Incompetence is an Alibi
The political class consistently relies on the shield of "incompetence" to excuse systemic failures. Bureaucratic oversight, poor planning, or lack of resources are cited to justify catastrophic outcomes. This doctrine empirically disproves the incompetence defense.
When documented warnings are explicitly given to decision-makers before actions are taken, when financial conflicts align with policy outcomes, and when systemic protections are dismantled while crises are actively ignored—this is not ignorance. It is full and intentional malice. The people have not been overlooked; they have been actively targeted.
The ArriveCAN application was originally estimated to cost $80,000. It ended up costing over $93 million during a national crisis. The primary contractor was a two-person firm operating out of a residential home, and they wrote zero code.
76% of the subcontractors hired by this firm did absolutely no work on the app. Auditor General reports flagged these severe irregularities while funds continued to be disbursed.
Under the guise of compassion, MAID was expanded. The Parliamentary Budget Officer calculated that MAID would save the healthcare system $149 million per year. This fiscal report was published before Parliament voted to expand Track 2 eligibility.
Projections indicate that by 2047, the demographic extraction through state-administered death will save the government $1.273 trillion. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister held $6.8 million in Brookfield asset options, profiting from privatized healthcare logistics.
The Canadian Armed Forces is operating at a 12,785 troop shortfall. Over 76% of occupations suffer shortfalls exceeding 10%. Retention programs were defunded, and twenty different veterans have testified on the record that they were offered MAID while legitimately seeking healthcare for service-related injuries.
When whistleblowers like CFNIS Captain Rebecca Covey attempted to rectify systemic obstruction regarding sexual misconduct and chain-of-command failures, the system turned on them.
The Hogue Commission confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt that foreign state actors, primarily the PRC, are actively interfering in Canadian democratic processes, elections, and institutions.
Illegal Chinese police stations were documented operating on Canadian soil, conducting surveillance and intimidation against citizens.
For 22 months, 6 million+ unvaccinated Canadians were banned from domestic air and rail travel. Internal PHAC documents obtained via ATIP confirmed the mandate had "limited epidemiological justification" and was designed primarily as a "behavioural incentive" to increase vaccine uptake.
The Oakes test — Canada's constitutional standard for limiting Charter rights — was failed on all four criteria. When citizens protested, the Emergencies Act was invoked for the first time in Canadian history. The Federal Court later ruled that invocation "unreasonable."
The verdict is clear. The political class is not failing by accident. They are succeeding by design.
Five independent evidence threads. Five different departments. Five different target populations. One consistent pattern: decision-makers are warned, financial conflicts are documented, and the policy proceeds anyway. This is not incompetence.
