  • You can have globalization in the rest of the market; we can import workers, we can import products for everything else but to be an actual nation you need self sufficiency in the aforementioned areas.

    Take cement for instance, most people would say we need cement to build infrastructure but what if we can’t produce it? Well we need to import it. However that then means all of our critical infrastructure relies on the good will of that other nation. They can do anything they want and we just have to take it because of the reliance.

    Another one would be oil, we need oil for our military/heating/infrastructure/plastics if Canada doesn’t have oil then to be a real nation we need to find an alternative. Now we do have oil which is great for the above…except we don’t refine it. Now we are a satellite of whatever nation can refine that oil, despite possessing oil in the ground we don’t actual have it.

    Both of those aren’t listed in the “needs” because we can either find it domestically (Cement) or have alternatives (nuclear/solar/wind/natural gas paired with batteries)

    The value of the dollar is meaningless if the government isn’t providing the necessities of life to the populace. If you rely on another nation for a necessity of life then you aren’t a separate nation. Markets come in for luxuries outside the necessities of life.


  • It will but we should find a leader who can rethink how our system works to care for ourselves.

    Why do we need exponential growth? Are Canadians not strong enough to take care of ourselves? All we really need is clean air, food, water, shelter, and a military. Figuring out how to achieve that ourselves is key to our continued existence.

    What about doctors? They need the above so that’s how they’re paid, and the same goes for any profession. A true leader is someone who can figure out how Canada can achieve the above ourselves.










  • Well said.

    AFTER CANADIAN LIEUTENANT ANDREW Leslie suggested Canada’s military might need a year to recover when its deployment in Afghanistan winds down in 2011, a broadcast nobody on Fox News exiled to the net- work’s graveyard slot decided to weigh in and casually insult us. “Isn’t this the perfect time to invade this ridic- ulous country?” host Greg Gutfeld asked his panel of guests in 2009. “They have no army!”
