How will Canadians get out of the mess they are unwittingly in?

BY STEVEN KASZAB

To err is human to grovel is divine. Canada’s political parties have learnt much these past three years.

The Liberals have entered into an unofficial coalition with the New Democratic Party, their strongest ally. The NDP will be canvassing the Democrats on whether this coalition is benefiting Canadians, the NDP and the NDP leadership’s future.

In the other corner we find the Bloc Quebecois led by Y. Blanchet (12), the Conservatives with Pierre Poilievre’s grassroots montage (117), and a miniscule Green Party (2) calling Elizabeth May back to leadership. The opposition have said, “The enemy is not necessarily doing everything wrong. You may and should take their right tactics and use them to your advantage.” Grass Root Organizations – allied to the above-mentioned opposition parties – have been out front, face to face with Liberal Leadership, protesting the government’s policies and attempting to garnish media attention to their political allies.

Will a national election be declared next year? Perhaps. The pandemic is still with us, while the economy slowly grows. national, provincial, business and personal debt is extremely high, with bond and lending markets keeping a careful eye on Canadians and their establishments both political and financial. The Liberal Party maintains its promises to crunch climate talks internationally, while pulling needed revenue from its various marketplaces using green taxes and regulations unpopular throughout Canada.

Many of Canada’s political parties continue to evolve within this pandemic, politically charged legislator. Talking from both sides of their mouths, proclaiming the pandemic lies in the past and we must continue on, and issuing warnings of possible future virus infections with mini-pandemic follow ups to come. How will Canadians get out of the mess they are unwittingly in?

• The economy is so very slow, almost stagnating, or so the media wants you to believe.
• The pandemic will end eventually. When, who knows.
• Can the Conservatives persuade the NDP to drop their support for the Liberals? What would Jagmeet Singh get in return?
• Will the next election sweep the Greens and Bloc off the legislative board?
• Does anyone know how to jump-start our economy? All efforts so far have not been successful.
• Are Canadians prepared to pay excessive taxes in the near future? Someone has to pay.
• Is Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives a political solution to Canada’s woes, or another Trumpite want-to-be?

The most important question of all raises its unwelcome presence. Will Canada and the USA and ultimately North America face an oncoming recession? There are those who believe that the constant chatter about a recession may very well bring it upon us all. Therefore, we should speak no evil, see no evil, and hear no evil.
