Canada was once a land of fishermen, lumberjacks, oil drillers and Mounties. What the Hell happened? In the Telegraph, Zoe Strimpel writes: “Canada is testing sinister wokeness to destruction.”
The madness of Trudeau’s Canada has reached a fresh, painful high. New rules have come into effect that allow adults in British Columbia – the capital of which is addict-packed, overdose-ravaged Vancouver – to possess 2.5g of ecstasy, cocaine or heroin, as well as the opioid fentanyl, without fear of being troubled by the police. The idea is that with so many shooting up and dying on the streets, the kindest and most helpful thing to do is decriminalise drug possession, ending arrests and prosecution as well as fines and confiscation.
As Kennedy Stewart, former mayor of Vancouver, proudly pointed out: “It gets the police out of the lives of drug users.”
*** Just as heroin has effectively been made legal on the streets of British Columbia, Canadians have been told not to have more than two alcoholic drinks per week – a drastic change from the previously recommended upper limit of around two drinks a day – because alcohol raises the risk of cancer and other diseases. So: a blind eye is turned to heroin on the streets, but a third glass of wine is frowned upon. As far as a philosophy of society goes, at least in 2023, this is a wacky mixture of the controlling and soulless with the callous and wilfully denialist.

Trudeau is 51. My guess is that he’ll rule Canada for the next 20-30 years.
Is the idea that the addicts will gradually die off as they OD? 2.5 grams of fentanyl... isn't that enough to kill you?
Same thing that is happening here. We are obeying the genocidal maniacs.
Canada is useful.
One of the greatest things to ever happen to the USA was when the Draft Dodgers fled north.
We should make it as easy as possible for the lefties to immigrated to their frozen paradise and leave the rest of us in peace.
Socialism is what happened to Canada.
“Trudeau is 51. My guess is that he’ll rule Canada for the next 20-30 years.”
That’s a sad, and valid point - unless Canada snaps out of it and gets red pilled.
not a lot of old junkies
keith richards being the exception
What happened to Canada? Same thing that happened to CA, NY, IL, NJ, CT...etc.
Trudeau is turning Canada over to the globalists and is implementing anything and everything that will destroy our way of life and our sovereignty.
Canada has pushed the MAID (medically assisted suicide) so much that we have rocketed to the top of the charts for organ donors. Trudeau is evil, and he made life such hell for the Trucker’s Freedom Convoy that many people don’t dare rise up again. The media has done its nasty job as well - with all of the support that our truckers received, the media now has most people believing Trudeau’s bullshit about the group.
Sadly, most people don’t look any further for news. Many heads in the sand up here.
They were close last year with the Truckers. There will probably be another crisis down the road. Next time they'll have to continue until Trudeau is forced from power. And that may happen because Trudeau is ruling like a dictator.
Canada is a very cold country, as such they should want all the warming they can get.
Maybe. But next time they know that they will have to go all the way until the Parliament forces out Trudeau.
The Communist NDP are the ones keeping Trudeau in power
I don’t wish him well.
That's enough to kill 1,000 people.
Once you accept the premise of liberalism, it is inevitable that you will go down all the way to your destruction.
