In today’s rant, Stephen LeDrew argues that this is a consequential year for Canada, and the decisions made now will shape the country for generations.
LeDrew pushes back on the idea that Canada can simply “go back” to what it once was. The genie is out of the bottle. But he also rejects the notion that Canadians must tear down everything that generations before them built through war, sacrifice, poverty, and hardship.
The rant takes aim at post-nationalism, misinformation about Canadian history, and a culture that replaces facts with guilt. From drug policy and public disorder to school boards pulling books and politicians repeating false claims about slavery in Canada, LeDrew argues that too many institutions have lost their grounding in reality.
He calls for Canadians to know their history, defend their culture, and debate ideas openly without censorship or intimidation. Disagreement should not mean silencing. Debate should not mean violence. And improvement should not require self-loathing.
This is a call for better municipal, provincial, and federal government, and a reminder that Canada has the resources, intelligence, and moral foundation to do better if it chooses to.
