The Importance of Education
Don’t trust the textbooks, nor the police, nor the politicians of this weak, divided, impoverished international doormat we call a country in nothing but name. Knowledge is power, and the lack of it dooms the self and others. Indeed, there are supposedly other important issues at stake, though most of it is drowned out by political infantile badgering by our beloved elected aristocracy, who keep us in the dark and distract us with beer and hockey games and bright shining lights. They benefit from the distractions brought on by American culture, false national unity, bright lights, shiny objects and vast fields of trees amidst bohemoths of earth and stone that keep the earth balanced and beatify the pacific frontier of this broad land. “Peace, order and good government” sounds like the motto of a falangist state, with the final phrase thrown in as a soundbite that sounds catchy but emptier than a drained bladder.
And Canadians are so stupid.
They have the mentality of a rancid mob composed of insular inbred rednecked bigots, are unwilling and too lazy to educate themselves or challenge government, who wants things fed to them, who’s scared to enter a real fight and only fight small people for an easy win, and in the early years of their life are often mistaken themselves as being American. The only thing Canadians are willing to define themselves as is that we’re not American… whatever that means. The Australians are more culturally distinct that their British masters and thus should seperate from the British Crown for life. The idea of Canada having its own queen is absurd. The Statute of Westminster 1931 does nothing for Canada or Canadians. It merely was imposed on us by our British masters as some form of psychological trick to make Canadians feel like they’re independent when really they’re not. When was the last time Canadians were called on a national referendum on their government? What do Canadians know about their own government? And what right do Canadians have to complain about their government when we really don’t know anything about our government?
We’ve got to educate ourselves. We’ve got to know who’s governing us and how! The majority of Canadians believe the Prime Minister is our head of state! I earlier in the year got into an argument online with a monarchist, who at one point claimed that the Prime Minister was chosen by Canadians. Um… no. The Prime Minister is someone chosen by the majority party in the House of Commons to lead cabinet. The PMO (Prime Minister’s Office) doesn’t even exist under the constitution we have! And the Prime Minister in our country has executive power, including appointing the Governor General, who represents the BRITISH MONARCHY, NOT the Canadian people! And we, the people, are SUBJECTS of a foreign ruler of a foreign land who can’t be chosen by Canadians, who can’t be impeached, who have no power, who is an absentee head of state, who rules for life and succeeded by blood. By the way our country’s being run at this point, shouldn’t we impeach the Queen for doing nothing? What right to we have to remove the head of state of another nation?
And look, the provinces! They act like micronations and influence federal policy to get their way, threatening secession if they don’t get their way. What has the Queen said or done about this? I thought she wasn’t supposed to have any power. The federal government is too stupid and cowardly to use force against any province that dares to secede.
This form of government has also caused animosity between Canadians, down to the provincial level. We act like provincials, damning other provinces and cities we never visited except in wet dreams of carnage. The English against the French, the French against the English, both against the Aboriginals, the Aboriginals (rightfully) against both, and all three against anyone else. Dictatorships already exist in Canada, and has divided this land across the board, strained relations between government and people and rendered democracy into a farce.
All this much to the advantage of the elected elite. What care do they have about law, people or country?
All this much to the disadvantage of an undereducated people, who are distracted by nothing but beer and hockey games. Knowledge can get people far, though in bad and good ways, good being the best way. We, as a duty to our country, so that we can get more time to do our own things and live once things resolve for us, must first know about the government that rules us. Its history, its laws, structure, functions, institutions, practices, etc. before you complain. See, people aren’t going to teach you, and you also don’t care, which sucks because the less you care, the less democracy happens. The less you know, the less democracy happens. Because majority of Canadians don’t know anything about their own government and history, the ruling elite, which is a real, true elite, will keep on acting with impunity. Abuses of power, censorship have become the norm. Canadians don’t know who they are or where they’re going, so they turn internal, begin to eat the nation from the insides. Aboriginals marginalized, Francophones across the land alienated and losing their language, Anglophones holding monopoly of the land and culture and politics and internally dividing the country.
Read. Educate yourself. Start with the books, the internet. Get to know the basics first, work your way up. Schools have charts about the structure of the Canadian government that barely any students notice or know about. Start with that. Surf the internet but be wary of sites you come across, for where there’s fact there’s fiction. The internet cannot be controlled and rightfully so. See government websites for information, including the Governor General’s. Read books about political science, thought, ideas and ideology and history. We as a people cannot be a great people without knowledge and a land can’t be a nation without the rule of the people. Study aboriginal history and how the government treated them. Essentially read and ask questions but don’t believe everything you’re told. Educate yourself, and then decide: remain blind or be active? Teach others who don’t know, but be patient with some who are trying to learn and leave alone or to another those who aren’t.
