| Canada is over |
| 2015-10-24 |
| THEO CALDWELL REBEL COMMENTATOR Nice little country we used to have. For right-thinking Canadians, election night was about as cheerful as the Red Wedding. Now, as we enter the reign of Justin, First of his Name, we must confront a painful reality: Canada is finished. This is not merely a political truth. Culture trumps politics. There is no question a hollow, misguided leader can cause tremendous damage, particularly in Canada where a prime minister with a majority has near-dictatorial power. What is much more important, however, is what it says about a people that they would elect such a leader in the first place. In an election night musing, CBC’s Peter Mansbridge recalled prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau saying he is always underestimated. People didn’t underestimate Justin, they overestimated Canadians – specifically, the capacity of the nation’s electorate to know a dimwit when they see one. I have previously written that Justin is Canada’s Barack Obama. This is true not only inasmuch as both are embarrassing ciphers, but the election of each of these men heralds the end of once-great nations. To understand this is to comprehend that America, too, is over. Under Obama, America has taken on more debt than any entity in global history. Nearly 100 million Americans no longer work, and an increasing number of citizens see this as normal. Internationally, Obama has abdicated the role of leader of the free world on behalf of future presidents. Culturally, too, the nation is perpetually honked off, divided, and dumb as hell. Again, Obama cannot be blamed for all this, but he both reflects and exacerbates the condition. Furthermore, electing such a person ratifies political correctness as national policy. Some have said that racism in America was almost dead until Obama. This is one of those notions that could never find purchase in mainstream discussion. Racism as a concept, business model and organizing principle is alive and well, even as it has been crushed at the individual level. Socialists love people in groups of a million or more so, while no decent person would behave as or associate with a “racist,” it is constantly claimed that “racism” is everywhere. Neither you, gentle reader, nor anyone you socialize with would dream of overtly deriding or excluding someone because of their sex or skin colour. And yet your school, places of employment and worship, your local media outlets and your government do just that as a matter of course. Certainly, they do so in opposite terms from what we are conditioned to expect – that is, they reverse the targets of bigotry from those portrayed in movies, on TV and in the New York Times – but they are perfectly at ease limiting the number and influence of a particular race (if that race is white, or in the case of college admissions, Asian), and they are utterly unembarrassed to afford special privileges and less demanding standards to races they prefer. Thus, since 2008, we have been bombarded by the nonsensical insistence that Obama became president despite his race when everyone, with the possible exception of Obama himself, knows he was elected because of it. In Canada, it is more often gender than race that raises leftist hackles, and Prime Minister Justin promises to continue the Liberal Party policy of set-asides for women. Taken to its logical conclusion, this would suggest Justin himself should have eschewed the leadership in favour of some distaff colleague, but this disregards a crucial caveat: If you are a wealthy, white, male scion of a political dynasty, and a leftist, you basically have to kill someone to be barred from national office. This is but one, small instance whereby objective governance will be replaced by political correctness which, as many have observed, is merely totalitarianism masquerading as politeness.

| #5 No, I don't think killing someone would be enough. The Left has an infinite amount of forgiveness for criminals. But only if their victims are of course the "right" people. Ñot to say JT is a murderer. But he and his ilk will be quite willing to murder a nation so as to not offend their political friends and allies. I hate to say this but maybe the time has come to make "The Nine Nations of North America" a reality as peacefully as possible. |

| #4 Not idiots so much as ones of diluted and surrendered character. For some it is no longer necessary. "Isolation is the space in which I exist. But I am provided light through an Idea, an idea that defines me not as an individual in the infinite but as a part of a whole." - Yiota |

| #3 Welcome to the oligarchy. They seem puzzled that the round peg doesn't fit in the square hole. At least your brethren to the south are armed to the teeth. Makes the new masters a little hesitant in quickly and openly subjugating them. |
