Canada Stands Alone

And Must Stand Together
A reckoning is here. You can feel it. Like the low thunder of history repeating itself. Borders blur, alliances fracture, power consolidates. Fascism isn’t at the door... it’s inside the house. In the U.S. they’re polishing the boots again. Israel grinds Gaza into dust, while it throws rockets with Iran. Putin grins while the world burns, and Ukraine, like too many others, desperately fights for its right to exist. The IDU gathers old flags under new acronyms. Meanwhile, Carney courts coronation. This isn’t just about who leads Canada. It’s about whether Canada leads at all.
This is not left vs. right. This is sovereignty vs. submission.
Because the idea of Canada — the actual project of our own egalité, fraternité, liberté — is being dismantled by global actors who believe capital is above conscience. Mark Carney is proving he is not a candidate. He is a capitulation. A Trojan banker. And if we allow his uncontrolled ascent, we don’t just install a politician. We ratify the end of what Canada has stood for since Confederation.
He is showing himself to represent the end of the citizen, and the beginning of the client. Harper in sheep's clothing.

The erosion of Canadian identity is systemic. It’s not just political, it’s infrastructural. Here’s how:
- Policy Capture — Our governance is outsourced. Regulatory frameworks aren’t designed to protect Canadians. They’re engineered to accommodate foreign capital, hedge funds, and multinationals.
- Media Consolidation — Legacy media has collapsed into the lap of its funders. The news no longer informs. It performs. Dissenting voices, even centrist critics, are algorithmically buried or publicly shamed.
- Economic Extraction — We are an extraction economy, not just in minerals, but in talent, time, and trust. Young people leave. Entrepreneurs sell. Capital flows one way... out.
- Sovereignty Erosion — Our defence policy is dictated by. Our foreign policy is a faxed copy. Our economic policy trails. We don’t lead. We echo.
This is not federation. It’s franchise.
Deployment Path:
So what do we do?
We restore strategic sovereignty. Not isolationism. Integration... but on Canadian terms.
- Reclaim the Commons — We must enshrine health, education, and digital infrastructure as unassailable public goods. Not “services.” Assets.
- Forge Strategic Ties with the EU — We need a second axis of democratic alignment. One not chained to America’s descent into theological capitalism. Europe still strives to uphold the primacy of law, reason, and reparative justice.
- Codify Canadian Doctrine — Not just a Charter. A commercial constitution. One that protects against capture, extraction, and monopolistic manipulation. One that names who we are, and what we refuse.
- Install New Institutional Intelligence — Our current structures are obsolete. We need compression engines in government, public AI deployments, and autonomous audit systems to eliminate bureaucracy, reduce latency, and restore trust.
- Export Canadianism as Infrastructure — Not syrup and snow. Structure and standards. Offer the world a model of reasoned governance. Of distributive power. Of modern democracy, not exported through war, but installed through example.
This isn’t about Carney.
It’s about whether you still believe in the thing we were building.
Because maybe we never finished Canada.
Maybe this is our founding moment. Not of territory. But of intent.
If we don’t define it now... someone else will.
Not with ballots.
With balance sheets.
This is the line. And it will not be crossed quietly.

They didn’t steal Canada.
We gave it away. For pension fund yield and polite compliance.
You don’t fix that with votes.
You fix that with borders, doctrine, and refusal.
