The Permanent Emergency
Steyn Online ^ | Feb. 21st, 2022 | Mark Steyn

~In Ottawa, the Totalitarian Mammy-Singer continues his trashing of Canadian norms and institutions. During Friday afternoon's Clubland Q&A, we heard that our colleague and sometime guest-host Andrew Lawton had been pepper-sprayed by the shameful Ottawa coppers. He had to go to emergency, and was eventually discharged from hospital just before dawn on Saturday. Andrew being Andrew, he got straight back to work reporting what was happening on the streets around Parliament - and promptly caught a second hit from the peelers. He is now boasting that he has strong "natural immunity" to pepper.

It isn't really funny, though, is it? As officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police put it in a leaked "group chat", "Time for the protestors to hear our jackboots on the ground." These and other remarks by constables purporting to enjoy the equine trampling of an elderly woman are now being "investigated" by the RCMP.

But there doesn't really seem to be a lot to "investigate", does there? Police brutality is out in the open - because two per cent of those who see it are outraged, and everyone else just gets the message and figures, "Whoa, better keep my head down till the storm passes..."

I remember when the Crown argued in court that "National Health Care is part of Canadian identity," as a reason it must never be ended.

I'm guessing they'll not be arguing that freedom is part of Canadian identity this time around.

Didn’t think the weather would allow a banana republic north of the 49th parallel, but I guess if the clown in charge has the right genetic background, it is in fact possible.

In the movie 12 Monkeys, James Cole was in prison for (amongst other things) ‘...violation of the Permanent Emergency Act...’

Coming soon to a Province near you!

Sometimes, you get the feeling Canada is still a sleeping giant, here in the morning of the 21st c.
Sleeping like a grownup in Mom’s house.
But if this doesn’t wake them up...they’re not just sleeping.

The Crown needs to needs to text Justine, “We are not pleased with your bs.”
