From: "John Feldsted" <jfeldsted@shaw.ca>
Subject: Leftist discord

Democracy has been hijacked by vocal �protest� groups in print, on-line media and public forums.

The common denominators of these groups are censorship, discrimination and intolerance.  They refuse to allow anyone to voice an opinion that differs from their ideology.

If you disagree with lib/left group, your character is immediately attacked. Members of the group are intent on silencing you. Rational counter-argument or debate are not considered.

A growing number of people shelter in closed groups where all participants agree on an issue and are closed to dissenting opinion. They incorrectly claim that �everyone� shares their world view. When they are confronted, they march undeterred down hypocrisy road.

We are losing our thinkers; the people who analyze issues, research facts and seek a rational position. Lib/left ideology is centered on feelings and ideals rather than facts and issues. Personal responsibility is treated as an illness rather than an obligation.

Lib/left people never tire of telling us that we must be diverse, inclusive, and tolerant while they practice bigotry, exclusion and intolerance. They divide our society by income categories, rendering the lower classes to lives of poverty, maintain a middle class through taxation and reserve power and position for the elite upper class.

The lib/left is never called on their hypocrisy. When protest groups gather to stop someone from voicing an opinion or position they disagree with, the attack on our freedom of expression, their bigotry and intolerance are not part of the media presentation.

University activists, who act as a mob of thugs, invoke censorship with impunity. When they protest and threaten riots to stop a world leader (Benjamin Netanyahu for one) from speaking, their intolerance and bigotry is palpable � but not criticized. These students hope to graduate and join the elite class, to become our future leaders. That is frightening.

Our universities have become highly politicized. Students are encouraged, and in some cases coerced or intimidated, to accept leftist ideology without the critical analysis that universities should be teaching. This is disturbing as therein lay the seeds of the closed groups referred to above.

Passive acceptance of lib/left ideology must stop. Those of us right of centre must call out the lib/left for the bigotry and intolerance they practice. The days of do as I say, not what I do, must end.

We must protest the protest groups by demanding that our laws on unlawful assemblies be enforced. We need to write and comment to the media on left/lib actions that are bigoted, intolerant or abusive. If we fail to speak up, we are accepting the lib/left double standards and hypocrisy. We have been door-mats for too long and need to stand up to lib/left bullies. Their �sunny ways� must end.

Subject: Statement by the Prime Minister on International Day of Democracy

Ottawa, Ontario
September 15, 2017

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement to mark the International Day of Democracy:
“Equality is vital to a thriving democracy, and Canada reaffirms the need to work to change the severe disparities that exist in our world. To address these gaps, Canada and all UN member states adopted the ambitious 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The agenda provides a framework to eradicate poverty, protect our environment, and promote human rights. Our countries – and our world – are stronger and more peaceful when all people can make their voices heard, and when everyone’s rights are protected.

“Today is also the launch of Elections Canada’s Democracy Week, a time for all Canadians, especially young people, to get engaged in the democratic process and talk about what democracy means to them and their communities.

“On behalf of the Government of Canada, I call on all Canadians to get informed and involved. By using our voices as forces for positive change, we can strengthen democratic norms and institutions in Canada and help make democracy a reality for all people around the world.”

The statement that “Equality is vital to a thriving democracy” is not true. A democracy thrives on equality of opportunity. Effort, energy, ingenuity and risk are rewarded. The result is an unequal sharing of blessings that is part of a free and democratic world. We make choices and live with the results. Trudeau does not believe in equality as evidenced by his constant referrals to the ‘middle class’ as he and others discriminate based on income level creating a classed society. 

Equality of wealth is the aim of socialism, and too often ‘equality’ is taken to means something far more than the absence of discrimination. Envy and greed paly a significant role in the current interpretation of equality.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery” – Winston Churchill.

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money” - Margaret Thatcher.

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." - Thomas Jefferson

"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." - H.L. Mencken

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him, better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt." - John Adams

"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." - Winston Churchill (This observation also applies to a nation trying to spend its way into prosperity.)

“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” - Benjamin Franklin

“We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much” - Ronald Reagan

A government cannot impose equality except by ignoring democracy and ruling as an autocracy. Canada must lead by example and maintain a strong, representative democracy. Our elected representatives matter – all of them, not just those who sit in Cabinet. The opinions of backbenchers and opposition members matter in a democracy.

We are sinking further into rule rather than representation by the elected party. Mr. Trudeau has stated that he has a mandate to do this or that because he won the election. What he has is a mandate to do his best to govern responsibly in the best interest of the nation, while considering the opinions of those who disagree with him. That is how democracy works.

The United Nations, with 117 of 196 members (59.7%) who are not democratic but vote in the General Assembly is a poor advocate for democracy. The only reason that the International Day of Democracy exists is that democracies pay the major share of UN operating costs. Without the support of democracies, the UN would wither and die.

Canada does not need to shine on the world stage. We have an ample number of domestic dragons to slay. We need to protect families and the vulnerable members of our society. That is what Canadians do. We come to the aid of neighbours suffering loss, injury or illness not because we must, but because it is the right thing to do. We don’t depend on the government to help us because that is not why we elect governments. Governments exist to manage matters that we cannot take care of ourselves. If we could, we would.

Mr. Trudeau has stated that there is no Canadian culture. That may be true in his cloistered world somewhere above the middle class where international hobnobbing has value, but it is not true for the rest of us who relish Canadian culture and its subtle variations from coast to coast. It is unfortunate that he is missing it all, but that is reflected in his policies.
