I look back and think...how did we get here??? just a year ago, we had JT corruption and the stage was deliberately set to have an even worse PM. We certainly got hustled, Canada......

The abuse actually began many years ago. It was like a slow moving tsunami that slowly eroded the effectiveness of our system. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives are guilty. This government is only the latest and boldest of the bunch.

Are non citizens voting? Is Alberta the last bastion of government for the people? Nova Scotia just fined a man $25000 before taxes for walking in the woods. Why do I feel the ccp, WEF, the UN and WHO are the ones really in charge.

Covid mandates showed us what was to come but no one paid attention. Covid hotels, preachers in jail, seized bank accounts. A corrupt government and prosecutors. Not my Canada.

Because they are (in charge). Carnage is just the latest puppet.

Larry Fink of BlackRock now runs the WEF...and everything else. Pretty scary stuff if you ask me.

It appears to me anyway that in order to get into government, one must must demonstrate Olympic level stupidity and incompetence, with a dollop of ‘don’‘t give 2 f**ks’ thrown in to seal the deal. But it isn’t just the retards in Ottawa; look at the UK, Ireland and most of the EU, Oz and NZ to name but a few. This level of sheer retardidness was once the remit of African and Latin American despots, with Ray Bans and a cackle of family members in tow, but the libtards have achieved that elusive Olympic Level. If retardidness was an Olympic sport I reckon the libtards would be in the running for gold☘️

In the running? The only competition would be the other Marxists but they’ve been relegated to irrelevance by being fubared by the libtards. So clearly no contest.

Why would the powers-that-shouldn't-be want to fix a system that works brilliantly for them and horribly for the governed? News flash -- we live in a dictatorship and it's not a particularly benevolent one. And what's worse, the majority of Canadians are perfectly fine with it as evidenced by the Covid nonsense and our recent election. Our Charter isn't worth the paper it's written on when clear rights violations happen all the time and the judiciary backs the government every time. Covid worked so well for them that people out east are to be fined $25k or more to walk in the woods because hikers might spontaneously combust. Canada has become a joke and, while these are wonderful ideas, this government has every reason to ignore them.

Can't argue with any of that, though I arrived at a different conclusion. My position is our children are worth the fight. Every day, more and more Canadians are joining the fight and we must keep up the momentum. Many good organizations are arising (i.e. JCCF, CCF, ARC, and many more) to carry the torch.

I'm finally at the stage where I can enjoy the fruits of my labour and go fishing, and some a**hole politicians pull this crap. Oh well, once more unto the breach.

Excellent ideas but will never happen as long as the governing party wants it to be this dysfunctional.

Then, perhaps, a revolution is needed to facilitate a restoration.

Bob Richardson's avatar

I don’t know if a revolution is required, but I do know that it will have to be a grass roots movement. No government will willingly give up such sweeping powers.

After reading this, IMO In four years Alberta will vote Independence with a conservative PMO giving us some impetus on some issue(s). The straw.

I do not see reform for Canada succeeding, with the choice of the people being status quo satisfaction with government and the fear of change.

An excellent introduction for me to the function of Canada.

The USA has two Senators per State for a total of 100 and nearly 10 times the population. How about 2 Senators per Province and one per territory!! Instead of a lifetime appointment, how about 10 years; no pension. Imagine how many tax dollars that would save!!

Agreed but also must be elected. The last 10+ years would not have happened if this was our system.

“The purpose is not revolution, but restoration – of purpose, clarity, order and fairness.”

No thank you.

Fairness is a code word for Marxist Communists.

Canada does not need nor require a Senate, PMO, PCO- Privy Council Office and Governor General to name a few.

Serious overhaul of the judiciary.

These are outdated institutions that have outlived their usefulness.

Proportional representation would be a disaster. The Left would fragment into Indigenous, Marxists, Communists, NDP, Liberals, Browns, Blacks, Chinese, etc. Nothing would get done. Life would be nothing but consolations and virtue signaling.

Canada is past due for revolutionary thinking grounded in common sense, the Golden Rule and respect for humanity.

No tolerance for violence, which is now acceptable by the Judiciary and useless politicians.

Global institutions like the UN, WHO, NATO and other useless NGOs need to be divorced permanently from Canadian support and attention. These are organizations grounded in the distant past.

Has great potential but in a communist country that Canada has become it will not get any better. Ideological politics with PM tied to WEF, UN and Global elites and their desire for total control and domination will not let it happen.

John Mason's post in the C2C Journal is a superbly written look at Canada's failing institutions. The Charter is clearly in crisis, thanks as much to egregious partisanship that slouches towards totalitarianism as to a court system that is clearly out of sorts with anything resembling justice and law. I appreciate his hopefulness, but given the past election, I see no evidence that a majority of Canadians exists to right the ship, and certainly not from the current government. I fear Canada's best days are behind her. Please prove me wrong.

I agree with the meat of your writing but I do not think that our current Prime Minister should be the one to implement this big change. He does not seem pen to anyone's ideas or opinions except his own.

Why should he be? Remember, he himself said he knows how the world works (implying that nobody else does). He must be the best leader in the world.

And Mark Carney is a globalist who has admitted as much. He has ties to the WEF and UN. Also, it's about finances. Brookfield Asset Management has increased their worth since Carney has got in and there's more to come. Let's see how many of the Brookfield related companies will end up with contracts.

And when Brookfield gets richer, our PM who is complying with all laws also gets richer

Great ideas. We need to find a focus point to start a movement. I know that Frank Stronach has major concerns about the state of Canadian governance. Maybe we could rally around him or a similar person or institution.

We have to save Canada from the autocrats that are now our government and bureaucrats.

Keep repeating this because there are lots of slow learners in our country.

Lol, Kanji.

Slow learners is a very polite understatement.

While said government institutions may require an overhaul, more importantly government must be held accountable to the voters. We require a mechanism to ensure this takes place. In the USA they have strong oversight committees scrutinizing government operations but here we have nothing that makes a difference.

There needs to be arrests and trying of turdo and carnage and all their ASSministrations, then execution for treason and complicity in murder. I have heard many telling me they would love to kill turdo and these are far from being bad people. The real bad people are the SFOPP, the corrupt courts, and bureaucrap liars I will be outing.
