Winds of Change
The winds of change are rising. I can feel it—like a storm on the horizon, like the whisper of something powerful moving through the air, curling around the bones of this country, stirring the hearts of those who have long stood silent. It’s coming. It’s inevitable. And it is necessary.
Canada stands on the edge of a moment that will define us. We have long been the quiet neighbour, the steady hand, the measured voice amid the chaos. But silence is no longer an option. The threat to our sovereignty is not some distant shadow—it is here. It is roaring in the voice of a demagogue south of the border, a man whose entire political existence is built on the destruction of anything that does not serve him. And make no mistake, Canada does not serve him. We never have, and we never will. And that is why we are in his crosshairs.
Donald Trump is not just a threat to America—he is a threat to us. He has made no secret of his disdain for Canada. He views us as weak, as a nation to be bullied, as a pawn to be played with and discarded when convenient. He has promised to rip up trade deals that sustain our economy. He has declared that NATO is an auction house, where protection is bought and sold, and Canada—our Canada—has been marked for the chopping block. The damage will not stop at America’s borders. It will spill over into our land, into our livelihoods, into the very fabric of what we have built.
And yet, I can feel it—the shift. The rejection. The awakening. Canadians are not blind to the poison that has seeped into American politics, and we are no longer willing to let it fester here. We have seen what Trumpism has done to our southern neighbours. We have seen democracy twisted into a grotesque mockery of itself, turned into a game for power-hungry men who have no love for the people they claim to serve. We have watched as truth itself has been murdered, replaced with convenient fictions, empty promises, and hate-fuelled rhetoric that pits neighbour against neighbour.
But here, in our land, the tides are turning. The far-right, emboldened by Trump’s rise, has tried to take root in Canada. We saw it with the so-called “Freedom Convoy,” a movement that pretended to be about rights but was, in reality, a hijacking of our flag, our streets, our peace. They tried to tell us that tyranny had arrived in Canada because they were asked to think beyond themselves. They tried to tell us that a mask, a vaccine, a moment of collective responsibility, was an unforgivable assault on their freedoms. And yet, now, when a real threat looms—when a man who would tear apart our trade, our security, our place in the world has seized power once again—those same voices are silent.
But we are not silent. Not anymore. The spell has broken. Canadians see what is happening, and we are done with it. We are done with the imported far-right bullshit that has tried to slither its way into our politics, poisoning discourse with American-style division and anger. You will fail, Pierre Poilievre. You are done, and we are done with the lies, the manipulation, the fearmongering, the attempts to drag us into the same pit that America is desperately trying to claw its way out of.
Change is coming. The rejection of this ideology is building like a tidal wave, and it will crash down with a force that cannot be stopped. The rise of Trump’s extremism has galvanized us—not in support, but in defiance. Because we are different from the United States. We are not a nation that bows to strongmen. We are not a nation that turns its back on democracy. We are not a nation that lets hatred consume us from within.
We are Canada. And we will not be moved.
The next months and years will test us. Trump’s second coming has already sent shockwaves through the world, and we are feeling them. There will be moments of doubt, moments of anger, moments when it will seem like the tide is too strong. But we will stand. Because we are a country that believes in something greater than fear. We believe in unity, in compassion, in decency, in the shared responsibility of building a nation that cares for all of its people. And we will not let the darkness that has consumed so much of the world take hold here.
The winds of change are howling now, moving through every street, every home, every heart that still believes in this country and what it stands for. It is not the sound of despair. It is not the sound of defeat. It is the sound of a people waking up.
And when the time comes, when the moment of decision is upon us, we will not hesitate. We will stand against this tide of hatred, this wave of destruction, and we will push it back. Because this is our country. And we will not let it be taken from us.
Change is coming. And this time, it is ours to claim.
