The decisions of the Trudeau govt have been so bad and so many, it’s hard to believe at this point that the job he was sent to do was anything other than to leave the country in turmoil and beyond repair - the country is broken, the citizens are polarized and demoralized. It feels as though it was deliberate, you can’t make that many mistakes by mistake.

Just brilliant analysis by Shuv. Thanks for bringing it to us. I look forward to seeing him with an important role in a Conservative government in the near future.

SORRY FOR THE TYPOS, and also an obviously wrong number. FIXED now, in the web & app version.

Western nations' blind dedication to net zero directly contributed to Europe's dependence on Russian energy. This was a stupid choice, but a choice. Germany was never forced to shut down their energy sector, it was a choice. Canada didn't need to refuse to provide LNG to Europe when asked. Again a choice. Western dedication to net zero has devastated our economies and left us at the mercy of China, Russia and Iran. Our leaders have stuffed their pockets while bankrupting our nations financially and socially. It is a travesty and an insult to those who built this nation and previously peaceful society.

Greetings from Sikkim.

It is probably true that nobody has a roadmap to fixing what ails Canada, but it should be blindingly obvious to everyone by now what direction we need to take. Collectivism always fails; we need to try freedom for a change. Individual economic freedom has not been in favour in Canada since the 1950s. It has taken us 60+ years to dig ourselves into the socialist nightmare we are in, and it will take 60+ years to dig ourselves out again.

Years ago I used to joke that the kids might not have good job prospects or the chance to own a home, but they have something infinitely more important: “social justice.” It’s not a joke anymore. The kids have to rebel against the dysfunctional political morality they have been fed and try something practical. That’s maybe why conservatism is gaining in popularity among the youngest voters. They are waking up to having been sold a bill of goods.

It’s the young women who need to wake up the most. The young women who are puzzled by why they are so unhappy. Jordan Peterson keeps reminding us that women experience negative emotions at significantly higher rates than men do in general; but when the whole of society is a dumpster fire, they will be feeling it most. If anyone can explain to me why young women are so unhappy yet continue to double down on stupid politics, I’d be interested to know.

This entry is particularly rich with material that Pierre Polievre could use effectively on the campaign trail - or before.

Thanks Terry,

I concur. I just hope Pierre P can smooth his approach because the message I’m getting is a lot of people are turned off by his persona and not receiving his message. Please keep passionate and writing. We need you!

Too often Trudeau is guided by ideology and not reality.

Poilievre will be elected on the wave of a massive revolt against the Trudeau Liberals. I've neither heard nor read his position on the WHO pandemic treaty due to be signed in May. You only have to read the media's hysterical reporting of the health crises supposedly driven by climate change or denial of gender affirming care to understand how broadly this treaty can be applied and the subsequent loss of Canadian sovereignty across a wide range of critical national issues. Poilievre has been vocal about his MPs not being WEF members. Meanwhile, the WHO treaty is being ushered in, protested only by Canadian citizens.

Great article Terry. I'm with Shuv on this one he is brilliant...Pierre should take note. We need a goal to get back to normalcy...our Canada is being destroyed by the Trudeau Liberals. Whom benefits from all that has been done by the Liberal gov't using Climate Change as the vehicle to destroy the Canada we know and LOVE...the Laurentian Elite Oligarchs of the WORLD this has been done intentionally. They say MONEY makes the World Go Around...it also destroys!! Turning each other against each other! My thoughts only.

Terry thanks for that. Jean Charest was/is a Conservative only in the same way Mulroney was: a shill for Big Business; specifically, Québecois Big Business. So in other words, in China’s back pocket, the ROC and its interests be damned. Feck him and a curse on Mulroney’s grave.

With rare exceptions the only reason that international students come here to do one or two year certificates is to start on the pathway to getting PR. So eliminate that the number of international students will naturally fall.
