The federal government is pushing Quebec to become a bilingual province

Quebec is in a precarious position. On the one hand, it wants to preserve the French language and culture. On the other hand, the Federal government wants to legislate bilingualism, contrary to Quebec's trying to keep its linguistic heritage from being watered down. Facing this contradiction, Quebec has two choices. Either separate from Canada and become its sovereign state and maintain its cultural and linguistic heritage or stay in Canada and be held accountable to the government of Canada and run the risk of losing its identity as a distinctive society. Should Quebec choose to separate, it would have many challenges to overcome, which could take years to resolve these challenges. It is unlikely that Quebec would have the stamina or tenacity to engage in a long-term battle to separate.

Le Québec est dans une situation précaire. D’une part, il veut préserver la langue et la culture françaises. D’autre part, le gouvernement fédéral veut légiférer sur le bilinguisme, contrairement à ce que le Québec tente de faire pour que son patrimoine linguistique ne soit pas dilué. Face à cette contradiction, le Québec a deux choix. soit se séparer du Canada et devenir son État souverain et maintenir son patrimoine culturel et linguistique, soit rester au Canada et être tenu responsable devant le gouvernement du Canada et risquer de perdre son identité en tant que société distincte. Si le Québec décidait de se séparer, il aurait de nombreux défis à relever, ce qui pourrait prendre des années à les relever. Il est peu probable que le Québec ait l’endurance ou la ténacité de s’engager dans une bataille à long terme pour se séparer.

It is Okay to Shit On Justin Trudeau

 
It's excellent to shit on old Justine Trudeau. Simplifying complex problems to just one person are somewhat naive and short-sighted.

The reality is that geopolitics is much more complicated than just Trudeau.

Look at who attends the G20s, G7s and any other summits that they attend. Representatives from the Financial institutions, Businesses, the Military, and the list goes on.

The only way to bring politics back to the people would need collaboration from our American Neighbours as well, and that is to hold a general strike and do a run on the bank (withdraw all your money). While these are draconian measures, they are effective. The only way to make a capitalist understand is to hit them in the pocketbook; the only two concepts they know are black or red.

Of course, where they made the concept of terrorism so broad, one could go to jail for organizing a general strike and a run on the bank.

We elect officials to represent the people's interests, not the wealthy and powerful.

We have a plutocracy, not democracy, as we are led to believe.  

The only way to counter representation for the financial institution and business interest is by general strick and a run on the banks.

Bring Government back to the People.  

New Brunswick is easy to study. You have one oligarch, the Irvings. According to CBC, "Ottawa is giving $21.2 million to Irving-owned New Brunswick Southern Railway to upgrade rail terminals in Saint John and McAdam to allow the company to load, unload and ship products more quickly."  According to Forbes, Irving having an excess of 48 billion dollars, could bankroll that himself, but instead, we, the taxpayers, are on the hook to pay Irving to pay homage to his business model.

Russia the perfect strawman

(May 22, 2022) The argument that Russia is responsible for the higher prices in Canada is a straw man argument, considering that Russia is a minor player in exporting oil to the western world. Russia's oil export may have a significant impact on the European countries. Why are we generally paying gouging prices for fuel if that is the case?

The more severe consequence of the inflated energy prices to power our vehicles is the exorbitant price for diesel fuel. The high diesel price can cascade the additional cost throughout the economy where we, the consumer, have to shell out our earnings to pay for most of the goods that we buy.

Unless the working class is unionized and the cost of living is included in their contract, their income will be adjusted to reflect the increased cost of living for non-unionized workers. Canadians will either have to work more hours to compensate for the increase in the cost of living or lose buying power. What about our Canadian Seniors who are on a fixed income. What options will they have? The future does not look too promising for them.

As mentioned earlier, many factors have to be considered besides Russian oil reserves. The western world has little or no dependencies on oil from Russia, unlike our European counterparts. So why is the price, especially diesel, so high?

The stakeholders set prices such as OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries), The New York Mercantile Exchange and other investment institutions.

Canadian governments, Federally or Provincially, are reaping additional revenue through the base tax; the GST/HST has no incentives to intervene. You have to keep in mind that our elective representative represents the financial interests of the money people first and, every once and a while will throw a bone to Canadians to keep them quiet.

There is a dark side to this story. It is known that the airline industry will hedge, which means settling at a price for their fuel at a current price (while the fuel price is low) which allows them to keep their airfares to a minimum. However, it is possible that the significant fuel distributors hedge as well. The difference between the airlines and the fuel distributor, including mega trucking companies, is not passing the lower fuel price to the consumer even though they pay less than the Canadian consumer. In other words, they are milking it. They don't give a rat's ass that they contribute to inflation. It is not their problem.

The reality is that they are working against themselves because inflation affects consumer spending. If the Canadian consumer is buying less, the manufacturing industry has to scale back production resulting in layoffs. So an economy that is doing well can fall behind very quickly if Canadian consumers are not buying.

What is the solution that puts control back into the consumer's hands? There are two strategies one, initiate a general strike and run on the bank, meaning you go to withdraw all of your money from bank x, y, z.

Extreme measures for extreme corporate greediness, while draconian, it will work. The only way to make a capitalist understand is to hit them in the pocketbook.
