Once Trudeau leaves, the country needs to look hard at our constitution and parliamentary polices and never allow this to happen again. There’s no accountability in Canada.

[tonydamiani]

I've said for years that Canada needs a constitution where our rights and freedoms cannot be infringed upon.

When I first moved to Canada in 2014; it seemed to be a promising place with people having smiles on their face. Now nobody smiles. Everyone's pissed off.

[CSUnger]

t’s not just Canada. The entire formerly Christian West is now running on the fumes of our former liberties. He is exactly right that our children will suffer the consequences of our pursuing material prosperity over moral integrity.

I didn't think Canada would go down the tubes before the US, but that's what's happening. Wake up folks.

My nurse friend wanted to emmigrate to Canada from Australia, so found a job in a town called London. She said she worked 3 x 12 hour shifts a week, which wasn't enough, and she wasn't able to work more despite wanting to due to the bureaucracies running the show. She said the healthcare system was always short staffed, she was terribly underpaid (hardly any penalty rates compared with Australia), had to turn up early and stay back late for handover by 30 minutes each shift, unpaid, just expected, and an incredible amount of her salary had to be given to the union, which was compulsory. 

She knew of staff in the short time she was there that left Canada for the US so they could work more, get overtime and live a better life. Needless to say she came back to Australia after 6 months and said if she stayed there she would become the working poor.

TRUTH ! Trudeau must go !! We are doomed

[RuiR.]

Canadians should choose their leaders more carefully

I've had many discussions with the Mexican Consulate in Toronto over the last several years getting my ducks in a row for retirement and moving to Mexico. According to them there has been a massive spike in Canadians moving out of Canada to Mexico in the last several years. According to them Mexico is continuing to expect these large number for several more years. Canadian Covid restrictions, Inflation etc..etc... are the reasons. Even with Trudumb gone the damage has been done. Canada is and never will be the same .

Trudeau is a NIGHTMARE. Time for ALL Canadians to WAKE UP.

[dominicdurzo]

and trudeau still wants to 'finish' his work!

[moleahy]

I'm Canadian and in my early 50's. Recently retired and I've lived in the US for the past thirty years. My American wife and I had thought about moving back to Canada for retirement. Mainly because of the healthcare and currency exchange rate. But I've never liked Trudeau and when I saw how the government acted during Covid, how individual freedoms and rights were just thrown away, and how so many of many fellow countrymen just meekly obeyed and put their heads down like sheep, I said no way and no how. Remaining in the US.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected.

[clherms]

Drove through Canada last summer (B.C. and Yukon). It was shocking to me - so much homelessness; everything so expensive; a real lack of economic energy in the cities I went through. How do most people make it economically day to day?

[haruchai]

I would go further and say that all of Western society is a sinking ship.

[rudgirello]

Jordan is the conscience and intelligence of Canada. There are rather few things that remain to be proud of as a Canadian, but having Jordan as a compatriot is one, for sure. I stand by every word of his. Good people are running away from Canada and they are actively being replaced by those drawing Nazi symbols on Jewish stores in Toronto and demanding children be allowed to change genders because their school teacher thinks it is a great idea. In my opinion, all is lost, unless radical and swift measures are undertaken. Unfortunately, most Canadians are indifferent to everything: they simply do not care. And, it was exactly indifference and denial that brought the greatest dictators to power…

[janerichards]

This is a brave and powerful conversation. Jordan solidifies what most aware Canadians already know. I love this country. The destruction of it is heartbreaking. Thank you Brian for posting this.

[dougiep]

People in Canada could claim asylum in any country now.

[kevindarroch]

Thank you Professor Dr. Jordan Peterson.

[Rob-ik]

He is not wrong. Canadians try their best to believe in things will go back to normal. We need to start speaking up more.
