Those who most flamboyantly proclaim that they are fighting fascists continue to embrace and wield the defining weapons of despotism. When it comes to distant and adversarial countries, we are taught to recognize tyranny through the use of telltale tactics of repression. Dissent from orthodoxies is censored. Protests against the state are outlawed. Dissenters are harshly punished with no due process. Long prison terms are doled out for political transgressions rather than crimes of violence. Journalists are treated as criminals and spies. Opposition to the policies of political leaders are recast as crimes against the state. When a government that...

I guess you could say, “Never let a good fence go to waste.” As plans rustle for a possible American echo of the Canadian truckers’ Freedom Convoy, the U.S. Capitol Police are in conversations with the Secret Service about the possibility of reinstalling the temporary fence that has previously encircled the Capitol grounds, a symbol of contrived concern over what the next horrific wave of Trump supporters might do. It was erected after the January 6 riot, as if freshly aggrieved violent hordes might storm the building again and again, and it was up for the “Justice for J6” rally...

Remember President Clinton? I remember that, after he left office, he regretted that he'd never be ranked among the top presidents because he didn't have a war on his watch. Kosovo need not apply. There's a "tell" here, of course. It is that the leader of a country is not there to hand out goodies in the latest ruling-class enthusiasm for spending other people's money. It is to keep a sharp eye out for enemies. And if an enemy shows up on his watch, he should stick a fork in it. There's a reason why heads of state like the...

While the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution lays out a clear path by which a president can be forcibly removed from office, our Canuck friends in the quickly-turning authoritarian, no-longer-Great White North have no such path in place should they want to remove their rogue prime minister, Justin Trudeau.Then again, as reported by Canada’s National Post, if a prime minister can’t or won’t resign for whatever reason, the governor general has the authority to appoint a new one — also for any reason that he or she chooses — automatically kicking the prior prime minister to the curb. Additionally,...

A standoff between police and protesters played out near Parliament early on Monday morning, the 14th days of the anti-mandate protest Dozens of police officers held a line against protesters on Molesworth Street in central Wellington. Some protesters were chanting 'freedom'. Police brought in trucks with concrete barriers which have been placed at the entrance of Molesworth Street...

The legal requirement to self-isolate after catching Covid in England is expected to be dropped from next week - as part of a "living with Covid" plan. All remaining virus restrictions in the country are set to end in the coming days, Downing Street said. Currently, positive or symptomatic people must isolate for up to 10 days. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the vaccine had changed the outlook, but Labour warned against "declaring victory before the war is over". Some scientists and charities helping vulnerable people have also expressed concern at plans to lift restrictions while Covid infections are widespread....

It’s shocking to me that some people are surprised by how the situation with the Freedom Convoy went down. It was never going to end well, the odds of them winning were as long as a summer day for a very simple reason: Canada is not the United States. That may seem obvious, and in the easiest way, it is. But in the way that matters most, it’s probably not that clear. We have a tendency to think things that simply are not true, like the Iraqi people yearned to be free and democratic when in reality they simply wanted...

Neil Oliver delivers his remarks this weekend against the background of oppressive government on display in Canada. The issues around the vaccines that Oliver notes are at the heart of what the Canadian truckers were protesting. Yet, those original grievances have been lost, intentionally lost and buried by the government of Justin Trudeau, because the Canadian government finds it less of a risk to trigger a national emergency act declaration than discuss the issues around forced vaccination. Think about that carefully. As common in his monologues, Oliver outlines the baseline issue, lost in the shadows of the national emergency declaration,...

(CNN)Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a knee during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Ottawa on Friday. Trudeau's act of solidarity comes after he declined to comment earlier in the day about whether he would be attending the protest. Still, he arrived at Parliament Hill -- home to Canada's Parliament -- wearing a black cloth mask Friday afternoon and surrounded by security guards, according to CNN affiliate CTVnews. Trudeau did not speak at the event, though he clapped and nodded along with some of the other speakers, including a moment when a speaker asserted there is no middle ground...

PETITION TO THE SENATE OF CANADA: Whereas • on or about February 14, 2022, the Justin Trudeau Cabinet declared a public welfare emergency pursuant to the Emergencies Act (hereinafter the “Declaration of Emergency”); • the legal pre-conditions for the Declaration of Emergency are not met; • the factual pre-conditions for the Declaration of Emergency are not met; • to maintain the Declaration of Emergency, a motion for confirmation of the Declaration of Emergency is required to pass both the House of Commons and Canada’s Senate; • it is anticipated that a motion for confirmation of the Declaration of Emergency will...

The blockades by Canadian truckers that had completely shut down the U.S.-Canada border crossing at Detroit have been cleared by reopening the Ambassador Bridge, and as of Friday, Ottawa police have begun moving against truckers occupying central Ottawa. Despite these actions on the part of the Canadian government, the truckers comprising the “Freedom Convoy” hold their ground in defiance of threats of a police crackdown as they continue to disrupt other trade routes and cities, occupying the country’s capital for a third week. The members of the Freedom Convoy appear unyielding despite days of warnings from police and the government...

Police Commissioner Andrew Coster says an alternative to police's de-escalation approach towards anti-mandate protesters would involve tear gas and batons being deployed on Parliament's grounds. Coster told Q=A'2 Jack Tame that police were taking its existing de-escalation approach as it believed the alternative of a forceful pushback could not be justified. "I think police could clear the protest, but I don't think the harm that would come from how we need to do that is acceptable relative to the harm that the protest is doing," he said. "The balance we have here is keeping the peace and enforcing the law....
