For example:  <\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Canada is not a democracy.<\/strong>  It is nearly a totalitarian society, frighteningly close to a dictatorship.  The proof is overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Canadian sovereignty no longer exists.<\/strong>\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Canada\u2019s demise is certain<\/strong>.  There is so little love of individual freedom among the majority of her citizens that her destruction is unavoidable now.  Freedom is never debated here. It is taken as a given.  That assumption alone will destroy the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter ten years of struggle to document what has happened, <strong>I find myself far more disillusioned with the general populace<\/strong> than I am with Canada\u2019s leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every one of these observations \u2013 now made explicitly clear to a majority of Canadians &#8211; applies to Canada in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>While Armstrong did describe the necessary condition to preserve freedom, (\u201cit can only exist in the heart and soul of each citizen devoted to preserving it\u201d) he lamented that \u201c<strong>most people in this society have no idea what personal freedom is\u2026<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Armstrong\u2019s analysis of the state of the Canadian nation is anywhere near as accurate as were his predictions, <strong>Canadians fighting for freedom today may be fighting for a lost cause \u2013 mainly because they\u2019re outnumbered by Canadians fighting against freedom.<\/strong> Under these circumstances, Canada&#8217;s state of tyranny is a done deal and has been so literally for decades, thanks to Canadians themselves.<\/p>\n<p>But the plot thickens when one realizes that <strong>this state of affairs is not uniquely Canadian, but global.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, no matter the past, <strong>history is always in the making<\/strong>.  For those who value freedom, the challenge is to culture a love of freedom that will find its way into the hearts and souls of others who have no idea what personal freedom is &#8211; by first placing it into their minds.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe then the country could be put on a path that is Just Right, assuming it isn\u2019t too late already.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/753-topics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/topics.gif\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/753-clips-credits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/clips_and_credits.gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you found this presentation valuable please consider supporting us:<br \/>\n&#x1f9e1; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/justrightmedia\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PayPal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1995, Canadian historian Joe C.W.
