Western Standard - Bruce Pardy： The Canada in your memory no longer exists

00:00:00.000 Final closing statement from the leave sign, Mr. Partey, please.

00:00:05.880 In your hearts, there is a Canada that you know and love.

00:00:13.100 The true North, strong and free.

00:00:16.620 A land of opportunity.

00:00:18.780 A fair country.

00:00:20.960 Wise leaders, sound institutions.

00:00:24.160 And people who hold the same values as you.

00:00:30.000 That, Canada, does not exist.

00:00:37.000 It is a figment of our memory and our wishful thinking.

00:00:43.000 Maybe once Canada was a free and noble country.

00:00:51.000 Maybe.

00:00:53.000 Today, it functions as a cartel held together by bribes.

00:01:01.520 Our leaders collaborate with foreign powers and global institutions to plunder what remains of this country's prosperity.

00:01:11.540 Our institutions have become unhinged.

00:01:15.940 They have decided that the problem is you.

00:01:19.920 Canada cannot be fixed

00:01:23.240 within the model

00:01:25.280 under which it operates

00:01:27.040 the powerful people

00:01:28.680 will not allow it

00:01:31.340 its constitution

00:01:33.760 is impossible to amend

00:01:35.060 on any controversial subject

00:01:37.460 except as I mentioned

00:01:38.920 except for the secession

00:01:41.380 of a province

00:01:42.780 now imagine that Alberta

00:01:45.300 had always been

00:01:46.860 an independent country

00:01:48.580 prosperous, free, entrepreneurial. Would you choose to join the Canada of today?

00:01:59.100 The collectivist, woke, overtaxed, overregulated, corrupt, inefficient, authoritarian, confused,

00:02:08.880 and delusional country that you see today? Of course, the answer would be no.

00:02:14.920 If you wouldn't join, then why would you promise to stay?
