So I think when you...
I think the agenda of giving people more freedom, economic freedom through lower taxes, unlocking home ownership and energy and resource development, or personal freedom by letting people speak their minds and have freedom of speech, even when it's politically incorrect.
Actually, that agenda is very popular in Canada and around the world.
And that's why I've stayed true to it.
But that's not why I've stayed true to it.
It makes it easier for me to stay true to it.
Sorry.
If you look at it, what it really comes down to is this.
It's freedom or force.
There's a movement to concentrate power, control money in the hands of bureaucrats, technocrats, and other insiders using the state as their mechanism.
And that has led to the mass impoverishment of the people across the Western world.
and an enormous gap between rich and poor.
By the way, this is not happening because of free enterprise.
It's happening because of the massive interventions of the state to take from the hardworking many and concentrate it in the hands of the few.
Or on the other hand, there's another alternative, which is to give people back more economic, personal and political freedom through a smaller state and more powerful individuals, families and communities.
And that's the side I'm on.
Tell us.
Exactly the same thing, because it's being used as a pretext to concentrate money and power in the hands of the state.
It is just the latest of the many pretexts that are used to justify taking away everybody's money and giving it to a treasured
privileged few green grifters.
