Kiev or Ottawa?
Canada was “woke” before the Term was even coined which is to say Canada is the most stupid country on earth. And it shows. Everything our government touches turns to shit. Our newest vote buying social program is 50% over budget and provides care for almost no one.
Ottawa’s national dental program is chewing through far more cash than expected, with federal officials admitting the scheme is now on track to cost 50% more than budgeted as millions of Canadians rush to book long-delayed appointments.
It should come as a surprise to no one that a government run dental program is failing because our government run health care system has already failed. Government incompetence escalated costs so quickly that governments have decided it would be best just to withhold services. Which is a good way to save money but not a particularly good way to save lives.
The report from public policy think tank SecondStreet.org revealed that at least 23,746 patients died in Canada while waiting for surgeries or diagnostic procedures between April 2024 and March 2025.
Canada is a failed state, and the evidence is everywhere. We do not have a single economic or social indicator moving in the right direction.
The outcome is the economy Canadians now face. Investment has fled. Productivity has fallen. The cost of living is rising. Debt is growing. The welfare state has expanded faster than national income. None of this was inevitable. It is the product of choices, institutions, and leaders. Canada can recover what it lost, but not until it recovers the one thing that sustained its greatest successes: a governing class chosen for competence rather than conformity.
On paper Canada has everything it needs to be successful except the most important thing, good governance. I can’t think of a single problem Canada faces that was not caused by some combination of government incompetence and malfeasance. So of course, in keeping with Canadian traditions, Canadians have passively decided to fix problems caused by government by allowing the government to apply more government.
He noted that government jobs have expanded at an average rate of 2.7 percent annually, in contrast to the 1.7 percent growth rate observed in the private sector. Meanwhile, public sector employment as a share of total employment has grown from 19.7 percent in 2015 to 21.5 percent in 2024.
If Canada was a business, it would be used as a case study by business schools as what not to do. The Canadian government is an inefficient behemoth that is capable of only one thing. Canada is very good at giving away money it does not have to corrupt foreign governments.
OTTAWA – The government is pledging another $235 million in funding for Ukraine, with National Defence Minister David McGuinty and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announcing Canada’s latest commitments.
The entire Ukrainian government is under investigation for corruption. Many of the senior officials have already fled Ukraine and are now living comfortably in mansions we helped pay for. Before the war Ukraine was widely recognized as the most corrupt country in Europe. Yet that did not stop Canada from sending billions without oversite or audit. Now the corruption is so bad the media can no longer ignore it, and Canada is still sending money.
I know the Canadian government can be callous. They don’t care that waiting lists kill 23,000 Canadians per year. But can the Canadian government be this stupid? Feeding money to a corrupt foreign government is a bad idea even by Canadian standards. Continuing to feed Zelensky’s corruption/money laundering/kickback machine makes me wonder. Which city has more corruption, Kiev or Ottawa?
