WATCH: Brian Lilley talks about Canada's Breaking Point...
Full discussion with authors of a new book on the Big Shifts putting Canada at risk.
Back in 2013 two very smart men, Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson, released a book called The Big Shift. You may have heard about it and the predictions it made about power in Canada shifting to the suburbs and shifting to Western Canada.
It also popularized the term “Laurentian Elite” which is used by so many of us and despised by the Laurentian Elite, especially those in the media.
Now they have a new book out called Breaking Point: The New Big Shifts Putting Canada at Risk.
I had the chance recently to sit down with both of them for a long form interview about the book and their ideas. We talk about where Canada is, where it is going and what to look for.
Hope you like it.
Remember, if you like the interview, you can purchase the book here.
I enjoyed hearing these two authors being interviewed. As a canadian who has lived abroad for 45 years, i have noticed a huge shift in canada that was not mentioned in this interview. Canadians have prided themselves on "not being a melting pot like that horrible usa" down south. However, during the trudeau regime, the pop. of canada was increased from approx 30M to 40M (don't hold me fast to those exact numbers.) if you include that no one in canada thought these folks should assimilate and develop some canadian patriotism...well you got a big problem there. Add to that, that canadian education programs, cultural normals, and govt indoctrination has convinced more than half the country that they are evil colonizers. Convinced the indigenous people that they are just pathetic victims....at the same time that the govt did nothing to help the indigenous people with their very real problems, like clean drinking water...ok...i won't even touch on the murdered children story... add in trucker convoy division, hatred of antivaxxers, covid lockdown division, DEI policies designed to create division...the new trendy hatred of jewish people and christians. how does this kind of "nation" come together with a cohesive plan that everyone can sign on to? So much easier to point south and say: orangeman did it...or even if you are half awake: trudeau did it...no...canadians did it to themselves. It was a great country. But now, after years of penitent land acknowledgements, you are also going to have the legal battles over indigenous land claims...not looking good for canada.
I find it interesting that, when speaking of Mark Carney and his abilities to unite the country, there is no mention of the globalists' agendas that he very much believes in and still champions. This is his most serious fault as the country's leader and it has serious ramifications for Canadians. When Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson talk about the PM having to capture a "Sir John A Macdonald moment," that is simply a moot point with Carney. I suggest the challenge as Carney sees Canada's current condition is not about building our nation but rather how to manage it for global, supranational causes. His globalist approach to Canada's issues clouds our natural resources development, fiscal approach, environmental policies, foreign affairs matters, and even our health care policies vis-a-vis pandemic preparedness. Carney's adherence to globalist agendas do not have the best interests of Canadians at heart - and, should he get his way, that will surely be the country's breaking point.
