I am Canadian. I can confirm, this country is a liberal nightmare

As a 28 year old Canadian I actually think about leaving so much now, this woke insanity is ruining the country.

As a 49y/o Canadian I barely recognize the country I grew up in, anymore. I stopped being proud of being Canadian quite some time ago.

My grandkid came home from school in tears, because she was being taught to hate herself for the color of her skin (Caucasian) and, that she should be ashamed of herself because she is a colonist goes to show how far gone the school system is in favor of woke. A teacher, teaching a 7 year old, to hate herself and, feel ashamed!? Also, the school board plus the government, believes this to be acceptable!?

imagine the self hatred needed to poison the future of your own children and grandchildren

I'm a white male in Canada and I feel I am no longer wanted.

The sad thing is, there are Canadians who STILL think Trudeau is doing a “good job” and isn’t “that bad”. These people are effin clueless as to what he has done to Canada.

I’m seriously looking to move out of Canada because it’s such a nightmare country to live in, The media in Canada is just as bad as the government.

I have lived in Canada all my life. Never occurred to me to ever leave…until now. The last 8 years is unbelievably horrific.

This is what happens in a culture where being "nice" is considered the highest virtue.

It's bad here in the states, but when I look at Canada, I realize how much worse it could be.

As a white male and have to deal with anti-white discrimination even at my workplace every day, I am trying to get myself out of this country. I've had enough of this double-standard.

I am so glad I am 71 years old. I can't imagine being 30 and having to live with the craziness that our (educated people) are going to put Canada through. They will destroy Canada for a little bit of power. Sick.

They were polite, they were scared to offend, they were politically correct. When you don't stand for something, you'll just fall for anything. Hello 🇨🇦

I am Canadian. I have never been embarrassed to be Canadian. I am now scared to say this. So embarrassed for my country

As a Canadian, our problem is we are passive aggressive, cowards.

I am a Brit living in Canada. I came from the states , cant wait to leave . The place is a third world dump

I live in Toronto and born in Alberta… the last 20 years this country has gone down the toilet. It was once a great country with opportunities now it’s a nightmare for the working class and a heaven for rich elites to own everything…. I plan on moving to western Alberta in the stix. You can still buy a home with property for a reasonable amount of money as long as you stay far away from city centres. There is no solution for Canada’s problems… Trudeau has totally sold us out and doesn’t give a steamy crap about the people only his woke agenda and his rich buddies.

The fact you can legit be arrested for misgendering someone in Canada is crazy

Canadians must be bloody simple to actually vote for Trudeau and the woke crap he peddles.

Canada has changed utterly in the last 6-8 years. Trudeau implemented all the things we had been saying : “diversity is our strength”, “bring your culture with you when you come”, “we're a big hearted nation”… It was never so bad as it became under Trudeau

I’m Canadian and my family, friends and co-workers are not WOKE. Thank goodness

True: No evidence of indigenous mass graves. We know this .... not deluded. Do not speak for all Canadians.

A lot of us are not buying into the woke crap. We're willing to fight for the country we love.

Trudeau became friends with Klous Schwab. I don't think that helped, with the growth of woke.😮😮

I am a Canadian in my 50’s and everything he said is completely acurate. Especially the part about Canadians are just sick of Justin Trudeau and want him gone!

I'm Canadian. When I was in grade school in early 70s I remember special assignment. It was about multiculturism being so much better than the 'melting pot' of the USA. Even as child I thought a common identity is better. My teacher kind of agreed but still, here we are.

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.

Canada derives much of its identity as not being America, and in fact being more open minded and progressive than America. There is a lot of anti-Americanism in Canada and this is part of why wokeness is attractive to so many Canadians.

It's the same here in the US, folks. The woke crowd is huge and loud and full of nonsense. We hope that this will not prevail.

Its all a propaganda triangle: I am leftist therefore I am smart, I am smart therefore I am good. YOU can start at any point of this triangle: I am good therefore I am leftist, I am leftists that means I am very smart.

The rise of the great nanny state in Canada over the past 40 years certainly didn't hurt in our relentless goose-stepping march toward the woke joke we are now. I would hope (but not holding my breath) that Polieviere finds his big-boy pants if the Conservatives win the next election. That is, assuming there will be a next election (again, not holding my breath).

Conservative super majority is incoming. Young Canadians are voting conservative and have been polled to be more conservative than Americans the same age. Hopefully the ship gets turned around.

Prof. Eric Kaufmann absolutely nails the problems in Canada. I am English born but have lived here for 33 years, more than half my life. Little boys are little girls, little girls are little boys and we can get into trouble with the law no less if we refuse to use their chosen pro-nouns. It's a terrifying situation and it's out of control, the schools have all bought into it, the universities are rotten with it and the media is a joke of woke. I honestly think of moving back to the UK as there seems to be a bit of a fightback there, never thought I would say that! Most of my friends don't like what is happening but there seems to be no way out for us, it's a truly horrible situation. Trudeau senior started this rot with his multi-cultural bullshit etc and his "Liberal", lets be honest leftist son is continuing the betrayal of this wonderful country. I's very very sad but Canadians like to sit in "Timmies" complain and do nothing, we're screwed!

I am a white Canadian male and i feel invisible, i am no where to be found in Canadian culture or television and excluded from job applications. I identify as transparent and my pronouns are who/where. This is Justin Trudeau's world

Some perspective: I live in Calgary. Amazing city. World class biking trails, zoo, equestrian facitltiy, extremely clean, super friendly people. I drive around every corner of the city, there are the tents set up here and there, but there is a huge system for homeless to be taken care of. My brother came for a visit from the USA. He said the city nearest him was a 'distopian nightmare' And we are working on removing our woke mayor. And then there is our incredible Premier Smith, who fights Trudeau on a daily basis. We are fighting back, and HARD.

Canadians are excessively polite, don't like to rock the boat. Trudeau came along and is so far left Canadians actually sense the boat is ready to capsize. We'd be doing a whole lot better if our PM took the entire Liberal party on an eight year vacation. As flawed as past legislation was, Trudeau is changing it into something far worse.

I’m a 59 year old Canadian and tell my 4 young adult kids to get the hell out of Canada, it’s turned into a cesspool of corruption, crime, wokeness, etc… My three boys are discriminated against by our own government.

A homogeneous, high trust society trusted the wrong people.

Thanks 🙏 from Australia 🇦🇺 Mass migration here to Housing issue and lack of infrastructure yet the Government forge on

I'm Canadian and I'm trying to plan an early retirement to get out of this joke of a country

What does it mean to be Canadian when half of Canadians weren't even born in Canada and don't even share the same culture, religion or mother language?

Canadian people seem like the most passive people on the planet.

Trudeau promised electoral reform and got a majority. He reneged on that promise and had two successive minority governments. The third election was meant to give him a majority- an election he called during a global pandemic which could have put lives at risk. I know many will never forget, never forgive.

I'm embarrassed to be a Canadian. Saddened to hear that wokism is enshrined in our Constitution

I am a Canadian, Kaufman's exactly correct. 1. Allowing immigration numbers that massively exceed the country's ability to construct housing has created a catastrophe wherein only 10% of the population of Toronto can afford to buy housing. And the rental market is completely out of control. Home ownership for anyone who cared to work for it used to be a core Canadian value, forget about it. 2. Multiculturalism, if you think about it, effectively means no culture. So the Western European values which lie behind the emergence of first world prosperity and freedom are no longer valued. 3. The publicly funded broadcaster is a definitive study in Woke-ism. There is not even a pretense of balanced discussion of important issues. Etc, etc.

As a Canadian, thank you

The thing is... Most Canadians are NOT 'woke'. Only 33% voted for Trudeau. We believe in equality for all which is contrary to what the 'woke' are fighting for. The 'woke' believe that unique 'groups' are deserving of 'special favors and special privileges'.

That guy is bang on. Canadians will vote for Polievre to get rid of Trudea but Bernier is truly the leader Canada needs

I left Canada in 1983 and moved to Australia. The woke disease is now in all western countries but I was not aware of how far along that disease had evolved in Canada since my previous visit in 1999. In 2022 I visited family in Canada. It was the first time in 23 years I had been back. I was shocked at how far along the woke sickness Canada has gone. The truckers strike and how the vast majority of Canadians are OK with the government seizing bank accounts convinced me to never return again..

That's because most Canadians are WOKE!!!

I am Canadian. He has accurately explained Canada. We are in deep trouble.

I'm Canadian. I can confirm, that regardless of political ideology, most Canadians know nothing except what they're told by their political messiah of choice.

I don't even think of myself as Canadian anymore. It's just where I was born. This country's values no longer align with mine. I can retire in 6 years. When I do, I'll spend the rest of my days somewhere else. However well Pierre Poilievre's government may perform, I believe the damage done will take at least a generation to recover. And I don't have that long.

Canada needs a Ron DeSantis for PM ! He knows how to govern & get things done ! This PM was clueless from day one ! We need a real man who serves the people, not himself !

Go Woke - Go Broke

All our cultural institutions, including funding for films and tv shows and even media/performing spaces, are dependent on government-funded arts grants. Coupled with a government-funded 3-headed hydra newsmedia (CBC, Bell, Rogers) and a Human Rights Tribunal that is not beholden to the Constitution or any Canadian Court where visible minorities can bring their grievances against white people for life ruining fines for "damages", and you have what you have with no possibility of resistance. If you speak out against it you do so without a platform and then you are crushed by the weight of the State. Pardon me, "post-nation state".

The problem is the right and center sat back and did nothing.

Like I've said from the start, even when Trudeau is gone, his woke policies will not disappear.

Canadian here, what a great description, woke dystopia. This country is a dumpster fire, Trudeau is SO revolting. I would so love to leave here...

When you create a protected class, you also create an unprotected class.

The platform of the Peoples Party of Canada has not changed since it was presented several years ago. I urge everyone to read it and understand what it means for our democracy. For now an ideal outcome in the next election is for the conservatives win a minority government with the PPC holding the balance of power. Then, most of what the conservatives are campaigning on will be supported by the PPC. It would then give the PPC the same power over the conservatives, like the power the NDP have over the liberals, to get some of their platform passed.

Well I’m a Canadian and I am definitely not Woke nor would I ever vote for TrudNO 🇨🇦 he must GO!

There was a recent poll done and Canada in some ways is more conservative than the United States especially on issues of transgenderism and putting this in schools as part of the curriculum. It’s just that the media in Canada is overwhelmingly left and the people aren’t as passionate about their freedoms as Americans which make it seem the people are far more to the left than they actually are.

THIS is what happens when you elect a Prime Minister whose buttons are pushed by the U.N. and the W.E.F.!

I never thought I would ever considering moving to the USA, but now I am. Basic human rights protection does not exist in Canada...the Constitution Act and the CCRF aren't worth the paper they are printed on. At least the American Constitution cannot be infringed upon and is held sacrosanct, regardless of who "leads" the country.

He speaks the truth

Diversification does not promote harmony and unity. Assimilation and integration does. We see a melting pot, not a mixed pot.

I'm lucky - One of my parents was born in the USA, so I left Canada in 1995. Went back to Toronto a couple years back to visit friends and family, and I didn't recognize the place.

Also need to mention that we Canadians have a pretty nasty Inferiority/Superiority complex in regards to the USA in particular - we have an innate sense that we're "better" than America. (My guess is that it started at the American Revolution where we stayed Loyal, then got progressively worse as Canada did a lot of things America did, just not as bloody or deadly. Also not as completely, and we made a lot of compromises the USA didn't, but we see that as points in our favour) We're Nicer, we're more Ethical, we're more Moral, America is a Melting Pot, Canada is a Tossed Salad is the example I grew up with (and we were always subtly taught that our way was superior).Toronto is the "better" New York City and the like... and we're more "Progressive". So we're constantly looking for ways to prove our "superiority". And "Wokeness" is one of the ways we found a way to do that. As for Trudeau vs Poilievre, the main difference is that Trudeau wants to LEAD Canada off that cliff. He wants to be out there in front of the rest of the world saying "I built this train! I'm driving this train! This is my train - see how wonderful I am? No this is not America's Train, they helped build it, yes, but I designed it! It's MY Train!" Poilievre wants to sit in the back seat, grumbling to the American driving the train "Slow down, go the speed limit. I don't even want to be here, but I have to because America is here and the EU is here, and Australia is here, and the Commonwealth is here, and I hate it but if I'm not here, they'll kick me out and that's bad. So this is all America's fault!" while he's quite pointedly not opening a door and jumping out before the train goes off the cliff Max Bernier (PPC leader) would jump off the train. And 100 years from now, if there are still historians, they'd write about how Mad Max saved Canada, but it took 40 years for Canadians to forgive him.

I emigrated to Canada in 1986. Loved the beauty of the country, the people and it's lifestyle. The last 5.5 years, I have worked three jobs simultaneously just to stay afloat (living in British Columbia) and trying to put some money aside for my retirement. I will be 60 this year. These past couple of years I have been contemplating which country to move to to escape the agenda and anything to do with the central banking system? Any recommendations. I can attest, that the country I moved to and lived in for 37 years is not the same country any longer, unfortunately. It is bloody awful living in Canada now.

I'm in New Zealand and much of this is happening here too. I looked at Canada and France and concluded that there was a good chance our woke Labour government might get a third term in 2023. Instead, we rejected Labour and voted in a much less woke National party. We also have had legalised racism for a long time with reserved jobs for Maori etc and like Canada, it's recently gone from something that's rarely used, to a flood of anti-white/male racism and sexism.

Being a Canadian, this started in the 1990s research the history of Hastings Street in Vancouver, 30 years of the world's largest open-air drug market tells you everything you need to know.

As a Canadian who follows this stuff closely, I can speak for myself and say that his breakdown and analysis is very accurate and helpful.

Trudeau has to go!

As a recent retiree, I would have moved to Portugal or Panama a few years ago, but my children live and work here, so we have chosen to remain in this dystopian hellhole to be close to them. The damage done by Trudeau and his party of trained seals in a mere 8 years, may take decades to repair.

Because it’s relies on performative compassion and Canadians are nice

The two Trudeaus have much to answer for. If you don;t like what has happened to our country, and you voted for Trudeau, you better not be complaining. I never have anything to do with CBC, but I have a National Post subscription. The prof is right. Trudeau is revolting and I, for one, am revolted by him.

So interesting. My family moved to Canada from Northern Ireland in the 60's, but I've never felt 'Canadian.' I don't understand this country, but you've helped me with this. Thank you.

It's surprising how much one party can mess up a country.

It started in 1776 when Washington’s army unfortunately failed to free Canada from the British occupation.

WOKE is Weakness. Virtuosity is Subservience.

I teach at a college in Canada, you would be surprised at how conservative it is

As a Canadian I have to admit that we are far too polite for our own good. This plays into the hands of the Woke who are perpetually outraged.

It’s getting worse. I love my extended family, which is the only reason I haven’t left. I don’t know how much longer I can justify it though.

Glad to see someone else sees that the Conservative Party is not the hope of Canada. Poilievre is sharp, but he won’t save the country. As Kaufmann points out, there’s no incentive. Abortion will go unchallenged, deviancy will continue to be celebrated, and mass immigration will not relent.

Spot on Prof. Kaufmann, Thank you!

Same in Australia. Indigenous Land Acknowledgements, and proposed place name changes. "Welcome To Country" - An Indigenous ceremony welcoming visitors to their specific "country". This is performed at State, Federal level, and at most entertainment and sporting events. Indigenous "Heritage Laws" that prohibit people from being in, or doing anything to, so called "traditional spiritual indigenous" land. The land claims are mind boggling, there's more than 3,000 claims just in one state. When it's all given back to them, who are they going to blame for the inevitable failure and disintegration of absolutely everything?.......

About the Indigenous mass graves, its actually amazing people still aren't aware that no physical evidence has been found yet. Yet what happened? Activists were waiting on the sidelines, organized and ready to go to enact policy change. Which they got away with to an extent. They got to trash great people who were instrumental in founding Canada such as John A. Macdonald, Egerton Ryerson, and there was virtually very little pushback.

The issue we have had for years in Canada is that the liberal party gets into power, and they take us 10 steps to the left the political spectrum until people just cannot tolerate it any longer, we then vote in the conservatives who "fix everything" by taking us five steps back to the right, by which time the people seem to have completely forgotten how damaging the Liberals are, and vote them back in based on feelings instead of facts, and the whole cycle repeats. The end result is a steady march towards totalitarianism with very brief periods of apparent, but not actual, relief. Do I believe the current conservative party will make things better than they are now? Absolutely! Do I believe the current conservative party will manage to get us back to even the level we were 8 years ago? Not very likely. Let alone make actual progress towards a better society. Undoing half the damage done in the last 8 years would be good, but not good enough!

He hit the nail on the head. In Canada left and right are both wings on the same bird.

"Well, we sure do have a nice, stable and prosperous country here in Canada. You know what, let's FUCK IT UP ENTIRELY IN THE SPACE OF ABOUT 20 YEARS"

In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, **unbearable political correctness**, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world. Their are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.

I’m a founding member of the PPC. It’s the only party in this country with any common sense

Born in 63 always thought we were a distinct ethnicity.

I’m in Toronto. Born and raised for 37 years. This man is spot on the money.

Thank you! You filled in a lot of questions I had.

The great irony is that I'm going to sound 'woke' saying this, but please hear me out. Canada has ALWAYS been an OUTSTANDING colony of its empire. In the old days, we have been very committed to the British Empire, even watching those nightly 'God Save the Queen' broadcasts at the signoff. But we've gradually been incorporated into the Corporate States of America, and 'wokeness' is basically the street slang for the corporate neo-religion of ESG and DEI. Trudeau is just another PM who understands how to be a good lapdog for our masters and seeks to serve them dutifully.

Italian and Irish here -- English too. But the Italian side of the family has been here for 120 years. The Irish for 150 years. However, all European and loyal to the Crown. They spoke English and were not yearning for the countries they came from. Even those who came from India or Hong Kong still had a foundation that came from the British Empire. We are in trouble especially in universities.
