The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 143
Canada is in a lot of trouble, but few of us realize how far back the trouble really began. In 1968, Canada was swept with a madness affectionately called "Trudeaumania," and a new prime minister, Pierre Trudeau, was swept into office with an interest in making major transformational changes to the Canadian circumstance. Though his ambitions were greater than what the political environment in Canada in the 1970s and 1980s could tolerate, the elder Trudeau shifted policies and government institutions strongly into the radical model championed even today by some of the most concerning outfits on the planet, including the World Economic Forum (WEF), United Nations (UN), and the infamous neo-Malthusian "Club of Rome." In fact, in this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay exposes that Pierre Trudeau worked closely with the Club of Rome (https://www.utpjournals.press/doi/full/10.3138/cjh-57-2-2021-0101/) before it officially launched and set Canada's environmental policy from its outset in line with their wicked ambitions. Join him to learn how deeply infected the Canadian Liberal Party is, and has been for fifty years, with bad Communistic ideas like "degrowth" (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/08/degrowth-wests-leap-backwards/), "sustainable development" (https://newdiscourses.com/2021/10/sustainability-tyranny-21st-century/), "inclusion" (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/11/the-fraud-of-diversity-and-inclusion/), "Net Zero" (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/05/absolute-zero-and-the-western-holodomor/), and the "well-being economy" (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/11/degrowth-distributism-well-being-economy/).
