A Stranger in a Strange Land
I find it very difficult to be Canadian. I am a very square peg in a very round Canadian hole. The average Canadian does not like to think. They prefer to let the media and government do their thinking for them. I can’t do that. My brain is just not wired that way. I can’t not think.
My inability to turn off logic and reason makes me a very poor Canadian. Instead of accepting the government as some divine arbiter of truth I think about what the government does and tells me. That is always frustrating because thinking never leads me where the government wants me to go.
Take for instance the recent government decision to seal vaccine injury records for 15 years. Hiding data should upset people. But it will not upset the average Canadian because the average Canadian will readily accept the government’s justification for keeping them in the dark. According to the government the truth is just too much work.
Health Canada has locked away internal reports on vaccine and drug injuries for up to 15 years, citing the sheer scale of the records involved, according to documents tabled in Parliament.
You see this is where not being intellectually docile, also known as being Canadian, always gets me cross threaded with my government. I would not have come to this conclusion at all. Call me unCanadian, but I don’t think having thousands of documents detailing vaccine injuries is a good reason to avoid discussing vaccine injuries.
Not only do I make a very poor Canadian I would make a horrible Canadian government employee. I am very certain I would never conclude that saving lives was simply too much work. It also doesn’t seem to be a very good idea to hide data on vaccine injuries while the public is still being “encouraged” to take the same damn vaccines that caused all the injuries. But I guess that is just me.
I was born here but I somehow, I am a stranger in a strange land. Maybe Justin Trudeau is right. People who just arrived on the boat yesterday might just be more Canadian than me.
