Text from the image: "Here in Canada, many of us believe we are witnessing the fall of the U.S. empire. Would a civilized country limit health care or food assistance for the poor; leave crops rotting in the fields; destroy the educational system; target women and attempt to eliminate their reproductive rights while refusing to help resulting babies; abuse desperate immigrants; pretend to believe in Christianity while perverting and debasing its tenets; and refuse to protect the Earth from destruction? The world is watching." - Paul F Haacker, Canadian public radio journalist

When they say the world is watching you, they mean you, not the people doing the controlling. The people doing the controlling utilize people watching.

I couldn't really verify if the quote was from a Paul F. Haacker, the furthest back I could trace find was from 2018 where this article or blog post or opinion piece or whatever you call it (they call themself a "free market focused think tank"), links to to a facebook post.
