New in PJ Media:
The death of freedom in Canada went by a party-line vote Monday evening, with the ruling Liberals and the far-Left New Democratic Party voting in favor of Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, and the Conservatives voting against. The vote on Hitler’s Enabling Act, which ended the Weimar Republic, also went along party lines, although most of those who weren’t National Socialists were too intimidated by that point to do anything but go along. In Canada, none of the Liberals and New Democrats who voted for the Emergencies Act appear to have pondered the lessons of the Left’s history and how this whole thing can backfire on them so very easily.
Trudeau claims that he needs emergency powers to seize the bank accounts of his opponents and hound them in other extraconstitutional ways because even though the Freedom Convoy has dispersed, it could gather again any time, you see. Another threat to “our democracy,” as Leftists in both Canada and the United States refer to their hegemony, is just around the corner. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh claimed Monday that the Freedom Convoy “came here to overthrow a democratically elected government. It is a movement funded by foreign influence, and it is fed on disinformation. Its goal is to disrupt our democracy.”
If that reminds you of the Democrats’ rhetoric about their fictional Jan. 6 “insurrection,” that’s because Canada’s Liberals and the Democrats in the States are working from the same playbook: demonize their opposition as insurrectionists and restrict their activities accordingly.
Trudeau, meanwhile, keeps promising that this will soon be over: “There continues to be real concerns about the coming days, but we will continue to evaluate every single day whether or not it is time and we are able to lift this state of emergency.” Will you be surprised if he keeps on finding new reasons why the state of emergency simply has to continue for the welfare of all Canadians? I won’t either.
Trudeau also made one of the rare true statements of his mendacious political career when he said: “I can’t imagine anyone voting against this bill as expressing anything other than a deep mistrust in the government’s ability to keep Canadians safe at an extraordinarily important time.”
Well, yes, that’s right, Justin. Or more precisely, a vote against your invocation of the Emergencies Act expressed a deep mistrust in your government’s intentions, of the need for the Act at all, of your false characterizations of the Freedom Convoy, and more.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Canada Votes Away Its Freedom, 185 to 151

Unlike the U.S., Canadians have the right to vote and everything is done to make voting easy.

Justine announced yesterday the end of the emergency act, hours before the Senate vote – – methinks he knew by the tone their debate. – – he would not be supported.
Democracy in Canada IS in trouble. All the politicians who are members of the Young Global leaders, and there are an awful lot, should be made to step down. Where I live, the MP is from the NDP, she voted in favour of M-103. Days after the motion was accepted, I could not find one person who knew about this motion that has had an impact on our freedom of speech. The media mentioned it rarely. When someone was supposed to have pulled the hijab of the young girl, Canadians heard about that 24-7.
When anyone cannot get on a bus, a train, a plane, or drive wherever they want to because of global control freaks, something is terribly wrong. The media from day one has pushed FEAR, FEAR FEAR, Corona / get the injection, at a feverish pitch. Cases, cases and death is all we have heard. Doctors, nurses and healthcare workers who refused to COMPLY were fired. When you walk down a street and people yell at someone for not wearing a mask and people think this is acceptable behaviour, kudos to the propaganda so-called media for whipping up such fear.
For fear of being labeled an Islamophobe, I will refrain from mentioning all the Muslims / Shari’ah supporters, who are aids to provincial and federal leaders. One woman told me she thinks “their outfitsl are cute and how loving Islam is. GRRRRR
I urge all Canadians to go to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation petition to defund the CBC and other propaganda media and sign it please. Justine’s platform in 2015 promised the Liberal party would reverse the cuts Stephen Harper made to CBC / Radio-Canada. Once in power he renewed 150 million annual funding. In 2019 the Liberals unveiled a 595 million bailout to select news media. As of today the number is a staggering 1.6 BILLION dollars. With all the Covid support money handed out, who knows what the actual numbers are.. Why do you suppose the media love him so much?
There is an awful of rot in politics and the media. We are living in the age of lazy ignorance.

I should have said, under Justine Trudeau we are living in an era of name calling, whipped up fear and lazy ignorance.
