Today I am mourning the wonderful, peaceful, and prosperous country I immigrated into over 20 years ago. I haven't moved since but the welcoming, strong, and free country is gone. It's not the same as it was then. Nothing is what it used to be. Unrecognizable. For the worse.

I thought I would never leave. I thought I exchanged the good for great. And I did. Until it started morphing into something I didn't sign up for.
I come from one of the former Soviet satellites. I grew up in bona fide communism with triple wired borders and censorship.

Sometimes I forgot to lock the car or the door on our house at night and nothing happened. I double check now.
I once dropped my wallet on a walk with my then toddler and found it exactly where I thought it would be 24 hours later. I don't think I would find it today.

Our children played freely in our backyard, then with other kids in the local park. As teenagers, they walked around the neighborhood alone or biked and they were safe because we lived in a civilized country. One of the very best.

Later, drugs were legalized because it was so very cool. Our oldest was in high school then. It took extra effort and hours upon hours of explaining why the government is wrong on this one. I wasn't and I'm not familiar with drugs. I didn't prepare for this.

While I was grateful that we didn't live in Vancouver, the way the public schools presented drugs to teenagers made it hard to resist vs. discourage from using them. Drugs were everywhere. The streets smelled like manure. Drivers were "high".

Then this absolute madness came like a tsunami. One day my blond haired blue eyed middles schooler told me I was a c*s woman and we are extremely privileged because we are white.
This is when I started paying close attention to everything they watched and listened to.

Plandemic was the hard one. At this point I was on the verge of potentially becoming a "strict conservative immigrant parent who doesn't believe anything and anyone". And "paranoid" to boot. How do you parent through this? Then knockdowns & travel bans.

Then insolvency became a norm in Canadian society. I feel sorry for young families with small children now. I still remember that unpleasant feeling at the cash register when I wasn't sure if we were $600 or $800 in deficit by the end of the month.

Alberta, our beautiful new home should be filthy rich. Why it's not?
Canada was a prosperous country when we came. Why it's not now?

Drugged people, obsessed with artificial pride and hedonism vote absolute diletants, obsessed with power, money, and white powder (snow).

Is Canada sold? Who bought it? When? For how much?
What about us who came here under now false pretences that we are giving our children better future.
What does this future look like?
Is there still a reason to celebrate?

In the last 20 years I kept asking myself if I had made a good decision to leave everything and everyone behind and come here. I have become increasingly doubtful lately. I don't recognize this country anymore. It hurts because I loved it.

Don't be surprised when people from a few still normal provinces will form another human chain because they will want to leave the country that abandoned them first. Demoralized them. Impoverished them. Disregarded them.
How many more Canada Days will there be?
