Canadians seem to have forgotten that there have been disastrous problems created by the Trudeau government aside from the economic ones....crime, hate marches, housing, health care, unfettered immigration of those who will not assimilate, ethics violations, unfettered ridiculous foreign aid (millions to Bangladesh for "intersectional democratic spaces" for example), drugs and the entirely questionable safe supply policy, and on and on.

Facing the choice between Yes-man Singh, CCP Carney or Verb-the-Noun Poilievre, Canada will continue its national slide into disorder, dysfunction, and disintegration regardless of who 'wins' the election. The very idea of reordering Canada as each of these nits are campaigning to do away from the evil empire that is the US (because of Bad Orange Man and Nazi Musk donchaknow while seeing China and 'Europe' as our 'friends') is beyond ludicrous starting with the harsh reality of geography, our shared history and peoples, and the economic necessity these impose on all of us regardless of our political preferences. Thinking we must alter this reality by casting the correct vote is at best delusional and at worst totalitarian (it seems to me to be a simply a case of which is the least deluded and the competition for that is ferocious).

Apparently, if we can just agree to rally around the colonial flag-of-shame even more under this or that party, we can magically transform these facts into a dreamscape of a either a globalist or nationalist nirvana while the US stands idly by. Neither will happen. But I suspect Alberta will be the first to dive back into reality and adjust its role to the brute fact of a changed international order under Fortress America rather than be willingly submerged yet again and to further depths by more divisive pie-in-the-sky progressivism in all its colours from Ottawa.
