One just knew that it would come to this. The leftists who run things in Canada are the laughingstock of the free world. They have been exposed as pathetically weak in the face of a citizen uprising against the erosion of their God-given liberties. The Freedom Convoy, which has widespread support around the world, has focused attention on the absolutely immoral actions invoked under the guise of public health. Significant numbers of the people of Canada have withdrawn their consent to be governed by unaccountable politicians.
I am certain that the authorities in Ottawa were waiting for some incident to jump on to allow them to take harsh measures against peaceful protesters. They were waiting for violence to break out, for looting and/or vandalism to start. This would have given them the excuse to shut things down. However, that never happened. The truckers policed themselves very well. They were not going to be sucked into some action that could be labeled an “insurrection” as happened on January 6th, 2020, in America.
This included the absolutely horrific actions of some individual (plant?) who tried to mow down protesters with his Jeep Cherokee on Friday night. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. That included the individual whose legs were run over. While the protesters were justifiably angered, they did not lose focus and misdirect that anger to the wrong places.
Having run out of patience for something to happen that they could use as an excuse to impose some equivalent to martial law, on Sunday the Mayor of Ottawa declared a “state of emergency” anyway. This was done under the guise that a nationwide insurrection was underway. Anyone who tries to support the protesters is now subject to arrest. Ridiculous does not do justice to this action by the mayor.
“We are on day eight of this occupation. Our city is under siege. What we’re seeing is bigger than just a City of Ottawa problem. This is a nationwide insurrection. This is madness. We need a concrete plan to put an end to this,” said the chair of the board, Ottawa City Council member Diane Deans, at the beginning of the nearly two-hour-long virtual discussion.
Deans went on, “There are so many people out there engaged in a broader act of… mayhem, that we need to be able to bring it all under control. We can’t allow this kind of terrorism in our community to continue this way.”
This is the insurrection Deans is talking about.
Deans is talking about people who have acted with great restraint. Her definition of mayhem must include horns honking, people singing and dancing. Deans is talking about people who are peacefully protesting the immoral actions of their government. That cannot be allowed or some might think that the politicians are not really gods. Deans is talking about people who know that the “vaccines” are just a scam to fill the pockets of Big Pharma and those in their employ.
Deans is calling these people terrorists. They had no other choice. This follows the fact-free narrative laid down from Justin “Rainbow Socks” Trudeau’s Twitter feed. They need an excuse to use violence against these people. Is Canada’s version of Tiananmen Square about to arrive on the world stage?
Deans is just another left-wing pol for whom freedom is a dirty word. As Sundance has noted:
This is not a time for pastels. This is a time for bold contrasts.
The Western values of representative government either support the basic tenet that people should be free, or that government does not. There is no middle ground.
We cannot be partially adherent to tyranny when the systems of government are demanding obedience to forced medical procedures. At this moment of consequence, we are either free to reject medical treatment – or we are not free. There is no middle ground.
We are either free, as unique individuals to move around our own country without some arbitrary registration process, or we are not free. There is no middle ground.
The premise of “papers please” is either rejected, or it is accepted. There is no middle ground.
These are the core tenets that must be determined, argued, fought about, defended and decided. There is no room for quisling prose or the parsing of personage amid the discussion.
This is not a debate for the soft consideration about the tender sensibilities of small voices.
Hell, this is a debate that should never have been a debate, but here it is.
Knock, Knock – Wakey, Wakey – Honk, Honk.
Every conservative politician must now, in this moment of extreme significance, rise to the needs of this damned occasion, fight for freedom like they are the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Ark, or get the hell out of the way and let the people with dirty fingernails decide the outcome.
The moment is now. The moment, this moment, is what the truckers of Canada and the free people around the world who support them are trying to force upon unwilling government leadership around the world.
Every conservative politician in Canada should be forced to look at this little girl and justify their action or lack thereof.
There is no middle ground.
Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!
Yes indeed, young lady!
It’s the great Daniel Shays movement again. He was a hero put down by the bankers. He didn’t have 18 wheelers and the support of a whole country.
