As usual you told it like it is in straight forward language. It seems the majority of Canadians believe our problems are caused by Trump. Our problems were here long before Trump. The main problem he did cause was to give the Liberals and their Media Partners a way to win an election they were sure to lose. But even that is not Trumps fault .It is the fault of the sheep voters who believed the endless anti Trump rhetoric from the CBC ,CTV etc.

I am a dual citizen who never voted for a Liberal but did vote for Trump twice.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

Ditto for me in. And to find out that we are not all Canadian citizens, but 2nd or 3rd class ones, is a huge betrayal. What angers me is all the lies people are told to come to Canada and then attacked for coming. Canada doesn't offer a better life for all, and what people need to understand is that those who come through the legal pathway of landed immigrant to Canada, have to pay a fortune to ship our things and ourselves to Canada. Most importantly, these immigrants get no free handouts, no benefits, nothing. As with my parents, we had to bring our own money and have a job for my father to live on. And Carney, the Trudeaus, and even the Conservatives and others have mixed up this, lying to Canadians, causing us to be targetted when we paid to come here. Now, refugees are a different story, and many, especially coming from the Middle East, lie to get in because they all know everything is free for them in Canada.

I agree with you, immigration should be done the way you and many others did. My great grandfathers came to Canada in the 1850,S .There was no money or help for them . I have known many people over the years that have come to Canada as you did to work and become a citizen . They also paid their own way ,as it should be. The Trudeau government changed that to allow anyone to come here and claim asylum or come under student visa and never leave etc, Canadians pay for their welfare .

I moved to the US in 1991 and later became citizen ,.I received no benefits of any kind from government. I moved back to Canada in 2019.

My apologies on behalf of our Marxist government… you should have had a criminal record, then you would have gotten a lot of perks. It’s this bad here!

Andrea McGurran's avatar

So true, sadly. You don't ever need to apologize on behalf of the Canadian government. Good Canadians like yourself are suffering equally as much. It's time we all stood together and put a stop to this madness. I keep telling people a comparison, between Canada and the Holocaust. The laws and discrimination, eventual persecution and murder of the Jews didn't begin overnight, like shown in most films. It happened very gradually over a period of a decade. To think that such things could happen in a so-called 1st first country is mindblowing, but we just have to look at Canada to see how we are going down a very dangerous and sick road. However, most Canadians, just like most Jews, find it hard to believe that things could get any worse or that things could ever get as terrible as the Holocaust or the Russian Communist revolution. We must act or flee. For my family and I, going back to the UK isn't exactly the best choice either. The UK is much worse with the invasion now than it was before. I spoke to my cousin in Wales and she explained that any complaints about what the invaders and the government or police are doing gets people put in jail. Those characters are kidnapping women, girls and children and selling them into modern day slavery abroad, sexual slavery. Girls are being groomed in the UK and sold daily to different men, but the police and government has become so far-left extremist woke, that they don't want to be accused of Islamaphobia. It's sick, but Canada is heading this way rapidly. Praying for all Canadians and all peoples who are suffering this way. Stay safe and God bless you!

Marg's avatar

Well thank you! and I wish you all the best in your new country, I hope that you can make a difference there, so incredibly wrong this all is.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

I hope so, but we are still in Canada for now, and hope to make a difference before we leave.

Harold B.'s avatar

Yes smoke and mirrors . Only works on stupid people which we seem to have no shortage of anymore . Canada started falling at a quick pace after the Liberals and Trudeau came to power . All of this is there for anyone to find online but this indoctrinated elbows up group feed off the gospel according to CBC of which there is no light or truth in .

Marg's avatar

So many have such very short memories! It’s insane! But this is ALL intentional, the mainstream media pushing their hate agenda down people’s throats.

Esther Wolfe's avatar

Thank you Sue-ann for your excellent journalism. It was a great article ! And one does not dare stand up for the USA or you are denigrated….shame on close minded brainwashed Canadians.

{Logan} Untitled's avatar

Yeah, I wonder how come Sue-Ann can be so good. Must have been trained in a diferent country, where they still educate students.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

And what is that supposed to mean?

Eva Smillie's avatar

Likely referring to legacy media non-journalists who parrot government propaganda .. its lovely to have a true Canadian journalist like Sue-Ann, telling it like it is. (Untitled Logan can Google it, but Ms. Levy went to Canadian Universities when they were still educators, none of this woke nonsense)

Pam Anderson's avatar

I tell this to every American that apologizes for Trump. Our government caused all of this. If we had a strong economy, resource development, and didn’t chase away investment we would not be so vulnerable. Liberals did it to us. They still are.

Bill's avatar

Recent history, but we have 75 years of practice not taking a resource economy to the next stage of development.

Pam Anderson's avatar

Agree but Liberals are next level.

Bill's avatar

They are, but, how can we develop an economy of some kind after years of mismanagement? Somebody has to pay for it, we are broke, buried in liberal ideological fantasyland.

Dennis Mitchell's avatar

Find & vote for a DOER not a talker. Liberals are all talk.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

And that attitude is why Canada will never recover and continue to falter until it is no more. The voting pattern of most Canadians has been to vote out the Liberals with Conservatives and when the Conservatives fail, they vote the Liberals back in. Voting is no longer viable, especially thanks to Lucuszak and his hate-filled, propaganda speech about Albertans to Carney.

Darrin Lauder's avatar

Yes, but the level above them that most seem to be missing is the globalists that control the puppet governments. The 'lock step' never went away. The uni-party is both up here and with our neighbors to the South.

Anthony Tasker's avatar

Well we let it happen

{Logan} Untitled's avatar

You're dead right Pam.

Sunlover's avatar

Trump’s actions sure did not help us out to get rid of the Liberals. He provided a perfect distraction for the Elbows Up crowd to focus on and brainwashed them that only Carney could “stand up to the big bad orange man”. This was a perfect smokescreen to deflect from all the actual damage done to Canada by Liberal policies since 2015. I don’t have TDS and I’m not ELBOWS UP, but there is more going on than what we are being presented with. #TruthOverTribe

Andrea McGurran's avatar

Since Confederation, not since 2015.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

The Liberals began it when Confederation started and it never stopped. Canada's history speaks volumes about prejudice, discrimination, and forced assimilation.

Canadasceptic's avatar

Spot on. A huge part of being a liberal/"progressive" is to scapegoat others for everything wrong in your life or country because responsibility is a dirty word for the elbowzos. On every important metric Canada is worse off now that it was 10 years ago, and when Trump's term ends we'll continue to fall behind on every economic and quality of life metric. I guess at that point it'll be the fault of the "Zionists," which is not hard to imagine when the most popular name for baby boys in Alberta is some iteration of Mohamed.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

Yup, and we have to defend Alberta, before it falters as well.

Canadasceptic's avatar

I'm in Ontario (part-time) but am rooting for Alberta!

Andrea McGurran's avatar

Thanks so much. Join us? We have to keep all Canadians who love democracy together. We are fighting for what's left of Canada.

Allby's avatar

100 % correct I have walked away from people around me with TDS they lack any critical thinking skill. Trying to reason with these people is a waste of time. Never argue with a moron they will try to bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

Tracy Matts's avatar

Excellent and so true commentary Allby.

Edward  Gullickson's avatar

A very good and accurate read . I agree 100% . At 79, I am NOT an "Elbows Up" lib fool and never will be . How and Why so many boomers are in line for Carney , just blows me away .

Blind, stupid or both are the only answers I can come up with .

Steve Vasseur's avatar

Begin with our poorly structured education system of the past 20 years and most of the attitudes to ideologies by our young people have been molded into place by it. Most nation's problems are directly related to poor government policies, keep up the fight and I'm 76.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

I'm not far off from your age, and I agree. It all began with Confederation and the Liberals who bought stolen land in Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan, without the permission of the landowners, some of whom were actually Americans, before the European settlers arrived. Those American landowners got on well with the Indigenous and didn't try to murder them.

Pat Parkinson's avatar

These r my feelings, exactly. Also 79….

Darrin Lauder's avatar

I don't believe for a second that Canadians voted our present PM in place.

I was suspect back when our previous PM and the NDP traitor were said to meet with elections Canada before the election. With a coalition in place and no opposition party present (not that we have a real one!) one can only wonder what that was all about. More mail in ballot extensions; make sure Dominion voting machines were used; allow the paid mass invasion people to vote w/o I.D. ???

Deborah Thompson's avatar

And print the wrong address on mail-in ballot envelopes….

Andrea McGurran's avatar

Yup, probably Communists, the about 700 IRGC, and Nazis that the feds openly welcomed to live in our nation and help drive the rest of us out. It's the replacement immigration system of bringing in unvetted refugees by the millions, instead of law abiding, Canada loving landed immigrants who pay their own way, not take free handouts in the invasion of North America, just as is still going on in Europe and the UK.

Deborah Thompson's avatar

76 here. No “Lib fool Elbows Up” sentiment from our house either. Can’t believe so many idiots are continuing to vote for this Liberal mess of lost years! 😡

Irene Mosher's avatar

Well stated facts. I can see the truth in each of your criticisms.

I'm grateful you didn't say it was the seniors who support this train wreck of a government. I am over 80 and constantly warn my grandchildren. (Not that they listen any better than I did at their age.)

Andree's avatar

My situation also.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

Your generations fought to make Canada a great nation, but it wasn't just your grandchildren who didn't listen. My adult children's generations are even worse.

Brian Giesbrecht's avatar

A certain amount of anti-Americanism is natural when living near the #1 nation in the world. In fact, leaders in countries like Mexico, Venezuela and Cuba have made it their most important vote-buyer. Here, the Liberals have always used some level of it, while the Conservatives have played it down. But the Carney Liberals have made it an addictive drug. They use their CBC ally to ramp it up to very dangerous levels. Writers in both the Globe and Mail and National Post now pander to the Trump-haters in a very unhealthy way. Canada is becoming the Gaza of the North, where a very ugly hatred has taken hold

Rob Slimm's avatar

Good point. I compare Canada not just to Gaza of the North, but to the northern kingdom of Israel after King Solomon's rule. The southern kingdom wavered in its commitment to God, but the northern kingdom rejected God outright and suffered the consequences. Canada seems to be following the same path, forgetting and forsaking even its weak commitment to Biblical values.

I pray that Canadians wake up and realize that God is still sovereign.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

Amen to that. When Canada chose to back terrorists instead of victims, which its been doing for almost one hundred years, the demise of Canada was not an 'if', but when. When it betrayed God and God's chosen priesthood nation (not all are following God either), Canada made the biggest error of all. Betraying its own people is an act of self-destruction and self-betrayal.

John Leckie's avatar

Thanks . And Liz Truss learned the hard way.

First we need to accept …

and face up to Five Realities:

Acknowledging the Cold Truth …Focusing solely on stating the problems—without jumping into fixes. These realities cut through denial and force recognition of the harsh realities we are facing: 

1. Canada Lacks a True Investor Class: Our economy undervalues risk capital, stifling innovation and growth. Too much reliance on government subsidies and crony deals leaves us without bold entrepreneurs to drive real progress.

2. Cold War 2.0 with Communist China: We’re in a new era of geopolitical tension, where China’s expansionist ambitions—through trade dominance, military purges, and alliances like the 2022 Russia-China pact—threaten global stability and Canada’s interests in areas like the Arctic.

3 Debt Crises Gripping Western Nations: With debt-to-GDP ratios exceeding 100%, fiscal pressures limit spending on growth, infrastructure and defence. Unsustainable borrowing.

4.Converging Global Ideologies Fueling Division: Radical forces, including Islamists and far-left groups, are exploiting cultural silos, eroding shared values and promoting group rights over individual freedoms, as seen in policies that prioritize identity over unity.

5 Erosion of Canadian Sovereignty: Our independence is slipping away through overdependence on the US, EU-style bureaucratic overreach, and internal divisions, echoing George Grant’s warnings in Lament for a Nation 1965 about becoming a branch-plant economy.

This sets the stage: these are 5 undeniable facts we must face head-on before any talk of solutions…or HOW to fix.

Deborah L. Cook-Hunter's avatar

I have to add to your excellent list "The complicit media that parrots hate and lies about everything American" Brainwashing, propaganda, scape goating etc. whatever you want to call it and it's unbelievable to me Canadians have to subsidize it with their taxes! Crazy

Andrea McGurran's avatar

And the Communist infiltration of society through teachers, etc. Thanks for your excellent analysis!

Pat&Barb Hamilton's avatar

Trump has never been Canada's problem!!! carnage has, along with his msm (more shit media). If the liberals steal a majority govt. for Canada, say good bye to Alberta and I suspect Sask. With 3 more years of carnage there won't be a canada it will become a third world nation thanks to the illegal immigrants over the past 11 years and of course the msn (more shit media). Great job all you liberals, you deserve what's comming to you all !!!! pat

Andrea McGurran's avatar

We have been a fourth world nation all along. Quebec is looking to leave as well. Nunavut is considering it. Saskatchewan is already having meetings for independence, and Alberta is on its way. Canada's end is guaranteed because it was created to work just as it is now, self-destructing because its Confederation was set up to favor one side of the country over the other, and created under the guise of self-protection against a US invasion.

Shawn Harris's avatar

If you think about what the communist Liberals have done and are continuing to do to Canada and Canadians, you will see we are heading at a very high speed to the same end that Venezuela has come to; an impoverished broken nation with its citizens being forced to accept whatever their dictator says or does.

As in Venezuela and with Canada it all started when the public stopped using critical thinking reason and logic and trusted wholeheartedly in the lies of the Liberal communists in power.

There is hope for Canada and Canadians, that what the Liberals are doing now , trying vainly to hide their wickedness deceit and lies, will become the very powerful tool that stops and destroys the damage done. Eventually no matter the level of damage done, the publics eyes are opened when they that supported the Liberals are on the receiving end of the same destruction as those who opposed the Liberals. That time is near and when it happens, then the Liberals , like the 1993 Brian Mulroney conservatives, will be wiped out. Then the rebuilding of Canada can start.

Tracy Matts's avatar

I agree with the majority of your statement Shawn. But I don’t believe for one second that the liberal voter will suddenly stand up and recognize what their heroes are doing to our country. For that to happen all the low IQ voters would actually have to get some brains. They’ve had 3 elections since 2015 to recognize the damage as you and I both know it continues to worsen yet these people support Canadas destruction. A liberal voter is generally so stoo pid they think they’re smart. Which defines the problem, this type of person won’t get it until there’s no food, no heat and no lights. Then they might get where they’re at when we all have paid attention to history and know exactly what’s happening to our country with our eyes wide open. I wish I had your faith that these fools would realize what they’ve done while it’s salvageable but alas you can’t fix stoo pid.

Shawn Harris's avatar

You make a fair point, " you can't fix stupid", yet, even the stupid when punished enough, even though they think everything is fine, will look around and see the parallel between those who already suffered under the Communist Liberals and what they have been going through and will turn against the Liberals.

Like I said it has happened in the past, politically, 1984, Pierre Trudeau went from majority to less than 43 seats and the conservatives won 212 seats.

The parallel is the same corruption and wickedness and a hatred for the Liberals that even their diehard supporters couldn't stomach. And today its the same .

Only difference that keeps their eyes closed Liberal supporter voting Liberal is the bought and paid propagandist mainstream media, that denies and suppresses the truth.

Carney will call an election and that's when the end comes for the Liberals, 1993 all over again, only this time its the Liberals turn to go extinct, not the Conservatives.

Wm's avatar

Thank a good for nothing liberal

James McLean's avatar

I agree with everything you said here, Sue-Ann, but sadly, when a wise man argues with a fool, after a while it becomes hard to tell the difference. I've tried pointing out the blatant facts to some of my Liberal/NDP/Woke "friends" and it's only made me depressed. They feel self-satisfied in never losing a debate because they can always shout out Fake News!, Conspiracy Theory! and of course, Racist!, refusing all the while to address the facts. I'm really afraid this country is doomed. God knows, Canada had such promise.

Darrin Lauder's avatar

I know what you mean!

Significantly the 2000 minister of multiculturalism blamed and unjustly accused Christianity to be a problem for immigrants and thus subversive for the government. The judges of the Supreme Court said they didn't know who the God of the Preamble was. Yet Brian Peckford that last survivor does and it was a blatant denial of our founding fathers faith. Now the recent legislation proposed is moving to the Bible being hate literature! There is the problem. Lt. Col Redman said that in 1967 Canada was the envy of the nations and look what has happened to us when the 'gate keepers' have turned to treasonous ways and the PM adopting the globalist way of a 'Post-national' state to erase the identity founded upon the Supremacy of God and the rule of law, which was clearly Christian.

Andrea McGurran's avatar

But it began ever so slowly, well before 2000. It's just become so noticeable that only the stupid choose to ignore the dangers.

Dave Linton's avatar

I have been hoping someone with Sue-Ann's writing skills would finally "say it like it is". Thank you! I am absolutely dumbfounded and aghast that Canadian voters could vote an "empty suit" like JT in, not just once but three times! Then go on to elect the same bunch to run the country just because they have a new leader who can be made to sound good on paper.

Canada has had no reason to celebrate with Carney. Actually he scares the hell out of me. He's JT all over again but this time he has a brain...but sadly no ethics. Brookfield and Carney will use us as a "stepping stone" to get what they truly want...and I'm afraid to ask what that is,

Paul T.'s avatar

It would appear that most Canadians really are that stupid and have been indoctrinated by the extreme far-left Fascist and racist CBC, CTV, and Globe & Mail, etc. A guest who appeared on a radio show in Toronto just this weekend said; "Many Canadians aren't going to the states because of Trump, it's because they can't afford it." With a 40% exchange rate, I too decided not to head south at all this winter - the U.S. or elsewhere. WE allowed the Fascist Oligarchy in Ottawa to do this to us. WE allowed ourselves to be conned by the so called "Expert" Marx Con Carnage. The only thing he's done and is doing is to enrich himself and his friends. Canada's current situation is totally self-inflicted and those who don't agree truly are idiots. We have become the laughing stock of the world under the Bi-Wonder Trudeau and it continues under Carney.

Don Hrehirchek's avatar

I do not htink that most Canadians are that stupid or dumb. Many may be that , but those that do not vote , which I see as the majority are the smart ones in My opinion. How can One vote for the best of the worst? There are better systems of government in this world , but man kind being man kind does not like to give up power and prestige. Until these minds of people change , were are doomed for destruction. History is a great teacher, but the history that needs to taught in schools is not being taught. That is one problem that has to be changed . But then i could go on and on about changes and nothing will be done until this ship called canada is finally sunk and a new beginning starts . Just My view from My side of the ledger.

Bang on, my old friend..we tried..but the MSM/ CCP infestation for decades/ illegal, unprecedented "immigration" and Carney's Cabal has all but taken over..and they will finish off the US and Israel shortly..HOPEFULLY Trump will release the Kraken ..and wipe the slate clean,.. cuz the Ping-Pong led NWO won't be much fun..
