A Square Peg in Canada

In the next few months, I am hoping to rebrand this blog.  A friend chose the name “The Truth About Covid” because at the time the blog was 100% about exposing government Covid lies.  I did not realize it at the time, but that name was always problematic.  Anything with Covid in the title was just too easy to censor.  But that is not all that is driving the re-branding.  My blog was never 100% about Covid and although, at least for me, Covid will always be an issue it is time for a name that more accurately reflects the content of the blog.

There are of course infinite choices for names but if I were to choose a single topic name again, I might choose “Why You Can’t Fix Canada”.  Or perhaps “Canadians Just don’t Care”.  The blog really has been centered around problems caused by some combination of government malice and stupidity.  Two things that Canada has in seemingly greater quantities than any other country.  But the root of the problem is not that Canadian politicians are just as evil as politicians elsewhere.  It is that Canadians don’t care.

That is where I found myself again this morning.  Shaking my head in disbelief at my countrymen.  Canada is a mess and Canadians don’t care enough to get angry with the politicians who caused the mess.  We let them blame everything on some outside influence like nothing that happens inside our borders can be controlled.  Canada has had a housing crisis that has been building for years but our housing minister stood up in parliament and blamed it on a war that started 2 weeks ago.

No one in Canada cared that he was lying or that such a clumsy lie showed his absolute contempt for Canadians.  Gregor Robinson believes Canadians are stupid enough to believe a war we are not even part of caused high house prices in Canada.  Sadly, he has no reason to believe otherwise.  I mean what else would you think about people who believe dying on a waiting list or in an emergency room is preferable to surviving because surviving might cost money but dying is “free”.  That is of course only if you ignore all the taxes, you paid only to be denied service when you show up at our “free” hospital.

In a new commentary, Chochinov and his co-authors warn needless, avoidable deaths are recurring “with unsettling regularity, not randomly, not rarely,” in Canada’s hospitals, a function of choked and overwhelmed emergency departments.

An estimated 8,000 to 15,000 Canadians are dying unnecessarily each year due to emergency department crowding, according to one analysis extrapolated from U.K. data.

It is not 100% accurate to say Canada is not part of the Iran war because a couple days ago Iran attacked a Canadian base in Kuwait.  Most Canadians won’t know this because it was not reported in the Canadian media.  It was leaked on X, the only media platform in Canada that the government does not exert any control over. But it doesn’t matter anyway because Canadians just don’t care that Canadian troops were attacked by Iran.  They don’t even care that Canadian media takes money from the Canadian government to ignore anything the government might find embarrassing.  The worst offender being our public broadcaster, which has a list of topics and people that are not to be covered.

Dhanraj, who previously hosted the CBC News Channel program Canada Tonight, told MPs he was warned against interviewing Conservative politicians, including leader Pierre Poilievre.

“I basically wasn’t allowed to pick up the phone and talk to Conservatives,” he said.

Canadians are dying waiting to see doctors, being attacked by foreign militaries, and are intentionally left in the dark by media that is in bed with the government.  In some countries the people would be very upset by all of that, but not Canada.  Canadians just don’t care and that is what makes it so easy for Canadian governments to do some really disgusting things.  Things like importing millions of Indian citizens to vote liberal and force Canadian citizens into poverty.

CALGARY — While Statistics Canada released new data on Friday that Canada’s economy lost 83,900 jobs in February, Employment and Social Development Canada announced changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFW), drawing consternation from many observers.

In a news release, the federal ministry said rural employers will be permitted to “retain their current number of low-wage temporary foreign workers and temporarily increase the share of low-wage temporary foreign workers from 10% to 15% of their workforce” at a province’s request.

Unemployment is rising in Canada.  The government’s solution is to push temporary workers the country does not need into rural areas to spread unemployment evenly between rural and urban areas.  If it were up to me, I would shut off the taps pouring people into Canada from the Punjab.  But as you might have noticed I am a very poor Canadian.  I think and I care.  You can’t get any more unCanadian than that.

Maybe the new blog name should be “A Square Peg in Canada”?
