Only in Canada you say

Anyone who reads this blog knows that I am no fan of mainstream media and I have a particular disdain for Canadian Media.  Canadian Media as a whole are obedient lap dogs for Liberal politicians and in Canada there is nothing liberal about a Liberal politician.  But, in moments of weakness I will give credit where credit is due.  This Column in a major Canadian publication hits the nail directly on the head.  I have never read a better description of Canadians than what Douglas Murray gives in this opinion piece.

The world — especially America — has looked on in horror as the Canadian government has tried to curtail speech in the country, and looked on with ever-more horror as Canadians seem willing to go along with this. 

But it isn’t just double-standards, or the grotesque politicization of almost every institution in Canada that now catches the eye of the world. It is, as I mentioned at the start, the unbearable stupidity which seems to have trickled down from the top of government downwards.

These are the sort of consequences you get from a society wallowing in unutterable ignorance.

Canadians are not just willfully ignorant they are joyfully, arrogantly, ignorant.  Douglas Murray recognizes this largely because he is not Canadian.  He is a British citizen writing for a Canadian publication.

Canada is an oddly isolated country.  Our isolation comes from the fact that we border only one country which we are taught is inferior to us.  That is a little odd when you consider that the United States is the most powerful country on earth but Canadians are always eager to accept things without evidence.  Once, years ago, I was at a party when a typically deluded Canadian stated that Canadians are better than Americans.  You hear this a lot from Canadians and usually I choose to ignore it but this time I asked one simple question for clarification.  I asked “by what measure”?

How do you back up such a definitive statement?  Do Canadians enjoy a higher standard of living?  Are we more charitable?  Of course I never got an answer because she had never given it any thought.  She just accepted without evidence that Canadians are somehow superior to Americans.  Canada is not isolated by closed borders it is isolated by closed minds.

This odd geographical and intellectual isolation makes Canadians very malleable and susceptible to extreme levels of stupidity.  Canadians accept stupidity from our institutions because we simply do not think.  This has allowed progressive morons to infest and ruin important institutions with no public opposition, despite the fact that the dumbing down of our institutions has negatively impacted the lives of every Canadian.

The Dumbing down of our institutions has been most evident in Parliament and the bank of Canada.  The bank of Canada is supposed to control the money supply and be a watchdog over the economy.  Below is their mission statement from their website.

The Bank of Canada is the nation’s central bank. Our main role is “to promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada,” as defined in the Bank of Canada Act.

That is a very lofty mission statement for an organization that does not employ anyone who understands economics.  Recently the deputy governor, Nicholas Vincent, admitted he is just discovered a link between escalating prices and inflation.

Vincent says these recent discoveries about the affect pricing behaviour may be having on inflation is leading the Bank of Canada to question the relationship between inflation and its drivers.

So an executive of the bank of Canada has finally linked rising prices to inflation but he is still foggy as to what causes rising prices.  In fact he was surprised to find out that when business costs go up companies increase their prices rather than lose money.

Recent research from the central bank shows price increases have mirrored the cost increases businesses have faced, but Vincent notes that even stable profit margins would mean customers are carrying the entire burden of higher prices.

The dumbing down of Canada has been happening for long enough that our most important institutions are run by imbeciles who believe economies run on pixie dust.  This could only happen in a country full of Canadians.  The scariest part about this is that we may not have reached peak stupidity yet.
