If I Had a Hammer...


Silverfiddle Rant!
Canada's Emergency Powers law had only been invoked three times before Canada's Boy Emperor invoked it a fourth time last week.
1) WWI, 2) WWII, 3) Quebec terrorism, where an MP was almost murdered...
And... Last week, for horn honking and snarling traffic



More appropriate names for Trudeau include...  Trudescu and Castreau

I joke, but this is deadly serious. Canada's dynastic infanta is busting a major move to make the police state permanent:
Canadian finance minister Chrystia Freeland  said the trucker convoy, which had assembled to protest coronavirus restrictions, had “highlighted the fact” that digital assets and funding mechanisms “weren’t captured” by the Canadian government’s pre-existing surveillance powers. As a result, she said, “the government will also bring forward legislation to provide these authorities to FinTrac on a permanent basis.”
Meanwhile, international drug cartels, arms dealers, and human traffickers move billions of dollars daily through the international banking system, while the US and other western nations raise alarms when an ordinary citizen wants to transfer $2000 to relatives in Latin America, or a Canadian citizen contributes funds to the Canadian Truckers.

Oh, and while attention was focused on Ottawa, with Parliamentarians cowering in fear, a real terrorist attack happened at a Canadian pipeline worksite.  

I am incapable of expressing my disgust with the Canadian government.  Who would have thought they would zoom past our own corrupt authoritarians in the Race to Tyranny?  Australia is also on my list of regimes I have scratched off my bucket list.  The spawn of the English Empire has lost its moral authority to lecture anyone on democracy, human rights, civil liberties and free market capitalism.  

Canadian authorities are documenting offending license plate numbers, taking names, shutting off access to bank accounts and insurance, and yanking business licenses.  Of people who have committed no violence and who have issued no threats.  

The Canadian authoritarians are implementing a Chinese style social credit system, and all the pieces are in place for it to happen here in the US.  Punishing peaceful protest and civil disobedience is a violation of civil liberties and fundamental human rights.  Scared governments clinging to the final shreds of legitimacy are barreling down a very dangerous road...

Please read the linked article and tell us what you think...




Even Canadians who disagree with the protests lament what is happening:

  2. "Zoom past us" is the statement of the day in their rush toward totalitarianism. It was a shocker and should be one heck of a wake up call as we continue in our somnambulism.
    We shall see how Biden and his minions deal with the planned U.S. truckers visit to D.C. Why do I feel this is a set up?
    For some reason I have this nagging feeling that Biden will want to do it one better.

  3. Here's the money quote from the National Post link:

    New Democratic Party Leader Jagmeet Singh made the answer to that pretty clear when he announced his willingness to grant the government the extraordinary powers it sought to clear the laneways around Wellington Street, but stipulated they must never be used against “Indigenous land defenders, climate change activists, workers fighting for fairness.”

    Insisting that the rights of some Canadians deserve greater protection than others isn’t normally a position you associate with Singh’s party.

    1. Canadians born in Canada aren't indigenous? Who knew?

    2. btw - Were the truckers "workers fighting for fairness"?

    3. Sorry Joe, the truckers failed to gain that designation from the progressive people's politburo

    4. The woman on the mobility scooter trampled by police horses was an indigenous Mohawk elder, so she fails to qualify under the rules of oficialismo as well.

  4. We’ve reached the part of the story where Dem Rep. Ruben Gallego is openly advocating for the government to seize private property and redistribute it to others:

    Perfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business.

  5. Still need to extract the truck drivers' bone marrow to create new flavors of dog food.

    2. TC,
      Good grief! That comment is over the top and uncalled for.

      As Ed stated: a despicable comment.

    3. Is anyone surprised? Beamish is like a once-hilarious comedian barking out more and more outrageous provocations as the turned off crowd heads for the exit.

      He used to be fun, but most of his blather now isn't worthy of a response.

    4. Well, I had a comment but after the above, I like AOW finds that a despicable comment. I mean why be so ugly.

    5. Elizabeth,

      It's a three year old shouting "Poo Poo!"

      Best to just ignore it.

      The worst thing you can do to a flasher is ignore him.

    6. Yeah yeah. Now you hate civil asset forfeiture laws that take property from criminals.

      Some criminals are more equal than others, eh?

      Admittedly, George Carlin did your politics better.

    8. "Yeah yeah. Now you hate civil asset forfeiture laws that take property from criminals."

      I have always hated them. Here's a blast from the past. Thanks for bringing it up!

    9. Love Carlin. He was always acerbic, but he became way too bitter and angry towards the end, to the point the humor was gone.

    10. Trump brought back civil asset forfeiture with a vengeance, so...

    11. There's one of the few examples where Obama was right and Trump was wrong.

  6. I wish that the ire in this country reserved for Canada regarding it's treatment of peaceful protesters would be turned to the horrible mistreatment of the Jan 6 political prisoners.
