Social capital disappearing under Canada's federal Liberal Party


The destruction of s
ocial capital is the legacy of the modern Liberals. If one delves into the history of Canada's Liberals, killing social capital is in their DNA. It is something they specialize in doing.

To begin with, in Canada, the Liberals launched themselves into power by zeroing in on the Indigenous population and passing the Indian Act of 1886 under Alexander MacKenzie which stands to this day as a boot on the neck of a race. That's how they launched Liberal power upon Canada.

So, killing social capital runs deeper than the habit it appears to be. What have they done for us lately in this regard? For 30 years, on the west coast of Canada, a few powerhouse Indigenous leaders struck out in a new direction and established salmon farming. They went to the Norwegians for insight and investment. The government of B.C. stood shoulder to shoulder with the Indigenous leaders on this initiative. 

The government of Canada awarded one of the Indigenous entrepreneurs, Chief Percy Starr, the Order of Canada. Suddenly a $9 billion a year economic sector was pumping life into  coastal families in every community from Bella Bella to Victoria.

Norwegian partners with Canadians of all the communities universities, colleges, schools, built this sector into a modern production of daily food safe scientifically and agriculturally certified salmon, thriving, improving,  environmentally compliant and researched since the 1990s. The industry employs 20 percent of its work force in Indigenous Canada.


And politicians slam it shut in 2029. Not just any politicians. Liberals. An industry with investors of practically UNITED Nations cred, is destroyed by the Liberals. Is there a Liberal MP in Coastal B.C? If there is, they keep a low profile.

I know of many Sikh Canadians in Surrey, B.C.  working with salmon growers to process food-safe daily delivery of delicious Canadian fish to the world. They are losing their businesses, of course, hundreds already  lost their jobs.

That is the destruction of high value social capital with a flick of Liberal fingers. And it's  bizarre. Now they turn the crosshairs on another equally large sector of  social  capital. The skilled labor force supplying mobility to society in Canada. Slamming it shut. 

Untold $Billions of dollars gone, 100,000 to 200,000 skilled jobs in all aspects from education to CEO to apprenticeship, GONE  A total massacre of Canadian social capital. They are wiping out the automotive sector. God only knows what this disappeared gasoline will do to mariners and  boaters. Done by Liberals. DONE BY THEIR LAWS.

Canadians refuse to allow them a majority government anymore.

This party is overdue for a forensic enema and flushing from this country.

Is U.S. really after the Canadian treasure?

I don't believe the U.S. wants Canada, but in reality the GROK AI informs that since the 1970s, Canada has made a lot of progress in reducing Foreign Direct Investment. The U.S. may feel they have been shoved out of Canadian investment since the 1970s. They may be moving to return to Canadian investment. In no way do I believe Liberals are the ones to protect Canadian interests, but you have to give them credit where credit is due. It was the initiatives of Pierre Trudeau to push down U.S. FDI in favor of domestic economic growth that created this different balance. Nevertheless. Mulroney reinforced it, as did Harper. So choosing one party over the other to protect Canadian sovereignty appears to be a push.

"The U.S. owns and controls approximately 15–20% of Canada’s petroleum energy sector in terms of direct ownership and control, primarily through FDI (C$109.8 billion, 20% of sector capital) and subsidiaries like Imperial Oil (ExxonMobil-owned). 

Including portfolio investments (e.g., U.S. asset managers’ stakes in Suncor, CNRL), the total U.S. financial stake rises to 30–40% of the sector’s revenues or market capitalization (C$50–60 billion in equity). This estimate is based on 2023 FDI data, historical ownership trends, and revenue shares from 2010–2015, with U.S. influence most pronounced in oil sands and refining."
