Why do enough Canadians tolerate this or look the other way entirely?
It's because Canada's very existence is strictly centered around modern liberalism, which in itself was sowed by postmodernism, which in turn is based on the psychotic delusion that objective reality is irrelevant and that subjective reality can be controlled by manipulating language, including but not limited to normalization of infantile behavior, crybullying, and emotional hysteria. These things were happening long before Castro Jr. was installed in Sussex Drive, but he definitely hasn't sparred any efforts when it comes to
Cloward-Piven style accelerationism. All the censorship and oppression that came with the Corona lockdowns and suppression of the 2022 trucker convoy, those aren't bugs, but features of the system.
It is inconceivable that things could get this bad so they pretend that it does not exist. If forced to acknowledge it
Even if Canadians were forced to publicly acknowledge it, I'm not entirely clear on what exactly you'd want them to do. Canada is a democracy, and it's own government loves to signal incessantly on how it's the most important thing in the universe. At the same time, it doesn't go a single day without demanding mass censorship everywhere all the time, especially if it's citizens dare so much question how useless and dysfunctional their purported democracy is. Simply put, Canadians don't have the ability to petition to petition to
anyone over grievances, and to have those grievances addressed. They are told to “vote for change,” and as far as I know Poilievre has zero intention of doing much of anything useful. If change doesn’t happen, then the peasants are held responsible for the lack of change, because they voted the wrong way, which in turn they're left with zero choice but to deflect blame to provinces and other entities, as you've written.
Democracy, especially in it's Western form, ultimately amounts to a complex system of victim blaming. It just so happens that Canada is the prime example of that.
Somehow these morons believe that we have nothing to learn from history and that big daddy government will hold our hand down the primrose path to utopia.
Sure enough, it is a uniquely Western delusion that a government purportedly has an altruistic imperative of "helping people" out of the "kindness of their hearts," as opposed to simply upholding the social contract that justifies it's creation in the first place.
