An Open Letter to the Prime Minister of Canada

From: A Citizen Tired of Excuses
To the Prime Minister, Parliament, Premiers, and every elected officeholder entrusted with the future of this nation:
The world is changing. And the stories the media won’t tell you are the ones you need to hear most — because they prove something you’ve long denied:
👉 Government is not the answer.
👉 Big spending is not compassion.
👉 Free markets, strong leadership, and the courage to say “no” to bureaucracy can save even the most broken nations.
Right now, you’re driving Canada toward the edge — piling on debt, punishing productivity, and pretending that more printed money and empty slogans will somehow fix what you’ve broken.
But here’s the truth:
Other nations have faced collapse — and turned things around. Not through fantasy. Not through ideology. Through truth, tough decisions, and trust in their people.
Alberta – Ralph Klein’s Debt-Busting Reforms
Let’s start at home.
In the early 1990s, Alberta was on the brink:
• Skyrocketing debt
• Runaway deficits
• An economy choked by government waste
Enter Premier Ralph Klein — a straight-talking former mayor with a message: “We’re not cutting for the sake of cutting. We’re saving our future.”
He slashed spending by over 20%, balanced the budget by 1994, and paid off the entire provincial debt by 2004.
• He froze MLA salaries
• He privatized non-core services
• He cut perks and restructured health care
• And he didn’t blink when the media or unions screamed
The result? Alberta entered the 2000s booming — debt-free, confident, and leading the nation.
You can cut government, protect services, and grow the economy — if you have the courage to try.
Argentina – Javier Milei’s Economic Shock Therapy
Just a year and a half ago, Argentina was collapsing:
• Inflation over 200%
• Nearly 50% of the country in poverty
• The socialist government printing pesos like confetti
• Total collapse of faith in the economy
Then came Javier Milei — wild hair, zero patience, and one message:
“There is no money.”
In his first month:
• Slashed government spending by 30%
• Balanced the budget
• Cut half the federal ministries
• Ended fake currency controls
• Shrank the money supply
And guess what?
Inflation is falling fast
Investment is returning
Rent prices dropped — after Milei scrapped rent control
The economy is growing again
No gimmicks. No handouts. Just truth, action, and trust in the people.
El Salvador – Nayib Bukele’s War on Crime and Corruption
Five years ago, El Salvador was overrun by gangs:
• The murder capital of the world
• Entire neighborhoods controlled by cartels
• A failed state in everything but name
Then came President Nayib Bukele.
He:
• Declared war on gangs
• Arrested tens of thousands
• Built the world’s largest prison
• Restored law and order
• Introduced tech-friendly reforms and new investment strategies
Today?
✅ Homicide rate down 90%
✅ Tourism surging
✅ Foreign investment returning
✅ Citizens proud to stay instead of fleeing
He made hard choices. He ignored the critics. And it worked.
Germany – Ludwig Erhard’s Post-War Miracle
After WWII, Germany was in ruins:
• Cities bombed out
• Industry destroyed
• A demoralized and divided people
Then came Ludwig Erhard, economic director of West Germany.
He:
• Abolished price controls overnight
• Introduced the Deutsche Mark
• Cut taxes
• Trusted the market, not central planners
The result?
The Wirtschaftswunder — the German economic miracle.
Germany went from devastation to becoming Europe’s strongest economy — in less than a generation.
United Kingdom – Margaret Thatcher’s Comeback Against Socialism
In the 1970s, Britain was dying under socialism:
• Unions held the government hostage
• Inflation and unemployment soared
• Nationalized industries bled billions
Then came Margaret Thatcher.
She:
• Took on the unions
• Cut taxes and regulation
• Privatized failing state industries
• Made Britain stand on its feet again
Her enemies called her cruel. The media mocked her. But she didn’t blink. And in time, even her critics admitted: “She saved Britain from collapse.”
Estonia – A Free-Market Rebirth from Soviet Ruin
In 1991, Estonia had just escaped the Soviet Union — poor, broken, and uncertain.
Rather than cling to the past, leaders like Mart Laar:
• Enacted a flat tax
• Privatized rapidly
• Embraced digital government
• Trusted free-market capitalism
Today, Estonia is:
🌐 One of Europe’s most innovative, economically free nations
🧠 A model of digital governance and low corruption
💡 A shining example of what happens when you get government out of the way
So Why Not Us?
Canada once stood for:
• Self-reliance
• Enterprise
• Moral clarity
• Truth in leadership
But today?
• You inflate away our savings
• Crush small business with red tape
• Burden our children with debt
• Preach “equity” while destroying productivity
• Celebrate bureaucracy instead of building things
You’ve forgotten that prosperity doesn’t come from Ottawa — it comes from the grit of everyday Canadians.
It’s Time to Lead Like Milei, Bukele, Erhard, Thatcher, Laar — and Ralph Klein
✅ Cut the bloat
✅ Balance the budget
✅ End the printing press
✅ Deregulate and decentralize
✅ Restore law and order
✅ Protect freedom of speech and enterprise
✅ Stop trying to save everyone with borrowed money
✅ Let Canadians build, farm, invest, and thrive again
Ecclesiastes 5:9 —
“This is gain for a land in every way: a king committed to cultivated fields.”
Translation? A good leader doesn’t promise free stuff — he creates the space for people to build.
To Every Politician Reading This We don’t need more subsidies. We don’t need more slogans. We need leaders with backbone.
If Milei can fix Argentina…
If Bukele can reclaim El Salvador…
If Erhard can rebuild Germany…
If Thatcher can rescue Britain…
If Estonia can rise from Soviet collapse…
If Ralph Klein can pay off Alberta’s debt…
What’s stopping you?
Signed,
A Canadian who still believes in freedom.
