158-YEARS AGO – CANADA BECAME A CONFEDERATED COUNTRY IN 1867:
The Pride & Promise Of Canada As I Was Growing Up In The 1950’s Was Boundless . . . What Happened?
What Happened To Canada Over The Last Few Generations, Certainly since the End of WWII, is What was Happening to America Before the Return of Donald Trump to the White House.
CANADA HAS LOST ITS WAY:
Canada Morphed from a Country that Saved England During World War II with our Mostly Unarmed Merchant Navy, which Braved the Atlantic Ocean Against the Deadly Threats of Nazi U-Boats, for Canada to Deliver all Manner of Goods to England, As Pretty Much The Only Country That Was Able To Keep England Armed, Fed & Alive.
In Proportion to the Population of Rest of the Allied World During WWII, Canada Had the Greatest Percentage of Fighting Men Per Capita Amongst our Allies. And Canada was Everywhere, Long Before America Joined The War.
And Even Months Before D-Day, Canadians were Storming the Beaches at Sicily, Fighting our Way Up the Boot. And During the Invasion of Normandy, Canada, with our Diminutive Population Had our Own Beach to Storm, Juno Beach . . . As Our Troops Hit the Water, Charged the Beaches & Captured the Villages to Get at the Nazis, while Taking Withering Enemy Fire . . . We (Canada) Were Exemplary.
No One Ever Had To Ask . . . Where Is Canada? All They Had to Do Was Look at the Front, because When the World Needed Canada – Canada Was Always There.
WHERE IS CANADA TODAY?
We Are A Country Coming Apart At The Seams.
We Have Embraced Socialism. We Have Politically Divided Canada Between the East and the West. We Pretend to be a Bilingual Country, where our Major Language (English) is all but Illegal to Use Under Most Circumstances in the Separatist Province of Quebec. We Would Rather Talk the Talk than Walk the Walk as we Lecture the Americans on Civility, When We Won’t Even Pay Close To Our Fair-Share To NATO, That Was Promised At Just 2% Of Our GDP.
Our Canadian Military Is A Joke. Our Fighter Pilots are Flying Decades Old Fighter Jets that Have to be Cannibalized for Parts to Keep the Planes that Can Still Fly in the Air. Our Navy is Nothing More than a Glorified Coast Guard, and our Fighting Troops on the Ground are so Few & Ill Equipped, That At Best Our Brave Men & Women Are Suited To Be The Home Guard.
We Stopped Building Things. We Stopped Being Entrepreneurs. We Stopped Exploring. We Stopped Taking Risks, We Stopped Shooting For The Stars. We Stopped Trying To Keep Up With The Sharks . . . Instead, We Settled To Swim With The Minnows.
“THE 20TH CENTURY WILL BE THE CENTURY OF CANADA”
In 1904, While Rallying in Toronto – Canadian Prime Minister Sir Wilfred Laurier Said . . . “The 20th Century Will Be The Century Of Canada”.
We Stopped Instilling Conservative Values In Our Children, so they Could Grow-Up Strong & True to Carry the Banner of Canada, as we, the Boomer Generation which Followed the Greatest Generation Ever, Fades from the Scene as We Grow Old & Become Part of the History of a Country . . . That Should Have Been, Could Have Been & Will Never Be.
My Canada, The Canada Of My Parents . . . The Canada that my Russian Grandparents Chose to Immigrate to Over One-Hundred Years Ago, who Could Speak No English Nor French, just for the Potential to be Free & Equal, where they Would Have their Children & Assimilate in a County of Promise, Where That Promise Has Diminished Through Weak Leadership.
As A Jewish Canadian In A National Cesspool Of Anti-Semitism, Where Is The Promise For Me?
CANADA IS BROKE . . . HANGING-ON IN SEARCH OF SANCTUARY:
Now We Have A Prime Minister (Mark Carney) Who Talks Tough, Fakes his Fights to Get Elected, Picks Fights with America that Need Not Be, And Then Folds Like A Cheap Suit When The Real Fighting Begins.
WHAT’S TO BE PROUD OF . . . A MEDIA THAT LIES & WITHHOLDS THE TRUTH?
. . . Academia that Poisons Our Children Against the History & Values that Built Canada? Politicians who Serve Each Other & Themselves Far Beyond Honoring the Commitment they Made to the People they’ve Sworn to Represent.
People Who Strive To Be Mediocre, Live At The Expense Of The Those Who Sacrifice To Strive.
THIS HAS BECOME CANADA . . .
Those Who Can – Do . . . Those Who Won’t – Live Off The Labor Of These Who Will.
YOU CAN’T CELEBRATE A COUNTRY ON YESTERDAY’S DREAMS:
Canada is a Good Country with Good People, who Have Allowed Our Politicians to Fritter Away our Potential. And Knowing this, Where Do I Begin To Celebrate? To Celebrate What?
You Can’t Go Forward If You’re Catching-Up. And You Can’t Catch-Up If You Can’t Go Forward.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Amen Howard. Sad, but Trudeaus ( both) with communist ideology and friends have destroyed our dream.
Happy [What-Once-Was-Canada] Canada Day, everyone!
The main culprits in our demise is at the hands of snakes snakes with tenure and MBAs.
Trudeau – father and son destroyed Canada. Viva Alberta libre!
Sad, very sad. And if the U.S. isn’t careful, it will become a second Canada.
Not to me, it isn’t!
Your editorial is unfortunately, so accurate and true.
Amen, Howard. Amen!
I pray the day will come when Canada gets true, just, and honest leadership who cares more about the people of Canada than in lining his/her pockets with Canadian citizens’ money. I had hoped and prayed that Pierre Poilievre would be the next leader. I will continue to pray for the citizens of Canada and especially for all Canadian Jews. You CAN be great again.
Carney is a bureaucrat, always been appointed to positions, doesn’t have the leadership qualities Canada needs to move us forward. We need to move our resources, build pipelines, get an ocean port built at Fort Churchill Manitoba to ship our oil and natural gas and bypass Quebec, this can go on and on. It all depends on leadership ad especially guts
The leaders elected here in Canada are suspect. For example, Carney (as stated above by William Conlon) is a bureaucrat and does not have the “leadership qualities” Canada needs. It gets worse. The Premier of Quebec, Francois Legault, has made laws to BAN ENGLISH wherever possible and to minimize Canadians from other Provinces to attend Montreal Universities. Why? “There is too much English being spoken in Montreal.” – says Premier Legault.
Fantastic editorial Howard! I agree with William Conlon & Bruce Sutton. I believe that Carney is a bureaucratic idiot for what he has done to Germany & England…Canada is next! Pierre Poilievre next election to get Canada back on tract clean up the mess the LiEbrals have caused. One point Seven Trillion dollars in debt. The LiEbrals have caused the TRILLION in debt. the last TEN Years…what kind of debt will Carney cause in a year????
If Pierre Poilievre fails to get elected, Canada is lost. Two socialist PM’S, Trudeau’s ,have redirected Canada into a socialist state. By the way, the Canada day celebrations today were a farce. I didn’t watch much because I don’t speak french or Cree. Why does such a small percentage of Canada control the language. Then the order of Canada was presented to a crazed medical advisor, similar to the murderer,Morgenthaller, who killed many babies. Future citizens.It is hard to be proud.
I agree except that Canada is no longer a country of good people. Our election of Carney is proof of that. And don’t wait for Poilievre to be elected. He will not be. The Conservatives need someone who appeals to our emotions, not our ability to analyze current political, economic and social problems. In elections etc false emotional beliefs seem to win over boring rationalizations of policy.
So very true. I look at it from afar and may have an even sadder view of a “lost” cty. Fools electing fools and we all have paiy the price. The new regime? Pitiful. Trump may “save” the US. Canada is a lost cause. The White Knight doesn’t exist!
Make a copy of this and re-write it for the United States of America before Donald Trump. We were sliding on a greasy slope into Marxism. It is still here. Kamala’s father and Momdani’s father were both Marxist professors. How parallel can we be. We are awakening, but we have a bitter fight on our hands to get our country back. Hopefully Canada can find a true warrior llike Trump.
