Canadians made a choice, and it is a bad one—that's on them

Playing the blame game might be appealing, but at the end of the day we need to accept that Canadians voted the Liberals back into power. Now what?

For once, the polls were right. The Liberal Party, dead in the water just a few months ago, managed to make a shocking return to popularity, thanks not to Trump, but to the stupidity and blind stubbornness of far too many Canadians.

Unfortunately, even many of those who opposed the Liberal government and its ongoing authoritarianism and destruction of the Canadian economy cannot bring themselves to face the truth about this election: Canada did this to itself.

Over the past decade, the Liberal Party has thoroughly destroyed the Canadian economy, creating inflation so high that people can’t afford groceries, rent, or gas. Rather than focus on keeping Canadian cities safe, they let addicts take over the streets, ensuring crime and human excrement ran rampant. They hyperfocused on climate change and nonsense “solutions” to a dire threat that was not. They passed legislation ensuring the government could control what Canadians see online, making their propaganda machine evermore powerful and are now very likely to bring back their Bill C-63, which will see Canadians dragged through human rights tribunals for daring to dissent online. They passed a bill nullifying women’s sex-based rights, with next to no push back because the same oh-so-feminist Canadians who imagine Trump to be the harbinger of the Handmaid’s Tale would rather force female inmates to share cells with rapists and see thousands of youth sterilized than admit that men aren’t women, lest their Facebook friends yell at them. They invoked the Emergencies Act illegally in order to take away our Charter rights, only returned to us on account of the brave working class freedom fighters known as the Trucker Convoy—the very same people Liberal voters still tell themselves are dangerous extremists, because “honking.” They then whipped up an imaginary threat in Trump, ensuring millions of Canadians forgot all that had happened over years of Liberal rule, and instead pointed their pale, bony elbows across the border.

The “elbows up” crowd, relishing in the opportunity to play “tough guy” for once in their lives, are the same people who hid in their homes with their masks on, getting boosted up with a “vaccine” that did nothing to protect anyone and in fact was more dangerous than the virus itself. They are pensioned boomers, comfy in the homes younger generations will never be able to afford, and government workers, sucking comfortably on the Liberal teet until they too can retire and die a slow, boring death from their couches, knowing they contributed nothing to the world beyond paper pushing. Those are your tax dollars those brave warriors are receiving while working their desk jobs from home, maybe a couple hours a day, by the way. The cycle of non-life continues.

I’ve seen countless posts, not only from Canadians who voted Conservative, but from Americans as well, blaming Trump for Mark Carney’s win. He should never have joked about the 51st state, they said. Those tariffs were mean, they said. Had Trump played nice, Pierre Poilievre could have coasted into power unchallenged, they said. But Trump’s 51st state troll was not real, his tariffs were not an attack on the Canadian economy, and the fact that the Liberal party took this as an opportunity to fear-monger Canadians, and that it worked, is not Trump’s fault—it’s the fault of Canadians.

Trump can do whatever he wants. He is not the president of Canada. He is doing what is best for America. Canada should do the same. Instead, Canadians are obsessing over a country and leader that is not theirs, specifically in order to avoid dealing with the problems created by the very government they just reelected. It is not Trump’s fault that Canadians refuse to see what’s in front of their own faces and are so easily played by politicians who think they are too stupid to catch on.

Canadians voted for this. Over and over again. They voted Liberal before Trump came along, they voted Liberal when Trudeau locked them down, and now they’ve voted Liberal again, apparently consenting to a non-future in what was once a truly wonderful country.

No more excuses. Canada and Canadians have done this to themselves. And if they don’t want change, they won’t get change.

I am very sorry to everyone who desperately wants and needs a revolution in this country, who are now stuck among people who don’t care about truth, freedom, and autonomy, with a government ready to force everyone onto the dole and import millions more immigrants to work those service and labour jobs instead, for much cheaper, plugging the rest of you into virtual life support (provided you don’t ruin your social credit score) until your MAID appointment opens up. I am sorry that clueless elites care more about the imaginary graves of Indigenous children than they do about their neighbours who are struggling to survive. I am sorry that urban progressives have no desire to understand or know people who exist outside their very limited circles. I’m sorry that so many Canadians’ brains have been so thoroughly washed that they believe thinking for yourself makes you a conspiracy theorist or an extremist, despite the fact they themselves are endlessly invested in insane conspiracy theories about Elon Musk being a nazi and terrorism against men who want to take their dicks out in the girls’ change room. I’m sorry that you live in a country full of people who don’t really care about one another but claim to be the nicest of the nice guys.

A hard truth we have to accept is that this was a democratic vote, and a lot of people chose, of their own accord, to vote Liberal. They voted against free speech, bodily autonomy, farmers, safe cities, affordable eggs, women’s sex-based rights, and truth in reporting. They chose (apologies for the cliche, but it’s apt) the blue pill.

Now, you have to make a choice. It may not be an easy one, but so choices go. Do you want to stay in a country full of people who prefer lies over the truth and who want the government to make every decision for them including when they die? You could stay. You could stay and fight, or stay and check out, or stay and try to build a community of people who share your values. Or you could leave and find a better, more joyful, fulfilling, free life outside of Canada. None of these options are easy, I know. My point is that many Canadians made a choice, and now you need to make one as well. Playing the blame game offers little in terms of solutions for your own sovereignty and personal happiness. I’m not suggesting giving up, but I am suggesting that being miserable in Canada, stuck with a bunch of deluded, smug, elitists may not be how you wish to spend the rest of your life. I’ve personally managed to both fight and live a happy, balanced, fulfilling life, so would like to offer myself as an example of what’s possible, if you are up for the challenge. I’m also not suggesting you don’t stay and either fight or make the best of things. I am suggesting there still are choices, and just because others have made a poor choice doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

Life is precious and beautiful—don’t give up.
