Democracy Comes On Eighteen Wheels

I need to begin by mentioning that my mother was Canadian. She was a missionary in Japan after the Second World War, and there she met my dad, an American naval officer, in the course of his involvement in the Korean War. How they got together is quite the story, but let us not get sidetracked. What matters for us today is that a Canadian and an American did in fact get together, and so I grew up in a home that was very much aware of “all things Canada.”

As a result, I have to say that I had been quite dismayed and astonished at the apparent docility of Canadians when it came to the recent shenanigans and mountebankeries of their government. There was an occasional pastor here and there who kicked the way a Christian pastor ought to kick, and I was really proud of them, but for the most part, everybody up there seemed to have graduated from their compliance seminars, their HR training, their North Vietnamese struggle sessions, or whatever it is we are supposed to call them now.

And then . . . and then . . . thousands upon thousands of trucks in Ottawa, just a-tooting their horns.

Most people aren’t writers. But I digress… When the American Truck Convoy begins its success will be limited only by the willingness of the American people to support it.

I am 100% certain that at least SOME Ottawa Cabbage Patch Commies would obey if ordered to just start shooting the very people they are supposed to protect.

I have no doubt about that. If history is a guide, many loyalists to King George III back in 1776 did just thatm especially in the Carolinas where they joined the British irregukar forces and trauned with the Red Coats from England.

At the end of the fracas, the loyalists moved with Corwallis and Gage into Canada and settled there, which is where I live. Now Brandeau uses the Crown to his convenience whenever he wishes, like a reguviinated King George III, talking about law and order while violating the chartered rights of Canadians, especially those who do not subscribe to his Commie Cabbage Patch values.He has outlawed our rifles ny executive fiat as of May 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. Brandeau, you see, is a man with a Socialist plan, and Canadians are not putting up with it.

And Brandeau, if he uses vilence will get an amplified return of it in 10 fold measure. Canadians want Trudeau to dissolve parliament NOW and call an election. We want him and his Cabbage Pacth Commie elites in Ottawa gone.

I could tell you border crossing stories that would curl your hair, including invasion of privacy by Canadian border Patrol and Health Officials from Ottawa, without any crime or breaking of regulations then in place ( dual ciitizenship, they could not stop my travel, so they went to work scaring my extended family.)

We have had enough of these pantywaists and milksop socialists in Ottawa.They are all bent out of shape because they can’t meander outside in central Ottawa for their 3 times a day lattes, and they can’t face people who have lost their livelihood because of their tricked out “science.”And yes, the idiots would shoot trucker people because of it. They do not even think the truckers are human and have done all they can to dehumanize them.Next will come the violence and thats when we win.

LOL!

Any writer who uses my new favorite word, mountebankeries in their second paragraph is tops in my book, and does not need an editor who might take it out. I always enjoy pieces that share a little bit about what is motivating the author.

His premise that the elites have utter contempt for the average working person is spot on. The COVID epidemic has shown the length the elites are willing to go to hold their self anointed positions of authority. The very freedoms and inalienable rights of our Constitution were quickly kicked to the curb by petty tyrants in the name of some greater good. The two weeks to flatten the curve morphed into years of lockdowns, social isolation, masking and now vaccine mandates. The elites however exempted themselves from the mandates and flaunted their privilege. Obama and his friends partied maskless while the peons serving them groveled in their masks. Businesses were closed except when Nancy Pelosi needed her hair coiffed. Now the research has revealed all of these COVID measures were next to worthless yet the elites persist in using them to retain control over the masses.

Bless the Canadian truckers for saying enough is enough and showing the elites they are not going to take their tyranny anymore. I am heartened that truckers in the COVID gulags of New Zealand and Australia are doing the same. However, I am disappointed that few in the GOP are voicing their support of the Canadian truckers and cheering on American truckers who want to do the same here.

The American truck convoy is already having an effect.

There are a number of states starting to roll back mandates.

I think the elitists want to beat the truckers to the punch so it doesn’t look like they are capitulating to the masses. That would give the unwashed the idea that they actually have power to change things and the overlords can’t afford to have that happen.

So if they start doing it after the truck convoy starts it will look like they caved and since they never want to show an apparent sign of weakness, they will act first.
