Trudeau Government Single-handedly Destroying Tourism and Business Travel

[Dougie93]

It’s a fascinating part of the world, the Moorish stuff in Grenada, the oldest bull ring in Mijas, the rock of Gibraltar, the ferry to Morocco, beaches and senoritas of Costa Del Sol.  I know it well… Oh and the yachts in Marbella.  

kind of a young man's game

i certainly sowed my wild oats there

but I'm fiftysomething now, married 22 years

so I'd rather just stay home, grill some steaks on my deck

I don't have the money to waste on tourism in any case

we are on the brink of a financial & economic catastrophe

so I am just hunkering down, conserving resources

I wonder if your husband, if you have one, is a fortunate man? Just wondering. ?

I stay for the love of a woman

my wife refuses to leave Canada

I will however pass the time by agitating for a right wing revanchist overthrow of the Liberal Party of Canada

burn in a fire of your own making, Communist traitors

Well, glad your life burning in the fire of your own making, here in Canada which you hate so much.

revanchist away (?)

I only hate the Liberal Party of Canada

Confederation itself is just an agreement, nothing worthy of hate, I simply decline to defend it as a necessity

vive le Quebec libre

Well you may get your wish soon as Quebec defies federal services in both official languages while continuing to collect $13 billion in transfer payments each year from English Canada.  It’s become a situation of one nation-state financing the independence and special privileges of one sub national jurisdiction.  Trudeau Jr. has no sense of what’s at stake and no willingness to defend his own federal government.  Maybe that’s fine.  Not sure I care anymore.  Maybe we don’t bother with a federation anymore.  My family and millions of anglophone families have learned French and educated kids in French in our schools, as the Quebec government squashes the rights of anglophone Quebecers to services from the government of Canada in English.  How can anyone think this is okay?

I'm the luckiest man in the world because of her. 36 years .

[Queenmandy85]

I should say I don't wish for anyone to not travel. I love Norway and Switzerland. It is just that I love vacationing in Canada and I sort of take it for granted that everyone should follow my lead. ?

Not sure I care anymore. 

what are you even trying to save at this point ?

the knee jerk reactionary authoritarianism ?

the total subservience to centralized government having to run every aspect of your life ?

the monomaniacal  lecturing about Climate Change, Public Healthcare & Gun Control ?

Canada is lame, Canadians are twits

We compromise too much in Canada in the name of “safety”.  Too subservient.

the Freedom Convoy was the coolest thing ever done here

millions of people around the world were inspired

the first ever global Canadian event

and what did Canada do ?

crushed it under the jackboots of the RCMP secret police

for the utterly pathetic Liberal Party of Canada pseudo aristocracy

that is Canada

look it in the face

There’s a lot of beauty in Canada.  Muskoka may be the most beautiful cottage country in the world.  Ontario has the best boating in the world between the Rideau Canal, Georgian Bay, and the Thousand Islands around pretty Kingston.  Parts of Alberta have some of the most beautiful natural landscapes: Lake Louise, Jasper, Banff, etc.  BC has the best skiing in the world.  Vancouver Island’s old growth coniferous forests and old worldly English charm and beautiful weather…Quebec has beautiful European old cities and beautiful lakes, mountains, and skiing.  Newfoundland has many other-worldly gems.  Nova Scotia has Louisbourg, mountainous Cabot Trail, UNESCO ship-building Lunenberg, and of course the citadel city of Halifax.  Some say the far north has the most beautiful parts of Canada.  Never been.  Canada has rich French, Celtic, and over 200 Indigenous cultures.  You can also eat any food from any country and feel accepted no matter what your background just about anywhere.

However, I want to travel internationally as freely as possible, as I should be able to in a free country.  

Don't forget the North. I am off to Yellowknife this coming week.

I am travelling internationally. France in July is next and have to comply with their rules and requirements. If unvaccinated (which is what I think you are referring to) you need to have the same proof of negative PCR testing you do in Canada.

How is this different? The requirement for proof of vaccination when John Diefenbaker was Prime Minister or MacKenzie King, was the same. 

20 years ago, my son went to Mexico and had to get several vaccinations. In the 1970's, my parents travelled to Iran, Egypt, and Brazil on business and they needed to keep thier vaccinations up to date for each trip.

You know that you're lumping the Pflacebo in with actual vaccinations, right? Vaccines that actually work. Vaccines that have eradicated diseases. Vaccines which give you 100% chance of surviving against diseases that have far higher mortality rates than covid.

The Pflacebo doesn't stop people from dying, or from spreading covid. You know that, right?

I'll defer answering that to your physician.

none of those things are a product of Canada however

Canada is not an idea

Canada is not a metaphysical thing

Canada is purely material,  transactional

Canada is nothing more than the Confederation

the federal government bureaucracy and its associated cronies

that's all Canada is

well, I don't think it's that she loves Canada so much

she just refuses to move to America, in stark raving fear of raucous American freedom

but if I wanted to move to Switzerland or Belgium, she'd probably be down with that

[Dougie93]

Canada is not and never was the "love it or leave it" nation

like nobody in Quebec is nor ever was required to love Canada, and most of them don't really

again, Canada is transactional, Canada is simply a bureaucracy

so Canada pays Quebec $13 billion a year to pretend that Quebec is still part of Canada

and Quebec goes along with it, in order to pocket the cash

that is the transaction that the vast majority of Canadians make

they're just here to make some money in the company town on the edge of the wastelands

if they make enough money, they can buy passage to Florida to escape the GULAG

Sad but true.  Those with eyes to see know it.  Our emperor doesn’t realize he’s naked but everyone else does.  Look, nobody’s perfect, but when you won’t admit you’re wrong and correct your mistakes?  That’s where Trudeau shows his narcissism and sadistic nature.

Trudeau is not the exception

Trudeau is the rule

he is the essence of Canada

Trudeau is Canada,  distilled down to its purest form

It has had its moments of grand narratives, but people feel a lot more shame about Canada than they did before Trudeau Jr. was elected.  Why?  Until Canadians figure out how they’re being manipulated and squeezed by the current regime, they’ll accept echoes of narratives that increasingly ring hollow: Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Constitution, Bilingualism, etc.  Do they really matter to people?  Will they defend them?  Look at the Freedom Convoy.

You’re not allowed to board a plane in Canada if you’re unvaccinated.

the Freedom Convoy was naive

they were waving the Liberal Party of Canada flag,  singing the Liberal Party of Canada song

right before the Liberal Party of Canada crushed them under the RCMP jackboots

now they know the true face of Canada

you knew it was always going to turn out that way

they just had to find out for themselves

Yeah it was really awful what unfolded.  Revealed the distance between our government and the people.  The injustice persists.

they provoked the Liberals into revealing the true nature of Canada

in that there is no Canada left

there is only the Liberal Party of Canada

they rule with impunity above the law as an autocracy

Have you ever asked your family's doctor(s) this question? And I mean word for word.
