Post 2025 Federal Election in Canada

8th May 2025.

I was idly half asleep this afternoon prior to my nap after watching the Russian 80-year celebrations of the ending of the Great Patriotic War (WW2 ) in Berlin in 1945 to which there were no representatives present from the allies of that time, when I had this thought about things happening in threes.

The threes are not related to the above celebration at all.

“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.” – C.S. Lewis

These three started in 2015 when an upstart third party drama teacher from an elementary school in Montreal made a promise to all Canadians that 2015 would be the very last first-past-the-post election in Canada, and we bought it and elected him to be the next PM.  Well, we all know how that worked out because the mandate given to the committee was flawed. They were supposed to come back with a recommendation but they did not do so, instead thanks to Scott Reid and his determination to hold a referendum there was no consensus of any kind on a new system, giving Trudeau the out he needed to go back on his solemn promise.

The truth often evades being recognized due to its utter incredibility  Pericles?

Next comes number two: the total scam of covid 19, which made a huge amount of money for Acuitas Therapeutics, out of the UBC which came up with the method for injecting a toxic, untested mRNA jab into people which the whole world mandated one way or another.  40% of this entity is owned by the Trudeau Family Foundation so 40% of the profits from a world-wide system equals a lot of money.  Naturally with all this money at stake the PM was not only a promoter of this jab but his hate speech towards those who opposed his dismantling of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms through the Freedom Convoy, lead to the peaceful protest in Ottawa which he absolutely refused to address or even listen to. This is one of the things he said:

“Today in the House all MPs unanimously condemned the antisemitic, islamophobia, anti-black racism, homophobia and transphobia that we have ever seen on display in Ottawa over the past number of days. Together. Let’s keep working to make Canada more inclusive.”   (Actually that was a lie as no such condemnation was made at all in the House that day) but the hate speech was ignored by the Attorney General (the defendfer of the Crinimal Code), as usual.

This whole mess ended eventually in an illegal application of the Emergencies Act, violent military suppression of peaceful protesters and seizing of citizens’ bank accounts.  No actions taken against this absolute evil use of power, and really none was anticipated because this PM was above the rule of law in Canada.

Kissinger quote from a speech to the WHO Council on Eugenics,February 25th 2009: “Once the herd accepts mandatory vaccinations, It’s GAME OVER. They will accept anything – Forcible blood or organ donation- “For the greater good”. We can genetically modify children and sterilize them- “For the greater good”. Control sheep minds and you control the herd. Vaccine makers stand to make billions. And many of you in this room are investors. It’s a BIG win/win.

“Do not mess in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy when roasted, and taste good with ketchup.” Polyphemus ?

Now we come to number three.  At a time when Trudeau was soo disliked by the people of Canada that it was apparent that the liberals might even not obtain party status, Jasmeet Singh (desperate for his pension) would still not bring the government down (although doing so would have probably guaranteed his pension through reelection) Trudeau did the usual liberal tactic, delay via proroguing parliament and resigning at the same time.  Great timing as TRUMP, the ever-threatening presence from the USA, was making some very strange speeches and quite clearly interfering in our forthcoming electoral process.  Out of the wings comes the unctuous, smug, “carbon tax Carney” to be greeted like a hero and made interim PM. The rest is history, in that there were more in the way of irregularities than ever before.  For example 86 fake candidates were approved by elections Canada in one riding (Carlton) with only 100 people giving them all permission to run.  I am told that in the byelection in Alberta they are proposing to have 200 fake candidates and they will if EC do not smarten up.

I am not blaming those who are resolved to rule, only those who show an even greater readiness to submit.  –     Thucydides

This result is heralding the new carbon taxes to come (including a proposed tax on home equity) and just like before these taxes will benefit the new PM financially.  That is what he is here for, to cripple Canada and make more money for himself.

I am still wondering what the pay back is for the thousands of politicians around the world to promote the hoax of man-made climate change. Is it monetary or just recognition of being stupid?  (Maybe in their minds it’s not being thought of as being stupid – who knows)

Climate change is real enough as it has been happening for millions of years without ANY assistance from Mankind, and yet here we still are.  Education on how to adapt to what is coming that we cannot change would be a much better idea than the absurd concept that a gas which is 0.04% of the earth’s atmosphere is going to end all life on the planet.

What we really need on this planet are people who are less interested in war and making personal monetary gain from us all they that cannot eat, and are more interested in enjoying and making the most of what we already have.

19th Century Cree saying      “Only when the last tree has died, and the last fish has been caught, and the last river has been poisoned, will they realize that money cannot be eaten”.

An idea for elections in Canada

General Elections in Canada have devolved into a very expensive farce.

The concept is that the people of Canada vote for those they believe will best serve their interests to Ottawa.  The actuality is that the vast majority vote for the leader who they wish to be the PM. 

During the election, people are listened to in order to manufacture the promises that will appeal to people enough to get their votes.  The realities have no bearing on what is promised, and the promises sometimes cannot be carried out, and often never were intended to be anything but simple vote catchers.

Once the election is over so is any pretense of democracy and we settle back into one man/woman, one party rule.  The method of voting every 4 years is actually not relevant to this situation as there is no interest by the parties in changing this way of conducting the nation’s business.   It is simply a means to obtaining that power necessary to line their future pockets by listening to the lobbyist.

The cost of running these elections is enormous and is of course paid for by those who are lied to and then cheated during the next 4 years, ie the people of Canada.   Did you know for instance that all successful political parties have their expenses repaid by Elections Canada?  Oh yes we are still paying through the nose for our farcical elections, even as some of us are denied the ability to vote – The “Un”fair Election Act of 2014.

So is there a way to bring democracy back or perhaps bring about real democracy at least? 

Yes there are several ways, but the one I like best was developed by a friend and I over several lunches a year or so ago.

First:

The number of ridings must be reduced to no more than 250 as 338 is way too many for every MP to have his/her say on anything. There simply is not enough time on any bill, and time seems to be the governing factor in both debates and committees. Thus the idea that there is better representation in numbers is simply ludicrous.

Second .

There must be a general election under any method, it really doesn’t matter which one.

Third:

On the first anniversary of that election there is an election on every week day in one riding after another, starting alphabetically perhaps, and lasting until every member has been re-elected or replaced.  Every anniversary of the election of 2019 for example the same process is repeated.   This only allows for 250 seats in the chamber if you factor in statutory holidays, which is more than sufficient for real representation, in fact 200 would probably be a better number.  The Speaker would also be up for reelection and would be the only one with an election date when the house was not sitting so that he could electioneer in his/her riding.  Should the speaker loose his/her seat then the first order of business the following sitting day would be the election of a new speaker.   If this proved to be unworkable then the Speaker could be the only MP to be reelected every 4 years, unless his/her constituents demanded a chance to replace an MP who could not vote on their behalf.

Is this expensive?  Not in comparison to the vast amounts spend currently by leaders flying all over Canada promising the earth and delivery dirt;  not by the national media  advertising by parties slamming the opposition and not by Elections Canada having to repay all those expenses.   There would be a maximum that any party could spend on any seat yet to be determined, but the main cost of those elections would be borne locally by the local EDAs.(Election District Associations)

What would happen under this system?

For starters if an MP did not pay attention to his/her constituents rather than party demands they would not get re-elected. The people of Canada could very quickly realise that they had power with their vote, and the interest and participation could well get close to 90%.

As there is no intention of doing away with the party system under this proposal, all parties, particularly the governing party would also have to pay very close attention, because if they did not a majority of 30 for instance could be lost in 15 days, and indeed the ability to hold onto even a minority government could be lost in short order.   Pay attention to the people of Canada or lose the ability to govern.   (There is another wrinkle to this I thought of which I will expand in another blog)

How would a government fall?   Simply by losing the confidence of the people of Canada and being voted out.  Nothing changes except the speed with which this can be achieved.

In the event such a change does happen then a 2 week suspension of the House would take place for the change of power and rearrangement of the seats, but the mini elections would still continue during this time.  Over a period of time governing parties have grown stale and we all know they need to be replaced, but this avoids waiting for 4 years for fresh ideas.  In the event of a constant minority government and a vote of non confidence in the House, there would be an automatic suspension of the House for one month, during which the mini elections would continue to see if the people of Canada agreed or not and what the new alignment would look like.  There would not be any mass national advertising by any party to try to influence the outcome of the mini elections. News media would be sufficient coverage.

Democracy means that it is the people who control government not the government that dictates to the people, and this system would certainly make that happen.  Listen to the people and persuade them that an action is to their benefit or suffer the consequences.  There will be no more hiding of actions and anything against the people would bring an almost instant reaction.   The TPP, TiSA or CETA for instance could bring about a government change almost right away and send a very clear, in fact unmistakable, message to all wanna be governments that the people of Canada will not give their sovereignty to corporate board rooms around the world.

To those who say this would bring chaos, I say bring it on because out of chaos comes beauty and even perfection.  Have you ever been entranced by a fountain or waterfall, or the rain drops on a puddle, or the wind’s actions in the trees and plants and grass?   They all survive and indeed often thrive in such chaos.  In the same way once the people of Canada – or any country that follows our lead – understand the power they should have and indeed will have under this system, anything undemocratic will simply not happen.

The other beauty of this system is that there will never again be a 4 yearly farce called a General Election, and every mini election day small registered Canadian parties will have a chance to prove their worth, and indeed could well get enough members in the House to be able to have some effect.

The more I think about this the more I like it, and the current way of doing politics in  Canada is totally broken, as shown by the influence wielded by the corporate lobbies in almost every aspect of our lives.

Bring on chaos and bring on change.  It is overdue.
