It is time rid ourselves of the petty dictators subverting our democracies
Canadians are not determined to be disobedient or unlawful, but they are starting to ask legitimate questions about their fading sense of personal freedom, the same feeling many in the U.S. express

A lot has been asked of Canadians over the past two years, and the vast majority have been dutiful, obedient, and sacrificial in doing their part to keep our country going during an unprecedented global pandemic.
But as we enter year three of COVID, sentiments are shifting. Canadians are increasingly at odds with each other and with their political leaders. The nation’s culture is fractured and frustrated. With each lockdown and mandate, Canadians feel their rights and freedoms diminishing.
Indeed, Canadians are not determined to be disobedient or unlawful, but they are starting to ask legitimate questions about their fading sense of personal freedom. It is the same feeling many in the United States are feeling, though not quite so poignantly as yet.
One freedom that is increasingly elusive to Canadians is freedom of conscience. It is the first fundamental freedom listed in section two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It is the power of the individual to have his/her own opinions and beliefs and live according to those views.
One emerging threat to that freedom is mandatory vaccination. The federal government has mandated that all essential service providers be fully vaccinated. Ironically, this is the same government that called vaccine passports and mandates “divisive and potentially discriminatory” less than a year ago.
Currently, hospitals and health authorities are demanding that all health-care workers be vaccinated or face termination. The same type of order was recently upheld before the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), though the justices did strike down a similar order requiring business of 100 or more people to be fully vaccinated.
Many companies are making the same demands of their employees in Canada, even though Trudeau has not made such an edict as yet. Crossing the border for work or for pleasure demands proof of vaccination.
Prior to 2021, Canadians were free to object to medical procedures based on their freedom of conscience. There are risks and benefits to any procedure, which vary significantly from person to person. There are many reasons why someone might opt for, or opt out of, taking the COVID vaccines.
The heavy-handed nature of the vaccine mandates on both sides of the border have stripped many North Americans of the freedom to make that choice. The irony is that Mexico ― whom many forget is a North American country ― despite all its other faults, has not violated its citizens’ rights as yet by issuing such draconian orders. The government there has left the choice to its people.
Does modern science really demand that we sacrifice our freedom of conscience? We don’t really know the answer to that because governments and many media outlets have essentially shut down any conversation that includes opposing viewpoints, on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border.
New studies about the virus and the efficacy of various vaccines are emerging almost daily, and many well-established medical professionals are opposed to mandatory vaccines based on bio-ethical grounds. Yet there has been no willingness to even consider perspectives that differ from the government’s narrative. Censorship and cancel culture have become alarmingly common throughout the northern hemisphere, with such notable exceptions as Mexico.

This past weekend, thousands of vehicles (mostly long-haul trucks) from across Canada gathered in Ottawa to protest the government’s various COVID mandates. Having journeyed the Trans-Canada Highway, under the name Freedom Convoy 2022, the whole world got a chance to see how this movement unfolds. A similar Freedom Convoy is being planned in the U.S. beginning March 1.
Canadian truckers, vaccinated and unvaccinated alike, are taking action to defend the basic belief that every one of our northern neighbors should be free to choose medical procedures without facing discrimination or restrictions on their life. Most Canadians would have no problem supporting such a fundamental and liberating cause.
Yet the major news networks on both sides of the border chose to focus on false narratives of aggressive and divisive allegations that “far-right and white nationalist groups” had co-opted the Freedom Convoy for their own purposes. Further, one report even claimed that “extreme voices are hoping to capitalize on their anger” and turn this protest into “Canada’s version of last year’s January 6 riot in Washington.”
The language used by the media as they cover protests like the Freedom Convoy is important because it has incredible power to shape opinions. A lot of major media outlets ― again, on both sides of the border ― tend to demonize the unvaccinated, and a January Maru poll showed the depths of that influence: 37 percent of Canadians believe that it would be acceptable to deny the unvaccinated publicly funded health care, while 27 percent agreed that a short jail sentence could be a useful means of enforcing vaccine mandates.
Suddenly, one in four Canadians would like to see their neighbor jailed for potentially harboring a virus for which they themselves are vaccinated? Those numbers are reflected in polls in the U.S. It is no coincidence that it is the minority Fascist-Left voters and activists in both countries that espouse such untenable viewpoints. Both Trudeau and Biden use the same tactics, demonizing the unvaccinated. Biden regularly and falsely claims that it is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
Instead of demonstrating the politeness for which Canadians are known, they have been subtly encouraged to get angry and finger-point. The vaccine narrative presented to Canadians leaves very little room for critical thinking or diversity of thought. It is difficult to make informed choices when the information provided is selective or deliberately misleading.
To further the corrupt and fraudulent propaganda effort, Justin Trudeau delivered remarks during a press conference (see transcript here) on Monday where he gaslit the participants in the Freedom Convoy and those who support them in a manner historically reserved for authoritarian dictators.
Canada is currently at a crossroads, with the enemies of freedom in the mainstream media working hard to rewrite history and portray a unifying movement as something it is not. If the efforts of Canadian patriots are not successful, Trudeau’s remarks from Monday could go down as the words that thrust Canada into a full-scale Orwellian dictatorship where Pravdaesque messaging defines reality.
The lies that came out of his mouth were virtually identical to those told by Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci, former NIH Director Francis Collins and many others in the U.S. The sole purpose of these lies is to fear-monger the people of both Canada and the U.S. into submission, doing what government officials tell them to do, without question.
In a typical twist common to today’s neo-Fascists, Pierre Trudeau, the Canadian PM who has instituted some of the most repressive COVID edicts in the West, compared the Freedom Convoy participants in Ottawa to “Nazis,” claiming he was “not intimidated” by them but nonetheless fleeing the capitol to an undisclosed location.

Throughout the 30 minutes he spoke to the media — some prepared remarks and some responses to questions — Trudeau managed to compare the truckers to Nazis, said that Canadians were “disgusted” with the protest, and intimated that the movement was a violent threat to the safety of Canadians.
Of course, he provided no justification or evidence for his claims, but we shouldn’t expect anything less from such a man. In fact, the Canadian people are overwhelmingly in support of the protest, and over 100,000 people joined the truckers in Ottawa Monday.
Trudeau has routinely shown himself to be the most dictatorial and veritably evil man who has ever led the Canadian nation. He is the evil twin of whomever is behind Joe Biden, who doesn’t have the cognitive ability to do what he appears to have been doing for almost 134 months.
With a populist movement rising across Canada which has received overwhelming support, it seems that Trudeau is happy to double down on his divisive and vile rhetoric with the seeming intention of destroying the country. Just like Joe Biden.
One of the hallmarks of Marxist governance is to accuse the people of the very evils you commit.
For example, if you are a communist dictator, you will accuse the rich of having too much money because they are greedy, and then you will greedily take all of their money away. Or the Marxist will claim that “corporations” have too much power, and of course the socialist solution is to nationalize the corporations so that the government becomes even more powerful.
Trudeau and Biden are masters in this sort of rhetoric, and it is constantly on full display.
“Nazi symbolism, racist imagery and desecration of war memorials” are anathema, Trudeau said, while h he himself has enacted a coercive regime of experimental medical procedures on the population, and has divided the country into the clean and unclean. Just like Joe Biden. Nothing Nazi about that, hm?
After his initial remarks, he was asked why he won’t meet with the truckers, even though he met with and attended a BLM protest during the height of lockdown in 2020. After all, he said “Canadians are compassionate, kind, strong and resilient,” which one would think would apply to the truckers as well, that is unless he doesn’t think they are Canadian.
Come to think of it, if the truckers weren’t Canadian, like the convicted terrorist he made sure received $10 million a few years ago, then he might actually like them better than the Canadians he despises so much.
According to Trudeau, he attended the protests in the past where he “agreed with the goals,” but will “not go anywhere near protests that have expressed hateful rhetoric.”
I must have missed the part of the BLM movement that was about peace and unity and love, maybe Trudeau is privy to something that I am not aware of.
There is no evidence that the freedom protests in Ottawa have become violent, although there is a video showing some truckers engaging in an activity where they swing long sticks around on the street. That is, they are playing a game of street hockey.
Maybe the prime minister would meet with the hockey-loving patriots if they used their sticks to break store windows and topple statues of historical figures.
All things considered, I believe Trudeau and his Liberals are on a downward spiral. The rhetoric coming out of his mouth is getting so patently absurd and negative, that many people are just tired of it, even if they are socially liberal. People don’t want to be told their unvaccinated son is somehow a biological terrorist when he clearly isn’t.
Even in the fantasy land of public health, where vaccination was the key to getting us out of the “pandemic,” here is a man who is chastising truckers, who he admits are mostly vaxxed, while he isolates at his cottage after testing positive for COVID after being triple-vaxxed. It is stranger than fiction at this point.
He went on a rant about how the truckers are “conspiracy theorists.” It seems to me that the real conspiracy theorist is the man who believes vaccination will end the pandemic when he himself can’t attend work and pretend to do his job because his precious vaccine did not protect him from a COVID diagnosis.
Regardless of the different political, religious, or ideological labels we wear, one thing unites us: We all want to think for ourselves. Americans throughout the northern hemisphere ― from the northern border of Guatemala to the North Pole ― are long overdue for the opportunity to exercise our freedom of conscience when it comes to navigating COVID together. The notion that “freedom” and “science” are at odds with each other is just simply untrue.
Near the end of the question period, he told a reporter that “there is a right to protest,” but “there is not a right to shut down our democracy or our democratic processes.” And “there is not a right to abuse, intimidate and harass your fellow citizens who are trying to go about their business, trying to live their lives and not necessarily in agreement with what you were doing.”
For one brief moment, Trudeau was right. No one has the right to shut down the democratic process, which is why he should resign for having done so for most of the first two years of the coronavirus crisis.
He is also correct by saying that no one has the right to abuse or harass fellow citizens, which is why Trudeau, Biden and all the would-be Fascist dictators currently heading previously democratic governments should stop abusing us with hateful policies and rhetoric, and our nations should be cleansed of the scourge that is the Nazi political legacy once and for all.
Since there is a right to protest, support for the truckers is imperative. They should stay in Ottawa until the Canadian government gets rid of this petty dictator. Then we can work on doing the same in the U.S.
