Pioneering Struggle

If we look at a nation as being it’s people, then Canada is truly a great country. Canada is a nation with a history of hard working, proud and moral individuals who pioneered this country into it’s diverse and multicultural family we so much enjoy today. It wasn’t easy taming this vast land that stretches from Newfoundland Labrador to British Columbia. For many of our predecessors life was anything but easy. The dream of finding a new life in a new land was the inspiration that allowed the pioneers of Canada to persevere.



From across this great country, province by province, territory by territory, the greatness of Canada is enriched by the endless contributions made by all. Shared by all was a vision, a hope, a dream of a new life and home with freedoms and liberties, with peace and quiet and the means to find one’s path and destiny. Many lives perished and were lost during this pioneering quest, but what this land had to offer was worth the effort. Although many perished and were unable to experience the benefits directly, the fruit of their labours was for the future generations of their families.



Dreams of a rich and providing new land pass as they are with the reality that fulfills the most grandeur of dreams had. Canada, a land with vast riches of minerals and natural resources surpass the most enormous of wealth envisioned by the past pioneers of this country. Canada is today because of the vision, blood and sweat of our ancestors for it was their pain and suffering that we have the potential that exists today.



To honour our ancestors and protect, share and continue their vision and ensure their efforts were not in vain we need to soldier on and forward. The visions had by our ancestors are nonexistent within the confines of the federal government. In fact, Canadian vision is nonexistent period within the federal government. Canadian vision is dictated by foreign countries whose only interest in Canada is our wealth and enslaving Canadians into providing it. This country is being sold out and Canadians are being made slaves to it.



A land for all, a home for all, a job for all – unfortunately not all – not many can make claim to any of this vision. Have you lost your job, your pension and your home because of foreign economic strife? Are you having to start out all over again with an outlook that now, instead of retiring at 55, you will be 75; instead of owning your own home mortgage free at 55, you will be 75? For those of you who aren’t in this position yet, the likelihood is that you will be. When your country’s economy is based on exports, your job stability is in the hands of foreign countries. Is the Canadian vision that our nation is dependent on foreign countries at the cost of our independence, at the cost of our financial security in having a stable job?
