And enacts a never-before used law to treat the opposition to his edicts as terrorism.
Pay close attention. This is how all tyrants react to their will being challenged. Americans, take note. When you allow your servants to become your rulers, you can expect them to get very comfortable telling you what you can and cannot do.
Canadians are, on whole, a polite people. They have a good sense of fairness. Much like the Aussies do, but that hasn’t done them much good. Most are willing to go along to get along, and to allow their bureaucrats and politicians to act as their masters.
You are watching a government declare effective war on its own citizenry because a segment of the population disagrees with the government’s behavior and has had enough. The message is clear: oppose us and you will be crushed.
There is no other way to take this. And both the ruling party and the opposition are part of the theater. Neither will stop any of this from happening. Just as in the US, where the dems pretend to be vastly different than the repubs, and yet neither party stops the persecution of Assange or the destruction of Yemen or the theft of Syrian resources or the endless Russia baiting or the treasury acting as Wall Street’s wallet.
Here’s harsh reality: both parties are arms of the same body, and the groups that compose them are theatrically different than one another solely to keep the population divided along partisan lines. That’s it. One might appear outlandishly distasteful to the core values of half the country (doesn’t matter what the core values are, so long as they’re antipodal to them), but when it comes to the things that matter to the rulers, both are on the same page and march in lockstep. The people are the food for the predators that govern them, but when they get uppity, they become the problem, and all problems have solutions.
You’re watching that dynamic play out in real time in Austria, in Germany, in Australia, in Canada, and in too many other places. The world is rapidly becoming communist China in all but the color of its flags, where the state holds the power, and the masses better comply, or else.
This is why resistance is essential. Resistance encourages others to take action and stand up to tyranny. It emboldens those on the fence to take a stand. It is why resistance must be stamped out, must be censored, must be persecuted - the state understands there are way more of you than it can comfortably oppress without your cooperation, so it requires most to be disinterested spectators to their own indentured servitude. The more who stand up on their hind legs and howl, the harder it is to pretend everyone’s in agreement with the ruler’s illegitimate claims to power.
Can’t have that. Folks might get the idea that they are born with inalienable rights and freedoms that aren’t dolled out like party treats by the government, which only exists because the people require someone to coordinate delivering the mail and collecting the trash and defending the borders from overt violent threat.
And then where would we be?
Thanks, Russell.
According to Dr David Martin, Canada controls the MRNA platform and is being enriched by the drug companies involved with these gene therapies.
It appears that Trudeau is running an illegal monopoly i.e. price fixing and thus cannot back down to the truckers or any other entity.
The first couple of minutes of this interview explains the problem.

These last two posts of yours, every word of which I’m in agreement, have been eloquent, even worthy of someone who might consider being an author. Right on.
I’ll project a step further from a past event. The free expression of speech and views is fundamental to the literal eventual survival of a government, independent of its size and/or reputation
In ‘91 I was in Moscow, including the Kremlin. I was told repeatedly, from “Heros of the Soviet Union” (who still loved “Mother Russia”), to regular private citizens, that it was the lying and repression of views which would end the USSR. No, it wasn’t the government form, economics nor cold war, etc. It was lies and suppression of views that was the large straw. Those who rebelled respected the US and wanted to emulate us.
The day in ‘91 the Soviet Union collapsed I was home, and received an excited call from a friend who had just stood with Boris Yeltsin on the Russian tank which fired the shell into the Soviet Union gov’t building, representing the de-facto end of the Soviet Union era. So started our chance for 1) obtaining both a strong military ally, which, and whose most generals, highly admired our military and 2) showing the new Russia how we operate democratically. e.g., free speech, etc.
How has that worked out? And, in which direction are we moving and to what end?
