Freedoms Decreasing

Basic Dictatorship Forward! Shiny Pony 208 Comments

More gas on the fire.

-Freeland just announced the RCMP are going to have free powers to freeze bank accounts without process.

@thevivafrei· Don’t worry, @JustinTrudeau isn’t “calling in the military”. He is just authorizing banks to unilaterally freeze your accounts on the basis of suspicion alone, no court order required, with legal immunity. I hope everyone realizes how much more dangerous this is than the military

Lots more. Add what you find in the comments.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association emerges from a deep slumber.

  1. Brian Peckford said that this had to be debated for days/weeks. Has Dear Leader skipped this step as he turns Canada into Canuckistan?

    1. That oxygen thieving life form does not give a damn. He is the law and above the law as far as he is concerned. With Jughead and Ford, who will take the middle in this threesome.

    2. So sometime over the next 30 days they also pass their online censorship bill. Protests no longer allowed, free speech gone. We are well on our way to a totalitarian government folks. Welcome to the newest Communist State of Canada. This country is finished.

      1. But all rights are nothing compared to order and public safety. Its the ultimate end around any notion if inalienable rights. But we must do all this for the public good!

        The exception of course are the protests by people who hold government approved beliefs and are government certified as good people worthy of talking to.

    3. I’ll repost this here:

      It Is Later Than You Think
      February 14, 2022 at 3:44 pm

      1. Trudeau can ask the GG to invoke the Emergencies Act.

      2. If the provisions will be applied in one province only, then the LG of that province must agree — meaning in effect Ford in Ontario or Kenny in Alberta. If more than one province at a time, those provinces must be consulted unless the time required would undermine to timeliness and urgency of government action to defeat the emergency.

      3. The reasons for the emergency must be provided to both Senate and HoC. Both houses must vote up or down with no amendments after each house determines it’s ready to vote. If the votes fail in either house, the emergency powers (that have been in effect since the initial declaration) are ended. If the government doesn’t provide the reasons for the emergency to both houses within seven days, the emergency powers end immediately.

      4. If 20 MPs or 10 Senators sign a notice to the GG that they wish to deny the government power to invoke the act, then either the HoC or the Senate (depending on which parliamentary group signed the notice) will vote on the government’s reasons no later than 3 days from the government’s announcement. The debate will last no longer than 10 hours, at which time the vote to approve or deny takes place.

      5. At the time of the announcement of an emergency, the government has the power to declare an area out of bounds, and deny people the right to travel in or out of the area. Forbidding any public assembly, etc. Anyone who does not obey the order can be jailed for six months on summary conviction, or if indictable offence, less than five years.

      6. The government has other powers, including taking over or assuming the operation and management of private property, public utilities, etc.

    1. *
      “So, Canadians will no longer be able to choose to contribute a public protest. The
      government is also telling truckers they will suspend their bank accounts, licenses
      & insurance      . Both Trudeau & Freeland are calling the truckers ‘terrorists.’“

      “I have a question… does this financing blockade apply to Black Lives Matter?“

      *

      3. If you donated to GoFundMe or GiveSendGo it sounds like your big 5 bank will be calling you soon to let you know your accounts are frozen and your mortgage is due immediately.

    1. In the same way, it worked out well for his “father” Pierre, not Fidel. Canadians need a parent as they on the whole are not free thinkers or libertarians. We are subjects, not citizens.

  4. Peckford stated this requires approval by both parliament and senate before it can go ahead. Hope it can be stopped before it goes into effect.

    1. If he actually said that, then he’s wrong. But I’ll assume he’s being misquoted.

      Check out the other thread. Someone on here actually bothered to read the damned act.

      For emergency powers to CONTINUE after their announcement, they must be approved within 7 days.

  5. Regarding economy, does that mean that CAW are no longer allowed to strike? How about teachers?

    1. It certainly had the stock market twitched. A lot of red numbers on my on-line account records.

      I mentioned a few days ago that he would rather destroy the country than give up power. Sadly, it appears that I’m right.

      How long before it become a shooting civil war?

  6. He wouldn’t come out and speak to those in Ottawa so now we have a crazy, heavy handed action limiting our own property, money, choices of charitable donations and the right to protest.

    1. Quebec’s Premier Legault is opposed to the Emergency Declaration for the province of Quebec. He says that it will polarize his province; ie. The people of Quebec will rise up if the piece of excrement does.

      Never in my life have I ever despised a ‘man’ as much as I despise that evil little twat

      1. This shit will make guerrilla warriors in no time.
        Hit and run is the order of the day now.
        Blackie just made a WHOLE lot of new enemies today.

  7. This is impossible to justify on the facts; the bar set in the Act is extremely high. He’s just sealed his own political fate.

    1. There were no lasting consequences for his step father. Most Canadians don’t care one way or the other — unless they think they’re getting screwed over personally. Canadians politics isn’t about ideals or principles, it’s all about “what’s it in for me?”

      But every government apparatchik cares very much, because they think their special privileges are on the line. Their new powers will bring out the inner fascist in all of them. I expect the politicos have no concept of the scope and extent of what’s going to be done in the inners halls of bureaucratic power with this as a legal pretext.

      1. To be fair, his step father was dealing with a terrorist campaign that saw a provincial cabinet minister murdered in cold blood and a diplomat kidnapped. This nothing of the sort. And the current legislation is very different from that invoked by PET.

        1. To be fair, his step father was dealing with a terrorist campaign

          Not fair at all.

          Hopped up druggies that didn’t amount to more than a couple dozen. Trudeau never provided any evidence whatsoever of a clear and present danger of general insurrection. Or of a widespread and extensive network of subversion.

          There wasn’t any evidence.

          After all the dust settled,, after thousands of illegally arrested people were freed, Trudeau eventually authorized sentence mitigation for some perpetrators, and exile in Cuba and France for others. And then pardons and remissions.

          Trudeau’s war measures wasn’t about fighting terrorists, it was about showing the Quebec separatist movement he was a tough guy who couldn’t be pushed around.

          There were terrorist groups in the USA around that time like Obama’s Weather Underground friends and the SLA, et al. To the extent to US pursued these wackos, they used civil law authorities.

          1. Another interesting point is that the “new” Emergency Powers Act specified the need for provincial authorization or consent. I think the reason for this is that Bourassa and Quebec knew Trudeau had gone full-on Castro in their province.

            After Canadians got over their initial sugar rush of joy over Trudeau’s tough-guy act, they began to have doubts. As mentioned, Trudeau never provided any post-facto justification for his over the top reaction. Trudeau then tried to play defence and blamed the whole mess on Bourassa, claiming either that Bourassa lost control of his government, or that Bourassa had asked for federal intervention. Trudeau never stuck to a consistent story. Frankly, he didn’t like to talk about the subject very much after Canadian attitudes changed.

            The new Act also requires parliamentary authorization based on EVIDENCE and FACTs that the government must provide in seven days. The law has that provision because the law makers knew that Trudeau had bupkis for unilaterally declaring martial law.

          2. The point is, in 1970 this was highly contentious decision that attracted heavy criticism of PET’s “just watch me” attitude.
            But if I may speak at the current PM’s intellectual level – Look, can you see that “one of these things is not like the other?”

            Kidnapping and murdering insurgents bent of the violent collectivist secession of Quebec from Canada, backed by Cuba.
            To where those assholes ended up after trading a diplomat for a plane trip to Havana and rude awakenings.
            I often wondered if they wouldn’t have been better off in a Canadian jail. Now I see Canada as Cuba in waiting.

            As opposed to:
            Frustrated truckers’ “occupation” of Parliament Hill (unprecedented?) manning their barricades, kitchens and bouncy castles, financed by everyday people, some of whom ARE AMERICANS WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP, against mandates for which 2/3 of Canadians want removed now. Trudeau sees no distinction between murder and bouncy castles.

            They are HIS enemy. BTW, where is the grass roots for the people NDP and their leader? Trapped in their own rhetoric.

    2. Not as long as his cult following is in place. That is all of the legacy MSM, the elites and the brain dead.

  8. Did anyone really believe that Justine, the chief breaker of ethical rules, would be abashed at declaring martial law just like his Daddy did for the FLQ crisis? The difference here is that there will be a slew of new legislation, passed with the complicity of the NDP, to further curtail our freedoms, effectively making this country a dictatorship. And it all started in 1982 with the repatriation of the constitution and one little clause “reasonable limits”. The rulers always define reasonable, never the citizenry.

  10. Welcome to the the Democratic Peoples Republic of Kanada.

    The MSM are giddy with glee. I sent a reply to Global telling them what they can go do.

    1. shut down SDA

      I agree with you that this website could be a government target. But Moe for the moment has signified his disapproval of the emergency powers. If he was consulted by the feds, then I believe Saskatchewan has a legal case to claim the feds can’t use their new powers in the province. All SDA’ers should be using VPN, preferably with an IP from Cuba; that wouldn’t set off any flags from Fidel Jr’s regime.

  14. I am absolutely stupified at the reaction to the trucker convoy by conservative politicians.

    https://nationalpost.com/opinion/peter-mackay-and-vern-white-whats-happening-in-ottawa-is-not-freedom-its-anarchy-on-display

    Peter MacKay think it’s anarchy. When a FN individual throws wooden pallets on a train track that is freedom of expression but when truckers and farmers demonstrate against a (unfair) mandate that is anarchy. It makes you want to vote for Stalin.

    1. Peter MacKay was a PC. Never was a “principled limited government” type of guy ever. His father was a big Mulroney guy.

      Secondly, when Colin Powell emailed Mckay and told him “I met Harper at Bohemian Grove this summer for the sacred mysteries…”, Powell didn’t feel the need to explain what the hell Bohemian Grove was. Do most normal people know what it is? You wouldn’t be able to assume they’d know anything.

      It seems likely, therefore, that Mackay is probably VERY familiar with the Grove, and with all the illustrious membership.

      Ergo, Mackay is NOT your friend, he’s your enemy.

    2. MacKay neither is nor ever was a conservative. He was a member of various parties at various times, but I can’t recall him ever doing anything conservative. Can you?

  15. Altogether now, just like in 1970 when PET was in power….

    2, 4, 6, 8
    Canada is a police state!

    Nostalgia is always great.

    1. ‘Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end.’ Trudeau father and son, screwing Canada 50 years apart.

    2. If we’re going back in time, can I get my 1970 purchasing power back please?

      A Canadian buck went a lot further back then.

      That was before the Trudeau accumulated debt went up to 30 trillion.

      1. I remember when you could fill the entire station wagon with the seats down with groceries for around $100 in 1970.

    1. I hear they even put a rubber ball on the spiked Prussian helmet for Potato not to injure himself.

      1. Will he also resurrect his Dad’s motorbike and cruise the Jewish neighbourhoodswearing said helmet?

  19. With Joe in charge you might not find sanctuary.

    It’s hard to say.

    So who will drive the trucks and farm?

  20. Remembering this 2006 Liberal ad – “Stephen Harper actually announced he wants to increase military presence in our cities. Canadian cities. Soldiers with guns. In our cities. In Canada. We did not make this up.” “Choose your Canada.”

  21. Emergency Act? For a freaking protest? Talk about a racist with unacceptable views taking up space.

  22. “It will be compliant with the charter of rights and freedoms”, while attacking exact same. Attaboy.

      1. Yeah they live in terror of standing in the way of governments ability to act in an “emergency” Must not even question anything a government does in an “emergency”.
        Rubber stamp. Rubber stamp. Rubber stamp.

  24. How utterly predictable. The fascists show they’re fascist cards. Not that there was any doubt.
    Globalists are fascists and they can’t back down now. The Liberals/NDP are waging war on their own people. Disgraceful !

  26. Trudeausescu! 🙁

    He will end up like Ceausescu: if not outright dead, a walking corpse no one wanting to be associated with.
    His own kids will change their names from Trudeau to Gregoire, to avoid backlash.

    1. “His own kids will change their names from Trudeau to Gregoire, to avoid backlash.”

      Or Elba… she may never go back.

    1. Any bets that the 27% who voted in favour are civil servants, maybe in Calgary and/or Edmonton?

    3. How is it that there are 27% that agree?
      Guessing here that 30% of population will eat shit if the dicktator (sic) told them to do.
      Its just little less than voted for him.

  28. You fringes and fascists arrogantly thought you could push democratic institutions round.
    Looks like you’re in deep caca.

    2. You fringes and fascists arrogantly thought you could push democratic institutions round.

      Totally spot on. Now that we have the New Expansive Powers, provided by the Legal Authority, we should do what we did back in WWI: hunt the resistors down and shoot them on the spot. No one had the freedom back then to oppose conscription in the war for King and Empire. And no one has the right to oppose what our Demoncracy decides to force them to do today. That’s Demoncracy, jerkwads. We have the might of our institutions. Our might makes everything right. We won, you lost. Demoncracy. If you don’t like it, leave. Oh, that’s right, you can’t. We won’t let you. Ha ha.

      2. Democracy is two wolves and one sheep deciding what to have for supper.

        People have the right to protest even when the end game is regime change.

        Enjoy your servitude to your communist masters, you stupid troll.

    3. Ahh, Chelsea, and your love of calling electing prison wardens a democracy.
      The majority is speaking.

    4. I’ll stand in the caca that comes out of your bowels I’ve opened up with hot lead.

  29. So this is what a facist governmrent does to its own peaceful citizens who neither agree with them or vote for them. Next thing is the gulag. This country is so fucked.

      2. “Do they arrest themselves ? “…. no they laugh and pack themselves on the back, like all criminals do when they get away with a crime.

  31. Okay. On to the next phase. Truckers refusing to deliver food to Ottawa specifically & Onterio in general.
    Saw quite a few comments around the ethos stating their job isn’t difficult, let’s see how many that said so start doing that job to feed themselves, their families & friends.
    My bet is on Ottawa snowbillies starving to death.

    2. The truckers will deliver the goods even if justin has to put some poor Army Private or maybe a government paid Liberal Party Goon in the passenger seat of every Canadian Truck, and another in his Family’s home

  32. For all the “talking” heads in support of the truckers–perhaps you should take a page out of the MSM’s book and repeat certain key phrases like–“Justin Trudeau is cracking down with the heavy-handed Emergencies Act and imposed martial law on the truckers who are peacefully protesting government overreach with bouncy castles and outdoor hot tubs.”

  34. Since I gave to both the GoFundMe and GiveSendGo campaigns for the truckers, I guess I’m an undesirable customer now and my big 5 bank will be closing my accounts and calling in my mortgage. Love this country, eh?

      1. I’m pleased you supported the fascism over the last two years – I think the jabs got to your brain and fried it.

    2. You could always become a “boat person” and illegally abandon the country that you owe everything to. Not that any other country would ever want to take you fringey “freedom” lovers in.

      Otherwise, get ready to break rocks for a living. We’ve been waiting for this for a loooong time. Hoo-rah!

      2. I think this is tyranny. Trudeau has destroyed our democracy. You soon won’t like living here either.

      4. Just a reminder that in German occupied Holland, Ann Frank, by hiding, was breaking the law. The good citizens who ratted her our were upholding the law. I have a pretty good idea of exactly what you are, good citizen.

    3. I can’t imagine they will be going after doners. I think the goal is to get rid of the trucks. You’ve already donated. They might shut the fund down, but you are not a threat.

  37. He has seven legal days to bring it before Parliament, in the mean time he’s given himself North Korea like powers to crush those who oppose his tyranny while raiding our bank accounts and the media in Ontariostan cheer him on. I am so ashamed of this country, what kind of party gives one man that kind of power-well that would be the liberal party of Communist Canada.

    1. And the Dippers.
      Jag Meat has blood on his hands.
      His Sikh brothers won’t forgive or forget this betrayal.

      1. American bank if you can.
        Or gold ,silver, platinum , fancy coloured diamonds, crypto if you have the stomach for it.
        Guildhall Wealth in Toronto can fix you up.
        They advertise on Toronto 640am radio station.

  40. JT’s gonna get his own flavour of Ben and Jerry’s: Blackface Monday offered across Canada mixed Liberally with assorted nuts except in Ottawa where it will be sold nutless.

  41. You don’t think think the Liberals will misuse the Emergencies Act to go on a lawless rampage against their political enemies do you?
    Yeah, this is going to be with us an abusively long time. The extent of the crimes ( crimes if the Emergencies Act we’re not invoked ) they are about to commit will probably never be revealed thanks to a gutless, compliant media.

  42. Not one person has died or been seriously injured during these protests.

    When this is all over, I want him in jail.

  43. Remember How We all Asked, “Why didn’t the Good Germans Stop the Nazis?”

    I think we have our answer.

    1. Yep. People like Colon, Thichead, OJ, etc, love giving the gov’t power and denying power to the people.

      1. Let’s see you rush the barricades with your gun, tough guy. Talk is cheap. Internet tough guy talk is even cheaper.

        1. Ahh yes, more of the “you first” crap, the first people to rat out the actual fighters.

          1. You’re the actual fighter now? Where/when are you fighting? Be sure to post a video of your valiant stand.

    2. Yes. I used to wonder how civilized countries could turn so nasty, and how could civilized people do that to each other. But having been a peacekeeper in Cyprus, Bosnia and Africa I saw that they could. Sarajevo proved that. And as a student of history I wondered how could people guard the concentration camp?
      After all this Covid shit and reading the replies to this abuse of power. I don’t wonder anymore. Plenty of potential Auschwitz guards in Canada.

      1. I once asked my school mate whose father-in-law was Austrian and in the WW2 Wehrmacht , how did Hitler come to power? His answer .. ” don’t know we just woke up one day and he was in power” .. sound familiar with what has happened here in Canada?

  44. Maybe he’ll use it to crack down on the indians, and illegal gun smugglers, OJ will be happy about that, normal people, not so much.

    1. YW, No, he’ll only crackdown on licensed gunnies, the natives and smugglers are his support base to keep the sheeple nervous and compliant. But you knew that already.

  45. Wait for one second. If this man-child thought letting the truckers strike would hurt the econ.
    Doesn’t he not know, putting all these truckers in jail. Will HURT the econ

    Talk about one stupid leader.

    1. Dustoff…

      Great point. Just who is gonna deliver his:
      “hors d’ourves”… and Russian Kaviar….and $500.00 Bottles of Wine…??
      Cant get that at your local 7-11.

      I said long ago we have a wanna Be NAZI in the PMO…with his 2 like minded bits of Shit, Butts/Telford….likely all 3 visiting their tailor in the AM for nice Black uniforms and Jack Boots.

    1. Heh, the Justice Centre.
      Couldn’t beat a parking ticket. Paul Champ wiped the floor with them in Ottawa.

      1. I think 20 MPs or 10 senators can overturn this in 3 days.

        Incorrect. 20 MPs or 10 Senators can request a vote within 3 days. A majority in either house would be required to stop the invocation of emergency powers.

        1. Thanks for the correction. Below I have posted what I read in the other thread, which is as you say.

    3. Once they raid our bank accounts we’ll be required to spend hundreds of thousands to get our money back. I suspect they’ll be a run on Canadian banks tomorrow. I’m done dealing with anything Canadian. We have no rights, no freedoms and no liberties thanks to the NDP and Liberals.

      1. They can if they want, take ALL your assets.
        Civil Asset Forfeiture.
        The house, car, safety deposit boxes, RRSP and even your pension.
        In short , everything including the kitchen sink, maybe not the shirt on your back but I degress.

        Fucking scumbags .
        They will get theres and EVERYONE who goes along with it.

    4. From the thread below:

      4. If 20 MPs or 10 Senators sign a notice to the GG that they wish to deny the government power to invoke the act, then either the HoC or the Senate (depending on which parliamentary group signed the notice) will vote on the government’s reasons no later than 3 days from the government’s announcement. The debate will last no longer than 10 hours, at which time the vote to approve or deny takes place.

      I have no idea if this is true. If it is (and there enough MPs or senators willing) then parliament gets a say within 3 days. There may even be some “Liberals” concerned about the precedent this sets. Imagine if the “fringes and fascists” get hold of these powers . . .

      1. I have no idea if this is true.

        Well, PJF, at the moment Canada still publishes its statutes for all to see. You can go to the government website and check it out for yourself.

        Believe it or not, laws in a British parliamentary democracy were never intended to be the exclusive preserve of the bureaucrat or lawyer. The Emergency Act is on its surface quite readable in most respects.

        1. If it was my country I’d take a look, but as an observer there are too many other things to be looking at.
          Seems like it’s not your country either.

          1. Brother, I don’t think this place feels like it’s the country of very many of us on here right now.

    7. Laura, You’ve been showing up quite a lot lately, so thanks for your support and posts. It’s nice to know there are great writers like you, showing which side you’re on. I also agree about Polivre being MIA. On the whole, the so called ‘loyal opposition’ ain’t been opposing much lately, have they. Now O’Toole is gone, maybe their backbone will stiffen a little. We have some dark times ahead.
      Honk Honk!

  47. Legally, this sucks.
    Physically, we’ll see.
    Boots on the ground are what matters, and we outnumber them.
    I think this will just be “Double top-secret probation.”…and if it isn’t, well, we know whose to blame: all the people who said never return fire, aka traitors.

    1. I think the worrying thing now isn’t the actual protest and how the government suppresses it.

      I think the thing we will look back on is the fact that the government is taking it upon themselves to interfere in the financial system using “funding terrorists” as the legal pretext. And indemnifying the banks for any actions they take using this delegated power.

      What the bureaucrats will be doing invoking these new special powers we will NEVER really know. Who’s going to be watching them inside the corridors of bureaucratic power, and who could stop them? The bureaucratic overreach will be mind-boggling, I suspect.

      1. One word:
        Crypto.
        Use one currency to be poor.
        Use another not to be, at least as best you can.

  48. If you ever wondered how it would come to pass, we are witnessing the beginning stages of control of money. How quickly they can shut you out of your own money when cash ceases to exist.

    And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark— the name of the beast or the number of its name.

  49. I just spent a half hour going through global responses, holey hell he’s being called out globally he just brought more attention to the tyranny he and his NDP buddies have bestowed upon Canada. Sounds like an end run around stealing private bank accounts from their money. How broke is Canadstan liberals.

  50. Canadian “conservatives” would rather wear chains then fight, in fact, they’ll rat out any real fighters instantly, and start whining about the wives and children of the “murdered” enemy, because they are oh so virtuous.
    See you in the camps!
