Canada may be broken
Canada May be Broken But It’s Not an Illusion
Debunking the Theory That Canada Does Not Exist
By Jeffrey Rustand | Retired Lawyer
Introduction
There is a theory, or interpretation, or narrative that is gaining popularity in Canada, especially in Alberta, which insists that Canada is not a sovereign nation and ultimately citizens are not under the jurisdiction of Ottawa. I will call it, using its own self-reference, the Canada the Illusion theory (CtI theory or just CtI). CtI holds that effective upon enactment of the Statute of Westminster, 1931 Canada ceased to exist and all sovereignty reverted to the peoples of the several provinces. British Columbia became sovereign. Alberta too. Every province became sovereign, albeit without a constitution or government.
Canada The Illusion
Released December 18, 2024 – A film produced by Timm Stein, in collaboration with Xander La Rue, Doug Force and The Myth Is Canada.
This film exposes the fraud that has been committed on the people of the land mass commonly referred to as “Canada”. It highlights the historic facts and showcases in detail who committed the fraud and when it was committed. It presents hard facts that show how the illusion was implemented and how the people have been deceived, trapped and enslaved. It also presents the solution for the people to free themselves from the illusion and create a new reality.
The creators state, this film is entirely based on facts and not opinions. The viewer is strongly encouraged to verify each fact.
