Socialism and the Trudeau Era
Unmasking the Impact of Socialism and Globalist Influence on Canada
Introduction:
The rise of socialism and its influence on Canadian politics, particularly during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's tenure from 2015 to the present, has sparked valid concerns among many citizens. With the growing presence and impact of globalist organizations like the World Economic Forum(WEF) and influential individuals such as billionaire George Soros, there is a widespread perception that Canada's democratic values and national priorities are increasingly being shaped by unaccountable external forces rather than the will of Canadians themselves.
In a well-researched article titled George Soros casts a long shadow across Canada (Part 4)[1] published on July 31, 2020, government relations advisor and writer Chris George of CG&A Communications provides valuable insights into the significant presence and impact of George Soros in influencing Canadian policy decisions. Drawing from his extensive experience in public relations, government affairs, and electoral campaign strategy, Chris George offers a nuanced perspective on how transnational figures like Soros have facilitated the rise of socialism in Canada and its consequences. This essay will examine the inherent dangers of socialism, analyze specific policies enacted under Trudeau's leadership, and incorporate Chris George's perspectives on the influence of George Soros.
I. The Threat of Socialism:
Socialism poses substantial risks if not balanced with principles of individual liberty, free enterprise, and fiscal responsibility.
A. Erosion of Individual Liberties:
By consolidating power and promoting growing dependence on the government, socialism tends to undermine personal freedoms, a core Canadian value. It risks reducing citizens to subjects of government control over many aspects of their lives rather than empowered individuals.
B. Economic Consequences:
Excessive regulations, high taxes, and large government spending characteristic of socialist systems can discourage business investment, job creation, and innovation. If left unchecked, these policies threaten to stifle economic growth and prosperity over the long run as seen in other nations.
C. Dependence on the State:
Rather than encouraging self-reliance, personal initiative and responsibility, socialism fosters a culture of reliance on state support and entitlements. This gradually diminishes individual motivation and weakens the social fabric of communities as emphasized by Spencer Fernando[2] in examining the impacts of Trudeau's agenda.
II. The Trudeau Era:
A. Globalist Influence:
As highlighted in Chris George's article, the Liberal government under Trudeau has aligned many policy priorities with globalist organizations like the WEF and figures such as George Soros who have significant influence. For example, Soros played a key role in the Liberal election victory and shaping of policies since 2015. However, global agendas do not always align with or respect Canadian values and sovereignty as suggested in Klaus Schwab's statement about penetrating cabinets.
This video clip from @bacontrees provides a compelling insight into the intentions and strategies employed by globalist figures, further emphasizing the need for critical examination of their influence on our country's governance.
B. Deficit Spending and Debt:
Trudeau has pursued deficit financing on a massive scale, adding over $80 billion in new national debt by 2020 alone. This unsustainable path jeopardizes Canada's fiscal health and flexibility to address future challenges according to many analysts.
C. Identity Politics over Unity:
The Liberal's heavy emphasis on social justice issues and identity politics is accused of exacerbating divisions in Canadian society rather than fostering the unity once promised, as reported by the National Post.[3].
III. Awakening Canadian Consciousness:
To counter the above threats and reclaim democratic control, Canadians must:
A. Develop Critical Thinking:
Seek diverse views, question dominant narratives and think independently.
B. Engage Civically:
Participate actively through open debate, contact with MPs, and voting to influence decisions shaping the nation.
C. Promote Canadian Values:
Embrace the principles of individual freedom, personal responsibility and democratic process that make Canada a great country.
Conclusion:
By cultivating awareness of concerning influences like socialism and globalism, and strengthening Canadian values and civic engagement, citizens can help ensure a prosperous, cohesive and sovereign nation for future generations guided by our proud democratic heritage.
