While reading the news on Tuesday, Vimy Ridge Day, I saw a National Post opinion piece by my old friend Rick Hillier, our former chief of defence staff (CDS). He was decrying the death of the dream that was Canada, and it was hard not to agree with his sentiments.

Affordability (or the lack thereof), ideology politics, climate alarmism, higher taxes, mounting government debt, rising antisemitism, extreme immigration, leaders dividing us — the list of what ails our once-great nation goes on. I feel the same as Hillier, and got into real trouble for saying it during a November 2022 speech at the Canadian Museum of History.
