Justin Trudeau: The Government From Hell
PJ Media ^ | 02/27/2022 | David Solway

Posted on 02/28/2022 7:38:14 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The trucker convoy has come and gone. The bouncy castles have been put away, the hot tubs dismantled, the 18-wheelers towed, the party atmosphere vanished into air, into thin air. They are such stuff as dreams are made of.

The convoy’s main accomplishment was to force the government to show its autocratic hand to the observant and the doubtful. The invoking of the Emergencies (or War Measures) Act was a groundless abuse of power and its hasty withdrawal a sign of an authoritarian government caught with its pants down.

But in the aftermath of the Freedom Convoy’s magnificent display of resolute patriotism and good faith, the federal vaccine mandates it protested remain in place, a finance minister of dubious antecedents bears the fasces, and the administration of a petty and vindictive tyrant is still intact. The partial triumph of the truckers turns out to be a Pyrrhic victory, for it is the truckers who have suffered most.

Our blue-collar benefactors now face the consequences of the scorched-earth policies adopted by the anointed class. Many have lost their rigs. Operating licenses have been revoked. Criminal charges have been laid. Bans on trucker commerce have proliferated. Bankruptcy looms for many. Livelihoods have been demolished. Families have been obliterated. Marriages are bound to collapse. And I suspect that suicides will mount as desperation sees no escape from ruination. In effect, Justin Trudeau declared war on those who kept the goods and services flowing through the ersatz pandemic and who enabled the populace to weather the government-induced travesty. Gratitude is not in the dwindling catalogue of common virtues. The casualties, though hidden by the Soviet-style media, are devastating.

Canadians mourn the death and destruction they read about in the press and view on television newscasts in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The media wax furious over the suffering of ordinary people in that far Republic. But not a word about the war unleashed on our most loyal and courageous citizens by an unmitigated despot and his suppliant minions, a disaster whose consequences are not yet fully known but are gloomily foreseeable. Just as there is no guarantee that the America of old will still be recognizable come the November midterms, so there is no assurance that the Canada we once knew will survive until the next election. Canada’s traditional mode of civic decorum has been supplanted by rancor and schadenfreude. What we are witnessing is the death of “eh.”

If anything I think what this did was put the lie to Canadian civility. Beneath all that politeness was lurking an authoritarianism that showed it's true face.

Justin Castreau has turned Canada into a dictatorship.

Just like daddy did to Cuba.

Oh, my Trudeau-gobbling family members and acquaintances are now fully pivoted around to rants like: “If you still support the childish, treasonous temper tantrums of the FluTruxKlan and their false calls for so-called “freedom” instead of denouncing them for what they are, and instead turning your full and undivided attention to the REAL cries for freedom and REAL blood being spilled for it, you are an utterly worthless and reprehensible excuse for a so-called “human being.” Blah blah blah racist blah blah blah fascist blah blah blah white supremacist blah blah blah tRUMP-tard! *not enough eyes to roll to adequately portray my reaction*

Blackface boy is bad but his impact is not much beyond the 38 million he rules over. Brandon however is worse because of the worldwide impact of his screwups.

USA claims a shortage of qualified CDL truck drivers.

Open the borders to truckers from Canada & let them move to the USA.

Many leftists here in the States wish for the same thing.

I wonder if those leftist Hollywood actors are having second thoughts about moving to Canada?

All is being revealed. The Ukraine war is showing us even more truths about those who “lead” us.

The Truckers have Time and Trudeau could get the boot and have to call an election the very next vote in Parliament

Oh, my Trudeau-gobbling family members and acquaintances......

Just remind them of how Zelensky is staying in his capitol during a shooting war & Trudeau fled his capital because some truckers who spoke mean about him were coming.

That'd would be a good idea.

Heck Alberta at various times has wanted to secede from Canada and become our 51st. state.

Not sure what to make of that. On one hand Alberta is pretty much the main supplier of gas and oil for all of Canada so there is that. But there would have to be changes in their system of laws and regulations and health care.

Yeah you’re right. They all were going to leave the country when Bush was elected and then they were going to leave when Trump was elected.

Funny how they’re all still hanging around making crappy movies.

You’d think that it would make the Hollywood types humble and appreciate America. I bet that the industry hasn’t done well the past couple of years.

Canadians support their overlords.

Plus the Canadians get all their news from government-owned networks. We have a Canadian who participates in our meetings. He's hundreds of miles from Ottawa but one Monday, when asked if he had a nice weekend, he said he didn't go out all weekend because of "all the craziness from those truckers". Unbelievable how many people just lap up the indoctrination of the overlords, both north of our border and right here.
