I don’t know how you feel right now but I am in shock and awe. Between the separatist defeat, the rebuke of the other nine referendum questions and the US extinction-level midterm election results, I feel gitty. I know from these results where most of us stand: for decency, the rule of law and clean water.
Since 1995—with the birth of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation in conjunction with the US-Heritage Foundation—the war against science and human decency was waged upon the people of Alberta and the rest of the Western World. Wave upon wave upon wave of misinformation hit us, to the point where we could not longer come up for air. Our only choice was to keep swimming in hopes to find the surface beyond the misinformation. That moment has finally arrived, we can see beyond the bullies trying to divide and control us. We know who they are, their forever wars and genocidal aims and what is to be done about it: an end.
But what comes next?
Let my analysis of the referendum, the midterms and answers to the Forever Canadian survey be your guide.
