The assault on freedom

COVID has unchained leftists, who are now openly insisting that freedom is fundamentally evil.

Beverley McLachlin, former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, recently wrote an opinion piece in which she said of those in the Canadian truckers Freedom Convoy: “Freedom, misconstrued as a license to do and say whatever one wants, is dangerous.” The erstwhile jurist stated, “Let’s not allow the freedoms we cherish to become ugly freedoms.” She added, "Freedom without limits slides imperceptibly into freedom to say and do what you want about people who don’t look like you or talk like you.”

Huh? The protest she was referencing had absolutely nothing to do with “people who don’t look like” the truckers. This wasn’t on their minds or radar. In fact, the truckers were a diverse group of men and women of various ethnicities, backgrounds, and skin colors. The protest was about unconstitutional, illegal, authoritarian—and immoral—government overreach and its usurping of inherent rights and freedoms.

Yet, incredibly and on cue, McLachlin spoke for those in the deep state-government-media complex, labeling freedom as “dangerous,” “ugly,” and potentially racist.

She wrote: “Our governments must draw the difficult lines that mark the limits of freedom in a particular situation. When you must wear a mask. Whether you can cross a border without a vaccine certificate. How many people can attend a party and who gets to go to school.”

Although I am glad that these hideous leftists are wearing masks, but not because I am worried about COVID protection.

Those jackboots must fit comfortably on Beverley’s feet.

Tell that Commie Beotch that “freedom” means freedom. Not nuanced freedom; not conditional freedom; not convenient or inconvenient freedom; not painless freedom; not freedom without cost; and MOST IMPORTANT of all, NOT freedom with government permission.
