Born and raised in Canada. In 1975 this current Trudeau’s father, Pierre Trudeau, froze Canadian’s wages and I said, I’m out of here, packed up my little family and immigrated to the US. My family, what’s left of it, still live there. I visit them every year.
Most of the Canadian people have slowly been indoctrinated into believing in socialism….. since the end of WWII, to the degree even the conservative people are left of what we in the US would call the center. They are wonderful people but after 60 years of ever creeping socialism in their lives, millions of then believe it’s a better way to live and they’ve allowed a noose to be tied around their necks. This truckers protect is a mild revolt, not just against the covid vaccination mandate but a mild revolt against all of Canada’s version of socialism.
My fear is, even after this mini revolt or what I’d call a polite response to another Canadian government overreach, is resolved, the majority of Canadians will go right back to wanting to be governed by socialism and allow their government to control far to many of their personal liberties. If they are able to render Trudeau unable to govern and force him from office, they will turn right around a elect another socialist leader, expecting a different outcome.
Once people get conditioned to having there government make all of their individual decisions and the government be responsible for their entire welfare, from cradle to grave, it’s nearly impossible for them to understand any other way of life.
I believe once you take a country down the socialistic path, the only way back is for living conditions to get so bad it almost becomes like communism or a monarchy.
Let Canada be an example of what not to allow America to become.
