In Canada last week, Trudeau set a historic precedent by declaring a National Emergency on dubious grounds. This act has existed for 34 years without once being invoked, and now the Trudeau government is wielding it as a cudgel against one of the most organized displays of civil disobedience in Canadian history.
Public health authorities knew about chloroquine and other treatments for COVID-19 before there was a COVID-19 — because they had figured it out for the 2003 SARS epidemic and the 2012 MERS epidemic. But they hushed it up.
As freedom-lovers justifiably recoil at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s crackdown, Americans worry it could happen here. They’re too late. It already has.
In a recent court motion, Joe Biden’s Justice Department changed the official name of its investigation into the protest at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Originally designated the “Capitol breach” probe, the department just replaced “breach” with a more sinister word: siege.
“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve,” says the character of the Japanese admiral Isoroku about Pearl Harbor in the WWII film Tora! Tora! Tora! The Japanese may have successfully attacked the U.S., but that was a battle, not the war, and that day was the beginning of the end for the Japanese race to global power.
There is a parallel situation unfolding with the Canadian government and the truckers. To be clear, I’m not saying there’s going to be a war, insurrection, or violence, but I am saying that the response of the Canadian government to the peaceful protests against the COVID-19 vaccine mandate will ultimately be its undoing and absent complete voter suppression and fraud, the current tyrannical regime won’t last.
This report from the Telegraph is not based on an official statement about the origin of COVID. In fact, it’s really just the observation of one person about what is going on within the UK government. The backstory here is that the government has asked for input on a new “biosecurity strategy” that is still in the draft stage. Hamish de-Bretton Gordon is a biosecurity expert who has provided information for that new strategy. He believes a lab leak is the most likely explanation for COVID’s origin and claims, behind the scenes, other officials are coming around to his view even if they’re still hesitant to say so publicly.
His response to the truckers’ convoy suggests he’s been taking lessons from someone down in Cuba.
It took a spurt of totalitarianism, ejaculated north of the border, to confirm what many of us already knew: Justin Trudeau is truly his father’s son.
This humble reporter is far from alone in observing that Trudeau is really Fidel Castro’s long, lost lovechild. It didn’t take two hours of guzzling Labatt beer with a bunch of fat Canadians with hats with earflaps and earmuffs watching hockey to figure that out.
Besides, I hate hockey. What the hell is hockey, anyway? Hockey has some rule called “icing,” which makes no sense whatsoever.
Big Tech and Big Pharma are more powerful than ever
Over the past two years, as the pandemic claimed the lives of millions of people and upturned the lives of everyone else, a silent revolution was taking place. Western capitalism suddenly found itself usurped; replaced by an even more oligarchic and authoritarian capitalist mode of power — what we might call neo-feudalism. Even as restrictions are lifted in the UK and other countries, the consequences of these changes will be felt for a long time to come.
In the view of Gerald Butts, some sort of weird virus must have infected the editorial boards of some of the world’s most respected newspapers, preventing them from understanding the unique circumstances that prompted Canada’s prime minister to invoke emergency powers.
In a series of tweets assessing the decision, Butts — former principal secretary to Justin Trudeau — started off with a slap at several editorials that denounced the decision as unnecessary and dangerous.
There are a number of Canadian jokes making the rounds these days. Here are four.
What’s the difference between Canada and North Korea?
One country is a police state under the boot of a young tyrant scion of his father’s dynasty who brutally crushes opponents, free speech, and liberty, and the other is a country in Asia.
Fresh suspicion that Covid may have been tinkered with in a lab emerged today after scientists found genetic material owned by Moderna in the virus’s spike protein.
They identified a tiny snippet of code that is identical to part of a gene patented by the vaccine maker three years before the pandemic.
It was discovered in SARS-CoV-2’s unique furin cleavage site, the part that makes it so good at infecting people and separates it from other coronaviruses.
The structure has been one of the focal points of debate about the virus’s origin, with some scientists claiming it could not have been acquired naturally.
There does remain one major difference between Canada and Cuba. Few Cubans support their Marxist leaders, but most Canadians support theirs. They don’t know what they’re in for.
Canada is leaving the Western world.
In terms of all-encompassing government, suppression of dissent and the denial of fundamental human rights to many of its citizens, Canada is now more similar to Cuba than to any free country. Canada may eventually return to Western civilization, but right now, the majority of Canadians appear to have no interest in it doing so. According to Maru Public Opinion, “two-thirds (66 percent) of Canadians support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bringing in the Emergencies Act . . . A majority (56 percent) of Canadians do not support the truckers who are protesting in any way, shape, or form . . . This is a majority view held in every province/region across the country.”
Two Ontario police forces have launched internal investigations or reviews, saying some of their members appear to have donated to the convoy that blockaded Ottawa and other border crossings.
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said it is starting an internal investigation, while the Toronto Police Service said it has referred two of three names to its professional standards unit.
“The matter has been brought to the attention of OPP Command, and the OPP Professional Standards Unit has launched an internal conduct investigation into this matter,” wrote OPP spokesperson Bill Dickson in a statement.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to revoke use of the Emergencies Act, according to two senior government sources, now that the protest in downtown Ottawa is over.
Trudeau is expected to make the announcement in Ottawa at 4 p.m. eastern time.
The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Protesters may no longer be set up in downtown Ottawa but some have relocated elsewhere in the region, with private property owners offering up sites for people to regroup.
Trucks, trailers and Canadian flags have been spotted on sites in Ottawa’s vicinity in recent days following the removal of protesters from the city’s downtown.
The protesters, some of whom called for an end to COVID-19 mandates, first rolled into Ottawa nearly four weeks ago.
The discussions held by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Premiers leading up to the imposition of The Emergencies Act will not be made public, but the results are obvious: All Premiers except one, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, told Trudeau not to do it.
I’m sure that they all urged the Prime Minister to take the glaringly obvious, commonsense step of engaging in dialogue with the truckers. I would guess that the Premiers told Ford to do the same as well. Ford did not budge. He chose to save his own political skin over doing the right thing for the country. Ditto for Trudeau.
