Given the undemocratic measures against …
Folks,I believe a great number of people mistakenly believe that all electors are mostly rational, that, most electors make their decisions based on the facts, are curious and involved in political matters, are civic minded and genuinely concerned about their fellow citizens’ welfare, and are evaluating, rational, critical thinkers. Sadly, a substantial number are not.Consequently, when electors are provided rational thoughts, research, facts, and exhaustive examples of where things are going off the rails—one should not be surprised nor aghast when these electors ignore such rational thoughts. Sadly, the going off the rails doesn’t seem to matter to a substantial number of electors, Why?Well, the evidence seems to suggest that “a great number” of electors make their decisions based on emotionality and ignore the facts. One can, if they are curious, see this everywhere, for example: 1. In politics, it seems, too many electors vote not for policy and good governance but because the candidate (he/she) seems nice, he/she is good looking, male/female, he/she had nice parents, Trudeau has nice hair, he/she is well educated, he/she is gay, he/she is a BIPOC, he/she is Christian/Muslim/ Buddhist/Jewish,…………., etc.—this isn’t rational; 2. In education, too many “educators”now ignore meritocracy and accept people into engineering, medicine, law, sciences, being a airline pilot, etc. based on the emotional tenets of affirmative action—this isn’t rational, if Canadians are truly looking for the greatest level of competence in the profession, and, make no mistake, Canadians should be; 3. In sport competitions too many organizations are now ignoring the advantages males have over females, and depriving females of sports awards, scholarships, and employment opportunities, based on the fact that a male declares himself a woman—this isn’t rational; 4. In the prison system too many “wardens and administrators” are now supporting housing males with females, based on the fact that a male declares himself a woman—this isn’t rational; 5. In Canada, it appears, Canadians now have a federal cabinet determined by one’s sex—not competence, meritocracy or applicable experience—this isn’t rational, if Canadians are truly looking for the greatest level of competence in the cabinet; 6. Canada just injected approximately 80% of Canadians with Experimental mRNA injections that weren’t properly tested; Canadians haven’t the faintest idea of the negative long term fallout, ignore the myriad of deaths and injuries these injections cause, and refuse to acknowledge the mountains of evidence that show these injections are a disaster in the making—this isn’t rational; 7. Canadians have a health/education/housing/infrastructure/immigration/Cost-of-Living crisis developing, such is too often ignored, discounted, and, too often, denied by too many in leadership roles—this isn’t rational; 8. Canada has approximately 8000 plus Canadians dying from drug overdoses every year. This is a major crisis and such is being ignored, discounted, and, too often, denied by too many in leadership roles—this isn’t rational; 9. Canadians have ceded and seeded its K-12 and University System with too many teachers and professors who are avowed marxists that indoctrinate and propagandize vulnerable, malleable student youth. Canadians, ironically, are using their tax dollars to destroy their way of life,—this isn’t rational; The point, one can accurately conclude that, based on the present trajectory of emotionality being the primary influencer, the preponderance number of peoples of Canada will not “rationalize” their way out of this developing crisis. If a substantial number of people make irrational decisions, and obviously they do, one cannot get them to change by expecting them to be rational. One, sadly, need only look at a number of family members, and prior friends, to establish their irrationality regarding the Covid-19 injection. They, unfortunately, allowed fear, and economic circumstances, as the justification to accept an injection that could literally kill them, cause severe injury, maim them for the rest of their lives, or hasten their death— —this isn’t rational. One could list many more but this should suffice to make the point of irrationality.As many of you are aware, I have argued for decades that a society/civilization will erode and eventually fail/implode, if it doesn’t have the essential common beliefs, values, ethics, morals and principles (BVEMPs) to “glue” it together. People are, in the main, driven by customs, religion, values, culture, beliefs, and their concept of morality. Without these essential “BVEMPs glues” there will be minimal, if any, beneficial civic initiatives that bind them together for the common good. Too many Canadians are presently living in a delusion, oblivious to the fact that western society is being manipulated and controlled by a relatively small percentage of the population, within and outside the respective country. This has occurred because too many citizens are inward thinking, will not embrace their civic responsibility, have eagerly given their rights and freedoms to the state, are only too willing to kick the corroded, especially the massive and growing out-of-control debt can down the road to their most “valued” possession, that is, their kids. Finally, Western Civilization, certainly Canada, is declining at a rapid rate and many allege and are convinced that the first Trudeau, with his multiculturalism idealism and penchant for authoritarianism, and the present Trudeau, with his incompetence, virtue signalling, ignorance and authoritarianism, are two (2) of the major catalysts in this decline. One can and should be disappointed (not surprised), and flabbergasted by too many electors‘ irrationality that shows and grows itself every day, by those who are supposedly well-educated and “principled.” Food for thought.
