How Trudeau Will Kill Canada

 

Jordan Peterson points out that Justin Trudeau is a narcissist. This is dangerous, because he is about to lose power. What does a narcissist do if he is rejected? Narcissistic rage. He will try to destroy those who have rejected him. This is the impulse that gives us mass shooters. Trudeau has no love for Canada. On leaving office, he is likely to do whatever is in his power to destroy Canada, for letting him down.

We saw Hitler do this, ordering the destruction of German infrastructure in his final days, rather than letting it fall to the Allies. Orders fortunately countermanded by Speer.

Biden is also an extreme narcissist. This is why he sabotaged Kamala Harris’s campaign in subtle ways; why he sabotaged the Democratic Party by pardoning his son. They let him down. Now he is releasing long-range missiles to Ukraine. We must fear what else he might be up to; especially since he has the nuclear codes. But the US president is fortunately relatively restrained in what he can do unilaterally. 

Trudeau, as Canadian Prime Minister, unfortunately, has more unilateral power and fewer constraints. The Liberal Party’s rules prevent MPs from rising against him. He can do more damage than Biden can. He has already pushed through some outrageous legislation. We must fear what he may do in the almost one year he has left, if he grasps that he is inevitably going to lose the net election.

Investment in Canada has been in decline ever since he took power in 2015.The Canadian economy does not look that bad yet, but I suspect that it has been running on prior reputation and fumes. That can go on for a while, and then there is a general collapse. We already have a homelessness crisis, a medical crisis, a drug crisis, and a cost of living crisis. And a foreign affairs crisis, Trudeau having alienated many trading partners. Even without Trump’s 25% tariffs, things could get worse quickly. I now think Trump genuinely intends to impose the tariffs. And Trudeau may be doing his best to speed the general collapse. He wants it. Canada has failed him.

Jordan Peterson fears that by the time Poilievre gets into power next October or before, the damage may be too great to repair. He will just be left holding the bag. 

We may be begging the US to come in and take over.

Something similar happened to Scotland in 1707: economic hardship and poor management obliged them to unite with England, in return for debt relief. Similar financial problems convinced Newfoundland to join Canada in 1947. 

Why would the US want us?

Canada’s natural resources, including important strategic materials, make it a good investment.

But more critically, in this age of easy transportation and mass migration, the world’s longest undefended border has become untenable. It is possible to build a wall across the US-Mexico border. The Canada-US border is too long for that, and needs to remain porous to sustain the current volume of trade. 

The only solution to that problem is to ensure that Canadian and US immigration and border policy is the same: undesirables must be stopped on entry to Canada, as they cannot be stopped at the US border.

This means the US border must encompass Canada. 

Trump may have seen this, and the 25% tariff may be intended to force the issue.

Let’s just hope it happens without too much suffering, dislocation, or blood.
