Modern politics

/in /by

It is official Canadian MPs are truly not able to do anything useful.  Last week NDP Member of Parliament Mathew Green was concerned that Canadians might not be aware that he is a fool.  Mathew quickly dispelled the rumor that he might be of average intelligence by bringing a motion forward to condemn Tucker Carlson for making a joke.  In the middle of an inflationary recession when unprecedented numbers of Canadians are “dying suddenly” this was the best thing Mathew could think of to occupy his time.

You cannot fix this level of stupid and I am not just speaking about Mathew Green.  People actually voted for this buffoon.  When something like this happens it is tempting to laugh it off but it really is not a laughing matter.  Just because Mathew is useless does not mean he is not dangerous.  Giving power to simpletons like Mathew is akin to giving a toddler a loaded gun.

Although these people may at times appear buffoonish, speaking and writing of “extraterrestrial” thoughts concerning a grandiose mission to save the world, they in many cases have real power, and, if the past three years have taught us anything, it is never to underestimate the potential of buffoons with power to wreck society as they tell us they’re saving the world.

Canada could survive if Mathew Green was an anomaly.  Sadly he is not.  The Trudeau government is stocked full of people just as clueless and ultimately dangerous as Mathew Green.  The clip below is the second most powerful politician in Canada advocating for socialism as she clearly describes why socialism always leads to poverty.

 

It would be difficult to explain the fundamental problem with socialist equality any better than Freeland just did.  It is impossible to make everyone equally rich.  You cannot lift everyone to the top but you can drag everyone to the bottom.  Socialism will always make everyone poor except the politicians.  Chrystia is so clueless she does not realize she just explained why no one should listen to her about anything.

Incredibly this clueless woman is Canada’s finance minister, which explains why Canada’s finances are such a mess.  Canada spent 389 million to quarantine people who were not sick, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.  The Trudeau liberals have spent hundreds of billions with little to nothing to show for it.

The consensus among many participants was that, after seven years in power and committing billions to supercluster programs and other initiatives including strategies for sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government had little to show for its efforts to unleash the economic potential of Canadian ingenuity.

It is generous to say that spending all this money was simply useless.  The truth is that this type of spending is destructive.  It wasn’t just that we did not create jobs we actually destroyed jobs.  Government has no income, Government grants to one industry always comes at the expense of another.

“The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.”

Adrian Rogers

When you take money from profitable industries you prevent them from growing and creating jobs.  Handing that money to politically connected businesses that ultimately go bankrupt does not create any jobs.  Socialist government redistribution of profits is not neutral, it always destroys jobs.

This is the world of modern politics; stupid people who think they are smart doing things they do not understand.  It wasn’t always this way.  There was a time when politicians understood the inherent danger of power in the wrong hands.  I encourage you to follow this link and listen to Ronald Reagan.

Compare that speech with what Freeland just said and you will understand just what an uphill battle Canadians face.  Ronald Reagan wanted to free Americans from the shackles of government so that they could pursue prosperity.  Chrystia Freeland wants to confiscate wealth and destroy prosperity; just not her own personal prosperity.

Sadly the US has also fallen far from the days of Ronald Reagan.  Chrystia would have no problems finding a home in American government but there are glimmers of hope.  The US might be down but they are not out.

 

Congressman Massie does not have Reagan’s eloquence but he does know tyranny when he sees it.
