Lies, Damn Lies and Liberal Lies

Good job Everyone!

Western Standard- Canada ranks in the bottom ten countries in the world on its Personal Freedom Ranking score languishing beside the likes of Lebanon, Mali, and Ukraine.

Update: Complaints in the comment section about this ranking prompted me to look a little deeper. There is indeed a discrepancy.

The Western Standard did report the ranking accurately from the website they got it from. Namely worldreview.com . That website links back to The Cato Institute’s Freedom Index Scrolling down the pdf of the report to page 21(page 27 of pdf) the personal freedom(PF) rank for Canada is #8.

Which one is correct? I don’t know for sure but I’m inclined to believe the Cato website.

No, It Was Perfectly Clear

Not only would the government confiscate peoples bank accounts for simply exercising their charter rights, the banks themselves were fully complicit in the actions taken. Banks choose to side with a hysterical, gas lighting, out of control, lying federal government over their customers. They need to look in the mirror and take steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again.  Hiding from it and shifting the blame does not bring back trust or customers.

If even now banks don’t realize that their business is one of profound, deeply held trust then they don’t deserve to be in business.

People literally put their entire lives and the lives of their families in the hands of banks. The Canadian banks showed the world that those lives mean nothing to them. Average every day people are disposable. Their lives don’t matter.

Good luck getting that horse back in the barn.

The Canadian Press- MPs told of confusion, panic after Liberals vowed financial crackdown on Freedom Convoy

The voice of Canadian credit unions says their members watched people make significant withdrawals after the federal government vowed a financial crackdown on the so-called “freedom convoy.”

But a House of Commons committee is being told that the government was less than clear about the intended targets shortly after the financial measures were announced.

Okay, One More Standing Ovation

But that’s it.

Power & Politics- Defence Minister Anita Anand says Canada has exhausted its military inventory in terms of the lethal aid it can pull from it to supply Ukraine: “We need to make sure we do retain capacity here for the Canadian Armed Forces should the need arise.”

John Ivison- It is astonishing that Chrystia Freeland was the minister responsible for blocking the flow of defensive weapons to Ukraine, given her roots and knowledge of Vladimir Putin. (h/t OttawaMJ)

Fixed That Headline For You

Precedent has been set: Emergencies Act could will be used to ‘target’ Indigenous people

The Liberal government declared a national emergency in mid-February after passing the use of the Emergencies Act to break up the Freedom Convoy trucker protest in Ottawa, which was designated an illegal assembly. But Chief RoseAnne Archibald warned the finance committee use of the Act sets a bad precedent “far and wide” and its powers could be used as a “tool” against Indigenous people.

The Othering of Canadians

Madeline Weld has written a very interesting op-ed about how Justin Trudeau has explicitly de-Canadian’ed any citizen who chooses not to go along with His Narrative™:

Fast forward to 2021, and those rights are no more. When it comes to getting vaccinated for Covid, it’s get the jab or get lost. Far from standing up for individual rights, Justin Trudeau’s government is snatching them away and redefining them as privileges that the government will deign to give back once a person has obeyed its edict and gotten jabbed. In August of that year, he announced that his government, if re-elected, would spend a billion dollars to help provinces create their own vaccine passports for domestic use. Trudeau also said he wouldn’t force anyone to get a Covid shot but would restrict the “privileges” of those who refuse to get one without a medical reason (which is so narrowly defined as to make it almost impossible to get an exemption). So, per Trudeau, people were free to “choose” to get the jab or lose their “privileges” of holding a job and earning a living, going to “non-essential” venues like restaurants, gyms, and theatres, and traveling on planes, trains or cruise ships. No “force” to see here, folks, move along. 

Yes, But They’re “Our Nazis”

Salon- Are there really neo-Nazis fighting for Ukraine? Well, yes — but it’s a long story

USA Today- A regiment in Ukraine’s military was founded by white supremacists. Now it’s battling Russia on the front lines.

Ottawa Citizen- Canadian officials who met with Ukrainian unit linked to neo-Nazis feared exposure by news media: documents

UnHerd- The truth about Neo-Nazis in Ukraine

Francisco- Out of all of these links I’d say the UnHerd interview is the best one.
