MAIN HISTORY
The Wall Street Journal editorial board recently noted that the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, seems to be continuing to do and say things for the sole purpose of impressing Americans. “One of the peculiarities of Canadian politics is that its Liberal Party politicians often sound like they are running for office in the United States,” he says.

Canadian politics never strays from its American counterpart, but in fact there have been a lot of liberal actions in recent months that really don’t make sense unless the liberals’ desire to achieve is taken into account. points with an American audience (or a Canadian audience that watches too much CNN). For example …
CONSTANTLY FALSE THAT ABORTION IS THREATENED
It is difficult to think of a Western country that has more profoundly attacked its abortion movement than Canada. There is no law governing abortion in Canada; a fact that makes us even among the libertine abortion nations of Europe. Nevertheless, the consistent public position of the Conservative Party of Canada since its founding in 2004 has been that, whatever their personal thoughts on the issue, they will never introduce legislation to alter the status quo.

Of the six people now running for the Conservative leader, five (including the two favorites) have publicly pledged not to touch abortion with a 10-meter stick. The Conservative leader in the last federal election said it was “pro-election”. Even Canada’s main far-right option, the People’s Party of Canada, has vowed not to legislate abortion.
In the face of all this, Trudeau has constantly campaigned on the idea that access to Canadian abortion is somehow at risk, as is the case in certain U.S. states. The Liberals’ 2021 platform said “Conservatives want to revoke access to abortion”. And when the news leaked that the U.S. Supreme Court was willing to overturn Roe v. Wade, who bans a statewide ban on abortion, Trudeau only took a few hours to respond with a tweet that said “every woman in Canada is entitled to a safe and legal abortion.”

The right to choose is a woman’s right and only a woman’s right. Every woman in Canada has the right to a safe and legal abortion. It’s time for men to stop telling other men that it’s okay for them to decide what women can or can’t do with their bodies.

BAN CANADIAN WEAPONS TO STOP AMERICAN MASSES
Trudeau made direct reference to a recent mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, in his decision this week to “freeze” the sale or transfer of weapons. It was not mentioned that the shooting was actually committed with a long pistol. Or that Uvalde is in the United States and therefore not subject to Canadian law. Or that shooting would almost certainly have been avoided in Canada because of our network of existing laws, which are actually good enough to detect mentally ill gun owners. Or that gunfire in Canada is committed almost entirely with U.S. smuggled firearms that are already illegal.
A high-profile push by American progressives to counter mass shootings by banning the AR-15 rifle has also had a clear influence on Trudeau’s policy. The AR-15 was already a restricted firearm in Canada, but the Liberals issued a 2020 council order banning it and about 1,500 other long-range weapons resembling the AR-15, even if they can differ dramatically in capacity and capacity. fire rhythms. In particular, this particular order was issued in response to a mass shooting in Nova Scotia that was committed with U.S. contraband firearms.

IMPORTING THE WARS OF US CULTURE INTO RACE
In virtually every metric, Canada’s main racial divide is between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. Indigenous Canadians earn much less, their average life expectancy is 15 years earlier, and they are disproportionately victims of unambiguously racist attacks, such as a Thunder Bay woman who was fatally hit by a towbar launched from of a moving car.
But especially since the Black Lives Matter protests and riots shook the United States in the summer of 2020, the Trudeau government has often framed Canadian racial relations as influenced by the legacies of slavery and segregation. Although African slavery in Canada ended 40 years earlier than in the United States, and numbered in the hundreds, instead of millions, the Liberals have introduced anti-racism training in the civil service that mentions slavery with more often than Indian residential schools.

Trudeau also has a penchant for issuing a public response to all major racial incidents in the United States, while ignoring any number of Canadian equivalents. When white supremacists marched on Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, Trudeau issued a statement saying “we know Canada is not immune to racist violence and hatred.” When protesters gathered in Ottawa in June 2020 against the police assassination of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Trudeau ventured into the crowd and knelt down.
We know that Canada is not immune to racist violence and hatred. We condemn it in all its forms and send support to the victims of Charlottesville.

SOLVING A NON-MARKETING PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT EXIST
Sentence reform is a big problem in the United States for the singular reason that they have more prisoners than anyone. Even after some slight moves toward sentencing reform, the U.S. still has a higher proportion of citizens in prison than any other nation in the world and is not even close to.
This is not the case in Canada. According to the World Prison Brief, we are actually at the lower end of the country in terms of incarceration rates. According to its latest count, Canada ranks 143rd in terms of per capita rate of people in prison.

That is why, when activists raise the issue of sentencing in Canada, it is usually to demand more. This came up several times during the national investigation into missing and murdered indigenous women, when commissioners hinted that light chronic convictions of violent offenders “were leading to violence against indigenous women.”

However, the Trudeau government has jumped on the bandwagon of U.S. sentencing reform with Bill C-5. The proposed legislation would eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for a number of violent crimes, such as “robbery with a firearm,” “unloading a firearm with intent,” and “extortion with a firearm.” Above all, given the crisis in arms smuggling in Canada, it would also reduce the sentence for six charges related to arms trafficking.
ALLOW 60,000 ILLEGAL CROSS-BORDER CROSS-BORDERS
Canada has never faced a major migration crisis along its southern border. We’ve had some rusty boats appearing on the west coast full of migrants from South Asia, but the Canadian border has never seen a statistically significant number of people crossing illegally with towed luggage.

That changed in 2017, when thousands of migrants began traversing what Ottawa would call “irregular” border crossings. These were unguarded sections of the U.S.-Canada border, such as Roxham Road in Quebec, where migrants smuggled into Canadian territory before claiming refugee status. Crossings arose entirely to avoid the Agreement on Safe Third Countries, under which refugee applicants on the U.S.-Canada border are rejected because they are already …
