The politics of Canada and our world are always so hard to summarize in a way people scrolling will resonate with. But as I do I continue to try…

Canada. The land that is Canada. Is rich. Like insanely rich. Mind bogglingly rich. Canadians have it all. Fresh water, oil, gas, endless farm land, clean air, minerals, raw materials, rare earth materials, gems, gold, uranium, copper. The list goes on. The precarious position we find ourselves in is people outside of Canada want it for themselves. Not just some of it, but all of it. They don’t care about or have a special bond with the people who live here, and who have roots that go back generations. They want to live here. They want to own property here. They want to own corporations here. They want to control the resources here for their own profit, wealth, and prosperity.

This isn’t paranoia, this isn’t isolationism, and this isn’t racism. This is just a fact of human life. We are surrounded by three of the most powerful nations on the planet. It is in their national interest that Canada does not establish a strong national interest, and the ability to assert it on the world stage.

We over the decades have gutted our military. Allowed politicians who are weak and easily compromised to run our nation. Also people with loyalties outside of Canada into our government and help shape policy. Our people are sicker than ever. More out of shape than ever. More depressed than ever. Also extremely uneducated, apathetic, and nhilistic. Homelessness is worse than ever. Mental illness is worse than ever. Debt to GDP is worse than ever. Household debt is worse than ever. Inflation is worse than ever.

Yet the land of Canada is one of the richest places on earth.

How and why is this the case? And are we going to do something to fix it or are we going to lose it all?
