I was born in Canada. I migrated with my family to the U.S. in the 1960s and was raised in the American system. I became a U.S. citizen, served 20 + years in the military, you could say of my entire family I was always the flag-waving patriot. But I still have relatives living in Canada and I finished my military career embedded with a Canadian unit. I served with a mixed-bag, some good soldiers, some not-so-good soldiers, not much different from the U.S. I then worked as a civilian contractor training Canadian service-members for an additional three years, making my stint a seven-year run. I learned a lot about the culture and a couple things stand out.
First, the myth of government is always a force for good is deeply rooted in the national psyche. I brought up the draconian tax system with one of my co-workers, federal tax, provincial tax, municipal tax, provincial sales tax, federal sales tax, and he responded: "Yeah, but look at all we get." I asked him honestly: "What do you get?" The medical system is a mess. As I say, I lived as a civilian for three years near the country's largest city and I could not find a doctor. I was on several lists but once they hit a certain threshold they stop taking on patients. I asked: "what should I do if I get sick?" I was told to go to the E.R. or one of their walk-in clinics where you might find a nurse on hand if you were lucky. But people accepted it. I did turn my coworker onto Ayn Rand, Thomas Sowell, and a few others and he is now a militant in his home province of Quebec. So good for him. My one conservative apple seed.
That is the second point, the go-along-get-along-don't-make-waves nature of the populace, at least not in any meaningful way. Oh I heard a lot of bitching, but I saw little action. That sheepish nature is a direct byproduct of the first point. Nobody wants to upset the nanny government. I was bothered by the general look-down-our-nose at the racist American attitude that permeated the culture. Truthfully, I heard more racist and chauvinistic commentary during my time in Canada than anywhere else I was ever stationed, including the deepest heart of Dixie. Canadians do like to get on their high-moral-horse when it comes to their neighbors to the south. But they do love shopping here.
I told my fellow workers what they needed, a Canadian Ronald Reagan to come in change the mindset. But it's just not in em. Castro's kid gets away with the nonsense he pulls because he knows he can. Will there even be another election? What if he pulled a Nancy Reagan and just said no? There is no Canadian Bill of Rights similar to the one our heathen forefathers insisted on. See, as a rule, we have a tradition of not trusting government. We don't see it as a force for good. Unless and until that mindset changes, enjoy Hockey Night in Canada...for now anyway. My heart does bleed for my native land, but I'll never be back, not until there is a real change in rulers.

Race pimping is an old game:
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." ― Booker T. Washington
I can't speak to the problems in Britain, but here in America, the LGBT movement is acting as a force multiplier. The goal is to feminize men, to make them submissive. Boys are taught that their natural masculine inclinations are toxic and they get confused and don't know what to do with those urges. Simple, become a woman.
It's demonic at its heart. The elites as they call themselves these days are targeting Anglo culture because it is what is standing between them and their rightful place as masters of the universe. Elites, or progressives as they used to like to be called, have been moving like a glacier for more than a century, burying the territory they capture, never ceding it, and pressing onward. Always pressing onward. They are Godless and therefore they have to believe a utopia can be delivered in this world since there is no other for them. And who better to run it. How do you capture a culture and bring it down? You take over the cultural and educational heart of it. Give em credit, they have been busy little commies, and they are so close now they can feel it. It's why the U.S. border has been eliminated. They are following the same model they ran successfully in Europe. Attack, attack, attack, then attack some more.
“The modern age is built on the Myth of Progress…Believers in the Myth of Progress hold that progress is better than the past, and the future will inevitably be better than the present. This myth is a powerful tool in the hands of would-be totalitarians. It provides a transcendent source of legitimacy for their actions and frames opposition as backward and ignorant…Thus does the Myth of Progress become a justification for exercising dictatorial power” ― Rob Dreher: Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents
Yeah, long post, I know. Won't get read. I get that. But I'm in a mood. Sleep well my fellow citizens, like the careless maidens who didn't have oil for their lamps on the day the Bridegroom arrived. When they did get the oil it was too late, their seats had been taken. Get right with God. Free advice, for His hour is nigh, and Satan knows his time is short.
