Loading ...Trump’s trolling about Canada becoming the 51st State has set our country on fire.
Thanks Brian…Great Piece
The last time a foreign leader caused such a big stir was in 1967 when France’s President Charles de Gaulle delivered a speech to a crowd in Montreal. He finished with a rhetorical flourish by declaring “Vive le Québec libre?!”, with particular emphasis on the word libre (Translation: Long live a free Quebec!)
……………
Canada vs Trump is a false choice fallacy.
My allegiance is to my family, my friends, and to my community to protect them from what Canada has become.
Perhaps you don’t understand how deeply we have been betrayed by our country and how thoroughly the govt has obliterated the social contract between the govt and the people.
……………
It all leaves me speechless. How can a culture completely turn its back on everything it once stood for, without any meaningful effort at self-preservation, all because a few pathetic losers have learned to weaponize empathy as a political strategy? Does this country even have a pulse?
Same thing happened here beginning under Obama.
My take is that beginning even before then, but accelerating lately, is that government has more overtly been the vehicle for looting operations by the elites, as we near the financial super cycle end game of fiat (Bretton Woods) demise. They wanted the [hard asset – land etc] lifeboats, of which there aren’t enough to go around.
This was my sentiment in my comments yesterday. Yes Trump is trolling and being Trump but he is trying to fire up Canadians just as he has fired up Americans. Let’s hope it builds into a complete change in all your govt. levels like it has been doing in most of the US.
