Pre-order at Sutherland House;
A shocking, darkly hilarious exploration of how Canada, a country once admired for its stability and moderation, became a global cautionary tale.
Drawing from real headlines, deep research, and extensive interviews, acclaimed journalist Tristin Hopper uncovers the bizarre missteps and policy experiments that have helped Canada set new global standards for disfunction. The examples are legion: the real estate bubble that never bursts, Orwellian internet regulations, harm reduction policies that escalate harm, official health guidelines that recommended the use of glory holes in a pandemic, and a runaway euthanasia system that inspired the Wall Street Journal to declare, “Welcome to Canada, the Doctor Will Kill You Now.”
Every page should just be written over and over and over again: “Canadian Liberalism is a mental illness”.
I just listened to Michael Savage on the Alex Jones Show. I have listened to Michael Savage for years but eventually had to stop because the true picture of the future he painted for us was too bleak for my brain to digest. He would make that reference continuously, and when I was younger, I didn’t understand. I do now.
I hope Trump can pull the US out of this crash. After seeing the polls this morning where Carney is almost up by double digits, I don’t see hope for Canada. I see a South African future. I can’t believe it’s going to all be destroyed.
Hint.
Don’t follow the “polls”. They are rigged, save for a couple indy outfits.
They are all on the government payroll, having received millions in recent years from government for “work”.
Deep dives on their data show oversampling Liberals and seniors while undertaking the west.
Cooking books.
… dyslexic euthanasia enthusiasts
it is but Canadians are prepared to give these idiots another four years to finish the destruction
It seems that the game plan is to reduce Kanaduh to a festering, failed state, in order to then infect the Untidy States.
Now; who might do such a thing a and who may be the actual beneficiaries.
Asking from the Penal Colonies.
But, but, the world needs more Canada, no?
I’m going to {sort of} steal that for a new post title.
No Canada
Branding / sloganeering for the dissolution of confederacy. I’m not using it so feel free.
The world needs more Canadian fentanyl
With your usual brilliance.
The majority of people who live in the geographic region called Canada (no such thing as a Canadian anymore according to Liberals), are politically and fiscally illiterate.
Tristan Hooper is pretty good. His writing is solid, but somewhat light-hearted at the same time. I suspect he would use more vinegar and snark if the National Post let him. Maybe his book will display this.
He got radicalized in a good way after the Israel attacks of 2023. I’ll definitely be checking out the book, but unfortunately I’m probably not the main audience for this. It’ll be a greatest hits over the past ten years outlining what all of us already know.
The world needs more Canadian EV battery factories
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/billions-dollars-ev-and-ev-battery-factories-are-being-cancelled
How many more TOXIC battery factories can we tolerate in the pristine eco systems of North America?

The non-U.S. sections of N. America will probably get quite a few more, or rather the toxic batteries plus a lot of other things imported from China. The Chinese will be pushing very hard to offload their manufacturing overcapacity (all levels) on the rest of the world if they can’t sell them to the U.S. — their largest trading partner…before the tariffs.
There was a reason why I brought up that Chinese steel carve out that the Canadians gave them; there is a reason why our President says he doesn’t want ‘Canada’s’ steel.

I highly doubt that Carney is pushing this because he wants to help Canada/Alberta out.
yep. and the (literally) DIRTY little ‘secret’ (communists are experts at that) is the untold devastation-for-thousands-of-years on the land that happens in the process of *extracting* the ‘rare earth’ metals needed for the oh so much touted EV batteries.
gives new meaning to ‘assault and battery’ eh?
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/aug/07/china-rare-earth-village-pollution
and note the date, 2012. deniability is GONE. now its ‘ignorability’.
Yes the brilliance of Canajun politicians.
We’re going to build EV battery plants, while worldwide plants are being canceled.
People don’t want EVs beyond that 10%, maybe, that own now. Plus, the Liberal Hive Mind doesn’t want to sell to the US, the biggest trade partner, while China builds and does it better and cheaper!
The Liberals are truly delusional and insane, bent on bankrupting Canada.
Canada died in the last century its just to lazy to lay down.
The thing is … people REALLY like “nice” Canadians who come to their countries with money in their pockets. The same “nice” Canadians who emigrate with their hands out begging for stuff … won’t be seen as so “nice” anymore. Better collect all the Canadian version of stolen USAID tax dollars as fast as you can … claim some “green” virtue and get paid for your loyalty oath. Then escape with your largesse
Having lived in Canada for close to 50 years, I have determined that Canadians are not that nice. They are shallow and not forthcoming. They are sneering and hostile towards Americans, but hide their contempt. “Niceness” is an act. Many Canadians are arrogant and view themselves as superior to Americans, while ignoring the many ways in which Canada has become dysfunctional. Tristin’s book looks very much on target .A wake-up call.
You’re much too kind. Canadians are petty-minded a$$holes who’ve squandered their patrimony on the altar of laziness.
Having spent a good portion of my working life in the US while living in Canada, and travel/working in most of Canada, I’ll agree to certain elements of this comment.
Most Americans do not even think about Canada, just not on their radar unless something important happens, we are just the hoser’s (thanks SCTV) up north. Get below the border area cities, and they do not even know about us.
For the most part the vast majority of the Canadians described above are Urbanites, and the description is not harsh enough. These citizens are everything Canada was not known for. No use for the world beyond their nose, “gimme, gimme, gimme”, ugly sneering personalities, phony, ignorant of life beyond their realm. Personalities as deep as the last Toronto Star article they read. Liberal or NDP.
However the Ruralist or Small City citizens are a completely different breed, everything positive Canada was known for. Away from TO, Ottawa, QC, MTL, and VC, maybe even Edmonton, and you’ll find most are really what we were known for. Quieter, deeper personalities, based upon reality. Ready to help a neighbour, get their own job done and work towards the common goal.
I live in a suburb of Ottawa, and the number of new neighbours I have as the area changes, are nowhere near the good character of the older neighbours. With each change it gets progressively worse, short term rooming house style rentals are becoming too numerous here. Ottawa is getting worse by the week.
We still have a few good neighbours, elderly most, I help them out as much as I can and they return the favour when they can. House is pretty good, local services are good. I still want out of here, but Grams isn’t agreeable.
Working hard not to become an Urbanite. (Just getting easier to be Grumpy)
TBF … the people of the US break down the same way … urban pricks and friendly country folk
Truly valuable characteristics of society are more persistent and enduring in rural and semi-rural areas. I suspect that is people in less populated areas recognizing that they are dependent on one another not just in times of crises, but at all times, for survival. IN many cases when urban residents relocate to rural areas they lack awareness of this interconnectedness and dependence, and are experienced as a blight upon society.
Very true roadbowser! I also believe many urbanites perform such abstract and pointless jobs that they literally have no contact with the real world, real people, or REAL existence. It makes for very awkward and resentful people
@Grumps -Good distinction – differences between urban and rural. Yes. My experience has been with mostly urbanites. I would like to spend more time out West as I sense difference there.
“He’s just not ready.”
Nope.
He/Her, and his Ship Of Tools with Telford and Butts as pilots, were completely ready in 2015….
to tear down, poison or destroy.
The worst Prime Minister and the worst Canadian to ever walk.
But how do you deal with the millions who voted for this madness?
The name Trudeau should be cursed! Biggest disasters in my lifetime!
Ask for it at your local Indigo /Chapters. And while the “BookWright” checks the computer for your “not in stock” item (hmmm…that’s odd) Please give some thought to visiting our selection of trinkets, trash, cheap ass linen products from Bangladesh and scented candles. Oh…BTW!!! 50% off on all simply adorable World’s Best Dad coffee mugs. C’mon, you know you want one!
You see our visionary guru Heather isn’t so much about books…she’s more about lifestyle.
Always had a feeling, even as a youngster, that Canada always seemed to be punching above its weight. Never bought into the peacekeeping duties in Cypress which was constantly shoved down our throats as if the gods on high tasked Canadians for the job as if they were the only ones capable. And could the baby blue U.N. helmets be any gayer?
Then in the seventies there seemed to be this mysterious…”If we don’t act now the Americans will culturally swamp us bullsh**. Burton Cummings led that charge. I wonder what he thinks of Americans now? I’d bet he gets along just fine with his neighbours in Sherman Oaks California.
Which of course led to CanCon. The first gov’t nibble at free speech. And on it goes.
I like Daniel Tosh’s take on Canadians. “It’s easy being the open minded hippie up North who dares anyone to talk shit about it when you have a kevlar snuggie strapped to your frozen ass. courtesy of the u.s.a.
Which of course led to CanCon.
There are two things that Cancon accomplished. One was that hack singers and groups could make a living on the taxpayer’s dime, often recording dreadful cover versions of songs that were on American radio station playlists. The other one was that it allowed TV and movie producers to made and distribute dreadful rubbish, the sole purpose being to claim the results as tax writeoffs.
Take a look at the Cancon rules as to what qualifies as “Canadian content”. They are so twisted and convoluted that the South African apartheid era race laws seem logical by comparison.
American culture is Canadian culture.
And Burton Cummings lives in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan
Up until 2024 he lived in Sherman Oaks California…if he’s in Moose Jaw I guess it’s relatively recent.
Where’d Tosh say that? Tosh 2.0? … I like that … “open minded hippie” … yeah, and totally stoned on government dope. Yes, I intentionally used the word dope for marijuana
“The rapid concentration of wealth in Canada is no mere fancy. Already, it is estimated, less than fifty men control more than one-third of Canada’s material wealth as expressed in railways, banks, factories, mines, land and other properties and resources.” -Gustavus Myers, A History of Canadian Wealth (1914) A History of Canadian Wealth (1914), by Gustavus Myers, reports on his research into the means by which a few men gained control over the Canadian economy at the start of the twentieth century. Filled with stories of corruption, swindling, land deals, and bribery, it reveals a side of Canadian history that had not been exposed in previous documents and permanently altered the reputations of many of the country’s so-called leaders. The first of a two-volume work the author had planned, its sequel was never published.

more and more.
my poli sci studies, exposure to the hard core liberalism on Cdn campuses, decades of news items, current trends, the ‘off to the slaughter house’ mechanisms governing elections now, chirer chirer chirer they hand in everything down to even municipal elections (to get their ‘man’ on the right path, remember with communists its long term, long term)
suffice to say in order to maintain my sanity in these the last decade and some of my life l WILL have to essentially GIVE UP harbouring any hope Canaduh and its population of zombie voters will get back on track.
just way too much in the wrong compass heading.
damn you Liberals and liberals. damn the lot of you. all about POWER.
7 Things You Can’t Say In Canada
(Margaret Wente in Reader’s Digest.)
1. Margaret Atwood writes some really awful books.
2. Recycling is a waste of time and money.
3. Only private enterprise can save public health care.
4. David Suzuki is bad for the environment.
5. A national daycare program won’t do a thing to help poor kids.
6. Group of Seven artists are overexposed genre painters.
7. The United States is the greatest force for good the world has ever known.
She is definitely right about number one. I just read a perfectly awful volume of Atwood shirt stores. Yet she gets praised to high heaven.
I’d like to put that little graphic on the cover on a t-shirt.
When the only people happy got here ten minutes ago.. You got a problem.. Trudeau and the NDP have raped the corpse.. What hasn’t been destroyed has been handed away for nothing.. As if a grade 7 social studies class was running the show.. Everybody gets an A..
The fact that the upcoming election is close.. Is depressing..
