Making Canada Great Again?


Recommended Posts

Trudeau has resigned and the favored replacement sounds like Trump. I wonder what happens next, eh?

 

Like Trump, Poilievre is also a fan of short catchy phrases to encapsulate his political messages: “Axe the tax” in reference to a federal carbon tax, or “Justinflation” – a portmanteau to blame the prime minister for inflation.

Much like Trump, he also likes to describe himself as a victim of mistreatment by elites and traditional media.

He also has low support among women, another similarity with Trump.

In 2022, when he fought for the leadership of the country’s main opposition Conservatives, the career politician with 20 years of experience was nonetheless seen as an outsider, but drew large crowds at his rallies.

Born in Calgary, Poilievre was raised by an adoptive family. He developed a passion for politics at an early age and won a prize during his university studies for an essay on what he would do if he were prime minister.

With polls showing he is likely to win in the next election, he promises to put “Canada first!” – a slogan akin to Trump’s own “America first!”

"ME FIRST!" or even "US first" - the thing you have a hard time imaging Jesus yelling.

 

Every day provides a new reason on why we need our King to take full control!!  :pray:

 

He sacrificed his life for EVERYONE who would take advantage.

I enjoy learning new words.  There have been several lately here at jwtalk.

Hmm, just thinking out loud - If Canada became another US state - what would happen to the health care?

 

Taxes might go down, but if the taxes and the "new" cost for health insurance were added together - would it still be less?

Because of that and numerous other reasons, like his attitude, character, past deeds etc. I really struggle to understand how anyone can compare Trump to Jesus and seeing him as almost kind of spiritual leader and Messiah, as many religious communities do nowadays in USA (note that I am not talking about him as a political figure or about his policies, which I don't want to comment on, but as a personality).

Based on this and generally about what is happening in the world, I am 100% sure, that if I would not know the truth, I would for sure believe that we are living in a kind of simulation where masters chose a kind of parody scenario for our universe and are rolling on the ground laughing when looking at earth.

Since Jesus plainly tolk us his kingdom is no part of this world, AND since we all know Jehovah's Kingdom is already in power in Heaven and all we are waiting for is for it to exercise its power on earth, 

 

WHY ARE WE WASTING ENERGY WORRYING ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN STATN'S SYSTEM?????

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

1. One reason is because as world events change, they affect our brothers and sisters. We can pray for them and be very specific in our prayers.

2. It is also interesting to watch world events unfold because it strengthens our faith in Jehovah and the prophecies he gave us.

3. Watching how Canada and the King of the South interact can give us a better idea of what we can expect in the near future.

4. It's fun to watch. Have you ever watched a movie or read a book even though you knew how it ended?

The Conservative leader Pierre Polievre is very popular among the public there. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was elected as the next leader.

 

I took a trip to Canada couple months ago, many were fed up with the Liberals, even in their stronghold of Quebec.

 

Much of this appears to be driven by the very high cost of living, (housing, food, etc.). People are being driven more towards isolationism (MAGA, or in this case MCGA) and focusing on the problems that are not getting solved inside the country.

 

Another major sticking point is immigration. People got fed up with all the new people, especially international students, coming into the country, and they blame them for the housing crisis, and driving up the prices of everything

5. Not everyone in the world receives information about Canada, so posting it here makes the members in other countries aware of it in case they are interested.

6. It's interesting that the favored politician has a very similar personality as the US Presidential-elect Mr. Trump. That's another indication of the changes we can expect to see in both countries. As that leadership affects the people of their nation, it affects our preaching territory. We can expect the people in our territory to be rude, arrogant and confrontational.

Based on that, there is another point I’m going to make: 

 

They already are, and as time goes on, it will get bad. I think now that we are seeing how people will generally react once GT hits us.

 

If their disposition is bad now, it will be truly awful at that time, when our message changes from good news to judgement.

Wow why did he resign?  
 

Man…miss two days of the news cycle and things change quick!

Jer 29:11-“For I well know the thoughts I am thinking toward you, declares Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not calamity, to give you a future and a hope.”

Psalm 56:3-“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”
Romans 8:38-”For I am convinced...”

There was going to be an early election had he not resigned, the NDP party decided they had enough him and announced they were going to vote to topple the Trudeau government. The conservatives have been pressing hard for an early election and needed the NDP to make that happen. The Liberals knew this was going to happen so Liberals pressured Trudeau to resign.

The politicians would never allow Universal Healthcare in the United States.  They would fight to keep it out.  And the medical and pharmaceutical industry would lobby against and give large 'campaign contributions' to politicians to keep Universal Healthcare out of the US.  Would it be wrong to call campaign contributions actual bribes?

 

EDIT:  We will have to wait for perfect health in paradise!

I really like your posts.  'Emperor Elon' was good.  (Or is it First Lady Elon for now.)  And now this.

Yes, we need our King!  My husband is just dying for Canada to join the US, he somehow thinks things will be so much better here (the rising cost of living is a huge issue right now, as well as lack of medical drs) and the USA will incorporate universal health care so we can move there.  I'm just so tired of hearing him talk about politics when we're supposed to be neutral 😐 I hoped after the US election it would all be over but looks like things are going to get even wilder.

I think a lot of people are seeking politicians with isolationist policies because they don't want to be ruled by unelected UN bureaucrats, because people are wising up that it's the UN's agenda that's being imposed upon the more globalist elite politicians, which likely why Western Europe and the entire Anglosphere have basically been clones of each other. What they don't realize is that, according to prophecy, it looks like UN rule for a short period of time, is inevitable. 
The only thing that potentially disturbs me about Trump and Pollinviere and Europe going incredibly right wing is that, it makes me wonder if the UN take over is further in the future than I previously thought. The conclusion I come to, however, is that the affairs of Satan's world has no bearing on how prophecy will be fulfilled and that Jehovah will compel the UN and the governments to destroy Babylon the Great in his time. I thought Geoffrey Jackson's talk on last month's broadcast to be incredibly encouraging.

I assume it's because of Satan's influence and birds of a feather flock together. 

You might notice how I didn't specify what type of bird..:whistling:

That doesn't really apply to the Trump though, because he had a mandate and an increase of different demographic votes from 2020.
I think the whole world is getting played. It reminds me of how Senator Palpatine started a war wherein he was behind both sides of the war in The Phantom Menace, then again, in The Attack of the Clones. It's a good thing we're neutral in political affairs, or we would be caught up in a conflict for which both sides lose and Jehovah will ultimately win in the end.
