Read more about the ongoing inquiry into Trudeau’s abuse of the Emergency Act (formerly known as the War Measure Act) to “control” the Freedom Convoy, and his use of divisive rhetoric against opponents of his totalitarian act HERE. The inquiry has shown that “at no time” did the Freedom Convoy pose a threat to Canada’s security.
Despite the fact that the Convoy “at no time” posed a threat to Canadians, Trudeau and his cronies were so hostile to it that his cabinet went so far as to discuss “crushing Freedom Convoy with tanks.” This should scare all Canadians, since it leads to the inevitable question: what does Trudeau have in store next for those who oppose him?
Canadians are at serious risk of losing their freedoms under the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau. Read also about Trudeau’s disturbing romance with China HERE.
“FIRST READING: Trudeau cabinet casually discussed crushing Freedom Convoy with tanks,” National Post, November 24, 2022:
Only days after Freedom Convoy first set up shop in the Ottawa core, federal ministers were casually discussing whether they should order the demonstration to be crushed with tanks.
The exchange was revealed in text messages tabled before the Emergencies Act inquiry. On Feb. 2 – just five days after anti-mandate protesters set up blockades in the national capital — Justice Minister David Lametti sent a text to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino urging him to call in the Canadian Armed Forces.
“You need to get the police to move. And the CAF if necessary. Too many people are being seriously adversely impacted by what is an occupation,” Lametti texted to Mendicino.
“How many tanks are you asking for. I just wanna ask (Defence Minister) Anita (Anand) how many we’ve got on hand,” was the reply.
To which Lametti wrote back “I reckon one will do!!”
The texts were shown to Lametti during his Wednesday testimony. Commissioners did not specifically ask the justice minister whether he was seriously considering the deployment of tanks, and Lametti implied that it was a joke.
“In these kinds of interactions I’m interacting with a colleague and a friend, so there will be banter, there will be occasional attempts at bad humour on both of our parts,” he said.
Using heavy armour to dislodge an intransigent protest would mark a precedent never before seen in even the most violent examples of civil unrest from Canada’s past……..

The first actions of a dictatorship in the making is to ban all privately owned firearms.
This has already occurred in Canada and is getting more restrictive.
The next is crushing dissent, this is happening right now across the country.

Do Canadians still have any of their freedoms left? W/ companies like GoFuckMe cancelling collections made for the truckers, and bank accounts being frozen, I was under the impression that Canada is already a fascist state
Similarly, it was news to me in this story that Canada has tanks! When their only land neighbor is US! If their citizens don’t need guns – they disparage the Second Amendment from the bottom of their souls – why do their armed forces need tanks? Ships and planes should be all that they need
