General Sir Arthur Currie, Commander of the Canadian Corp during World War 1. He was the war’s most successful general bringing credit to a young Canadian nation. Yet he was shunned by the Canadian government of the day primarily due to the blatant jealousy, pettiness and absurdity of the politicians and home spun military brass. MP Sam Hughes was the prime Currie antagonist. His actions and that of Canada’s hierarchy proves to me that Canada’s underlying abhorrence to success and fame is attributable to an underlying acute inferiority complex that is evident still to this very day.
“What, do you think your are better than us Currie?” Many of that day would say.
Canada shuns success. That is why many Canadians hate Trump and suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome in spades.
Curried died in 1933. He was a broken man. One who did not deserve the treatment he received.
His birthplace and home in Strathroy Ontario is a broken down shell of a residence. If he was an American, a theme park would have been established there. His home in Victoria, BC, Victoria West, is still inhabited by someone but with a very small nondescript plaque in place stating that Currie once lived there.
Shame on Canada.
But I am not surprised. General Guy Simmons was Canada’s most successful General of World War 2. For his efforts he received the same treatment from his countrymen as Currie did.
And what is wrong with Making America Great Again, or anything great again, after years of decline under Democratic and Progressive / Liberal leadership. Yes, America has suffered from years of decline and Iranian appeasement under Obama and Biden. Of course a great many Canadians suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome and a massive inferiority complex thus anything that America accomplishes successfully is viewed with disdain by Canadians under our Trudeau and Carney Liberal Governments.
America chopped off the head of the Iranian snake.
It is about time. Since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, this evil regime has been responsible for thousands of American deaths, as well as over 100 Canadians and European lives, not to mention their continuous proxy incursions of Israel by HAMAS and Hezbollah, which includes the heinous October 7 Israeli massacre. They have shot down commercial airlines, bombed embassies, their Persian Gulf neighbors, and many other atrocities. They even murdered 30-50,000 of their own people due to protesting. Yet, the west, particularly NATO, the EU and Canada, attack America for finally stepping up to this monstrosity of a regime. Unfortunately for us non Americans, the UN, NATO, the EU and Canada’s response toward America’s response is: Down With America.
War crimes is their rallying cry. Iranian appeasement is their game.
Appeasement of a bully like Iran? Reminds me of another appeasement strategy by western European and the League of Nations.
Result?
Appeasement didn’t go so well.
Those ball-ess countries like the EU, UK and Canada, and ineffective organizations like NATO and the UN with eunuched leaders who refuse to learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. And at the expense of Joe and Joan public…you and me, or our children and grandchildren.
America eliminated the Iranian nuclear threat for good. America has chopped off the head of the snake. America will make Europe Great Again just like she did after WW2. America is finally great again.
And what about Canada? Y’know our nation was great at one time:
Canada lost 61,000 killed and missing during WW1 out of a population of 7.5 million people. The Canadian Corp, under General Arthur Currie was victorious at Vimy Ridge and, along with the Aussies, forced the surrender of Germany at Mons on 11 November 1918. Canadian and Australian storm troopers won the final 100 days battles thus ending the war to end all wars. Yet Canada and Australia fell under British Command, thus the Brits took all of the credit.
Canada lost 40,000 killed and missing during WW2. Yet the Canadian Army under the Generalship of Guy Simmons won the Scheldt, thus securing the port of Antwerp, and liberated the Netherlands. Canada had the 3rd largest Navy in the world by 1945, which included 3 aircraft carriers, Cruisers, Destroyers and Frigates as well as hundreds of U-Boat destroying Corvettes. All of this from a population of 12.5 million people.
Canada lost 550 men during the UN sanctioned Korean War.
This was out Flag:
This was our anthem:
Great!
Then, inexplicably, something happened in Canada: Liberalism.
First this:
Prime Minister from 1964-1968
We lost the Flag and lost the Anthem
And this from a guy who won the Nobel Prize for Peace for the de-escalation of the Suez Crisis of 1956.
And then this:
Pierre Elliot Trudeau: Prime Minister from 1968 – 1984.
Gave us Multiculturalism, Official Bilingualism – but mainly French, Charter of Rights and Freedoms, of which toilet paper has better functionality. Virtue Signaling, National Energy Program, which screwed Alberta royally adding fuel to today’s Alberta separatist cause. His reign precipitated Canada’s decline.
And then…………………Ta Da;
Justin Trudeau, Pierre’s son. Prime Minister from 2015-2025. The boy king of Canada.
Architect of Canada being the world’s first post national state, whatever that means. Accused all Canadians of genocide. Mocked the Freedom Convoy. Implemented the illegal Emergencies Act and froze the bank accounts of anyone associated with the Freedom Convoy. Branded anyone who disagreed with his policies as racist, bigots, misogynistic, radical, far right fringe – meaning anyone who is not Liberal. Blackface, virtual signaler on steroids, ethics violator extraordinaire and the host of numerous scandals.
Destroyed Canada’s economy in 10 years.
With over regulation and Liberal idiocratic policies.
Not to be outdone we now have Trudeau 2.0 in Mark Carney:
Or who I like to call: Dudley Do-Right’s nemesis.
Drat!
Unelected Prime Minister Feb 2025 – April 2025 then elected Prime Mortician of Canada since April 2025. He will preside over the death of Canada. He is International banker extraordinaire. His suits are shaken not stirred. He buys his attire at Seville Road’s Morticians R Us. He is the expert at word salads. Says a lot but accomplishes nothing. Out of Canada more than he is in Canada. Has taken over 27 trips abroad in one year as PM. He avoids Question Period in our House of Clowns like the plague. He wants to decarbonize carbon – making him an oxy moron if there ever was one. He is the architect of a censorship bill (C9) and he supports all of Justin’s economy destroying policies. He equates to obfuscation and deflection. He is, my friends, the Prime Mortician of Canada. And when he drinks he drinks, he drinks…well, he drinks!
Alberta and Quebec will separate under his watch. He will be the last PM of Canada as we know it today.
And what do we get for all of this?
Canada is the Wokest Country on the planet.

And this:
“I am not a Madame I am a non binary thing. My pronouns are they and them.”
Well I am not a fan of this and my pronouns are holy shit.
On this date, 09 April 1917, 109 years ago, during WW1, the Canadian Corp stormed Vimy Ridge and won the day. But at a great cost. It was one of the few decisive victories of the First World War. And it was Canada’s day. One that enshrined all Canadians that we were indeed a mature nation unto ourselves and unto the world stage.
11,000 casualties, 3500 dead.
Here is a poem I wrote about that battle. Simply titled The Ridge.
The Ridge
Reflections are wise. Their true insight flies
Throughout our minds and forever binds us
To an eternal life that is devoid of strife.
Just peaceful thoughts, not restless, nor caught
Into that web of war, we tread
Pure madness bred our way to be
For as one we brand an ancestral land
As our spirits rise to embrace the sky
And shed away our fears.
Our thoughts of home, as our mothers roam
Among our graves, their faces brave
To the sadness here of men with fear
Yet for our nation’s prayers we died out there.
For our home sweet home, so far away
That knowledge bears as our passion flares
Within our hearts, to love, to shove
Our fears aside and run in stride
To get away from there.
Over top we’d go in whistled floes
That plundered us within gun sight foes.
Such madness…crushed, our brothers flush
With abject fear with those guns so near.
We prayed in silence for our leader’s guidance
For in them we trust, and as Canucks we thrust
So far ahead though we walked with dread.
With that barrage we shudder, our blanket cover,
Oh God we’re scared.
The earth it shakes… please mothers take us
To your arms and away from harm.
We fell in silence, as there’s no pride in violence
We looked ahead for behind ’s our dead.
Their faces seared, no longer feared
Just darkness now with thoughts that bow
To a light that’s gone, forever done.
For now, it seems our passion streams
Are ebbing some for our time has come.
We fought for glory, each life a story
With silent breath we faced cruel death.
Our youthful brash against madness crashed
Into the mud, the cold, the blood.
That Ridge has been a horror scene.
A Ridge that bears our lives and shares
Blood curdling chills, then silence… killed.
And down we go with our cries now still
Just silent prayers to loved ones shared…so far from there.
The death knell rings for our lives and brings
A peace you share from that Ridge out there.
It is peace we pave to our silent graves
With a peace we share in God’s love’s lair.
For we were men of arms, a brotherhood
And beyond that Ridge is your nationhood.
With souls set free our spirits now see
Just peaceful lands and a national brand…
your nation ‘s free!
I decided to present a Pinocchio meter to measure the amount of Bull Crap coming out of Canada’s Liberal Government.
“Canada has the best GDP growth in the G7” – so says Squeaky Champaign, Canada’s Finance Minister.
“Yes Mr. Speaker, this is true.”
Liar, liar, pants on fire. My nose is growing.
Excerpt from my latest book: “The Ridge,” due out in the fall.
The King pulled the lanyard and drawstring. The Canadian flag fell off and down to the feet of the statue. When revealed, the air at Vimy was devoid of sound. You could hear a pin drop, and then, after a few moments, a collective gasp. Charlotte broke down as soon as she saw the statue. I held her close as I gazed in amazement upon the marble and stone sculpture. The symbolism is overwhelming.
Mother Canada. “Bereft,” looking down and out in grief and mourning for her lost sons. Her head is veiled; her sad eyes emit a melancholy and cast a downward loving glance to the tomb of the unknown soldier below her: a son that she failed to protect and save from death. Her chin rests on one arm, while her garments drape and fall off her right shoulder. The cold limestone and marble are suddenly transformed into a living testament of acute despondency. Sadness! That is the predominant emotion. “Canada Bereft” reminds me of Lot’s wife, turning back to Sodom in vain to grasp the lifeblood of her sons. I could not hold back my tears.
The band struck up “Rule, Britannia!” The King, the Guard, and the veterans stood at attention, proudly saluting Mother Canada and the Vimy Memorial in totality. The flag bearers raised their flags in tribute. The band played “Land of Hope and Glory” and “Abide with Me.” A massive aerial flypast by the English and French air forces crowned the ceremony—and just like that, it was over. The crowds were invited to place wreaths, flowers, and other mementos of loved ones at the tomb of the unknown soldier, or simply to walk around the site and mingle as they saw fit to observe, admire, and reflect.
Canada fought under the British Crown during World War 1. 61,000 Canadians died.
