I’m from France. This election has really opened my eyes. I simply had not grasped the level of tyranny exercised by the media, big tech etc. I’m doing my share too. I’ve contacted your Senators, have explained that POTUS victory meant victory for us too, that our future and freedom depend on yours (I truly believe it) and that they have to fight and stand with us. I have thanked judges, even though they are only doing their jobs. I have thanked Mo Brooks and Tommy Tuberville. I speak to people, show them times when the media conveyed fake news. Not all care to listen but some do. I have registered on Twitter, thought I’d be a digital soldier, but got banned (you can say things like “Trump won!” but you can’t state facts and the Constitution - the irony if it, I know-, or your account gets restricted, so I’ve abandoned that pathway. I have also registered with a political party and have given money to it too. I’m doing my share as you’re all doing. It’s a fight worth fighting. It is tiring and time-consuming but when I kiss my son goodnight, I know that I owe it to him to fight, so that his world is a good one to live in as a future teenager and an adult. I’ll see you tomorrow in the morning. Keep up the good fight. Good night, pedes.

I wish you were right, but I highly doubt it—and I’ll tell you why.
Canada’s population is mostly found in large cities/metro areas. 81% of the population live in urban areas. 1/5 are in the Greater Toronto Area, alone.
Urban areas tend to be more left/liberal, for a variety of reasons. Cities also make people weaker: they become dependant on the service industry, don’t know how to work with their hands. They become more “cerebral” (academia, theory, etc), and are thus susceptible to the novel, fleeting ideologies of the day. They become susceptible to “innovations” in culture and morals.
Canada has a very hokey feel about it—we view ourselves as a large country with a small population who are “down to earth friendly people who can do no wrong”....and thus we are naive. We have never had to fight for anything in our lives. We are fat, flabby and content with government handouts. We trust the TV and Trudeau.
In short, the political culture just isn’t there. It was, once upon a time...but I just can’t see it happening without something major happening.
Very well put. 100%
