Trudeau Style Tyranny

 Trudeau Style Tyranny

As freedom-lovers justifiably recoil at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s crackdown, Americans worry it could happen here. They’re too late. It already has.

In a recent court motion, Joe Biden’s Justice Department changed the official name of its investigation into the protest at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Originally designated the “Capitol breach” probe, the department just replaced “breach” with a more sinister word: siege.

Markets: The US stock market is closed for Presidents Day today, but investors will certainly have the Monday Scaries due to unanswered questions around inflation and the Russia–Ukraine crisis. One asset that’s doing particularly well amid the tensions is gold, which is considered a hedge against geopolitical conflicts. The metal’s price has increased in 12 of the last 15 trading sessions, and is hovering at levels not seen since last June.

Decorated Canadian Veteran And Pastor: Trudeau Has Declared War On His Own People

‘My parents escaped from Germany under the Nazis and Communists. I’ve seen real terrorism. Our freedoms are at stake here,’ military chaplain and decorated veteran Harold Ristau told The Federalist.

Harold Ristau was born in Kitchener, Ontario, and deployed several times to Iraq and Afghanistan in the Canadian armed forces as a military chaplain. He told a local paper he was motivated to join the military after helping Afghan refugees with asylum cases while he pastored an inner-city church in Montreal. In 2014, Canada awarded Ristau one of its highest military recognitions, the Chief of the Defense Staff Commendation, for “achievements beyond the line of duty.”

He wore that medal atop his veteran uniform when he visited the trucker Freedom Convoy in Ottawa on Feb. 12, he told The Federalist in a phone interview. There, smartphone cameras captured him leading other veterans in slowly dismantling a blockade around a war memorial, then cleaning and decorating the monument. Police stood by and watched.

Oh, Canada - Now a Fascist Country (USA is Next)

 OH, CANADA: 

Requiem for a Nation.

Justin Trudeau’s ineffable Justice Minister David Lametti is on record threatening those who hold the wrong political views that they are liable to have their bank accounts seized. “If you are a member of a pro-Trump movement who is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars, and millions of dollars to this kind of thing,” he said, “then you ought to be worried.” The assumption that Trump has something to do with Canadian trucker donations seems particularly unhinged.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who sits on the board of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum—an obvious conflict of interest—has moved to freeze the bank accounts and other financial instruments of the “protesters” and private citizens who have donated to the trucker fund. Hacked documents revealed the names of these offenders, some of whom have been “interviewed” by news media like the CBC and The Washington Post. Others have been doxed and menaced.

No less distressing, a substantial majority of the Canadian public have approved of the government’s jackbooted and manifestly illegal handling of the situation, taken in by the prime minister’s bought-and-paid-for media’s slanted and mendacious coverage. They are, to adapt a phrase from Daniel Goldhagen, Canada’s willing executioners, a compliant and unthinking populace presiding over the extinction of a once-democratic country. It couldn’t get any worse—though it probably will, with the assistance of the people’s sodden parliamentary representatives and a morally bankrupt media fifth column.

Read the whole thing.

To repeat: The silence coming from the other Western capitals is deafening. They must be watching Canada as a test case for just how hard they can push their own people.

The Reason for the Police Violence in Ottawa Isn’t What You Think: It’s Way Worse.

 ELIZABETH NICKSON: 

The Reason for the Police Violence in Ottawa Isn’t What You Think: It’s Way Worse.

The black clad army of mercenaries and police brutalizing a peaceful protest in Ottawa this weekend has been planned for years. It is overkill for a reason. It is theatre. It is an othering, a willful flagrant statement on the future of the working class everywhere. It instructs them: you will die. If not now, then sometime in the next ten years. Your towns will be gutted, your jobs will evaporate, you will scramble for pennies until you fall over dead and your children will have nothing to look forward to. You are Tutsi, you are Jew, you are Kulak, you are compromador, you are Othered. You are headed for the slagheap of history. Fight back and you will be deemed domestic terrorists and encamped indefinitely.

It’s funny, the gradualistic approach was working but now they seem desperate, like a window is closing somewhere.

TO BE FAIR, THAT’S BECAUSE THINGS ARE WORSE THAN THEY LOOK: 

“Exhausted, confused, isolated and depressed Americans are not buying the Democratic line that things are better than they look.”

Plus: “I’m reading the comments over there and it’s overflowing with denial: Stop trashing Biden! I’m tired of attacks on Democrats!”

Biracial NC House candidate blasts school board over CRT

 K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE:

 Biracial NC House candidate blasts school board over CRT (Video).

“As a parent, I speak to other parents,” he told the board members, “And there’s a few things we don’t want.”

“I’m biracial, I’m multilingual, I’m multicultural. The fact is in America and North Carolina, I can do anything I want — and I teach that to my children,” [Brian] Echevarria said forcefully. “And the person who tells my little pecan-color kids that they’re somehow oppressed based on the color of their skin would be absolutely wrong and absolutely at war with me.”

Echevarria closed out his remarks with a parting shot, stating that “What the masks showed us is the parents, the most powerful group in the country, are taking back the wheel.”

Much more like this, please.

The left is losing its war on parents.

 MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: 

The left is losing its war on parents.

The first is the brittle, arrogant and defensive response of our ruling class to any kind of political opposition nowadays. What kind of mind turns parents complaining at a school-board meeting into some sort of “domestic terrorism” threat? (The same kind that turns peacefully protesting truckers into “insurrectionists,” I suppose.)

In what previous age of American history would secret targeting and federal investigations of people engaging in a bedrock institution of participatory democracy have been seen as appropriate? Who calls people racist for wanting their kids to learn?

In this age, alas, those things happen, and the people doing them — the people who are supposed to be our society’s leaders, the best and the brightest, the level-headed non-extremists of the establishment — are frankly more than a little bit crazy.

No sane person would respond this way, and yet respond this way they do, over and over again. (And every time they do, they label their opponents racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, etc., wielding those adjectives like magic curse words, even though they’re pretty much always bogus.)

Bogus indeed.
