Not to beat a dead horse here but is there any realistic hope for this country at this point? Any indicators things are changing? As a mid-40s single father without any significant wealth (less than $100,000) I feel trapped here and until COVID just tried not reading the news. The population replacement immigration policies, mass compliance with mandates, and Trudeau's reelection are the indicators for me. The positives I see are that the youth hate Trudeau as well and we may be able to get them to see what is really happening with COVID.
Things will not go back to the 'good old days'. Ever. That country is mostly gone now. But don't take that as there will be only suffering, because that is also not true. Here is where I see Canada going in the next 10 - 20 years. I will focus on the west, as that's what I know.
- Medium sized towns will see more immigration. Any agricultural regions will see heavy Indian immigration especially. They will continue to buy up farmland and local business like cheap hotels.
- Cities will continue down the path of classism. They will get even more expensive; Not just housing, but also for nearly everything else. Need a plumber? Kitchen reno? Expect to pay heavy sums.
- Globohomo will essentially run these cities by way of employment leverage. Can't handle 5000 poorly paid tech workers from Bangalore suddenly appearing in your central core? Then Amazon will move somewhere where the city will bend over backwards for them. Most companies in Vancouver & Toronto will be these types of globo corporates who have shown that they no longer need to hide that they run our countries.
The Corruption of Everything.
- White flight will increase to surrounding suburbs, conservative exurbs and clean, safe small towns. Many people who grew up rural, will go back to their family roots in their middle ages. Many small towns will greatly benefit from this if its done properly.
- Work From Home leftists will continue to flee cities to 'cool' small mountain lifestyle towns. These towns will become even more divided as the locals get shut out of their lives by woke policies of the urban refugees.
- Governments will start to turn their attention away from industry as the bills become due. Expect some industries to be allowed to operate - perhaps not with incentives, but not with pushback. The mining and gas industries come to mind.
- Supply chain issues will not be going away. Industries that use North American resources will be great places to be in the coming decades.
- Supply chain issues work both ways. Expect the demand for our resources to increase and governments will use these imbalances to their benefit. This may lead to war, but doubtful.
- China will continue to flood Canadian business, political and academic positions with CCP allies. There will eventually be pushback, but not until we come to terms with race. Again,
The Corruption of Everything.
- Canada's west will be greatly influenced by the US west. If there is any Balkanization in the Cascadia and Redoubt region, there will be a big push from many Canadians to follow suit. I could see the first City State's happening like this, with support on both sides. The biggest divide in North America right now is not race. Its urban/rural.
Saying all this I am optimistic. Working with your hands, understanding systems, having good and reliable friends and family and having faith in God are things that cannot be taken from you. Everything else is just stuff. So focus on your children and raise them to be the strong men that will put this ship back on course through the next decades.
