Nationalistic Fervor
Todd Hayen
I was at the ballet the other night, yes, the ballet. It was the Canadian Ballet Company’s production of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. Before the ballet started, the orchestra struck up a thundering version of Canada’s national anthem, O Canada.
I knew the ballet had not yet started because I was aware that Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece did not begin with a drum roll. This rendition of O Canada most certainly did.
Almost without hesitation, the entire audience stood and broke into song. How riveting. I do not know the words to the national ditty, and even if I did, I doubt if I could have persuaded my lungs to pump them out. In fact, I was more inclined to sit down, but instead, I stood with the rest of them. When in Rome and all that—and better not to start a fight with the Canadian wife.
When it was over, the crowd broke into a cheer that would rival hockey game exuberance. For a moment, I expected the ballet dancers to come out with helmets and sticks rather than tutus and ballet slippers. “What in hell was that all about?” I thought to myself. Ahh, it is time for Canadian nationalistic fervor!
They have, once again (the first time being in 1812), been attacked by their neighbours to the south, and I’ll be danged if they are going to stand for it! The first time, they burned the White House to the ground. Who knows what they will do this time? (Fact Check Alert: I doubt if the White House was burnt to the ground, and it wasn’t even Canadians who did it—Canada as a country was not yet invented. It was the British who set the place ablaze—but try to tell that to a Canadian.)
Ever since Big Bad Orange Man Trump levied tariffs on poor little ol’ Canada, Canadians have been in a feverish uproar. How dare he? That horrible bully! And rather than look to their leaders (in this case, the venerable Justin Trudeau) for possible causes for the tariff, they rally ‘round the maple leaf flag and cry out about American hostility. Down with America! Up with Canada, O Canada, We Stand on Guard for Thee!
That’ll show ‘em!
Only it won’t. Not even close.
Sad, I know. I like Canada, and particularly Canadians. I am a Canadian citizen as well (I know that does not make me a true Canadian), and I have no qualms with Canada (other than its government, for which I have the same qualms as I have with nearly all governments). But unfortunately, Canada is going to lose this fight with the Great Bwana of America. Trump has issues with Canada and the current trade agreements (although he was the one who originally negotiated the USMCA, which replaced NAFTA, in 2020). Trump’s issues are not only of the fairness of trade between the two countries but also include border security and the alleged illegal passage of fentanyl between The True North and the US.
Needless to say, there is a lot of controversy regarding these Trump demands, but rather than try earnestly to sort them out, the attack on Trump commences. I am no fan of tariffs and trade wars, or even sanctions in time of war, but I am also not an expert on international trade, so I plead ignorance to the details, and subsequent support, of Trump’s actions. But come on, hate America is the response? Really? Dear Canada, you can surely do better than that.
And the people of Canada are eating it up like a chocolate-covered Beavertail (that’s a real thing, by the way). At best, it is a distraction removing the true line of sight from Canada’s atrocious Trudeau government to nationalistic anti-American fervor. Who cares if Canada is run by a delinquent, he is now a hero for standing up to Trump! According to them, Trump’s fentanyl complaint is completely fabricated—it simply is not true (yeah, right, so why pump 1.3 billion dollars into making an effort to minimize it?) And Trump himself created the trade agreement currently in place, so why should he be complaining about that?
Canada’s leadership might actually be playing a different game, one where “winning” isn’t about economic health, but political survival. If they can’t outpunch Trump (and they’d be deluded to think they can), maybe the Liberal brain trust sees a scorched-earth strategy as their ticket. Tank the economy, let Canadians feel the squeeze—higher prices, job losses, a battered loonie—and spin it into a heroic saga: “We stood up to the orange Goliath, and though we bleed, we’re still here.” It’s not about prosperity; it’s about power. A broken country that still chants your name beats a thriving one that boots you out.
There’s precedent for this kind of gambit. Leaders have ridden populist waves through hardship before—think wartime rallying cries or economic crises turned into “us vs. them” narratives. Trudeau’s team (and now Carney’s) could be betting that Canadians, riled up by national pride and anti-Trump fervor, will forgive the pain if it’s packaged as noble resistance. Mark Carney’s gravitas as ex-Bank of Canada governor adds polish to the story—he’s the steady hand guiding the ship through the storm, even if it’s sinking. The Liberals stay in power, ruling a wounded but loyal flock, while Trump’s the villain in the history books.
The national anthem incident at the ballet the other night freaked me out. Not so much because I don’t like national anthems played at sporting events (yes, the ballet is definitely an athletic spectacle), but because nationalistic fervor is dangerous. It is a tool used by those in power to coerce people to go bonkers for some fabricated cause. Personally, I remember this in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War in America, although there was little nationalistic fervor at that point in the history of the conflict, the government certainly did not refrain from efforts to conjure it up. It is never a good thing; in times of war, it is used to justify killing fellow humans “in the name of patriotism.” In times of peace, it is used to dehumanize the citizens of another country, so that the country’s actions, and that country’s leadership, become the target of pure hate.
At a little coffee shop two doors down from my office this morning a woman ordered a “Canadacano” because she didn’t want to say “Americano”—if she knew I was an American, she probably would have thrown it in my face.

It’ll probably work. Keeping the Canadian Liberals in power (and under an uber-bankster/technocrat) was unlikely to be the main issue here but it sure is a nice side-benefit for the controllers.
They did the full moon & mercury gone retrograde ritual and bombed Yemen, but this article is far more important.
Nah. Canadians are way too polite to throw a coffee in anyone’s face.
I well remember all the Ukrainian flags during the first year or two of Russia’s incursion into Ukraine and now i am seeing Canadian flags displayed in a similar act of patriotism or defiance. I wonder if all these patriots will be happy to see Canada burned to the ground if our trade war with the U.S.A goes horribly wrong as the Ukraine war has. I wonder when they will pull down the flags as news of the destruction and poverty finally becomes impossible to ignore…. Even for all those proud and virtuous Canadians.
In my opinion and as a Canadian I would verymuch like to see our leaders and my fellow Canadians ignore Trump rather than turn this into another opportunity to display patriotism and virtuous self righteousness.
Just ignore the Orange man. It seems to me that most of what he does is designed to get attention.
Congratulations to all the politicians and patriots who are giving him exactly what he wants while at the same time potentially leading us into a catastrophic economic war.
EXACTLY
The Zionists control the world, the news as we see it tofay is just entertainment to keep the masses distracted. Take Syria, not in the news, yet the Zionists that control that place are killing thousands of Christians, the Israelis are up to all sorts in there, you can be sure none of it is good, and Trump is getting US bases in Iraq to get busy.
Meanwhile the plebs are worrying about tarifs, cheering on the destruction of agencies and programs that have been spreading the US message for decades, all very political bipartisan stuff, none of it really meaningful in terms of saving the economy.
At the same time the Zionists are trying to persuade various countries to take the Palestinians, they are tightening the noose on anyone who is “anti-semitic”, they are funding their boy Musk as if he is the only company owner remaining in the world, when really he is all part of the entertainment put on for the plebs.
On and on it goes, the destruction of the world we live in is heading full steam ahead with no plan other than destruction and the building of a Jewish super state. Even Ukraine is a source of entertainment for the masses, with Putin inviting the Zionist puppet Musk to partner with them to go to Mars, as if Russia has the money to go anywhere near Mars, given its terrible current inflation. It becomes clearer that Russia is playing a role in the Zionist takeover, they are not independent of the Zionists.
With the whole western world controlled by the Zionists, there is no good future for non-Jews in Europe.

Precisely what I have tried to tell everybody the last 20 years. There is nothing new under the sun.
But…..MSM refused to write about it, and Alternative media remained silent about it.
But today you finally listen, and you realize what I was saying 20 years ago!

Hangout.
I’ve watched this twice over the years. It sounds pretty plausible to me. Funny to recognize the names of officers she alludes to when you see them in other deep state reports.
I think at some point she might have been told “enough is enough”.
I’d also wager she left some things out.
Some of her information are factual = Insider. But divorced women can be very biased cases. Therefore one should be careful to cross check any doubt about what she says.

Great one.
Better not to join the US at this point, while they idea as the founding fathers envisioned it was great the US is now a shithole (not that the rest of the “developed” world is any better), the vast majority of the US population is to stupid to even distinguish between the words “people” and “citizen”, while that khalil guy may be all they acuse him of (he could be an “agent provocateur” as well, on the payroll of the deep state), the trumpledore is just completely gutting the first amendment (or at least clumsily trying it) and the stupid crowd is cheering, these sheeple do not get it that you do not need to be a citizen to have (at least) te first, fifth and fourteenth amendment rights, you just need to be a legal resident, the framers of the constituion explicitely talk about people in the Bill of Rights not about citizens (at that time citizenship was granted by the single States not by the Union) btw. the whole declaration of independence and the bill of rights nowhere contain any reference towards “citizen”. Do the sheeple not see that they are next ? (Welcome to Niemoeller’s world) Through sheer stupidity they are now completely driving this wonderfull idea that the founding fathers had (with all their flaws they had, because they were humans) against the wall. Nobody of the “woke right” gets it that they are completely played by the radical christian (messianic) fringe (Barry Goldwater feared these creeps and warned about them a long time ago), I find it hghly ironic when all those blockheads bloviate about how the US is founded an “christian” values, when in reality the idea was a revival of the ancient roman idea of the Republic, nothing religious in there and certainly not chrisian by any means. I am of the opinion anyway, that behind the scenes the catholic creeps want to throw as back into the dark ages, where they wielded the ultimate power. I always saw the US constitution as the Ultimate Product of the Enlightenment Movement, which in itself was a revival of the Greek and Roman Antiquity, where mankind seemed to finally have overcome its irrational past and got back to rationality and logic, but it seems they again lost it and we are now headed back to a new dark era, the dumb ages. Just for the record, the dead corpse and the fake suit preseeding the trumpledore were by no means any better, unfortunately the US was to stupid to realize that they had their (maybe last) chance with Ron Paul, but they blew it.
Forgot something: the concept of freedom of religion means freedom from religion as well, you are not only free to choose any religion you want but to just have no religion at all (at least no organized form of religion), since I guess we all have some core beliefs, though I prefer to base these on rational explanations rather than irrational ones.
Unfortunately these days it seems to me that a Protagoras or Sokrates or Spinoza or Kant (or at least their ideas) are not well known to the sheeple.

“There’s no fervour in a deflated child’s balloon” … (anon) …
I hope you mean a child’s deflated balloon. I’m off to bed and I’ll have nightmares now.
Recently read another article which gave the same message very succinctly.
War is when a government tells the people who is the enemy. Revolution is when the people work it out for themselves.
hey wasn’t that there Tschaikovsky character some sort of dirty Russkie who blew up the national anthem of the freedom-loving French using fireworks in one of his greatest hits? seems like patriotic-minded Canadians oughta be slapping some sanctions on a ballet like that
There are very strong grounds for thinking that all this Trumpian blather is actually a sign of weakness, not strength. Obviously we still have considerable clout among economies that are dependent on us and societies that are too weak to shoot back (we’re really good at bombing people who can’t fight back) but if you take a step back and look at the big picture we don’t appear that strong any more. (…and our influence is diminishing, not increasing)
Give what’s been going on recently having a bunch of Canadians give us the finger is understandable The Canadian government is different, though. The Canadian people would very much like to tell us to pound sand but the government, like European governments, is too wedded to ‘the system’ to advocate on their peoples’ behalf. Like all of these government (including our own) its become more of a sales and enforcement organization than representative of the people’s wishes (sales to convince us that life’s rosy and its the best it has ever been and enforcement to deal with the inevitable naysayers). The problem is that there are many signs that “the rest of the world” just isn’t interested in tagging along with us any more and that, furthermore, we’re not in the same position to ‘get their minds right’ that we used to be.
The not-quite-dead British Empire and old family bloodlines have used the U.S. as their military instrument to pursue and implement foreign policy. It came at a great cost your people — in blood and treasure. Trump knows this and is seemingly attempting to turn away from the ‘international rules based (dis)order’. Meanwhile, the EU has committed 600 billion Euros to take up where the U.S. left off. Starmer, a loyal British and WEF servant, is all in. On a war footing. Germany will be manufacturing war machines/weapons instead of VWs in one or two of its emptied factories.
I didnt knew EU jumped on that waggon too.
But, as both Brussel and Washington are filled with influential Liberals and Doos, then……….we start with Iran.
So 600 billion and 600 billion to military equipment for WWIII in West alone. Per year.
but trumpledore bows to his zionist overlords, which just makes him a puppet like stormer as well.
Probably. But so far Trump is doing fine.
Radio Free Europe and other propaganda organs have been arrested and their offices closed.
They belonged to the deep state and was used to regime change operations in countries overseas. They were worn out as everybody knew they were doing propaganda.
Actually I didnt thought Trump had the courage to close these smut media financed by precisely the Zionist overlords.
The problem with Nationalistic Fervor is that it’s hard to separate love for one’s nation from support of its government. At least in terms of optics.
I love England. And Scotland, Wales and Ireland too. But I’ve gone off the “United Kingdom” because it’s basically
…(continued) a product of government oppression. I can’t be proud of the Union Flag any more, I’ll wave the English flag instead.
As for the government, they hated me and my people for decades before I realised this and hated them back.
I would happily be jingoistic… if I had a sovereign nation with a dutiful government, to be jingoistic about.
We yr government live by the river and you cant do a SHIT about it: https://dzen.ru/video/watch/6316d9a1bccb566e891e6e4c .
The Island you reside on should be called Britain, “United Kingdom” is a Corporate racket set up by your beloved Anglo-Saxon invaders and their criminal banking backers.
and around 1815 the corporate racket was taken over by the zionist banking cartels
Yup, Rothschild inc and other criminal minded entities.
Is it possible that the world map is being redrawn into perhaps a few spheres of influence? It may be of interest to those who care about historical facts to go to Matt Ehret’s Insights substack. Who knew of British and Russian involvement in the American civil war? Indeed, John Wilkes Booth was sent on his mission from Montreal afterwards.
As a side note, Mark Carney (aka Mark Carnage) is off to see Sir Keir Stalin and President Macron. God help us all.
Ehret is a good factual link and choice. But he only points to what some of us already knew, but which at least 90% of the populations will refuse to believe:
The Agenda is de-population!
Therefore nobody cant get anything right and cause. Because this is the last thing which could arrive in their heads. “I dont believe it”. “Impossible”.
And, if it arrives in their brainwashed heads, they will say that the Elite is right. We are too many. Yes?
That is the ‘elite’ consensus, yes. Yet the western nations are in serious population decline already. Hence, perhaps, the UN document (can’t recall the exact one) titled ‘Replacement Migration’. Wars contribute to depopulation, as in Ukraine. Then there’s ethnic cleansing in Palestine. While the jabs help the objective considerably, they may also serve a scientific objective in transforming humans into transhumans (the Internet of Bodies) over time. Transgenderism ->->->> transhumanism? Then there’s the technocracy somewhere in between?
It is also unclear to me whether the Transgender/Transhuman/Man-merging-machine/LGBT just is an excuse for depopulation or it has something real in it.
But I know at least these Maurice Strong/Rome Club m.m. talked about “doing it in a human way”.
All right, the vaccine trick we could perhaps call human, the cancer wave human, spreading in-fertility is ‘human’.
But Iraq, Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, Fallujah, Libya, genocides, m.m. we cant call human.
So there is still confusion left, other than a psychopath’s joy of seeing someone suffer.
A human is too complex to change to live longer and stronger. You know our limits are 75 years old plus minus 25 years, man or woman, and thats it.
So why all this jumping and fumbling around? It does not make sense.
Its an illusion, and the more we dig into it, the more we meet the requirement of seeing a spiritual cause in it.
There is a reason why we have rich Churches and Monasteries all over the world.
The spiritual and soul matters much more than we know in our Western world.
All right I have peace in myself because I walk with God, but I still dont get how the most intelligent specie here on earth can be caught so easily in acting so irrational. Maybe its true they come from an ape.
A track could be Rudolph Steiner.
.
He made an explanation on why they are so obsessed with vaccines on natural child deceases who strengthens the child’s immune system:
But, we are again into the spiritual matters where not many people have courage to wander.

Flu Vaccine Exposed. The Shocking NIH Discovery They Dont Want You To Know.
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/flu-vaccine-exposed-shocking-nih-discovery-they-dont-want-you-know
A 2010 Cochrane Review Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy adults by Tom Jefferson et al
concluded:
“Influenza vaccines have a modest effect in reducing influenza symptoms and working days lost. There is no evidence that they affect complications, such as pneumonia, or transmission.”
“WARNING:
This review includes 15 out of 36 trials funded by industry (four had no funding declaration). An earlier systematic review of 274 influenza vaccine studies published up to 2007 found industry funded studies were published in more prestigious journals and cited more than other studies independently from methodological quality and size. Studies funded from public sources were significantly less likely to report conclusions favorable to the vaccines. The review showed that reliable evidence on influenza vaccines is thin but there is evidence of widespread manipulation of conclusions and spurious notoriety of the studies. The content and conclusions of this review should be interpreted in light of this finding.”
Then there’s the real risk of ADE, antibody dependent enhancement (of disease / inflammation):
ADE is “Poorly understood” but they’re vaccinating anyway:
“ADE is one form of immune enhancement, a poorly understood group of phenomena occurring when components of our immune system that usually protect against viral infections somehow end up backfiring.”
This unscientific description is from The Scientist: https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/covid-19-vaccine-researchers-mindful-of-immune-enhancement-67576
I never took these jabs for free by the Employer.
My colleagues who took them always took sick leave because of flue or ‘influenza’. I cant prove that, but for my own part it was a signal that I were right in rejecting these silly jabs.
Why the Employer offered them for free to his Employees I dont know. Maybe he wanted to see ‘the crowd of the obedient*.
The sick leave following flu jabs is replicated in hospitals where a good section of the nurses are well-known to take a week or two off work to recover from these shots. Heard it from the horses mouth.
This world is so absurd.
Thanks Todd for a great article…!
Heil Hitler…??????
Hear me out.What if we stopped listened to authority I mean who are they exactly people like you and me.To be honest we are stuck on this ball with cranks.
We would have to stop listening to the media as well. They are all in cahoots.
As an ex-pat estadounidense and an anarcho-libertarian, I doubt that Trump is unhinged, other than in the most universal sense. His patron saint, Roy Cohen, was arguably the most evil American of the second half of the 20th century, though he was running some stiff competition, with LBJ and Allan Dulles running second and third. The first question one might ask about Trump is who is he really working for? But preceding that, one might ask what general goal does he wish to drive the US “citizenry” toward. The answer to that is rather simple – a Hunger Games society of the 99% on UBI and the 1% owning everything. A technocratic society with pseudo trillionaire frontmen Oligarchs such as Besos and Musk ostensibly running the computers who will be the de facto rulers. This is the same goal as the Goldfinger like Nazi Klaus and his evil sorcerer Israeli sidekick are aiming at.
Part of the goal is to consolidate the planet into a few superstates, of which the EU is, at the moment, the only one and apparently heading for a rendezvous with an iceberg. As an ultrazionist, exactly how is the Real Donald Trump at war with the WEF? But his job should be to consolidate the USA with Canada and Mexico with the Amero as the sole currency. Insulting Canada by referring to the recently defrocked moron Castreau as “governor”(a plausible case may be made that he was actually the biological child of the late Fidel. who his acidhead mother, Margaret, referred to as the “sexiest man alive”) does not appear to further this goal. Or making Canada “the 51st state.” So one must wonder at the overall strategy.
Of course, Canadians are just as fucking stupid as Americans, with their head of state, the British monarch, who holds the real political power of the country, as demonstrated by the recent dismissal of Parliament until Trump could insult Canadians to the point of bolstering up the party of former second-in command, Banderista Freeland, and Trump could build up sufficient resentment to weaken the also pro-war Conservatives. Our Overlords must find our general gullibility and stupidity well past amusing.
Oh, oh, oh, oh…Canadians would swear until blue in the face that the UK monarchy has NOTHING to do with the way their country is run…NOTHING…not even a speck of INFLUENCE. I heard this ad nauseam when I first moved here, and even then, when I was still dumb as a box of rocks, I thought it was nonsense.
Yeah but this is some disheartening news, sold (Canada) to the highest bidder, China. In a behind the scenes deal, I would join the US rather than play second fiddle to a creditor.

Cognitive Dissonance.
Apportioning stupidity, incompetence or evil is a big thing in USA, but irrelevant to the rest of the world. Every bit of injustice, malice and brutality will be repaid in full in this world; that was Osama’s last genuine (non-fake) message.
One correction: Roy Cohen should be changed to Roy Cohn.
Most national anthems are uninspiring at best. German and Russia are standouts simply because they both had an ample supply of composers to choose from. The UK’s is a simple, recyclable, tune –it was also used by Imperial Germany before WW1 and even by the US before they lit on that adapted drinking song.
I can’t comment on border security, tariffs and the like because regardless of what’s coming out of the White House its a mess. There’s probably a hard core of Americans who think we’re under siege from Mexico (and Canada, of course) and feel that we’re being taken advantage of just because our business leaders find it more profitable to import rather than produce locally. Nuanced arguments aren’t going to cut it in this conversation — trying to explain that tariffs are just a tax on imports just doesn’t work. We’re supposed to believe that, for example, all Walmart has to do is go to the Chinese and ask them to cut their prices by 10% to offset the tariffs. Which they have done already. The relevant Chinese ministry politely explained to them that “China” is actually a network of businesses, many operating on slender margins. This suggests a fundamental lack of understanding of how business works on someone’s part,
As for fentanyl we seem to have forgotten that the entire opioid crisis was 100% home grown. We allowed widespread prescription of opioid painkillers because the manufacturer said that they were non-addictive. When reality eventually shone through the marketing hype our reaction was to simply turn off the tap. A strategy that’s guaranteed not to work, but then its always easier to blame external factors (“Mexican cartels”) than figure out what the real problem is and deal with it.
Great comment. Thank you for it.
Without America’s addiction would there be drug cartels?
Without drug cartels would there be addiction? And how do those cartels survive so easily with all of the USA spy networks that ought to be able to eradicate them if desired? Hmmmm……. Take a quick peek at Afghanistan and the poppy fields that managed to survive all that war in that country as well. How can that be with the greatest military and intelligence apparatus on earth? One would almost think the leadership in the USA wants an addicted populace….

Each week seems more exaggerated than the previous weeks article.
Oh Ca Nada,
I watch my fellow Canadians run down the Americans while paying for their Starbuck’s Coffee with their Apple or Google Pay then sitting in Starbucks and watching Net FLix.
Oh Ca Nada the hypocrisy…
The Canadian Government is attempting to cling to power using Canadians as stones to stand on and keep themselves above water. Never forget what the Canadian government did to Canadians most recently with the COVID Scamdemic. “Safe and Effective” they said. BULLSHIT! Not to mention they handed their corporate masters Billion$$$ of dollars in freebie bailouts and then called in all the money that the “lent” to Canadians through their CERB scam.
Screw Mark”Tru to the dough” Carney, him and his carbon-tax climate scam.
And let’s not believe that Pierre Polievre would be any better. All Canadian politicians are beholding to a foreign power “The City of London”. So it’s always been a (s)election process of the City of London’s candidates.
My guess is that Mark Carney will win the election and eventually will capitulate to POTUS 47 by September if Canada lasts that long.
Always remember CANADA INC. is a corporation that has been bankrupt twice previously and is now bankrupt again. The end is near…Canada the myth created by the CBC and NFB etc.. Our “Canadian” culture has been steadily eroded the Americans over Canada’s existence. Walt Disney and company stole our identity and the rest is history.
I could not have said all that better myself. Thank you. And don’t forget the Truckers and the bullshit emergency act.
The grocery stores up here have labels on everything…even Kellogg’s Corn Flakes…” packed in CANADA.” Do not be confused with Battle Creek in good ol’ USA.
I bought some cheese, and the woman cutting it said, “You, of course, want CANADIAN cheese, right?” “Of course, I said, anything American has a 200+% tariff on it!” Hypocrisy is right…
Hi Todd,
Thanks for your article and for broaching this important topic.
The infringement on our rights by the Government of Canada as well as the Provincial and Municipal governments during COVID was second to none. The Province of Quebec going as far as to issue a curfew for months not allowing it’s citizens to go out after 8pm-5am without a valid exclusion.
Not to mention what the Feds did to the Freedom Movement and the truckers who made it roll and were brave enough to confront the Government directly as you mentioned.
My brother and sister Canadians,
What does it mean when your governments (Federal, Provincial and Municipal) are all beholding to the Crown (corporation) of the City Of London?
What does it mean when key political players in Canadian politics in conjunction with City Of London are under the guidance and control of the World Economic Forum (WEF)?
It means that Canada’s “Sovereignty” is really smoke and mirrors.
Canadians are nothing more than “resource” labour at the beckoning call of the above mentioned entities and the elites that control them.
Why has the Canadian dollar been constantly (purposely) devalued throughout the last 50+ years. (The 1970 FLQ crisis giving birth to the Quebec Independence movement Parti-Quebecois which in turn destabilized the Canadian dollar for decades.
Perhaps to increase the flow of cheap goods across the US border on behalf of the Canadian establishment who profits greatly from that flow , meanwhile Canadians buying power reduced and eroded by our diminished currency.
And never forgot how they allowed Nortel Networks and Northern Telecoms business to be taken down and sold off. All the technology that was developed and paid for by Canadian taxpayers during Northern Telecom debacle sold off for pennies on the dollar to guess who? Just one example my Canadian friends.
Oh yes where did Mark Carney fly to on his first official business?
PS Tim Horton’s (American owned) Hudson Bay Company Stores (American owned) Roots (American owned) etc. etc.. Our governments and our business leaders allowed the selling off of Canadian National interests (Sask Grain Pool) and National icons (RCMP image to Walt Disney) without any hesitation. That is not what I call sovereignty more like total sell out.
I remember decades ago a 60-Minutes interview with Canadian author Mordecai Richler about his novel “The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.” It came up in the interview that Canadian authors were viewed even in their native Canada as less accomplished than American authors.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Wakey Wakey the biggest drug dealers are the CIA and they do not believe in borders so regurgitating the lies shows again the MSM plus (woke right) network has worked wonders on you.
pure bullshit part at the end for Dr fibber.
Miles calls this spook central and this guys articles are becoming grift to the point of embarrassing.
You being American or Canadian.
YER right!!
Clown world of hypocrite of the highest order.
what sick fuck sends there baby girl to ballet lessons.?
Dr Todd and his elk wets his knickers over the MSM plus regurgitated trans and girl boy boy girl and all the jazz they manufactured to LOW IQ argue about.
What sick fuck suppose parent sends there baby girl to ballet to train.
Pure child abuse of the highest order.
Then to watch it shows again the deformation of the woke right.
The most disgusting thing.
I’m sensing a lot of hate over there. Are you in prison? (A real one, with real bars and guards with guns ready to shoot you…not a self-created one; I know you are in that one.)
May we have a quick peek at your system of logic? I’m with you that forcing very young children into any sport – just because if they don’t start young they supposedly don’t stand a chance at making “the big time” – is an abomination.
However, I haven’t come upon a link in your reasoning between child abuse and attending the ballet? Nor with IQ level. It would be nice perhaps if a high IQ in and of itself clears the mind of evil; but that does not seem to be the case.
Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ‘Patriotism’ is its cult…Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one’s country which is not part of one’s love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.”― Erich Fromm
As an American, and as much as I loathe anything nationalistic, I’m afraid I have to applaud Canadians for standing up for their country. And for giving me some much needed ammunition in my seemingly one may stand against the notion that “they’re all in it together.”
This uber-nationalistic response by Canadians indicates in no uncertain terms exactly how great the challenge to a One World Government really is. So give me a beat and I’ll sing along to O Canada!
And let me just add that, since our new President is a bit of a lunatic – which the pundits smooth over by calling him “mercurial” – it is not at all out of place for Canadians to be very very wary of America. Believe me, ALL Canadians are mad dog traitors compared to the MAGA Troglodytes – MAGAdytes for short – who gave us Trump.
Unfortunately, nationalism all for the wrong reasons. As such, they are playing right into Trump’s hands.
I’m wondering if you ever saw Michael Moore’s masterpiece, “Bowling for Columbine?” In it, he mentions Canada fondly and even interviews a person or two. His point being that while Canadians have way more guns per capita than the US, there’s very little shooting violence (of course that was 2002). And apparently (again in 2002), not everyone bothered locking their doors.
Unless it’s changed drastically, just imagine Canada as part of the seeped in violence USA. Now that’s scary.
Creating mass shooting in the West is easy. Sell guns freely, or even give them to the stooge. Either select a schizo or slip him the right pill – after you write and plant a manifesto of violence on him. The allocations to all the “security” and “intelligence” bodies is enormous. This is capitalism; those who don’t like it can move to Russia, China or Cuba.
Isn’t MAGA a code for MIGA anyway ?
In fairness, Trump did also make some remark about annexing Canada, so it’s not all just about money. But seeing as how an actual annexation of Canada by the US seems unlikely, all of this patriotic fervor is a bit overwrought.
A population of cucks…
Well Canada is a British Colony as you know, and how is the nationalistic feelings here?
Starmer England’s PM talk to his populations about the necessity of raising the military spending drastically (taxes) in order to make some tough decisions for future peace: https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/uk-column-news-14th-march-2025 .

That speaks French as the first language, are these people confused or what.
I beg your pardon?
Obviously Hollywood product will be blocked by this trade war (won’t it?) so Canada will have to make its own movies. Following on from ‘A Canadian Werewolf in London’ and ‘Canadian Psycho’ from previously, there could be: ‘Canadian Graffiti’ (we were going to scrawl rude things about Trump but it’s too anti-social); ‘Canadian History X’ (everything we’re terribly guilty about); ‘Canadian Hustle’ (sorry am I holding you up? I’ll get a wiggle on); ‘Canadian Gangster’ (the Mark Carney biopic); ‘Canadian Gigolo’ (he’s very caring the morning after); ‘Canadian Pie’ (he eats the pie and asks for seconds rather than sticking his todger in it); and so on….
I don’t know, but every TV series I see seems to be made in Canada, starring mostly Canadian actors. Vancouver seems to be the new Hollywood. It seems to stand in for all the cities of the world.
Why not? It’s increasingly everything but Canadian.
The 2021 census reported that immigrants (individuals born outside Canada) comprise 274,365 persons or 42.2% of the total population of Vancouver. Of the total immigrant population, the top countries of origin were mainland China (63,275 persons or 23.1%), Philippines (29,930 persons or 10.9%), Hong Kong (25,480 persons or 9.3%), India (14,640 persons or 5.3%), United Kingdom (12,895 persons or 4.7%), Vietnam (12,120 persons or 4.4%), Taiwan (9,870 persons or 3.6%), United States of America (9,790 persons or 3.6%), Iran (8,775 persons or 3.2%), and South Korea (6,495 persons or 2.4%).[122]

When I was in my teens, there was this kid whose family spent the summers touring Canada with Royal American Shows. He was infatuated with one of my sisters. His “boy” strategy to get to know her was to be my friend. One day he invited me on an early morning tour of the midway. It changed my outlook on the world. Everything was rigged. The most common instruments were distraction and leveraging people’s greed. So, now Canada has a Prime Minister named Mark Carney. God, apparently, has a seriously twisted sense of humor.
Thanks, Todd, excellent to read, and well put.
It’s starting to resemble the 2020 psyop all over again.
Given the experience of 2020 on, I just asked my 20-year younger nephew what he thought the next song the chorus will be singing to make everyone else who wasn’t on the same page as uncomfortavle as possible.
No reply yet.
Yes, Canadians appear to be taking the predictbly unimaginative, dogmatic, knee-jerk reflex route, with the prospect of immediately forgetting how the Liberal government just destroyed their lives and country — and reinstalling them.
What the hell, it’s a non-productive, parasitic, multi-party, totalitarian bureaucracy that can’t be dismantled anyhow, no matter who they vote for.
Self-destructive Canadians never learn.
And, given that goverment encouraged and assisted suicide is now a leading cause of death in Canada, it should come as no surprise Canadians are longing to rush into yet another collective leap into an even deeper, darker abyss.
A.I. SUMMARY CANADIAN SUICIDE STATS
“The number of medically assisted deaths in Canada has been increasing annually. In 2022, there were 13,241 medically assisted deaths, marking a 31.2% increase from 2021 when there were 10,092 deaths. This trend continued in 2023, with the number rising to 15,343, representing a 15.8% increase from 2022.”
Won’t be joining them this time either.
However, I will remain standing on guard, among the living dead, keeping a close watch over things as they exponentially disintegate
‘National Anathema’! I like that.
Replacing Trudeau with Carney was a foregone conclusion, if you have been following his trajectory. Perhaps canonisation follows?
The question is, and should be, ‘Are you now, or have ever been a WEF Young Leader?’
‘Nuff said.’
The question is, and should be, ‘Are you now, or have ever been a WEF Young Leader?’
Add for wider relevance
“a member of the Trilateral Commission”
Consider as a catch all
“are you in the pocket of Rockefella or Rothschild “
Yes, surely, but that comes later, after the initial selection and grooming for the corridors of power. You can add Bilderberg to your list. They are selected either by family or from university. My eldest daughter for one. There is also the Club of Rome to consider.
I don’t know Todd, I’ll have to disagree slightly. Nationalism is the last bulwalk against Globalism, that’s why the Globalists hate it so much.
Without a bit of healthy Nationalism we would be subjected to the whims of the unelected EU blob and the whims of the unlelected, and convicted criminal, Christine Lagarde. Not to mention subject to the machinations of a foreign currency.
I’d much rather see the Union Flag flying, instead of that rainbow monstrosity. Without a bit of healthy Nationalism we wouldn’t have Traitors, well I guess we still would, but we wouldn’t be able to call them that.
There’s also a Nationalistic response to the “stand with this flag” (of another country) jingoism: That’s not my Flag. At the end of the (well researched) day, ALL wars are bankers wars.
I’m not a fan of our official National Anthem either, but our unofficial National Anthem still gets the hairs on the back of my neck standing to attention.
Land of Hope and Glory.
Nationalism has been turned into a pejorative word for the same reason that AFD lost the election.
The spectre of 1930’s Germany has been deliberately extended to slap down opposition to the communist utopia that is globalism.
Nation states evolved to provide increased financing and cannon fodder so that so-called “elites” could wage war on their rivals. That’s it. Everything else is just promotion and recruitment marketing A best of all world’s might involve a myriad of tiny, warring states – demarcated along the usual ethnic, linguistic, religious, racial, hate line fractures – overseen by one, nuclear colossus, to prevent us from blowing ourselves all to Hell. Perhaps that’s the idea behind the creation of a continental USA? As it stands, the present Canada “fervor” may provide a basis for a false flag event resulting in an American version of a SMO?
Yes, but the problem with the Canadian ‘nationalism’ that Todd is describing is that it’s fake. The sentiments may be real, but objectively, it’s more pro-globalist than pro-Canadian.
Exactly. The nationalism I am talking about is coerced by the agenda to achieve a particular effect. Pride in the country, controlled borders, etc, are all good things. But just like DEI is not about diversity, equity, and inclusion, this sort of nationalism is not about being proud of country and working hard toward a unifying concept of nationality.
so what they are all kissing the chosen ones arses anyway, wether it is the WEF stooges or the Orange stooge, in the end all the money flows towards their levantine overlords
National Anthems : 0.
Tchaikovsky: 10.
I find singing the Australian National Anthem squirmworthy.
Love of country (The natural environment) and the amazing kindness and generosity of people following natural disasters is something to be proud of.
Love of the flag and our willingness to send young people off to every single war over the last two hundred years is nothing to be proud of. Indeed it is shame worthy.
Exactly my point.
I also feel the same, ‘whether it’s ‘Advance Australia Fair,’ or ‘God save the Knig.’
I love my country and my government.
The feeling when you march proud together in a group for your Family, King and Fatherland, willing to give up your life for what you believe in. Nothing is more beautiful.
Sorry guys, but we are in majority and YOU are parentheses in our global development.

🎶Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to war we go🎶
The annihilation of the Buffalo almost to extinction was a stated act of war… They never looked back and took war around the world.
America rehabilitated the Buffalo. Always on our minds……………..LOL.
Post Humous rehabilitation eh , exterminate a people , steal everything they own then name a few Towns and streets after them and mint a commemorative Gold Coin…allow them to build a casino or two on their Reservation , thus further impoverishing and demoralising the survivors…
Exactly. We almost erased the buffalo to extinction, but made a gold coin to its memory. Had I been a buffalo I would be proud.
Satire again Erik ? , Family ,King and Fatherland come on pull the other One
Recently our PM Albanese , told Starmer he’s open to requests for “peacekeeping” troops in Ukraine ,Playing the tough Guy pre election, capitalising on anti Russian sentiment , now that Zelensky is some kind universal hero for supposedly standing up to Trump … I over heard people in the street talking about Zelensky”s heroic defiance of DT just yesterday , unbelievable that people buy such tenth rate theatre , Starmer apparently told Albanese “We can’t wait for Putin to come to the table”
Yes it certainly seems as though our biggest problem in potentially mounting any effective resistance is the putrid choreographed ,synced Globalist intel liaised Media …..
He wasn’t perfect by any means, but the only hope we have is another Whitlam.
Someone with guts.
There wont be anymore Whitlam’s he CIA saw to that!.. the Labor Party’s been coasting undeservedly on whitlam’s coat tails for decades ,its been Uni Party ever since..
Its absurd theater.
If the whole West can take this Zelensky clown serious in his coke sniffing used military outfit, then Trump is the only one in West who speaks a mature’s language.
The greatest enemy of nationalism is Zionism/globalism, with its capture and control of western governments and its brainwashed armies of socialist and communist minions. Global tyranny and depopulation loom. Todd’s fears of ‘nationalistic fervour’ suggest how deeply globalist mind control has conquered western intellects.
It is the agenda’s coercion that worries me, not a sense of national identity.
Zionism is just Jewish nationalism.
How can 17 million Jews concur the whole world? 1.8 billion Muslims maybe or 1.4 billion Chinese.
As usual the Left is bereft of logic: mind bending on pretzel level, needed when you run on raw emotions only.
I don’t think that 17 million could concur with each other far less get the whole world to concur with them.
Time for the programmers to give the bot known as “antonym” an overhaul. Its word selector is malfunctioning.
Without the City of London behind it, Zionism would never have amounted to anything.
Blame the Juice for yUK’s Black hole, typical projection.
Without oil & gas Islam would have ceased to exist today.
Without US/K capital the CPC would never have become an industrial monster.
If just a handful of these 17 mio people owns trillions of USD and buy people and governments, you begin to see through the smug and why, yes?
By the way, I am a little suspicious about this 17 mio figure. A little too close to 18 = 3 x 6 = 666 yes?
not that the pretzel logic of the woke right is that much better, currently trumpledore gives bidump a run for the money who is the creepier lunatic
Yes, but there are fake nationalisms out there that are actually controlled by globalists — modern Ukrainian nationalism being a perfect example, so beware: sometimes globalism masquerades as nationalism.
Donald Trump being a prime example , manufactured to mislead those most likely to oppose the Globalist project !
Todd, consider yourself lucky to live in a country that still respects itself.
The UK is now a country that hates itself and it’s past.
Well, the government does- along with a great number of handwringing Grauniadistas.
We have at least over four years of the current regime, who are tearing up the rule book to build millions of soulless shoe-box houses on our famously green and pleasant land and making the country a very unattractive place to invest with their far-left economic policies.
Whatever you think of the orange man and his advisors, they were right to criticise the free speech restrictions in UK.
Even if legally you have a degree of latitude on what you say, the feeling of being careful what you say and write is oppressive- I am being careful of what I write here.
Sure, there are voices of dissent but the government’s huge majority means that, for the minute, they are unassailable.
Maybe we should adapt the National anthem to be more like yours ?
O’ UK !
Todd has been programmed to believe that tyranny results from nationalism, not from Zionist internationalism.
Oh, you know so much about me, I shudder.
You’re always going to be just shy of the mark blaming everything bad on “the far left.” The truth is, there is no such thing anywhere in The West anymore as “the far left.” The farthest “left” you will find in The West is maybe a severed left hand that got thrown from a vehicle way into somebody’s pasture.
I believe that the “far right” have done some bad things.
However, the “far left” as we are witnessing in their first term in UK, are pursuing an unsustainable woke agenda which will destroy any real economic development.
God help us if they get another term and finish the job.
They’ll destroy a lot more than that. The “right,” at its worst, is misguided; the “left,” at its worst, is downright evil, perverse, and malicious.
Yes you are right. The far left went up in smoke in useful idiots on a green lgbt woke marihuana trip.
I think what you refer to is better termed the faux left than the far left.
Reminds me of the Americans renaming of French Fries to ‘Freedom Fries’ when Chirac didn’t want to shock and awe a whole country of random Arabs in Iraq.
Oh, how the French surrender monkeys political class have changed. They must have got the memo, since nowadays they can’t get enough of ‘moar war’.
‘America reaches all the way down to Tierra del Fuego.’
Hey, Canadians renamed sauerkraut “liberty cabbage” during WWI, AND WENT SO FAR AS TO RE-NAME BERLIN, ONTARIO, “KITCHENER” in order to disrespect and erase the historical origins and foundation of the community.
Is this really true.?
During WWI, in the US patriotic vigilantes occasionally viciously attacked dachshunds if they happened upon them outdoors– you know, to teach those dastardly Belgian nun-raping Huns a lesson.
I don’t know the history or full extent of another jingo euphemism, but in the US German Shepherds became “police dogs”. 🐕 🤨
@Ort: “German Shepherds became ‘police dogs'”. Meanwhile, in Britain, they became “Alsatians”
The US can thank their Zionist backed Communist Residents Woodcrow Wilson and FDR.
btw. AFDs Alice Weidel was right, Hitler was a brazen lefty, the Natsees called themselves National-Socialists not National-Anarchists.
The whole left-right paradigm is just a shitshow for the masses anyway, the real fight is individualism vs. collectivism.
In WWI and II the UK wanted the War as well to save their rotten Empire, the US was both times stupid enough to let the Tommies draw them into the war.
In the End WWII had four Main War Criminals: Churchill, Stalin, FDR and Hitler (who was just the Fallguy anyway), what Churchill and FDR never understood: they were both played by Stalin, who was in cahoots with his Zionist friends.
