The Canadian Sickness

The RCMP report is merely walking on well-trodden ground. It offers no data that is not already self-evident and that has not been the subject of innumerable articles, essays, editorials and books. The real problem with the report, aside from its redundancy, is that it is etiologically flawed, citing the risibly wrong reasons for the sickness from which the nation is suffering—in effect, it fawningly recycles the government’s evasive talking points. As retired judge and senior fellow with the Frontier Centre for Public Policy Brian Giesbrecht says, “the RCMP appears to be more like the servants of the Trudeau Liberals than a serious national police force.”

Thus, the burden of the report is that citizen disillusionment with the Liberal government is owing to “misinformation,” “conspiracy theories” and “paranoia.” The government’s policies are not at fault with regard to the approaching social and economic collapse. In a mainly blacked out and awkwardly written section we read, rather, that “authoritarian movements have been on the rise in many liberal-democratic nations” and “Capitalizing on the rise of political polarization and conspiracy theories have been populists willing to tailor their messages to appeal to extremist movements.” The al...

Two former city Councillors are HELL NO's and hope to see their asses in rear view mirror.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber got 12 months of house arrest today for “mischief.”
Not violence.
Not property damage.
Mischief.

Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.

Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.

Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.

But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.

We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
