Ukrainization of Canada –

from Donald Macdonald to Donald Trump

For the past 40 years we have shared my den, rarely making contact. It is my 1985 book: “Requiem for Canada – the Donald Macdonald Report on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada”. Occasionally I quoted from memory but I should have been more affectionate.

Back in the 1980s, Father Trudeau had to hide his lack of skill on matters economic and went about it the politician’s way. He instituted the Donald Macdonald Royal Commission on the Economy, endowed it with $20M (over $100M in current dollars) and went back to his trampoline-jumping and fuddle-duddling the Mps.

“Donald Mac”, the Royal Commissar, quickly amassed an amazing bureaucracy and unleashed it to sniff out the wounds of our economy, like cop dogs work shipping container terminals. Then Mulroney got into the PMO and Donald Mac had to change his tune to one Mulroney wanted to dance to. He reset the autopilot, revved up the burners and out came a vacuous report resembling a big hot air balloon. It blew up on its maiden flight scattering debris all over the land.

The Report was 2,000 pages long which is too heavy to hold up to read, so they partitioned it into three. Hold the surprise, for it had Appendices too: 72 in number, hefty in size – Malarkey has no bounds, Truth has enemies. Imagine if you can, 3 sows with 72 piglets in a pig sty. The FT gang recognized it would take much talk to launder Mulroney for delivery to the gullible.

Mulroney was a political mistress of America, this making him unfit to govern Canada. To overcome this, Lyin’ Brian stressed in the 1984 election that he would never have “truck or trade with the yankees”. He fooled many of those he was lying to. But this was too big to write off as a mere “political campaign lie” and the MacD Commission was a godsend. He lied to Canadians that he had not lied on the election trail and then attribute his post-election frolics with the USA to himself being a patriot, a true democratic leader abiding by and executing the public will, as harvested and vetted by the “Great MacD” Royal “Gravy Train” (© Don McGillivray). As for the cargo, the Royal Gravy Train weighed in as “what two students, working at a leisurely pace, might have produced in a week” (© Jeffrey Simpson).

US Presidents had a standing mandate to do Free Trade but they didn’t dare try until Mulroney opened the door and his arms to them. To obscure that and Canadianize the FT they turned it into FTI, the “I” standing for an unspecified Initiator.

Yet, when they unleashed the FTI beast upon us, the resistance flared up. This made Mulroney compose a diabolic plan, in a class with the wooden Horse that facilitated the burning of Troy. Since the Gravy Train flopped and there was no credible myth to uphold the FTI, its pushers spread word that it was like God, innately inexplicable. FT was a “Leap of Faith” we should take, they said, and it is safe because if we don’t like it, we can always abandon it. “Get drug-addicted and if you do not like it, get de-addicted”. I ridiculed their “logic” and they suppressed my voice.

The FT caused a wave of books on the subject. My book, “Requiem for Canada”, was the first “against” FT; the Fraser Institute Michael Walker’s was the first “for” it. Later on the Globe and Mail ran an editorial, lamenting the lack of info on FT. I thought the newspaper ought to explain why the media had left the nation in the dark, given their raison d’être is to enlighten us. Upon recovering consciousness (© AirFarce), I took pen to paper to fight back. As fate would have it by then there were a dozen books on FT; half “for”, the rest “against”. I made a list and fired it off to the G&M, suggesting they print it to mitigate the public ignorance they had perceived.

The G&M flexed its freedom-of-the-press muscle and tossed me a “pink slip” about having waste-basketed the FT book list, referring to it as “Letter to the Editor”. Pity!

Current events made me pull “Requiem” from the shelf. After reading the prologue, I had to pour me a strong scotch. What knocked me out was that 40 years ago, I had warned that if we do not halt the FT treason, Canada will become the “Ukraine of the USA”. Yes, in those words. Unfortunately my prediction is now “uncredited” front page news.

We would not be the mouse Donald the Big Mouth” plays with now if my prediction had not been suppressed and my suggestion was heeded. Freedom of speech, the ultimate freedom, comprises sarcasm and mockery and it could have done its magic. We would have laughed the Macdonald clowns out-of-town and now Trump would not be messing with us.

Yes, I am proud of my book, all 300 pages of it. I am equally sad the press abused its “freedom” to empower Lyin’ Brian to make us the Ukraine of the USA.
