Readers are asking:
Am I glad I "escaped" Canada?

Sat May 10 2025

Blazing Reader,

It's been about three weeks since I left Canada. With the recent re-election of the most overtly tyrannical and destructive party in the history of the nation, many subscribers are asking me if I'm glad I've escaped the clutches of the dying beast (or some other such dramatic metaphor).

In some ways, it feels more like having watched a neighbour finally get rid of an abusive husband (in this case Trudeau), only to find out later they've remarried an even more dangerous and deceptive sociopath (who wears the same T-shirt to bed).

It's like Canadians have forgotten all the lockdowns, the masks, the injections, the inflation, the debt, the censorship and the lies of the last five years.

Any politician who supported the camouflaged violence of the COVID-19 mandates has shown that he or she can't be trusted. Sadly, that's most of them.

As Dr. Chris Shoemaker testified in Alberta, a review of the national death statistics for 2021-2022 shows that Canadian children who received the COVID-19 shot were 82 times more likely to die within six months of the injection than kids who were not. In my town, I remember one girl dying of a stroke after her shot. Why did she get the shot? So she wouldn't get kicked off the local ice hockey team. This is the government Canadians voted back in.

But beyond the physical maiming and death caused by coercing citizens into injecting poison into their children, there were the pyschological effects of the whole COVID charade. The Brownstone Institute describes school closures alone as a "crime against a generation" in their recent newsletter:

"The under-30 generation is now marked by ill-health, illiteracy, innumeracy, digital addiction, substance abuse, emotional immaturity, psychmed attachments that ruin lives, astonishing intellectual superficiality, deep and dark cynicism, and philosophical nihilism."

There was no justification or excuse for this. Yet, people will defend to the grave whatever politician, party or news station they identify with — despite the fact that these politicians, parties and media outlets supported (to varying degrees) what may have been the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on a global scale.

Call it Stockholm Syndrome, gas-lighting, or mass psychosis. I don't know. I'm not a shrink. I'm a novelist. But my novel, Much Ado About Corona, exposed the psychological hijacking that began in 2020 under the smokescreen of "public health." At the same time, my 500-pager depicts those who were not only immune to the brainwashing but brave enough to risk everything to oppose it.

Without such people, Canada would be in a far worse place than it is now. Ultimately, I trust in the goodness of individual human beings working together in their own self-interest, not the inherently violent religion known as government.

—John C.A. Manley

PS If you don't see government as a religion (with many sects) based on the ever-present threat of violence to ensure its funding, power and existence, I recommend checking out Carey Wedler's six-minute video, The world's most dangerous religion...
