migrant because the government dumps them there. It doesn't surprise me that they are doing it here in Canada. They never consider how this erodes social cohesion and produces a low-trust society.
