Prophets of the System

My previous column was about the May 27, 2025 opening of the Canadian Parliament by King Charles the Third. The show was a reaction to President Trump starting his plan to annex Canada to the USA which he deems pending since 1812. Because the yanks like to try again after they fail; and because Trudeau failed to Apologise & Pay for the 1812 refusal to surrender Canada to the Pax Americana cause. To make the long story short, our current Leader sent for the King to come over to save the day for us from Trump. The King came, went to the “House down there on the Hill, (Norman DePoe ©) and read for us and Trump a synopsis of the war plan. I reviewed it in my last column and was impressed by some of its content, I am left in doubt by others, hence the paper at hand.

I will re-read from the transcript:

* “The system of open global trade that, while not perfect, has helped to deliver prosperity for Canadians for decades, is changing. Canada’s relationships with partners are also changing.”

The system the King refers to is the Free Trade Agreement between Brian Mulroney and the USA. This wording being intentional, meant to suggest that it was more than the Canada – USA – Mexico pact. Mulroney and his handlers faced with strong public objection to the FTA came up with a diabolic scheme of Public deception. Even we who push the FTA, do not really know what it is, they said. So do not ask us to explain it and do not listen to those who reason out that it is bad. Free Trade is a sweet dream, an item of faith, an opportunity to grab and surely it is not a devil to reject. Let us be brave and do it. After all, if it does not work, we can drop it. Thus they lied to us and stole Canada from us. Yes, knowingly and willingly incapacitated us to recognise the Devil, they stupidified us so that we could not resist their stealing Canada from under our feet.

The assertion that the “system of open global trade”, (this wording used in lieu of FTA, NAFTA, CUSMA, etc) “while not perfect, has helped to deliver prosperity for Canadians for decades”, is deceptive. It distances it from Canada, and refrains from measuring the “deliver[ed] prosperity”. Better said, it hides the “stolen prosperity”.

I remember a semi truck-trailer owner-operator interviewed sometime after the enactment of NAFTA. “It keeps me forever rolling he said, hauling Canadian candy to California and American candy to Canada”. It caused economic growth, equal to both free trading partners. Every one gains, no one lost and prosperity flooded all.

The King then asserts:

“Building new relationships with the United States and the world

The Prime Minister and the President of the United States, for example, have begun defining a new economic and security relationship between Canada and the U.S., rooted in mutual respect and founded on common interests, to deliver transformational benefits for both sovereign nations.”

If indeed Mark Carney and Donald Trump are secretly conspiring to produce “benefit for both sovereign nations” Mark Carney should break out of the dungeon and make friends with us. We have reason to mistrust politians and a duty to examine them like the cardinals who assess the masculinity of every Pontiff to be.

It is quite easy to do it safely. All we need to do is to start where Mulroney left off. Lets evaluate the half-century of life under free trade. This must be done in the open. Entirely in the Open ...

I will start it myself by reminding you that before Free Trade one parent working in the market would be able to raise a few offspring in a bungalow with a backyard and a plum tree. Under Free trade, it takes two parents working in the market to raise one child in a condo reinforced concrete balcony ... Prosperity?
