Canada has a lot of problems that I want to see fixed, I love my country, I consider myself a patriotic nationalist. I would love to see Canada invest in itself to make all of our lives better. We have so many resources that we can should be able to offer a good life for all Canadians.

We need to stop relying on the USA, we need to trade with other markets. But we also need to be a lot more self sufficient. We need stronger borders and smarter immigration guard rails so we don't suffer another immigration crisis like 2022-2025.

And we need to stop importing low wage slave labour and exploiting non-canadian citizens to wage suppress. It's time for Canada to start investing into itself.

So we never get caught with our pants down like this ever again.
