In an article entitled “Ottawa plans to teach non-racialized Canadians about systemic racism in new campaign<\/em>“, we can read that “the federal government plans to launch a national ad campaign aimed at making more white Canadians knowledgeable about systemic racism” <\/em>(https:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/politics\/ottawa-plans-to-teach-non-racialized-canadians-about-systemic-racism-in-new-campaign-1.5500329<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can’t Mr. Trudeau et al. leave us alone, please? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enough of playing with fire (or racism) and enough of ideologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We just want to be Canadians, period. Is this still possible in Canada? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, the term “racialized<\/em>” is insulting. Enough, please. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before starting their electoral campaign, again here re some tips to our lawmakers, as per one of Bambi’s earlier posts, which includes lessons from the Lebanese tragedy. These lessons are listed below verbatim in a form of “What-not-to-do-in-governance-in-order-to-avoid-Lebanonizing-one’s country<\/em><\/span>“:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“<\/em>… If Bambi may, here are some possible lessons, from out of Beirut, to our world leaders:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not let corruption AND incompetence rule your country\u2026 for too long. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not pit people against each other. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remain united\u2026 in loving\/serving your country. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put your country before any ideology, regardless of the latter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put your country before your personal and\/or tribal interests. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put your country <\/em>before<\/em><\/strong> other countries\u2019 interests.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to forgive (others\u2026 and yourself. Yes, it is possible even after a bloody civil war with over 18 massacres; <\/em>https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_massacres_in_Lebanon<\/em><\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to live and LET your citizens live\u2026 in dignity and freedom. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a clear vision of the future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude, perhaps most importantly, <\/em>always love<\/em><\/strong>, and\u2026 re-love your country (as much as needed throughout history!).<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
