I read that tweet and can’t recall if I was part of your battery heat, but I agree completely with your assessments. I went to the Convoy, although I’m ashamed to say, only for the day Feb 12, on my way across the country to visit my daughter in BC. God bless its stalwart leaders who are STILL being denied due legal process. I marched the little last leg to the Cenotaph with James Topp.and marvelled at the sheer physical and mental strength he displayed as I hobbled around on blistered feet for a week after doing only 20 klicks. Finally I feel I can wear my resulting T-shirts with all the defiant political content, without wondering if someone brainwashed sheep will clobber me about my ‘unacceptable views’. These days even an Air Canada stewardess took time to praise one. It’s been a long slow slog but maybe, finally, the sheep are beginning to see the wolves in their midst.
Quite a 'Pulse of the Province' article Alexander. It paints a dystopian picture of life in Ontario these days. I see some of this even in the relative 'utopia' of mid-western Ontario.
Keep it up. Better days are coming. If one can believe to latest polls Poilievre, and the CPC, will absolutely destroy the Lieberals, and the Non-Democratic Party, in the next election.
Fiery. Unfortunately things have be become absolutely TERRIBLE before most Torontonians consider voting other than red or yellow. Because they won't want soldiers on the streets with GUNS!!!..wait...whattt????
Given the amount of time yet to pass before Canadians have an opportunity to cast their most meaningful ballot in decades, one has to hope that the subject comms brain trust remains as effective as it has been. In the meantime, my head shall be lowered as I meander my neighbourhood - on the look out for petrified poo.
That about says it all, Alexander...Well stated. My family and I pray daily for a way out of this insanity, and are counting the days until we can have a say in it.
It also surprises me (and I thought I had moved past ‘surprise’) just how blind to government corruption and unwilling to do anything about it (other than profit from it, sadly) too many segments of our population are. Of course, with immigration ‘officially’ set at half a million annually and the real number likely double that, what with people on ‘student’ visas ‘disappearing’ and more just walking in, and all of those coming from places where corruption is baked in at every level-what do we expect? Cynical Lib ploy, these policies, quite deliberate. Meanwhile our own youth (and not-so-young) prefer to stay stoned taking government handouts and will not work. It no longer makes sense to tolerate the climate here because of some mistaken cherished beliefs in our ‘superior’ social structures. We’re just as corrupt as everywhere else in the world; why not take my economic contribution somewhere warm? And this coming from a daughter of loyalists and other pioneers. I’m looking at Costa Rica.

We are all THAT mother.
Yup. Your article sums the current state of affairs in this country quite nicely.
