During the 19th century European pioneers settling in Canada were given 100 acres of land to do with as they saw fit. Most took up farming on their new property. Since most areas in Upper Canada back then were heavily forested this meant these pioneers had chosen a harsh life. On average ten acres a year could be cleared of trees so the land could be farmed in the future. When not performing the back breaking labour of forest clearance the Upper Canadian pioneer, along with his family, was busy sowing and harvesting crops, tending to livestock, and often supplementing the family diet by hunting, fishing, and trapping.
In Lower Canada during the 1800's young farmers aspired to the life of a fur trading voyageur. This vocation involved spending most of the day paddling in a canoe, a task which had to be kept up for at least seven months of the year. When the paddling stopped the voyageur would then set up camp in a forbidding wilderness, often having to persevere through atrocious weather conditions. It was heavy work which required doing in sickness, or health. If a voyageur did take sick while travelling his fate often took on the equasion of recuperating while also still working, or die!
In the 19th century Maritime Canadians built some of the finest sailing ships on the planet. They also sailed those vessels, venturing into treacherous seas in search of prosperous fishing grounds, or seeking out whales and seals to slaughter, or transporting cargoe to and fro across the Atlantic Ocean. Often the merciless North Atlantic Seas would claim whole shiploads of sailors and travellers as it's victims. Nevertheless the hearty Maritimers did not hesitate to take up the seafaring life.
During the 1800's Western Canadian homesteaders endured through the bitterest of climates to put the stamp of agriculture on the land. Extreme cold, debillating heat, tornadoes, savage thunder storms, and gale force winds were part of a Westerners everyday life. Often isolated, even from neighbours, the Western Canadian Farmer would walk tens of miles carrying a 50lb. sack of grain to reach market. Unlike the rest of the Canadian nation the Western homesteader did not have a surplus of water readily availablre to him. Yet he succeeded under these adverse conditions to turn Canada into one of the World's breadbaskets!
Many other tales give voice to quiet Canadians triumphing over trying conditions in both peace, and war ( 2nd Battle of Ypes, Beaumont-Hamel, Vimy Ridge, Passenchdale, Dieppe, D-Day, Ortona, Liberation of Netherlands). These people kept to themselves, listened more than they spoke, tried to overcome their own fallibilities while respecting that other people had the same challenges. Blights on the nations character such as residential schools were performed by malevolent individuals who, when not operating clandestinely, misrepresented their actions to a trusting public. All told Canadians from the past made their country an impressive work in progress (a nation is always a work in progress).
Those people have been betrayed and that country no longer exists. Canadians have turned into the most sensitive, self righteous group of pathetic beings one could imagine. Witness the recent reaction of Canada's political leaders to the 51st state comments by U.S. President Donald Trump. Is there calm confident debate on the merits of Canada as a nation? Far from it. Ontario Premier Doug Ford screams nonsensically the America is trying to annihilate Ontario while Chrystie Freeland, running for Prime Minister of Canada, advocates the Canadian government ally with nuclear powers Britain and France to thwart a nonexistent United States invasion. (It is doubtful France and the United Kingdom would make common cause with Canada in such a venture).
When the U.S. places tariffs on Canadian made products imported into their country, an economic tactic employed by governments for many centuries, the British Columbia Provincial government moans that Canadians have been betrayed by their southern neighbours. Shamefully Canadians vent their spleen against hockey celebrity Wayne Gretsky, boycotting his businesses because he has a friendship with President Trump.
For the last ten years Canada has had a Prime Minister who alternated between fits of outrage on lifes imperfections on the one hand, and profusions of apology for all the wrongs of history, on the other. During Justin Trudeaus reign any criticism of medical mandates, some of the violent tenets within Islam, or the contradictions of Global Warming Advocates, was labelled as either malicious information, or hate speech. From these labels he progressed to making any of these observations outright illegal. This hyperbole and authoritarianism is antithetical to the history of a people who were admirable listeners.
In truth those noble listeners no longer exist. Nor does that Noble Canada draw breathe! A proud quiet people have been replaced wholesale by the importation on a mass migration scale of duped immigrants . Sadly these immigrants are given exaggerated promises of financial prosperity while being told they will not have to fulfill any meaningful expectations in return. Therefore they predictably commit nothing to the nation while screaming indignantly if their largesse is removed or some aspect of everyday Canadian life meets with their disapproval. They can afford to bellow. After all they are quickly being turned into the country's number one demographic group. It is admirable that natavist Canadians have not turned their ire against immigrants. After all immigrants are not to blame for the actions of the Canadian government. Arguably they have a grievance of their own on being mislead about the true state of the Canadian economy. Yet it is disgusting that Canadians have not vented their spleen against the nation's elected lawmakers.
With the demise of natavist Canada the decline of the country has inevitably followed. Noble Canada has gone forever. It will not return.
So what is to be done?
EMIGRATE!
Canadians are emigrating to other parts of the world in record numbers. We should continue to do so.
Political separation is another feasible tactic. If you live in a part of Canada that has been relatively untouched by the dystopian madness permeating from Ottawa then opt for political independence for your region (new nation).
Or become a prepper isolated away from the dregs of civilization!
Noble Canada is gone! You owe the present caricature of it not one ounce of loyalty. It is an immoral body undeserving of any fraction of your respect. Respect people, all people, even the one's who are your adversary, yet respect the lawmakers and the government they possess not at all. If enough of us take action and say finis to this disgraceful entity we will be able to benignly kick it into the dustbin of history.
