Have you heard the news today oh boy?
MAGA is here in Canada!
But is it true?
The best way to answer this is to look at the Liberal Party's own cozy relationship with the Democrat Party of the United States of America.
Through it, you see it's part conspiracy theory and all projection.
The Liberals have become gaslighting masters. Gaslighters, in case you haven't noticed, are not nice people. They're manipulative and vindictive. Why, some may say they're evil.
Alas, the point here is not to embark on this track as it's a daily routine for them at this point. One could easily put together a 30-m montage of all the examples of Liberal MPs engaging in gaslighting. Heck, they're flat out into flame-gas lighting now.
Dresden style.
No, let's just stick to the fact the party obviously taking its rhetorical cue from the DNC. This was apparent almost from the get-go in 2015.
Now, it's worth remembering that America's influence on our political culture and culture at large is nothing new. We've been importing American ideas and concepts almost from when this colony became an independent colony.
We could never quite figure out how to be and become Canadian. We just knew we inhabited a land called Canada but how to carve up a national identity betwixt the empires of the United States and Great Britain? Naturally, we looked to the American and British models. While in the end, Canada spurred the American model, it could not resist being intoxicated by many of its offerings. After all, we are neighbours sharing a land mass. Ideas flow more easily that way.
The dilemma reminded me of those Miller Lite commercials from the 80s where two sides who liked the beer argued that the best part of the beer was: Tastes Great! Less filling!
For example, the plight of our magazines always struggled to succeed against the influx of American publications that Canadians naturally gravitated to.
Our nationalism gives the impression of a shepherd always trying to herd its sheep back into being Canadians. 'Come now, Canadians. You don't want to be reading that American crap. Read Canadian crap!'
We were never bold and confident enough to just get it done. Always looking for approval from our bigger and more serious cousins. 'You do you, Canadians. Whatever makes you happy. Now get on with it, will ya?'
Low self-esteem is not a good trait.
Philosophy is another. We imported all that progressive reform stuff, Fabian and Frankfurt schools socialism as well as eugenics. Sometimes I get the feeling we took those on a little too, um, lustily.
MK Ultra in the 1950s was a CIA psy-ops run out of good old McGill University.
Our cherished social welfare apparatus is one imported from the United States too. It's the socialist idealism by way of the progressive era.
Very little of what we brag most about is actually Canadian in its origin.
Unless Canada was going to forge its own clear identity, it was always going to be an uphill battle with the U.S. lying there. On our border. Staring. We simply failed to invest in ourselves. When all was said and done, we chose to become a branch plant society and economy. We rode the American coat tails of prosperity right into the G7.
And for decades it worked.
Our prosperity and wealth were always below the U.S. but not too much.
Now?
We've decoupled and we're heading towards Venezuela territory. A bit hyperbolic but the trends aren't good.
So with all this being said, it was in the early 2000s that the Liberals continued the Canadian tradition of importing Americans to give them some helpful pointers in policy direction.
I seem to recall Al Gore coming to town to some Liberal establishment Laurentian elite shindig up in the Laurentians around that time.
The Chretien/Martin Liberals were flexing their anti-American muscles to show Canadian 'independence'. It was all theatre. A carefully crafted one that had been set up when an earlier group of liberals under Pearson and Massey in the 1960s tried to create a Canadian identity.
Their first order of the day. Design a new flag. The Maple Leaf was the best they could do. As an uncle obsessed, a tree that doesn't exist in the West was used to 'unify' the country.
No swords. Coat of arms. Or even a harpoon. Noting badass. Just a....maple leaf.
So Canadian.
Over the years American titans like Hilary Clinton, Larry Summers (who orchestrated, or at least laid the tracks for, the 2008 financial crisis) and Obama came to town to speak here.
All was fine there. There was no equivalence of MAGA back then. Liberals are too refined for slogans on caps. They do it the old-fashioned way. At Beaver Hall with whiskey and fine suits.
This is where Justin Trudeau was groomed by his groomers handlers. Trudeau didn't evolve naturally into a leader - he's not one - he was installed by the Laurentian Elite. That's why he's not going anywhere. It's not his call to make.
They're not done with him. They need more time to prep Net-Zero hound and stooge for the flappy-headed Canadian oligarch Mark Carney.
Sure. The CPC has sounded populist. Some of it is MAGA-inspired. Yes, they've been flirting with populists over in Europe. But nothing on the scale of what the Liberals have been up to for 100 years. As usual, Conservatives are stuck behind the ball reacting.
In the last few years alone it's evident the DNC and Liberals have been aligning and merging their narrative. Where Poilievre sounds like Trump the Liberals are all Maddow-Obama-MSNBC-Hilary-Gore with a good dose of The Squad led by the Marxist AOC in their messaging
So there you have it.
The choice isn't Conservative v. Liberal.
It's common sense populism versus woke Marxism as dictated by the United States.
Good luck.
