🇨🇦 Boats out, beds full, state missing

A Canadian community had to flee by private boats while Thunder Bay ran out of rooms. That is the level of emergency capacity in Ontario after years of grandstanding from Ottawa and Queen’s Park. Collins First Nation, with just 30 to 40 residents, may be completely devastated, while Gull Bay says there are no accommodations left in Thunder Bay and evacuees are now being pushed onward to Toronto, as reported.

This is what managerial Canada looks like: endless agencies, statements from Jill Dunlop’s office, co-ordination with Indigenous Services Canada, and somehow people still escape fires in their own boats. The same political class that can process record population growth, fund DEI bureaucracies, and sermonize about climate virtue cannot secure basic domestic resilience in the North. Highways close, rooms vanish, whole communities teeter, and the official response is another email from a spokesperson. Sovereignty is not speeches in Ottawa. It is the ability to protect your own citizens on your own land, and this regime keeps failing that test.
