Only On The Walters Post

By GW

These are my own thoughts from what I’ve seen and lived through. I’m sharing them to spark some thinking and honest conversation, not because I have all the answers.

I was reading today about the U.S. Marines getting ready again to deploy in Los Angeles, all because protests and riots are breaking out across the country. The thing is, you can spin that any way you want, but here’s how I see it.

So…when you bring in too many people, from too many different backgrounds, all at once, without a real plan to help them settle, and truly become part of the country, you’re asking for trouble. And I don’t care how unpopular that sounds. It’s not about race, it’s about human nature.

People are no different, in many ways, than animals. Years ago, anyone who kept animals knew better than to toss a bunch of different breeds into one pen, and expect peace. You’d have chaos, fights over territory, over food, and more so…over who’s in charge. That’s just what happens when instincts clash and there’s no clear structure.

Now look at the U.S. people are angry and divided, and it’s not always the folks who were born and raised there causing the damage, at the moment I think it’s those carrying deep-rooted grievances, folks who never really became part of the whole in the first place.

And…. if we’re not careful here in Canada, we’ll be heading down that same road. I’m not saying we shouldn’t help people or open our doors, but we’ve got to be smart about it. “You can’t just keep pouring water into a cup that’s already full.“

This isn’t just about “protests.” It’s about a country losing its balance. And once that balance tips too far, it’s hard to steady things again.

I’ve lived long enough to know that harmony doesn’t just happen, it’s something you have to work at, and protect, or you lose it. Which is the way things are turning out now in the USA. Get ready Canada!!!.
