By far the thing I find most disgusting & offensive about all the astroturf being 'planted' by our political and media elite is the fake nationalism. I've said enough in the past about how these parasites have spent the entire past decade demonizing Canada's history & historical heroes with a combination of exaggerated half-truths, modernistic judgments passed without regard to the context of their time period, and outright lies; taking down their statues & other memorials, burning down churches, flying the flag at half-mast, mandating self-flagellation for problem groups (white male Christians above all, of course) throughout the education system and outside of it, etc. They have done literally everything within their power to enforce the view that Canada is a post-national, cultureless economic zone and that any conception to the contrary is fascistic whitewashing of an evil, genocidal settler-colonial state founded on stolen land and First Nations mass graves which deserved to be destroyed in the most humiliating fashion possible.
The last time
real Canadian nationalism expressed itself in force with the Freedom Convoy the nationalists were censored, debanked, trampled by mounted riot policemen and arrested for show trials to the cheers of the seething 'people' infesting Ottawa. Those same people who gleefully wished the worst on said nationalists - would have raped & murdered their entire families and danced in their entrails on TV if they could get away with it - and who have flown the flag at half-mast to demonstrate their guilt at the very existence of Canada when they weren't trampling and burning it themselves, now presume to wrap themselves in the same flag and appeal to the same sense of nationalism they've destroyed & undermined at every turn. It is genuinely vomitous to watch, especially coming from the mouth of a self-proclaimed globalist elite and arch-bankster like Mark Carney who truly has no attachment to Canada except as said rootless economic zone, and all the more appalling when I consider that some people are braindead enough to buy it.
Now, all that said. We're at a bit of an impasse because the same Laurentian parasites who have done such a fantastic job of hollowing this country out, only to now do a volte-face and try to appeal to the same concepts they've practically outlawed and made socially unacceptable to boot for 10+ years, have also inadvertently sabotaged pretty much all their means of hitting back at the 'Muricans who are threatening their grift. That same nationalist fervor they're dead set on trying to whip up to save themselves also locks them into a confrontation which they cannot win, due to said self-sabotage (ex. killing the Energy East project), and where basically any of the non-mega-milquetoast/strictly rhetorical moves they can make (like trying to align us with China or getting us into the EU) will either make America actually
need to go for a full annexation ASAP and/or further undermine their crumbling credibility with the public (you can't sell being ruled by the famously censorious & repressive oligarchs in Brussels as being any better than the Orange Man in Washington). The dead-cat bounce of nationalistic sentiment won't last forever, maybe not even a few years, any more than the upsurge in Russian patriotic fervor did for Tsar Nicholas in late summer of 1914 - sooner rather than later (due to the severity of the various crises gripping Canada and the probability that they will get
worse, not better, in the near future) they're going to have to come up with actual solutions to the problems of the people living here.
Which they
can't because to solve the problems (that they created), like massive replacement migration and its knock-on effects of royally fucking up the job & real estate markets (essentially making this country increasingly unlivable for people my age), would fundamentally run counter to their entire worldview and undermine everything they've been working on for longer than I've been alive. Doing stupid things and letting their mouths write cheques they can't cash, as Doug Ford just did with his electricity threat only to cuck out under slight pushback from Trump, just further humiliates them and impairs their already negative credibility. (Ford, incidentally, is a great example of someone who puts the
Progressive in Progressive Conservative; for example in 2018 he ran on axing explicit and rainbow-tinged sex ed in the school curriculum, only to renege on that promise immediately after winning, which is why my 5 and 4-year-old cousins have already started to see alphabet soup materials in school. He's also monstrously corrupt and has only been comfortably staying in power because his nearest rivals are incompetent and/or even worse.)
The Laurentian elite, in short, have become an extra-gay amalgamation of all the worst aspects of the Russian nobility circa 1916 and the Soviet apparatchiks circa 1990: a horribly degenerate, out-of-touch, incompetent and wholly parasitic ruling class completely detached from the people they rule (and their worsening problems), unable and unwilling to countenance necessary reforms, equally unable to provide justifications for their continued rule to said subjects that will survive more than a few years' scrutiny, and basically trundling along for now due to sheer inertia which is in danger of being overturned by the rapidly changing world around, and under, them. They do benefit from the Canadian masses also being far weaker and more cucked compared to the Esers who blew up Romanov princes without regret and the Bolsheviks with all their demonic charisma, cunning and good fortune; but they are impaired by the existence of a much more powerful neighbor that can sense their crippling weaknesses and who they have just given an endless list of vectors to attack through.
This Canadian-American right-winger on Twitter has posited
his own idea of how America might proceed with schemes to absorb Canada, reminiscent of both color revolutions and the Russian annexation of Crimea.
Here is his Substack essay further elaborating on the above, if you have the time to go through 7,000+ words. I don't agree with everything he says (for example, he seems to think the PPC is more populistic and anti-immigration than it actually is) and he strikes me as fancifully optimistic in more than a few regards, but it's one of the better-thought out pieces on this subject that I've found and I find it very difficult to disagree with the fundamentals. Namely, that 1) there's really not that much difference between the CPC and Grits, PP can
maybe reduce the acute pain we're feeling but he 100% won't fundamentally change the trajectory of this country or address the underlying root causes of said pain and neither will anyone else in the sickened political elite, and 2) the Canadian elites have maneuvered themselves into an impossible situation where:
- They have both come to represent an increasing security threat on the American border (via the puppeteering of our government by foreign agents, which they refuse to properly investigate much less flush out - inquiries into this subject were why Trudeau's government couldn't pass laws even before the prorogation, by the way - and obviously, the unchecked 3rd world immigration with doors wide open for terrorists too);
- But they have also left Canada at its weakest, not only militarily or fiscally but also spiritually, with the same generations that have had it pounded into their heads throughout their childhood & teen years that Canada is an ontologically evil settler-colonial construct now being called upon to do a complete 180 and replace that programming with new Canada #1 programming instead;
- And since this is impossible, being too much cognitive dissonance demanded of them by an elite class that has completely cratered and continues to crater its own credibility (much less its ability, or desire, to actually better their lives in any way), we have come to a point where 43% of Canadians aged 18-34 - a plurality of those polled - would actually be down for annexation if they can just get a 1:1 conversion of their meager assets into US dollars.
Historically, no country that has put itself in such a position has ever gotten to survive for long.
