There are few things as freeing as an emergency. There are also few things as dangerous as an emergency.
For two years now, to varying degrees the people of the United States and Canada have been living under emergency rules. On Monday, in Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced a new state of national emergency, not because of COVID this time, but because of the supposed threat posed by truckers protesting COVID restrictions.
In the 20th century freedom triumphed over both fascism and communism, in the 21th century the greatest threat to that freedom is not from such noxious ideologies, but rather from a permanent state of emergency. The illiberal condition of this state of emergency, which will feel familiar to Americans, is one in which the Canadian government may now ban public association and protest, seize the bank accounts of their critics, and revoke all manner of other civil liberties.
The irony here is that the truckers are protesting emergency rule and Trudeau’s hapless answer is to introduce further emergency power. The Canadian government promises these new powers are temporary, one almost has to smile at how familiar that sounds.
I talked to Randy Hillier, member of Ontario’s Provincial Parliament, who put it this way, "They’re using the sledgehammer to swat a fly, they're gonna miss the fly, you always do. And they’ll be great harm and collateral damage to everyone else, once again."
As I wandered around Parliament Hill in Ottawa it was hard to disagree with Hillier’s assessment. I saw tents where people were making breakfast, trucks in neat rows allowing traffic to pass by them, high-fives and hugs. What I did not see was any conceivable reason to invoke the modern equivalent of Canada’s War Powers Act.

He obtained emergency war powers to use against his own citizens by lying and labeling them as terrorist.
Of course it is troublesome, it is virtually a re-run of Germany from 1934 through 1939.
So many educated idiots.
Government totalitarianism is ALWAYS sold as temporary to the useful idiots. Two weeks to flatten the curve.
Two weeks to flatten the truckers.
Canadians need to act against this totalitarian thug before it’s too late.
The ‘temporary state of emergency’ is how the U.S. elections were corrupted, mask mandates enforced, small businesses were shut down, as well as, forced vaccines upon unwilling participants.
The practice should be outlawed. Let We the People live with established law.
Coming to the US within the next month.
Yeah, two weeks to flatten the curve. Masks are a temporary measure... Teleworking is temporary. Social distancing is temporary.
We will soon transition into year three of these and other "temporary" measures. I am 100% with the truckers, it is time (long past time) to end all of these "temporary" measures.
Technically 1934-1945, and required a large war to finally end it.
It will show how easily a Tyrant can be unseated.
Smart to avoid I95 below DC.
tyranny is built on lies and force, and when the lies no-longer work, all that’s left is force...
Nothing is temporary when it comes to government. This is now a permanent liberal state in all ways.
Seems like the precursor to the NWO/Tribulation with a capital T. An old movie to watch but is looking more and more like the things to come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QeZYtApatY
Their theme song should be Convoy by CW McCall. “A thousand screamin trucks”.
temporary , ya just look at this COVID 2 week crap
.
Hmmm. Timed for thousands of trucks to arrive on March 1st, when Brandon delivers a fake state-of-the-union speech to 25 rats selected by Pelosi?
