Explanation
Again and again, Canadians have seen the following sights: The self-evident, absurd policies are dreamed of by ideologues implemented by bureaucrats and legislators with predictable outcomes and subsequently abolished.
The public sighs at ease, only to hear the announcement of new, ridiculous policies the next day. As Rudyard Kipling wrote, “The dog returns to vomit, the sow returns to her thief, and the fingers of the burning fool’s bandages return to the fire.” This cycle of absurdity means that the Canadians are able to get the legs It will continue until you drop it and stop accepting it.
In January 2023, British Columbia decriminalized “possession of small amounts of certain illegal drugs, such as opioids and cocaine.” Advocates argue that decriminalization of drugs reduces stigma among addicts, but negative outcomes were immediately apparent in communities across the state.
Public drug use has risen up in BC Parks, playgrounds, hospitals and streets, and police have had little request to stop it. As the small town councillor in Smithers said, “You can’t open a beer in the library, but you can smoke and shoot drugs.” By April 2024, the BC government was publicly rebeled. They fell into the process and moved to “make illegal drug use illegal in all public spaces, including internal hospitals, transportation, and parks.”
Ottawa’s immigration policy had similarly abrupt U-turns. In 2017, the federal government’s Economic Growth Advisory Committee recommended increasing the annual rate of new permanent residents to 450,000.
Following Covid Pandemic, the federal government has pushed the immigrant gas pedal even more vigorously, particularly with regard to international students and foreign workers. In 2023, Canada’s population grew nearly 1.3 million. 97.6% of that growth came from immigrants. Before Covid, it was 1949 that Canada’s population last increased over 600,000 in a year. That’s because Newfoundland has joined the Union!
Recent results at such high immigration levels have been immediate and devastating, including overwhelming housing, healthcare, schools, roads, public services, food banks, shelters. The federal government is now trying to reverse courses and “suspend population growth.”
U-turns reveal common sense deficits in adopting these polices. If ideas like decriminalizing cocaine use in the park or opening the door to 1.3 million newcomers a year, such as being pitched by ordinary Canadians sitting in diners or coffee shops, they would be heartily He would have been laughing.
Some ideas such as “refund the police” have been divorced from reality, so policymakers could have pitched them to schoolchildren’s classrooms and spotted policy flaws. The call to the Refund Police Department was strong during the widespread black lives protests in 2020 and during the widespread black lives protests, but has since been checked by the reality of rising crime. The city council is currently heading in the opposite direction, unveiling new employment drives like Toronto’s ambitious five-year plan, and employing hundreds more police officers.
These U-turns are not nearing fixing all the ongoing absurdities on display in Canada. Take time for drag queen stories at the public library. The majority of Canadians have grown-up men wearing sexual costumes with wigs and makeup that exaggerate women’s stereotypes, in a private setting like nightclubs, like all erotic shows You’d think it belongs and isn’t a complete exhibit for kids.
When some Canadians held demonstrations against Drug Queen Story Times in Calgary, the city council made a bylaw to prohibit protests “oppose human rights-related ideas or actions” within 100 meters of the library. It has been passed.
Although ideologies that lead to such absurdity are increasingly unpopular among the general public, they remain deeply entrenched in our institutions. A recent study by the Aristotle Public Policy Foundation has studied 489 job advertisements for Canadian university positions, 98% of which employ certain types of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to create a “response” that has been used to “such as: They discovered that they discriminated against non-exile directly or indirectly. Requirements or strategies.
The absurd ideology of neighboring facilities is perhaps most prominent on our school board. Last year, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) distributed an Educational Resources Handbook, which argued that “white supremacy is a structural reality,” and that it “needs to be discussed in the classroom and dismantled.”
On January 27th, TDSB staff members said they would “give students and staff based on colonial history” to three schools whose names are commemorating Henry Dundas, Egerton Dundas and Sir John A. McDonald. They recommended that the name be renamed based on its potential impact: the relationship between indigenous racism and systems of oppression.”
On another side, mall shoppers and show fans attending concerts may find that children must use gender lavatory, as forced at many schools across the country. Not there.
The absurdity on display at Canadian facilities remains unconfirmed until concern Canadians stop it by engaging in a democratic process. This comes in the form of contacting elected representatives, circulating petitions, running for school boards and mayors, and shaping grassroots movements with neighbors. These individual actions sum up and combine into powerful forces to restore common sense.
