Daniela Liscio is a Canadian lawyer who left Canada but still wants the best for her homeland and her fellow Canadians. In this brilliant post, she goes through some uncomfortable truths that many Canadians likely won’t want to hear, but must:
It is impossible to articulate the Canadian identity without referencing its adherence to its moral superiority.
Canadians believe they are an evolved society with a relatively peaceful existence because of their compassion, tolerance and virtue. In keeping with this identity of higher society, they are more likely to adhere to the belief in a single defined “public good” that apparently only a few (incompetent) bureaucrats at the top can define.
It’s why Canadians were more inclined to blindly follow pandemic restrictions …
… or believe that it was OK for Trudeau to invoke the Emergencies Act against the truckers protesting their subjugation of bodily autonomy …
… or give in to a politician telling them to open their hearts — and wallets — without question.We Canadians are bred to show off our moral virtue especially compared to those gun-slinging racists to the South. We are taught to believe that our social safety net is stronger — and that’s the reason we have a kinder, gentler population that doesn’t get kids shot up in schools.
Ms. Liscio isn’t the only one who has noticed that something has gone very, very wrong in Canada. Simply put, why do so many Canadians hate Donald Trump specifically and Americans generally, than love their own country or future?!? Gad Saad coined the term “empathetic suicide”. This surely describes what just happened in Canada. Here’s his post from last night.
