There is a lot of migration of both Yanks and Canucks to the Global South. It's so ironic, with the streams of Central and South Americans and others crossing the US southern border. The US insists on economic destruction of just about any country it interacts with, so of course desperate people are leaving. In Ecuador now, thanks to legacy media's usual hype/fear/false info headline news, tourism is nearly dead. Would-be tourists are afraid to travel and yet it is completely safe. For an economy that relies on tourism as one of its main economic drivers, it's disastrous. The question: 'Where would you go?' is something I think about every day. Trudeau needs to be overthrown.
I'm writing a story about a future in which Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana have functionally seceded from the US and are culturally and economically flourishing... but the 'Northern 43' is blaming its mediocrity and struggles on internal 'hate groups' and sabotage and bigotry (a familiar theme, I'm sure) and demonizing the 'Southern Crescent'. A non-political exchange student moves to NYC and is SHOCKED at the depiction of his state and his people in the media and culture of the city.
Canada is exhibiting a structural problem with the parliamentary form of government: the ease with which it can turn totalitarian – best expressed by Ben Franklin during the signing of the Declaration: “We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” The Liberals and the NDP are hanging tough and preventing the no-confidence vote Trudeau so richly deserves, and are therefore headed for a historic trouncing in the 2025 Federal election.
When I was younger I thought the parliamentary system would be more efficient; Life has taught me it has its very dark side.
If Canada is wise, it will expel (or expunge if necessary) Trudeau’s 3 children so future generations are spared a repetition of their paternal forebears’ horrible governance.
Dead right on this one. There seems to be NOTHING the minority party can do to stop the endless flow of totalitarian and fiscally-imprudent actions of the Liberal/NDP caucus. The courts are simply an arm of the Liberal party, so no potential relief there.
The Commonwealth needs to be discarded. The symbolic source of power for Parliament and the Prime Minister is the British sovereign. The Commonwealth countries need constitutions that explicitly declare that the People’s rights come directly from God, and lays out those rights that the government may not abridge under any circumstances. This is especially true for Canada, Australia & New Zealand which saw unprecedented civil rights abuses during C19.
Having a constitution will not prevent all attempted machinations, but it will be a major tool in the People’s defense of their rights.
I’ve commented several times about the theme in “Starship Troopers” in which the franchise is restricted to combat veterans.
I think the reason Western governments have deteriorated over recent decades is the loss of massive numbers of combat veterans from both the electorate and the political class. Specifically, who saw first hand the effects of excessively centralized power and knew “Here There Be Monsters.”
Starship Troopers is such an interesting read (and drastically different from the movie of same name). I've thought about it a lot over the last 5 years. I think for me personally, the theme that for someone to become a citizen and with that voting rights, was predicated on that person having "served" to some extent for their country first. I often wonder if one of the reasons we might think democracy is "broken" is because the concept of universal suffrage allows people without "skin in the game" to have a say in the direction of their country. Just on it's face, this seems like an inequitable system.
Agree 100%. However, I’d expand it to include any multi-year public service (military, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps). The objective is not so much to serve America, as it is to re-orient the individual’s perspective towards actual physical work that benefits specific people vs. protesting or tweeting on behalf of some amorphous group of people in front of an institution that has nothing to do with the subject.
The USA has some pretty bad laws in the pipelines too. It's just done differently. A poll showed at least 32% of Americans think the 1A allows for too much free speech. That's a major problem. There are laws like this in the EU including Ireland and in the UK.
Methinks this is by design. Our education system is filled with people who do not understand our government, only see the world through oppression/power lens.
We have an insane bill in Washington to halt all new natural gas installations, and these same morons want to dismantle dams...for the salmon, increase gas taxes. They are indifferent or at least never consider the cost of energy and how that impacts the 95% who are not financially independent.
They are truly monstrous. They choose fish over people. They always have. Spotted Owls over loggers and their families.
It won't. This bill proposes to construct an entire apparatus of Star Chamber, kangaroo courts and tribunals that will no doubt be staffed with totalitarian Longhouse Karens - "activists", "advocates", far-left lawyers and academics and "experts" - whose sole mandate will be to act as the tip of the woke spear, and anyone who even *questions* certain sacred narratives in Canadian discourse will face worse punishments than actual rapists and murderers. There is no question about this.
One example: the Aboriginal Child Residential School Genocide Hoax. Many articles about this scam out there, but the consequence of this are that churches are being burned down *to this day* because of the hysteria and bigotry Trudeau instigated conjuring up visions of mass graves of Native kids scattered all over the country. Only....it was all lies. All of it. Not *one* body found that supports this. But such is the sacredness of this narrative that some of Trudeau's ministers have contemplated criminalizing even *questioning* this narrative, much less completely demolishing it as numerous writers have. And so that is what this bill will do: it will criminalize "hate facts" that certain protected groups are offended by, labeled as hate, and anyone posting an actual, factual, researched debunking of sacred narratives will be hauled before these show trials and utterly ruined and imprisoned.
So these are the stakes. This bill is evil. This government is evil. I can't think of another term that captures the rank malevolence and utter stupidity of this government.
A truly twisted pair. I never thought I’d see evil like this in my lifetime. But her it is, front and center. God please give us strength and wisdom. God help us.
The middle class--overwhelmingly white--will be destroyed through globalization. The demonization is meant to dampen any remorse some might have when White people are dispossessed...or worse.
I hear you, JR. Demoralization is a big part of their plan. Keep punching away. Stay strong. Stay close to God, my friend. All will be well in the end.
Used to have a couple of black friends that acted like they understood that reverse racism was not the answer. Their actions determined that to be a lie. YMMV
I found out about 15 years ago from my friends' school-age children that the "sticks and stones" phrase we heard all our lives has been drastically changed and has been taught in schools at least two decades as this:
"Sticks and stones may break my bones,
But words can REALLY hurt me."
That one altered word has warped millions of children's minds into believing nothing is worse than someone saying words that offend. 🙁
Probably right. Was in the middle of the narrative most of my adult life. Saluting the flag. Absorbing the values of our time instead of latching on with all of my life to the timeless values.
It has been a pretty brutal wake up. Everything beneath me was a lie. I'm still stumbling around trying to find my footing.
It is quite remarkable the weight these loons put behind 'offended'. Has any of these people been in a junior high locker room? A high school locker room? A playground at elementary school? In an Army barracks? All men do, pretty much all their lives is to dish out insults to one another. Quick-witted, snarky, well-placed insults are a masculine love language.
True crime and violence are minimized over the feelings of one outlier group or another.
In this leadership class I participated, the class was to be 'non-violent communication'. The entire program was woke infested. This month's class was right after the criminally negligent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The first thing we do in this day long event is to 'check in'. There are 25 of us, so it takes 60-90 minutes. I'm literally last because the woman to my left started, and it went clockwise.
All these people were freaking out about Delta variant..it gets to me and I kinda lost my shit.
"Well since no one mentioned it, I'll remind everyone about Afghanistan...rant rave...there goes Taiwan, there goes Ukraine, we have shown the world how weak and morally corrupt we are...we've lost our dominance...and in the middle of this crime--I learn the class is non-violent communication. WORDS are not violent. Taliban cutting the heads off of female teachers is VIOLENCE!! Stadiums filled with people to witness multiple executions is VIOLENCE. Communication cannot be violent--it is not kinetic!"
There was a pretty long pause after I spoke...
The people who support this are the irritating hall monitor/tattle tale we learned to hate in the 3rd grade. This is them all grown up. Gross.
I commented elsewhere the other day that "that makes me feel unsafe" is the modern supposedly "adult" version of "I'm gonna tell teacher on you". It's straight up moral blackmail.
When I heard a grown, white male say that to me last year before I knew it was wokespeak, I spat out my drink laughing so hard. Then realized he was serious.
This bill is the dream of every brown-nosing hall monitor kid who ratted out on everyone and had no date to the prom. Its motivation is simple: I don't like you and you must suffer for it. It's weaponized cry-bullying.
“Quick-witted, snarky, well-placed insults are a masculine love language.”
A truth for the ages.
My father commented that the strength of mine that he admired most was my ability to genuinely laugh at “quick-witted, snarky, well-placed insults” delivered at my expense. I can’t think of an ability more lacking in today’s youth.
The ability to laugh at well-thrown darts at oneself, especially if they are spot on, is likely the greatest metric of good mental health--AND, is someone who will always be picked for a team.
Nothing is more fun, shoot I see it today at the YMCA from men in their 80s, than good natured ribbing of your buddies.
The insane Left always believes they can legislate human behavior to make it change.
Great question! I'm sure they do--I'm seeing my sister this week and will ask--but I'm pretty confident they do. Ribbing is play, and you see it at the dog park. Dogs go up and 'poke' another dog with their nose like, "Hey dude, you're funny looking, chase me!!!"
Jordan Peterson has mentioned in numerous podcasts/lectures that psychologists have identified a 'play circuit' in mammal's brains. Even rats play fair. Play is the greatest of teachers, how we learn with the least 'effort'.
You're right! Hadn't thought of it like that, but you're right. They never learned to fit in, rhetorically punch back, or take the ribbing with grace/humor.
Instead they cried all the way home and fantasized revenge. This bill is a revenge bill.
Gravely offended?. How about I’m incensed. The satanic vessels that perpetrated this heinous @crime against humanity should be rounded up, thrown in a giant tar pit and that pit then be set ablaze. The resulting screaming, sizzling and popping would be partial payment for the agony they’ve laid on all of humanity’s door step.
Never trust pretty men. They have never been in a real scuffle, have never been punched in the mouth, never had their asses kicked. They don’t know how to operate in the real world of adults because they were never allowed in the real world as kids.
This vacancy of real life, of consequences for actions, leads people to think of the most inane ideas like:
non-violent communication?!?!?! I’ve never seen a slogan remove someone’s head like a guillotine.
Hate must be eradicated. Hate, in this case, is synonymous with human. It is part of our make up. We hate, we love, we mourn, we celebrate. It would be easier to stop wind than to eradicate hate.
The only way to eradicate hate is to eradicate humans. WE ALL KNOW THIS.
What these dangerous pretty men and black-hearted women who work with them NEVER admit to themselves—these bills, proposals, laws are themselves hate crimes.
The underlying motivation behind all of this is hatred. They will say it is compassion, but we know this is a lie. It is hatred sandwiched between envy and vengeance.
This reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode where Peter Falk plays a Castro-like dictator who just overthrew his government. Except every time he looks in a certain mirror, he sees his lieutenants sneaking up on him with knives and guns to kill him. Of course, when he turns back around, his lieutenants are just standing there. Peter Falk orders them killed anyway. At one point he asks a priest, “Why do I have so many enemies?” The priest answers, “It is the story of all tyrants. They have but one real enemy…”
So it shall be with Trudeau. He will see countless imaginary enemies in the mirror until he finally stares into the mirror and sees himself.
A good defense attorney would have those pictures in his/her back pocket and dramatically whip them out in court: “My client is accused of a hate crime, do THESE constitute a hate crime as well? If not, why not?!”
Ruggedly handsome is not pretty. Like has a broken nose or scar. Totally different. Handsome is masculine. Pretty is effeminate.
A family member of mine spent 3+ years in the not-so-democratic republic of Congo studying gorillas. Some of her photos are simply jaw-dropping. They are beautiful creatures.
Your comment reminded me of one of our first dogs. We have moved into our home, had a combination of carpet and laminate flooring. Chloe, a super hairy Aussie mix, was super nervous on the wood laminate. She was one of the most food motivated dogs ever.
One day, when letting them outside, Chloe ran from dining room (with carpet) through kitchen to sliding glass door (wood laminate). One of the dog bowls was in the middle with kibble still in it.
Chloe, ran towards the door, and took two big bites of food on her way out. It was SO FUNNY! She totally calculated that--while not guile, it certainly demonstrated problem solving!
I remember “guile” because of a “Star Trek: TNG” episode in which the Enterprise crew was divided in 2 and were wargaming vs. each other. Riker asked Worf ≈”We don’t have weapons, propulsion or (something else). What DO we have?” Worf thinks a moment and replies “Guile.”
The heirs of the mid-20th Marxists have reached that stage in the conflict with society. Their 80 yr record is one of consistent failure, so they’ve reached the “guile” stage.
Your post, while super funny, made me think of a report I wrote in English 101 a few days ago...about sociobiology--basically how much behavior is true across nearly all domains of life, from ants to people. How chicken Delta can come eat off chicken Alpha's plate cuz they're buddies, but chicken Bravo will have is ass handed to him by Chicken Alpha.
I think of this often at the dog park, how similar kids and dogs are when playing. Then--you see a video or photos of apes and it is like looking into our collective wisdom.
Somehow in the way of government I expect this act to make child porn and trafficking more prevalent, while gov is distracted silencing those who question it.
In a world in which it constitutes hate speech for a Black Harvard professor to issue an academic paper that shows that the police do not disproportionately shoot blacks, Canada’s Parliament might as well call this law the “Right to Jail the Opposition Law.”
I agree with equating commies with the Devil. It is an ideology born in hell, demonically influenced, designed to destroy all that is good, true, and beautiful.
The country was pretty good under Harper (2006 - 2015) but under Trudeau it has declined drastically. If he's re-elected we are well on our way to becoming a northern Argentina.
Wait until we get to the bonus round where we discover which groups of people were "never intended to be protected" by this section. Or when we find out how merely criticizing people in protected classes is "inciting genocide", since criticism and satire are the only slippery slope that these people believe in.
Oh 100% necessary! And on the top of that list of never-intended-to-be-protected will be Trucker Convoy supporters. Otherwise it’ll be a life sentence for the dictator himself.
Fly to Mexico, ride atop a train to Eagle Pass, cross the border, say the word “Asylum” with a Venezuelan accent, and ask to go to any big city. You’re hearing will be scheduled for 2031, and you’ll be set up in no time.
FWIW, I had a Zoom meeting today with a Canadian about some business stuff earlier today. He said it’s getting really bad up there and he’s looking at alternatives as in other countries for relocation for his family. The healthcare system is third world and the government is out of control. He said that Pierre Poilievre, on the conservative side, is controlled opposition and has been in politics since he was a teenager. So he was very pessimistic about the future up there.
This type of legislation is bullshit. Try it. Try putting people in jail for life because they say something disagreeable. That will bring this to a head in a hurry.
I’d like to think you’re right about citizens standing up for the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but what did they do when the Emergencies Act was illegitimately invoked and fascistically implemented over a traffic jam? Nothing, to the best of my knowledge. Western populations are just too damn comfortable.
What you do is, you put the politicals in with real criminals, then tell the real criminals that the politicals belong to some group the real criminals hate, and that it is up to the real criminals to show the political how the dance goes inside prison.
Tried and true in Russia since the days of the Tsars.
I think the majority of people are so busy trying to keep the lights on that they can’t pay attention to the implications of these internet bills coming fast and furious in Canada. Also, we are insulated, unsophisticated, sanctimonious as fuck, and a good majority of people still believe the trucker protest was some sort of violent Neo-Nazi uprising…….it feels very hopeless these days.
All you REALLY need to know is that Trudeau is a fascist who admires Cuba and China for their “governmental efficiency.” These bills are just details. The deeper problem there (and in the U.S.) is that a significant slice of the electorate is OK with fascistic policies. Who think efficiency is more important than freedom.
The country is running on fumes. We are in the midst of sheer insanity immigration levels - 1.5 million last year out of a population of around 40 million - along with stagnant wages and economic growth, insane housing prices, utter cultural demoralization, tent slums springing up in every city, a military that's literally smaller and less effective than the NYPD, divisive identity politics everywhere, a stock market that's one of the worst performers in the world, and a multitude of other issues. Trudeau's desire to control what people say and think is in direct, inverse proportion to his government's ability to address any of the issues I've listed. We're entering the "we've exceeded the grain quota" phase of public discourse of 1983 USSR.
Had to chime in on the "non-americans need to rise up".
While true, virtually all political groups opposing the globalist totalitarians have a real fear of the US.
The view in oppositional circles is, US-NATO troops are there to prop up our governements in case our own police and armed forces would start to come to their senses.
And no-one is in any rush to find out if that is the case.
I can envision a scenario where the pendulum swings in the other direction and any number of statements made by Justin Trudeau are deemed hate speech and he is arrested and tried. Perhaps the government will offer the MAID option in lieu of the embarrassment and cost of a trial.
This is being discussed around the world. When you say you're Canadian, now people feel sorry for you and ask if you plan to leave.
Do you? And where would you go? Seriously. Because plenty of us immediately to your south expect to have similar problems soon.
There is a lot of migration of both Yanks and Canucks to the Global South. It's so ironic, with the streams of Central and South Americans and others crossing the US southern border.

horseshit ..
Gonna guess that "I hate White people" would elicit a shrug of the shoulders and a "meh" by Canadian authorities.
It won't. This bill proposes to construct an entire apparatus of Star Chamber, kangaroo courts and tribunals that will no doubt be staffed with totalitarian Longhouse Karens - "activists", "advocates", far-left lawyers and academics and "experts" - whose sole mandate will be to act as the tip of the woke spear, and anyone who even *questions* certain sacred narratives in Canadian discourse will face worse punishments than actual rapists and murderers.

Jordan Peterson has mentioned in numerous podcasts/lectures that psychologists have identified a 'play circuit' in mammal's brains. Even rats play fair. Play is the greatest of teachers, how we learn with the least 'effort'.

I would say these snowflakes HAVE been in locker rooms. And they cried all the way home.
You're right! Hadn't thought of it like that, but you're right. They never learned to fit in, rhetorically punch back, or take the ribbing with grace/humor.
Instead they cried all the way home and fantasized revenge. This bill is a revenge bill.

Gravely offended?. How about I’m incensed. The satanic vessels that perpetrated this heinous @crime against humanity should be rounded up, thrown in a giant tar pit and that pit then be set ablaze. The resulting screaming, sizzling and popping would be partial payment for the agony they’ve laid on all of humanity’s door step.
selective prosecution ensures this never happens
Justin Trudeau. Gavin Newsom.
Never trust pretty men. They have never been in a real scuffle, have never been punched in the mouth, never had their asses kicked. They don’t know how to operate in the real world of adults because they were never allowed in the real world as kids.
This vacancy of real life, of consequences for actions, leads people to think of the most inane ideas like:
non-violent communication?!?!?! I’ve never seen a slogan remove someone’s head like a guillotine.
Hate must be eradicated. Hate, in this case, is synonymous with human. It is part of our make up. We hate, we love, we mourn, we celebrate. It would be easier to stop wind than to eradicate hate.
The only way to eradicate hate is to eradicate humans. WE ALL KNOW THIS.
What these dangerous pretty men and black-hearted women who work with them NEVER admit to themselves—these bills, proposals, laws are themselves hate crimes.
The underlying motivation behind all of this is hatred. They will say it is compassion, but we know this is a lie. It is hatred sandwiched between envy and vengeance.
They hate us. They are trying to outlaw…us.
bsn
If they made this an ex post facto law, could they trot out Trudeau’s old black face photos and convict him for hate speech?
“I’d buy that for a dollar!”
Clever!!
That is the thing about scapegoat mentality. Max Robspierre was living large when he controlled the guillotine..but it turned on him pretty quickly.
They just do not seem to see the logical ends of their ideas.

This reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode where Peter Falk plays a Castro-like dictator who just overthrew his government. Except every time he looks in a certain mirror, he sees his lieutenants sneaking up on him with knives and guns to kill him. Of course, when he turns back around, his lieutenants are just standing there. Peter Falk orders them killed anyway. At one point he asks a priest, “Why do I have so many enemies?” The priest answers, “It is the story of all tyrants. They have but one real enemy…”
So it shall be with Trudeau. He will see countless imaginary enemies in the mirror until he finally stares into the mirror and sees himself.
A good defense attorney would have those pictures in his/her back pocket and dramatically whip them out in court: “My client is accused of a hate crime, do THESE constitute a hate crime as well? If not, why not?!”
You're forgetting about inflation already? Make it a sawbuck.
My thoughts exactly
I'm ruggedly handsome. Check out home vid
This is after I transed:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w5ZXH1VkILY&pp=ygULZ29yaWxsYSBkYWQ%3D
You can trust me with everything but food. And I use people's toothbrushes when on I'm over.
And dump cool coffee back in community pot. To warm it up.
Other than that, A Saint
Ruggedly handsome is not pretty. Like has a broken nose or scar. Totally different. Handsome is masculine. Pretty is effeminate.
A family member of mine spent 3+ years in the not-so-democratic republic of Congo studying gorillas. Some of her photos are simply jaw-dropping. They are beautiful creatures.

They lack something we humans unfortunately possess in abundance:
Guile
That may be exactly why we love them so.
Your comment reminded me of one of our first dogs. We have moved into our home, had a combination of carpet and laminate flooring. Chloe, a super hairy Aussie mix, was super nervous on the wood laminate. She was one of the most food motivated dogs ever.
One day, when letting them outside, Chloe ran from dining room (with carpet) through kitchen to sliding glass door (wood laminate). One of the dog bowls was in the middle with kibble still in it.
Chloe, ran towards the door, and took two big bites of food on her way out. It was SO FUNNY! She totally calculated that--while not guile, it certainly demonstrated problem solving!

I remember “guile” because of a “Star Trek: TNG” episode in which the Enterprise crew was divided in 2 and were wargaming vs. each other. Riker asked Worf ≈”We don’t have weapons, propulsion or (something else). What DO we have?” Worf thinks a moment and replies “Guile.”
The heirs of the mid-20th Marxists have reached that stage in the conflict with society. Their 80 yr record is one of consistent failure, so they’ve reached the “guile” stage.
👍👍
I want to work with gorillas. Tell them I'm the Silverback. See what happens😂😂😂😂

Your post, while super funny, made me think of a report I wrote in English 101 a few days ago...about sociobiology--basically how much behavior is true across nearly all domains of life, from ants to people. How chicken Delta can come eat off chicken Alpha's plate cuz they're buddies, but chicken Bravo will have is ass handed to him by Chicken Alpha.
I think of this often at the dog park, how similar kids and dogs are when playing. Then--you see a video or photos of apes and it is like looking into our collective wisdom.

Somehow in the way of government I expect this act to make child porn and trafficking more prevalent, while gov is distracted silencing those who question it.
In a world in which it constitutes hate speech for a Black Harvard professor to issue an academic paper that shows that the police do not disproportionately shoot blacks, Canada’s Parliament might as well call this law the “Right to Jail the Opposition Law.”
“The dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe.” ― Tom Wolfe
Or Canada.
I like this idea. Keep saying it over and over again like the "Don't say gay bill", only there is truth to this. The Right to Jail the Opposition Law.
The greatest trick the commie ever played was getting normies to think he doesn’t exist.
Remnant Catholics know he exists. And we will destroy commies, nwo.
I agree with equating commies with the Devil. It is an ideology born in hell, demonically influenced, designed to destroy all that is good, true, and beautiful.

Glad I moved out of Canada in 1990
The country was pretty good under Harper (2006 - 2015) but under Trudeau it has declined drastically. If he's re-elected we are well on our way to becoming a northern Argentina.
I’m so glad the wife and I never moved there, which we researched and thought was a GREAT idea like 15-20 years ago!
Comics, singers, long range sharpshooters... You're the best.
Also THANKS FOR IRAN hostage !!!!!✌✌
Wait until we get to the bonus round where we discover which groups of people were "never intended to be protected" by this section. Or when we find out how merely criticizing people in protected classes is "inciting genocide", since criticism and satire are the only slippery slope that these people believe in.
Oh 100% necessary! And on the top of that list of never-intended-to-be-protected will be Trucker Convoy supporters. Otherwise it’ll be a life sentence for the dictator himself.
Isn’t Justin Trudeau the one who admires how China is run? Didn’t he say Canada should be more like the CCP?
And Cuba.
A trapped Canadian - HELP!! This country pretends to be a democracy but it is not.
Fly to Mexico, ride atop a train to Eagle Pass, cross the border, say the word “Asylum” with a Venezuelan accent, and ask to go to any big city. You’re hearing will be scheduled for 2031, and you’ll be set up in no time.
FWIW, I had a Zoom meeting today with a Canadian about some business stuff earlier today. He said it’s getting really bad up there and he’s looking at alternatives as in other countries for relocation for his family. The healthcare system is third world and the government is out of control. He said that Pierre Poilievre, on the conservative side, is controlled opposition and has been in politics since he was a teenager. So he was very pessimistic about the future up there.
This type of legislation is bullshit. Try it. Try putting people in jail for life because they say something disagreeable. That will bring this to a head in a hurry.
I’d like to think you’re right about citizens standing up for the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but what did they do when the Emergencies Act was illegitimately invoked and fascistically implemented over a traffic jam? Nothing, to the best of my knowledge. Western populations are just too damn comfortable.
Comfort does make us fat, dumb, lazy, complacent. It is killing us.
bsn
I don't think it will.
What you do is, you put the politicals in with real criminals, then tell the real criminals that the politicals belong to some group the real criminals hate, and that it is up to the real criminals to show the political how the dance goes inside prison.
Tried and true in Russia since the days of the Tsars.
I wonder what all the people promising to move to Canada if Trump gets reelected think of this.
You know they love it. Just another reason to move North!
Are Canadians just like, cool with this? I mean, plenty aren't I'm sure. But plenty presumably are? Do they think this new bill is stunning and brave?
I think the majority of people are so busy trying to keep the lights on that they can’t pay attention to the implications of these internet bills coming fast and furious in Canada. Also, we are insulated, unsophisticated, sanctimonious as fuck, and a good majority of people still believe the trucker protest was some sort of violent Neo-Nazi uprising…….it feels very hopeless these days.
That's a good point about keeping the lights on. Hell, I wouldn't have any idea about this if it weren't for Chris Bray.
All you REALLY need to know is that Trudeau is a fascist who admires Cuba and China for their “governmental efficiency.” These bills are just details. The deeper problem there (and in the U.S.) is that a significant slice of the electorate is OK with fascistic policies. Who think efficiency is more important than freedom.
Obedient Pavlovian dogs with an insufferable colonial mindset. And proud of it.
The country is running on fumes. We are in the midst of sheer insanity immigration levels - 1.5 million last year out of a population of around 40 million - along with stagnant wages and economic growth, insane housing prices, utter cultural demoralization, tent slums springing up in every city, a military that's literally smaller and less effective than the NYPD, divisive identity politics everywhere, a stock market that's one of the worst performers in the world, and a multitude of other issues. Trudeau's desire to control what people say and think is in direct, inverse proportion to his government's ability to address any of the issues I've listed. We're entering the "we've exceeded the grain quota" phase of public discourse of 1983 USSR.
No. Expected.
Non Americans need to be ready to rise up.
Americans will be able to handle domestic trairtors, but we need Canadians, Australians, Irish etc to hold down some of theirs.
If America falls, game iver
Had to chime in on the "non-americans need to rise up".
While true, virtually all political groups opposing the globalist totalitarians have a real fear of the US.
The view in oppositional circles is, US-NATO troops are there to prop up our governements in case our own police and armed forces would start to come to their senses.
And no-one is in any rush to find out if that is the case.
I get it. I'm American. 2020- 2022 I WAS TERRIFIED OF "US" sildiers/ soldiers kicking my door diwn, force causing me
oh canadia, what have you done, eh?
I can envision a scenario where the pendulum swings in the other direction and any number of statements made by Justin Trudeau are deemed hate speech and he is arrested and tried. Perhaps the government will offer the MAID option in lieu of the embarrassment and cost of a trial.
