🇨🇦 Fastest-growing Ebola outbreak, and Ottawa still worships borderless virtue
The sharpest absurdity here is not that Canadians are on the ground in the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history. It is that our governing class treats every global crisis as a branding opportunity while pretending national borders, screening, and basic self-preservation are somehow old-fashioned. The reported angle is heroic Canadians abroad. Fine. But where is the adult conversation about protecting Canadians at home first.
This is the Trudeau-era reflex in one frame: perform compassion internationally, hollow out competence domestically, then trust bureaucrats and media handlers to tell the public not to worry. Same script every time. Global mobility for everyone, sovereignty for no one, and any demand for hard borders and hard health controls smeared as paranoia. A serious country would lead with containment, screening, and national readiness, not sentimental storytelling for the professional-managerial class. Canada cannot keep acting like a post-national NGO with a passport.
