Canadians must inspire a new nationalism against the fascistic ambitions of the NAU and Globalization

by Iain Mackenzie

	Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

During the 1960’s and into the late 1980’s during the “Free Trade Election“, Canadian nationalism pivoted on affirming Canada’s political economic independence from the United States. The other characteristic of that nationalism, was that it was anchored in a “English Canadian” identity, mindful of America’s historical imperial ambitions against Canada.

Former Pierre Elliot Trudeau sought to transform that “English Canadian nationalism” into a pan-Canadian context, inspired by bilingualism, and repatriating Canada’s constitution from colonial oversight, by Britain. Unfortunately, Mr. Trudeau was not successful in his national unity efforts, in relation to consolidating a pan-Canadian identity. Arguably, Mr. Trudeau while winning referendums against Quebec separatism in the relative short term, essentially in the long term, fanned the flames of Quebec separatism. Mr. Trudeau’s elite conception of politics, also undermined his abilities to help foster an enduring social consciousness in Canada, that could follow in his footsteps to defend Canada against the sell-outs that he battled against.

	Traitors among Us is a book for further reading on this subject.

In order to save Canada from a fascist agenda which is aimed at creating a Global Empire under the mantra of “Globalization”, Canadians need to champion a new nationalism.

This new nationalism, within the multicultural and officially “bilingual” context of Canada, needs to critically appreciate and affirm the cosmopolitan identity of Canada.

The new Canadian nationalism must operate independent from political elites, an must be unlike the former Canadian nationalism, which pivoted on championing by a small group of loyal elites that have since all sold out. Canadians need to therefore champion their own nationalism, in the context of defending their system of rights and privileges to be Canadians free of foreign control and exploitation. This includes, for example, defending Canada’s social fabric and programmes including universal public healthcare, and our cultural heritage.

The new nationalism needs to be inclusive, and must build on the dynamism of Canada as a multicultural and de facto multilingual society. The new Canadian nationalism must also confront the political deception that is associated with Quebec separatism, and which is based upon re-creating Canadian history in the image of elites that seek to rationalize the break-up of Canada.
