2) the best poker player in the world with a bad hand will still lose (The West has a bad hand at this hour)
The West needs systemic change and that is via unification, but we are not ready for that yet. Hopefully WW3 — which has started for anyone paying attention — will be the final stages of nationalism (which always leads to fragmentation and wars by its inherent design).
Hopefully the actions of the USA will force our leaders to pause and attempt to bring our country to grow up and start taking care of the business of govt..
We can’t talk our way out of this mess, action is required and it must be done with citizens and country as the centre of our attention.
This is a generational change that will overlap many changes in ruling parties. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 👍 🇮🇱 🙏
As for enforcing the rule of law in Canada, that depends entirely on whether or not you hold unacceptable views. If you’re firebombing & destroying property, threatening residents, staking out private residences, carrying a Palestinian flag or burning a Canadian flag, you’re a cosseted minority. Imagine IF the trucker convoy behaved like this. (There was something about a monument & MSM lit up like a four alarm fire.)
The trucker convoy people were & ARE theatrically prosecuted in the courts and MSM. Does anyone care to tell me where are the consequences for freezing bank accounts illegally? The prosecution of those threatening our Jewish communities? Heck, our country was shut down because rail lines were barricaded and burned. Nada.
There is NO prevailing rule of law. It is pure retribution, or not, as deemed by our betters in Ottawa, who, themselves, are clearly above the law. (Recently, Boissonnault 🤔)
We haven’t had a true leader since Mr. Harper. Today? The government is a collection of TikTok influencers. Banal. Pointless. Stupid.
There is a prevailing rule of law. It is not perfect - it could be prosecuted more forcefully when it comes to violent street protests that glorify terror and hate. But your view does not reflect the reality.
In these extraordinary times, I see radical shortage of candidates for extraordinary leaders Churchill-rank statesmen are gone, what remains is the generation of mediocre politicians incapable of brave , radical decisions that may cost them election votes.
The center has moved way left. Old stock Centrist's are now labeled "Far Right". In reality, we have only been "Right So Far". Trump is the change that the West needs and the next four years will prove this. Countries only exist with secure borders. Anything but results in Non-Nation States, just as Castreau predicted.
The dilemma for The West:
1) great captains don’t captain sinking ships
2) the best poker player in the world with a bad hand will still lose (The West has a bad hand at this hour)
The West needs systemic change and that is via unification, but we are not ready for that yet. Hopefully WW3 — which has started for anyone paying attention — will be the final stages of nationalism (which always leads to fragmentation and wars by its inherent design).
Excellent article, John
I agree with his argument but fearful we as a society are not up to the challenge
Thanks for bringing this speech and its message to our attention.
Hopefully the actions of the USA will force our leaders to pause and attempt to bring our country to grow up and start taking care of the business of govt..

Citizens into consumers”.. how Correctomundo

The centre has moved left, leaving former centrists on the right. This man is fear mongering.
I'm so disturbed by the pro-Putin sentiments of the conventional right. I am married to a Russian, and my mother-in-law (who came 17 years ago to help for three months with our baby daughter and never left) are both pro-Putin and have too much Soviet brainwashing remaining in their systems, but for those who were born in the West? I tried to examine the Putin love in this piece. https://open.substack.com/pub/paulfinlayson/p/why-do-some-right-wingers-have-a?r=iy2ds&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
