Canada is now governed by absurdism, and it is symptomatic of an ailing Western elite.
Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week invoked martial law to arrest and financially destroy truckers on the charge that their largely peaceful protests are “dismantling the Canadian economy” that had already been dismantled for two years under some of the most draconian lockdowns in the world. The trucker “sect,” Trudeau added, is guilty of felonious “unacceptable views.” But his rhetoric still cannot square the circle of demonizing vital workers while conceding he cannot run his country without them.
He has invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in the law’s 34-year history, even as the highly infectious Omicron variant wanes after spreading natural immunity and yet proving relatively mild in its effects. Trudeau has neither science nor good governance on his side, especially given how civil the protests have been. The truckers, who more or less work in solitary cabs, are better informed about the “science” and are themselves mostly vaccinated.
Whether by accident or intent, the truckers have now become iconic of far larger issues. Their resistance to government vaccination mandates transcends them. And so, they are playing the role of the proverbial straw that may break the back of a once compliant Canadian citizenry, burdened by over two years of masks, lockdowns, and vaccination mandates.
They are Howard Beales yelling, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” or the iconic Tunisian peddler Tarek el-Tayeb Mohamed Bouazizi whose self-immolation prompted the Arab Spring, or Tank Man who stood erect in Tiananmen as an oncoming tank finally swerved around him.

1) The West may descend into a Totalitarian darkness.
2) The West may wake up to the tyranny of Big Government and decide to throttle it back big time.
I don’t think we can continue to limp along with our head down. This is a time for choosing the path.
For me, when I see what our civilization is capable of with 21st century technology, I don’t see any justification at all for government to “help” me or “control” me. We produce plenty of stuff. Government is just in the way.

BINGO!! Dr. FRAUD is a SOCIOPATH! He REALLY ENJOYS HURTING PEOPLE AND ANIMALS....imho.
We need a list of Canadian businesses that stand with Trudy... so we can boycott them.
As per usual VDH provides another outstanding column.
The Happy Goat Coffee Company would be one. Small and unremarkable for sure, but they were one of the plaintiffs in the “class-action” Kangaroo Court that was held against the truckers to order them to stop the protest.
Only big (transgendered mamma worshipping) government is allowed to inflict people with their felonious unacceptable views.
It’s kind of like the PM overreacted like a irrational jilted lover..and was willing to do anything to get even.
Thanks for posting the best writer....
He has invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in the law’s 34-year history,
***We had the bootlicker brigade applauding those kinds of laws such as the Patriot Act here in the US. They loudly shouted us down here on FR, but where are they now? Silent. Gone back to their cockroach holes, scurrying once the light of history has been turned on.
Never listen to someone who says we must destroy or ignore the constitution in order to save it. Their interest is in power. They just want the power for themselves.
Unacceptable views? Translated, they are opposing views to the crown and must be crushed.
Good analogy. That is one vicious, vindictive lil’ soy boy. I think he’s psycho.

You can start with the 5 major national banks in Canada: Royal Bank, Toronto Dominion Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia ,Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Bank of Montreal.
They all failed to stand up to Trudeus using terrorist anti-funding legislation to seize and freeze the bank accounts of citizens without a court order or even a hearing, not so much as even a search warrant.
There was an unreported run on these banks because of it, their computer systems all crashed.ALL OF THEM. Yet they did nothing to resist using the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canada.
This is a great article by Hansen. I plastered it all over Canadian Social Media and sent it to to Members of Parliament in Ottawa.
GREAT! Thank you for spreading this around.
A very good piece. Reminded me of Solzhenitsyn.
