TAKE   BACK   CANADA 

​

​

The hour is upon us when our nation’s destiny hangs in the balance.  This Canada Day, Monday July 1st, we make a stand.  On July 1st, we fight for the Canada we love, the fair dominion where freedom, liberty, and dignity once flourished, and where the hard work and sacrifices of Canadians before us promised a bright and prosperous future.

Since long before any of us were born, Canada has served as a beacon of hope for those who shared our sacred values of love, respect, and equality.  For decades we have nobly and generously accepted as our own those who wish to escape the shackles of repressive governments and cultures by offering them a place in our society, so long as they indeed showed to be noble in intention and sincere in their belief of the core values that make our society a safe and loving place for all.

We were compassionate enough to give, yet wise enough to keep a future for us and our children.

Now, the future that generations before us worked, fought, and died for is being stolen, given away, and dismantled before our eyes.  Gone are the days when our government re-invested the taxes we pay into our future and wrote policies that would make our country a fairer and safer place.  Canada has become a democracy in name only; a country where we cast our ballot every few years to decide who will break promises made and who will do the bidding of the oligopolies so they may have boundless access to cheap foreign labour and reap maximum profits from the roof over your head and the food on your plate.

We sacrifice all and make way for unfettered masses of foreigners from places where repressive beliefs and violence dominate, and they are made to live better than our own aboriginal peoples still living in squalor.

In even some of the world’s most impoverished countries, it is taken for granted that if you are willing to work, you may afford a roof over your head and space enough to raise a family.  However, in our supposedly rich and prosperous nation, this basic human necessity seems only attainable for the highest achievers in our society, while the majority of us wallow in silence, too defeated to believe that a brighter future is possible.

The time is now that we MUST make our stand.  There is still yet a sliver of hope that our government’s destructive policies can be undone, and that after some hardship we can turn back the clock to a time when hope in one’s future, and the future of Canada, did not seem so futile.  We must stand tall and proud as true Canadians, separated by ideological affiliation but united as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers to fight for the common good of us all.

We must now let it be known loudly and clearly that a deep and brave fire still burns in the heart of every true Canadian, and that we are not too hypnotized by the online shows and social media feeds they dangle before us to fight for what is rightfully ours.  We must show the ruling class the fury that will meet them if they dare to trample our rights and take everything we’ve worked for as their own.

I call upon you now to look deeply inside yourself for the courage and sense of duty that is embedded in us all.  Will you tell your children that when the hour was near you hearkened the call and stood boldly for what was right?  Or will you risk leaving the task to those with higher moral fortitude than you and be counted among the weak and shameful bystanders of history?

Will you keep the promise you made at the start of every school day, at every hockey game, at every Remembrance Day and Canada Day?  Will you stand on guard for thee?
