It’s hard to believe after the last 2 years that things could get any worse, but Canadians have found out that anything is possible when you have a pretty boy wanna-be dictator at the helm.
When the whole trucker convoy started in Canada and exposed that it was more than just a “fringe minority” who weren’t happy with the way things were going, who could have guessed that it would just lead to more tyranny?
Well, anyone who saw what happened in the U.S. on January 6, 2021 and then the aftermath of locking people up without a fair trial for trespassing in the “People’s House” probably could have seen what was coming in Canada.
Let’s remember that the trucker convoy started because it was a protest against tyranny. While Canada endured a lot of lockdowns and restrictions, the specific issue being protested, at least at the start, was the vaccine mandates. In 2021, governments worldwide decided that its subjects should be forced to take experimental government “treatments” or risk not being able to work and provide for themselves and their family.
It all started out well for the protesters. It gathered momentum and support quickly, and many of them were having fun in the streets.
This irritated the pretty boy tyrant to no end, so it was rather obvious where the whole thing was going. Trudeau has been one to praise Castro and the communism of China. He doesn’t praise communist dictators for their ability to negotiate peacefully with their subjects.
Trudeau brought down the hammer good and hard. Not only did he send in the police (or was it some kind of military?) to arrest and brutalize the protesters, but he did much better. He gave the government (himself) the power to freeze bank accounts, not just for the protesting truckers, but for anyone who dared to support them.
So if, a month ago, you didn’t like the vaccine mandates and saw the trucker convoy as a movement that you supported and decided to throw 50 bucks in support of them, now you may not have access to “your” money any longer. So because you supported something that was in opposition to the Trudeau regime, you are now no longer permitted to pay your rent or buy food for your family unless you can find a creative way to survive without a bank account.
In doing this, not only is Trudeau trying to punish all who opposed him, but he is also acting to prevent people from protesting or speaking out in any way that opposes the regime in the future. If you don’t like one of Trudeau’s policies or something that he says, if you speak out, then you may go home to find your bank account has been closed.
How’s that for a first-world so-called liberal democracy?
Trudeau has since revoked the Emergency Powers Act that he initially invoked to take these actions. Perhaps he didn’t like the label of dictator in a derogatory way and didn’t want to press his luck.
But the power is still there. The damage is already done. And we can expect that the truckers and other protesters will be handled in similar fashion to the people who entered the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. Even though almost all of the truckers did nothing violent, their lives will be made a living hell.
No matter what kind of government rules, the rulers always rely on the consent of the people. Unfortunately, in Canada, there are way too many people who accept the tyranny of the Trudeau government. They believe what he says, and they are obedient to his words.
The good news is that what has happened has opened a lot of eyes. There are many more Canadians today who understand that they are living under an authoritarian government.
I think Trudeau must have sensed that he had overstepped his bounds, even for him. It is possible, even in a first-world country, to lose control.
Imagine if some of the Ottawa police officers went home for dinner that night and got a lecture from a wife or a mother saying that it was unacceptable to act as a thug on behalf of a dictator. Imagine a wife telling her husband that he can sleep in his car in the garage until he finds his soul and realizes that he shouldn’t be brutalizing innocent people just because it’s for a paycheck.
If the people get restless enough and the dictator gets violent enough, eventually the violence can turn onto the dictator. All it takes is for one person or a few people to turn on him and he might be strung up in the town square. I have to imagine that Trudeau realized this.
If Trudeau pushed far enough, even his buddy Klaus Schwab might not be able to bail him out in time or get him onto the next flight to seek asylum in the Caribbean.
The story of Canada will be an interesting one to follow in the coming months. Will the Canadians regain their liberty, at least to the degree that it existed in 2019? For their sake, I certainly hope so.
