So under the Trudeau government, Canada ...

* signed the biggest arms deal in world history (on remembrance day no less)
* voted for nuclear weapons in the middle east
* has helped (and subsidized) the supply of military equipment to saudi arabia to use against innocent civilians
* has helped supply ukraine with arms to use against innocent civilians in donbass, and has generally acted to instigate escalation of conflict and ethnic cleansing in ukraine

Remember that next time someone suggests canada is a force of peace in the world under trudeau

Indeed, the proverbial honesty and integrity of the administration must be attributed chiefly to this fact. Finally, the monarch fulfilled a high cultural function among the people, which made amends for many of its defects

Beyond this there is the fact that the whole corps of officials, and the Army in particular, are raised above the level of political party obligations, and still another positive feature was that the supreme rulership of the State was embodied in the monarch, as an individual person, who could serve as the symbol of responsibility which a monarch has to bear more seriously than any anonymous parliamentary majority

Furthermore, the venerable tradition which this institution possesses, arouses a feeling which gives it weight and authority

The monarchical form of government guarantees stability in the direction of public affairs and safeguards public offices from the speculative turmoil of ambitious politicians

Only thus will it be possible to talk of human progress, for otherwise the world would never be free of chaos, since each generation would feel entitled to reject the past and to destroy all the work of the past, as the necessary preliminary to any new work of its own

The meaning and purpose of revolutions cannot be to tear down the whole building but to take away what has not been well fitted into it or is unsuitable and to fill in the gab thus caused, after which the main construction of the building will be carried on.

Only those who have nothing of value to give to the world, but pretend that they have much to bestow, will oppose everything that already exists and would have it destroyed at all costs. This holds good not only for new phenomenon in the cultural domain,but also in politics. The more inferior new revolutionary movements are, the more will they try to denigrate the old forms.

The life of the people must be freed from the asphyxiating perfume of our modern eroticism and also from every unmanly and prudish form of insincerity. In all these things, the aim and the method must be determined by thoughtful consideration for the preservation of our national wellbeing in body and soul.

This process of cleansing our culture will have to be applied in practically all spheres. The stage, art, literature, the cinema, the press and advertisement posters, all must have the stains of pollution removed and be used in the service of a national and cultural ideal

If we do not drag out youth out of the morass of their present environment they will be engulfed by it. Those people who do not want to see these things are deliberately encouraging them and are guilty of spreading the effects of prostitution to the future, for the future belongs to our younger generation.

Those who want seriously to combat prostitution must first of all assist in removing the spiritual conditions on which it thrives. They will have to clean up the moral pollution of our city 'culture' fearlessly and without regard for the outcry that will follow

The courts of law throw from time to time a distressing light on the spiritual life of our fourteen and fifteen year old children.

Who therefore will be surprised to learn that general disease claims as victims at this age? And is it not a frightful scandal to see the number of young men physically weak and intellectually ruined, who have been introduced to the mysteries of marriage by the whores of the big cities?

Anyone who has not altogether lost contact with adolescent yearnings will realise that all this must have very grave consequences. This seductive and sensuous atmosphere puts into the heads of our youth notions of which, at their age, they ought still to be ignorant

Unfortunately, the results of this kind of education can best be seen in our contemporary youth who are prematurely grown up and, therefore old before their time.

The fight against pollution of the mind must be waged simultaneously with the training of the body. Today the whole of our public life may be compared to a hot-house for the forced growth of sexual notions and excitements.

A glance at the till-of-fare provided by our cinemas, playhouses and theatres l, sufficed to prove that this is not the right food, especially for our young people. Hoardings and advertisements kiosks combine to attract the public in the most vulgar manner.
