The Niagara Independent, November 20, 2020\u00a0 \u2013 <\/em>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has now openly referred to his federal government\u2019s post-COVID-19 economic policies as complying with \u201cThe Great Reset<\/em>,\u201d the title of a document first published in 2016 by the World Economic Forum (WEF). Our Canadian PM is focused on using the uncertain times created by the pandemic to \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d and reshape our country\u2019s economic and social make-up.<\/p>\n Before broaching what this means for Canada, here are a few pertinent points to appreciate the path Canadians are currently tripping along. \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d is a politically-charged phrase that serves as a mantra in the WEF\u2019s\u00a0The Great Reset<\/em>. It\u2019s an euphemism used by globalist-minded leaders like Justin Trudeau whose objective is to redesign capitalism, advance an international green agenda, and ultimately establish a new global order. (Google it \u2013 this information is all public.)<\/p>\n COVID-19 \u2013 The Great Reset<\/em>\u00a0(July 2020) is the latest policy document written by Klaus Schwab, WEF founder and CEO. Schwab describes how the coronavirus has disrupted both economic and social infrastructure and it provides an opportunity \u201cto create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward.\u201d The WEF has advanced a post-COVID plan to be implemented over the next 10 years. By 2030, countries will have reformed to adhere to the objectives set by the economic and social governing bodies of the United Nations (U.N.).<\/p>\n Last point, early next year the WEF globalists will gather at their annual Davos Summit. The summit will spotlight the Global Shapers program, a youth activism initiative now operating in 400 cities around the world. More than 1,300 people have been trained and financed as climate activists and organizers to protest for change. Beginning in 2021, countries will need to manage \u201cgrassroots movements\u201d that will be demonstrating for global climate change solutions.<\/p>\n In Canada, Justin Trudeau has publicly tied the country\u2019s COVID-19 recovery to\u00a0The Great Reset<\/em>\u00a0as well as the 2030 objectives of the U.N. Twice in the last two months Canada\u2019s PM has announced this direction for the country. In a video conference to a U.N. audience in September, Trudeau stated: \u201cThis pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset. This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality and\u00a0climate change\u2026 Building back better means getting support to the most vulnerable while maintaining our momentum on reaching the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.\u201d<\/p>\n In front of an audience of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce at the end of October, PM Trudeau made the commitment to \u201cbuild back better in a fiscally sustainable way\u201d \u2014 although he provided no details regarding the government\u2019s fiscal plans. When pressed to discuss the country\u2019s finances, the PM evaded the questions by stating: \u201cBut I think there\u2019s a lot of uncertainty still around where we\u2019re going to end at the end of this pandemic, and I think it would be premature to be locking things down.\u201d<\/p>\n The PM\u2019s messages are ripped directly from the pages of\u00a0COVID-19 \u2013 The Great Reset<\/em>\u00a0and Canadians can expect to repeatedly hear this script in the coming months. The Schwab book foresees that COVID-19 lockdowns will gradually ease, but anxiety about the world\u2019s social and economic prospects will intensify. The economic downturn may lead countries\u2019 economies to their worst depression since the 1930s. Schwab\u2019s answer \u2013 echoed by Trudeau \u2013 is: \u201cIn short, we need a \u201cGreat Reset\u201d of capitalism. We must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems.\u201d<\/p>\n What exactly does this reset mean for our country? The policies that Canadians can expect to see introduced are laid out clearly in WEF documents and presentations:<\/p>\n Canadians will hear about the wonderful promises of the\u00a0\u201cBuilding Back Better\u201d Canada Plan<\/em>. It has the potential to create or maintain 6.3 million green jobs. With $109 billion\u00a0investment by the federal government over the next 10 years, Canada will generate $790 billion in green initiatives and this will result in a net-zero economic recovery. The plan includes introducing new government programs: retrofits of homes and workplaces, accelerated electric vehicle uptake, greening of the electricity grid, and more. It will also mean the decarbonizing of Canada\u2019s natural resources sectors.<\/p>\n This plan hinges on Canadian private sector investments of $681 billion in the next ten years. And (here is the detail that is not being revealed by Trudeau and Finance Minister Freeland) the Government intends on securing these investment dollars by \u201creinventing capitalism.\u201d WEF documents explain how this will be accomplished; how governments will be \u201cfuture-proofing capitalism\u201d by tightly tethering the private sector to government regulatory control. WEF recommends to global leaders:<\/p>\n WEF instructs its global leaders to leverage the COVID-19 pandemic, and make sure that it becomes the catalyst for a profoundly positive transformation of the global economy.<\/p>\n There are more details \u2014 a lot more. But how much of \u201cThe Great Reset\u201d can Canadians comprehend \u2013 and how much of this grand design will they believe? Justin Trudeau is betting on both Canadians\u2019 apathy in all things political, and their trust in government to allow him to implement the WEF plan.<\/p>\n However, to those who are watching this disturbing scenario unfold, Ottawa political commentator Spencer Fernando sounds the alarm: \u201cWhat was once called a conspiracy theory is now confirmed by Trudeau, as we can see the elites using this crisis as an excuse to centralize power and reshape our lives in their own image.\u201d<\/p>\n Fernando suggests, \u201cIf Trudeau wants to use The Great Reset or Agenda 2030 to fundamentally change Canada into some kind of Euro-Green socialist utopia, then he should seek a mandate from the people.\u201d Precisely. Should not Canadians have a chance to vote on the country\u2019s recovery course, on its future?<\/p>\n Chris George<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is an Ottawa-based government affairs advisor and wordsmith, president of\u00a0CG&A COMMUNICATIONS<\/a>.
