Artyom came to Canada from Kazakhstan. Until 1991 Kazakhstan was part of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union (USSR) existed for 70 years, after which all of the republics within it got their independence.

 

When that happened Artyom was still a child. He did not witness first hand most of the life in USSR, but he knows pretty well about it via his parents, his relatives and their friends. In totalitarian USSR people had virtually no rights and liberties. The all-powerful communist party leadership had control over the lives of millions of people. KGB (the main security agency for the Soviet Union) always tried to find and punish anyone who disagreed with the soviet regime. Numerous prison camps, regular prisons, and psychiatric prison clinics would hold people who were considered disloyal to the USSR.

 

In 2011, Artyom came to Canada as a student, where he then received his third computer degree in Computer Information Systems. Once Artyom became a Canadian Citizen, he knew that Canada would be his forever home, as Kazakhstan does not allow dual citizenship.

 

Now living in his new home country, Artyom witnessed the difference of life between democratic Canada and former Soviet countries. To Artyom's disappointment, in the last several years Canada started to look more and more similar as the totalitarian Soviet Union. Examples of this are beginning to show daily. One example is the contemptible way the Freedom Convoy and its supporters were treated. People just wanted to protest the unfair, unpopular and unconstitutional mandates. They were bringing their concerns to the "ruling class", but the response these supporters got was to the likes of hard core Marxists. People had their bank accounts frozen, even if all they did was to send $20 to support the protests.

 

In the last few years a person in Canada, can be put in prison for disagreeing with the government, such as a pastor for preaching against the progressive laws being passed in Canada, a parent being jailed and having their child taken away for not agreeing with the teachings of gender ideology indoctrination, have a person's bank account closed (thus putting their livelihood in danger), and force a person to get an experimental COVID vaccine applied to them and if they resisted, they would receive consequences. People in the medical field, airlines and other employments of public services would get laid off or dismissed. For far too long one of the main rights of humans in a "free and democratic" country, the freedom of speech is being trampled. Many people are afraid to voice their thoughts and opinions so they don't get prosecuted and ostracized by the Canadian government.

 

This is Canada going down the totalitarian overtake. Artyom knows what this government's path leads to, and wants to do his best not to have any Canadian experience this. The latest take over of the Liberal Party by an un-elected person for prime minister essentially confirms the slow but steady transformation of a democratic country to a totalitarian one. There should never be a time when someone who was never elected become a leader of a country.

​

Artyom is dedicated to changing Canada for the betterment of all its citizens.
