You just need to have a dictator like Trudeau in power for a decade, censorship, and your living standards cut reduced by forty percent and you will get your wish.

In other words, careful what I wish for.

Precisely.

Conrad Black wrote this in the National Post.

By the principal yardstick of performance: comparative per capita income, Canada has tumbled from approximately 85 per cent of the standard of living of the United States, the most prosperous of the large national economies, to about 60 per cent.

Canada has suffered severe net outflows of capital throughout the Trudeau years, dangerous accretions in the federal deficit, and an unsustainable increase in the number of public sector employees to more than ten percent of the entire population.

It is good that the Canadian population has now passed 40 million, but this has not been accompanied by an adequately increased provision of housing and Canadians of modest incomes have suffered severe increases in the cost of shelter and other necessities and their rightful protestations have too often been falsely dismissed as racially biased.

Almost the entire Trudeau policy focus has been in three areas.


1. There has been an insane exaggeration of what is actually known about climate change, leading to a self-destructive war on the oil and gas industries, and needless increases in the cost of living in pursuit of a will o' the wisp of fossil fuel use.

2. The government's ambition for reconciliation with Indigenous peoples is commendable but the $5.7 billion that has been pledged to reparations is excessive and much of it has been unwise, as well as unjustified. There is still no comprehensive policy to improve the lives of Indigenous people, but in its self-flagellating effusion, the regime accepted that Canada is a genocidal country alongside Nazi Germany, the Turks in Armenia, Pol Pot's Kampuchea, and Rwanda.

This is a blood libel on all English and French Canadians.

3. And there has been a nonsensical obsession with matters of gender which has made us an international laughing stock and driven our most distinguished citizen, Jordan Peterson, out of the country.

Everything is slathered in nauseating wokeism and the federal government has done absolutely nothing to protect the suppressed rights of English-speaking people in Quebec.
