Approximately 10 days after the 2019 federal election, the political map of Canada reveals a country much divided along lines that ought never to appear – ignorance and greed versus a deep-seated concern for the country and its future.
The ignorance – denotation not connotation – is paramount in the thinking of those whose see government as the sole source of all and coupled with the aforementioned greed – the ‘me’ crowd, tend to create a community that fails to see reality.
Those who view Canada from the perspective of a country teetering on the threshold of catastrophe, view reality and know that another period of such unbridled incompetence as the past four years, will – not might, but will – cause Canada to become the Italy or Venezuela of North America.
In all my years since I first voted in a federal election – 1953 -- the past four years under the most corrupt and incompetent Liberal Party government Canadians have had to endure has caused me to have serious concerns about the care Canadians have for the future of Canada.
The poll-by-poll results reveal that there exists a majority of Deltans who see nothing wrong in each having an obligation to carry a daily growing debt that amounts to $18,700 – translated that means $54 million a day. Only fools allow themselves to be suckered into such precarious financial situations, but when the country is led by a narcissist as has been the case recently, only doom and gloom await at the end of the line.
I appreciate that not all will see my view of reality and will counter with a comment about this or that which, individually and collectively, amount to nothing more than Pixie Dust myth. It is time to wake from the Liberal-induced slumber and see Canada as a country of worth and not as a personal bucket of gold at the end of a fairy rainbow.
The daily debt is growing at an alarming rate and Ottawa – which created the entire mess through its incompetence – appears not to have any idea of how to stop the bleeding and save the country.
For those who do not know history, research Italy post-Second World War and see how incompetent governments led the country to become a backwater where at times a majority of Italians did not have a lavatory to call their own. An example of how socialism can and did create chaos.
