Nature is healing.

Since Canada will soon become a US state, I'll put this in here.

https://www.thefp.com/p/bari-weiss-canada-the-comprehensive-failure-of-j...

Bari Weiss: The Comprehensive Failure of Justin Trudeau
The Canadian prime minister was celebrated as a liberal hero. But many of his policies were illiberal—and unpopular.

In the nine years since he became Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau has been hailed not only as the savior of the country’s Liberal Party but more broadly as the glamorous beacon of Western liberalism. Or so it was until yesterday, when, in front of his official residence in Ottawa, Canada’s prime minister announced he was stepping down.

The question is what happened—and who’s to blame.

To hear Trudeau tell it, the problem is squabbling within the ranks of his own Liberal-led minority government: “If I’m having to fight internal battles,” he said yesterday, “I cannot be the best option in that election.” And to be sure, the precipitating event for this crisis was last month’s surprise resignation of Chrystia Freeland, Trudeau’s top deputy and finance minister.

But the problem with Trudeau’s government is not the name at the top of the ticket. The problem is bad ideas, strongly held.

Trudeau may think of himself as a liberal, and that might even be the name of his party, but his government actually epitomizes illiberal progressivism. Wedded to policies rooted in bien-pensant concerns while neglecting the Canadian public’s everyday challenges, Trudeau has presided over Canada’s deterioration into the sick man of North America. Long a haven for those hoping to escape dictatorships and civil wars for a stable democracy, the situation has become so bad that some Canadians, including Gad Saad, have left for the U.S.

Consider the following:

Economy: Trudeau is deeply unpopular—according to an Ipsos poll from last month, 73 percent of Canadians, including 43 percent of Liberal voters, believed Trudeau should step down as party leader. Perhaps no issue drives that more than the economy. In her resignation letter, Freeland called out Trudeau’s “costly political gimmicks,” a reference to his $4.5 billion plan to send $175 checks to everyone in the country making less than $105,000 a year. Canada’s government, once a model of fiscal prudence, now runs massive deficits to fund increasingly ineffective social programs.

Trudeau’s runaway taxing and spending has made Canadians poorer, in part due to his signature carbon tax, which has reduced real incomes across the country. Before the pandemic, Canada’s per capita GDP was about 80 percent of America’s. This year, it will be just 70 percent, according to IMF projections. Donald Trump jokes that Canada should become a state, but if it somehow became one, it would be among the poorest in the union.

As The Free Press’s Rupa Subramanya has reported, this has left behind an entire generation of young voters who are fleeing the Liberals and heading for Pierre Poilievre’s increasingly feisty and populist Conservatives. Polls indicate the Conservatives would win a commanding majority in parliament if an election was held today.

Immigration: Canada has long welcomed immigrants. Yet for the first time in 25 years, a majority of Canadians now say immigration levels are too high. “The 1.1 million new immigrants who came to the country in 2022 alone drove unprecedented competition for jobs,” the head of Canada’s leading youth employment agency told Subramanya. “We are seeing some of the highest youth unemployment since 2012 in a matter of a year and a half.”

Among these immigrants are some individuals who do not share Canada’s values of tolerance and pluralism. This, in turn, has helped feed an explosion of antisemitism in the country. (More on that below.)

Crime: Violent crime has skyrocketed under Trudeau’s leadership. Homicides rose by more than 50 percent between 2014 and 2022, and on a per capita basis, there is now more violent crime there than in the U.S. This, again, is a direct result of Trudeau’s policies, which have increasingly gone easy on criminals, even explicitly giving lighter sentences to people of color who’ve been convicted of crimes. It’s an astounding turnaround for a country that long kept serious violence confined to hockey rinks and subarctic bars.

Truckers: In 2022, protesters—many of them truckers irked by vaccine requirements mandated for traveling between Canada and the U.S.—traveled to Ottawa to voice their opposition to policies that were making their country less prosperous and less free. It wasn’t that the truckers, admittedly engaged in the aggressive tactic of blockading the capital’s streets, were wholeheartedly anti-vax (as Subramanya reported at the time, “the vast majority” were vaccinated). It was that, under Trudeau, they were distressed at what was happening to the country they loved.

Trudeau dismissed the protesters as “a few thousand people shouting and waving swastikas.” He invoked emergency powers never deployed in Canadian history to rob protesters of their access to banks, freezing accounts and suspending credit cards. It was an unnecessary and deeply illiberal response to a peaceful protest by fed-up citizens, many of them immigrants themselves. (In 2024, a Canadian judge ruled that Trudeau’s actions were unconstitutional.)

“We came to Canada to be free—not slaves,” one Ukrainian immigrant who joined the protests told The Free Press at the time. “We lived under communism, and, in Canada, we’re now fighting for our freedom.”

Censorship: Under the guise of combating “disinformation” (a term, as always, vaguely defined), Trudeau’s government has cracked down on what news Canadians are allowed to consume. Canada’s Online News Act was sold as a way to make social media companies pay news organizations when linking to their content, but in reality it was a sop to legacy media—and wound up preventing our own reporter in Ottawa from sharing her work for this publication on social media.

Rise of Assisted Suicide: Under Trudeau, medically assisted suicide has become alarmingly popular. In some provinces in 2023 nearly 5 percent of Canadians died this way. The explosion of the procedure’s popularity is due in large part to how lax Canadians have become in selecting who can die this way—all a Canadian needs to show is that they suffer from an ailment “intolerable to them” and that can’t “be relieved under conditions that they consider acceptable.” (Thankfully, parliament decided last year to postpone extending the treatment to those whose sole cause of suffering was a mental illness.)

Drug Use: The fentanyl epidemic in Canada has been greatly exacerbated by Liberal Party policies. In British Columbia, one of the most progressive provinces in the country, small amounts of hard drugs are legal. As Subramanya has reported in our pages, drug overdose was the leading cause of death among 10- to 18-year-olds in the province last year. Yet Trudeau has continued to push for “harm reduction” strategies—such as “safe sites” for injections—that have quite obviously failed. British Columbia now realizes how profoundly misguided this experiment has been and is embracing “involuntary care facilities” for drug addicts and the mentally ill.

Antisemitism: Since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, Canada has become hostile to Jews in ways that would boggle the mind of even the average anti-Israel American protester. Last month, Terry Glavin reported in The Free Press that “despair has become a feature of everyday life for Jews across Canada who are experiencing open hatred—and yet are living under a government that appears either blind to it, paralyzed by it, or indifferent to it.”

Trudeau’s commitment to combating hate speech and swastika-wavers apparently has firm limits: When presented with genuine calls for genocide at top Canadian universities, his government has done next to nothing. There has been a 670 percent increase in antisemitic incidents in the country over the past year. Canada’s Jewish community, which constitutes less than 1 percent of the population, have been the targets of 70 percent of religious motivated hate crimes.

And then there’s Trudeau’s poor judgment: Upon Fidel Castro’s death in 2016, to choose just one example, Trudeau offered lavish official condolences for the Cuban dictator with no mention of the gross human rights violations that marked his reign. Instead, Trudeau referred to Castro’s “love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for ‘el Comandante.’ ”

What’s happening in Canadian politics is not happening in a vacuum. It is a symptom of a much broader phenomenon. Call it the great crack-up of the old consensus.

The old consensus held that immigration was an absolute good, with multiculturalism the end goal. Arguments contrary to progressive social attitudes was “disinformation” that must be combated by robust online censorship. People would quickly adjust to massive changes in social attitudes around sex and gender because objections would be seen as bigoted. And anyone who said anything that questioned the consensus would become a pariah.

This consensus is being rejected across the West. Donald Trump won the presidency by building a multiracial, working-class coalition that had little affection for the progressive activists who supposedly spoke for them. In Italy, Giorgia Meloni—who launched her political career on the far-right—now leads perhaps the most stable country in Western Europe. In Britain, Labour’s Keir Starmer was able to wrest control of Downing Street after 14 years of Conservative rule, largely because Conservatives had not delivered on immigration restrictions. Nigel Farage’s anti-immigration Reform UK party is now ascendant there, in large part because of his muscular stance against Islamism and immigration.

Austria just elected its most right-wing government since the end of World War II. And Germany, once the heart of the old consensus under Chancellor Angela Merkel, is still dealing with the fallout with her 2015 decision to accept roughly a million asylum-seekers from the Middle East. The hard-right AfD is now poised to become the second largest party in Germany’s parliament in next month’s election.

There are certain things that simply can’t be wished away. Things like Islamic fundamentalism, the societal downsides of mass immigration, rising crime, and stagnant economics. Trudeau—who, in a fit of desperation late last year, tried to reverse his immigration policies—learned these lessons too late. He is the latest casualty of the great crack-up. But he will not be the last.

Sorry jeffy it’s not a video, maybe you can get someone to read it to you . https://www.yourdictionary.com/articles/yellow-journalism-examples. Yellow Journalism Today

Yellow journalism today isn't all that different from yellow journalism in the past, though it does seem to be even more prevalent now. While journalism is supposed to focus on factual information presented objectively, yellow journalism is anything but that. The war for clicks and views seems to have created an epidemic of sensationalized headlines that are anything but objective and often not even true (i.e., fake news).

Whenever you see sensationalized headlines that scandalize or exaggerate what the content is about, you're seeing an example of yellow journalism.

So Meidas Touch gets mixed for factual reporting, due to lack of transparency with funding.
Fox News gets
“The promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories and pseudoscience

And it is important because that is the main news source for Trump and MAGA

So why did you post and insist i read it then
If it irrelevant out of date crap
Or didn’t you read that either
Ha ha

Yes my mistake for thinking that you may understand what the article is about, it clearly went over your head which is understandable. All you picked out was examples of the past and ignored what the article is saying You have the hide to call others ignorant , funny stuff .

On youtube, I've found NewsNation to be pretty fair. Maybe slightly left leaning but nothing really noticable.
Even ex CNN guy Chris Coumo seems to be doing some proper journalism for a change.

Agreed TS , there are plenty of good sources that are slightly left or right, it’s the extreme leaning sources with all the sensationalism headlines, clicks = $ I don’t get what jeffy’s trying to achieve . If it’s to look like a nut job he’s doing a outstanding job .

Yellow journalism is usually unresearched “
Well why does Meidas touch have US lawyers and experts,
You read an article, usually nothing to do with US politics, and you apply it to all the videos you never watch, because you might not like them,
Talk about generalised ignorance
Giving examples of the Spanish American war
That shows exactly how irrelevant and out of date you are.
If you think that Twitter X and Musk were around during the Spanish American War
you need your head examined mate.

Actually I stopped at the bit that said yellow news is usually unreaserched
Because I knew that Meidas touch is staffed by current and past lawyers and legal experts in the US legal system ,
Who know shit more about things than you do
And they usually report news way ahead of main stream
But your only guessing
And your unbiased
Media bias fact checking
Thinks that Fox is way worse than Meidastouch. when it comes to fact checking and fake news,
So when someone says they’re as bad as each other,
Your favourite site disproves that.
Thanks.

What Trump says & what he actually does is very different. Some press have learnt to take him seriously but not literally. I don’t think jeffy will be getting any sleep, too busy building his bunker . Don’t forget ventilation down there jeffy .

Haha so you don’t have to take what Trump says seriously,
But I’m sure the country’s he won’t rule out using military force on , sure as hell do.
That’s the bit you don’t seem to get ,
Destabilisation , but don’t think too hard about it.

I think it’s hilarious that you criticise every news source that I use,
So now I’m using different news sources that you can’t criticise,
and you still deflect and not address the issues
and carry on whining and little insults,
that’s hilarious.
Yes you’re right, dealing with ostrich cult ignorance, is impossible.

Jeffy , can you please explain what Australian’s and the rest of the world should be doing in preparation for what is going to happen after 20th January. What controls should we all be putting in place ? I don’t expect you will answer, that’s ok just thought you might have aspirations to be leader of some type of movement .

No I can’t really explain,what everyone should be doing in preparation for 20/1
Because it’s uncertain what will happen , Unknown?
And it affects everyone differently, ie whether Trump’s threatening military action or tariffs on different countries, or not.
And it’s not just Trump
Musk is trying to promote the far right parties in England and Germany etc
Pushing for world wide authoritarianism
And now Zuckerberg has taken away independent fact checkers on his sites ?
