Creating precedents

Basic Dictatorship Let Them Eat Taser 52 Comments

This insightful article delves into the historical antecedents for Justin’s recent state of “emergency”, in particular the overreaction to 911.

In Canada, we have now arrived at the point where mass protest over pandemic measures has erupted into what might best be described as an insurgency. And Justin could scarcely have handled this in a worse fashion. He appears eager to let the crushing begin.

By positioning the protestors as “those who fly racist flags” – as a fringe minority with unacceptable views – Trudeau committed a fatal error: he left himself no face-saving exit from the imminent and predictable crisis that would befall him. No respectable politician can strike a deal with such undesirables after libeling them in the way that he did. The only path left was to crush them.

By granting himself the discretion to freeze the banking privileges of citizens without a court order or judicial review based on nothing more than a politician’s nebulous definition of “involved,” Trudeau has indeed gone full dictator.

Viva Frei — Conclusion from today’s stream: everything being done – from handing out the “notice” to erecting additional fences around parliament – is done for media optics. Fake news lapdogs will use the images to create the illusion of emergency to justify @JustinTrudeau’s Emergencies Act

@KatePorterCBC – NEW: The interim chief hired under the police board under Deans just two days ago — Matt Torigian — tells Ottawa council and police board he won’t come to Ottawa after all because of the events of the past two days.

Update: The Canadian Civil Liberties Ass’n is filing suit against the Federal Government, as is the Canadian Constitution Foundation.

Who Is Joy Stadnichuk?

Like the Manitoba farmer from days of olde, Glen Dawkins at the Winnipeg Sun found himself a bona fide, genuine,  everyday type of person  Manitoba counter-protester.

“I came here because I’ve been feeling very helpless, I’ve been feeling really concerned about the people who live in this neighbourhood,” said counter-protester Joy Stadnichuk, holding a sign reading “Build Community, Not Bully Camps”. “I wanted to feel part of a community because I don’t like feeling helpless and I don’t like feeling bullied.

“I don’t appreciate the loud noise, the aggressive behaviour by some of the people in this convoy opposite me and I don’t think that it is necessary to do that, to be attacking people for wearing masks or chasing people down the street.”

So very helpless.

(er…  related?).

Long time reader “Chris” sent this essay to me privately, and I’m sharing it as a download instead of quoting as it’s somewhat lengthy.

I’m recently unemployed because of a workplace vaccine mandate, and pissed off, and I thought I’d write about something I wanted to write about for a change – Why is the Freedom Convoy Different from Other Protests

Good work, Chris. We just got Jordan Petersoned. Bumped. We got Brit Humed, too.

Windsor Open?

Looks like this morning the police cleared out the small handful of protesters that stayed through the night in Windsor.  The number of police officers and all the resources used could be called massive by comparison.

You can see for yourself. There’s a good synopsis of everything on video here. 

The question now is can police keep control of the area and how many people will it take to do so? A slightly bigger, slightly more organized protest group could easily gum everything up again for a longer time. Similar smaller groups can reappear sporadically and spontaneously in the area.  It also looks like it will be nearly impossible for the police to duplicate this effort elsewhere.

A good clip here.

Let Them Eat Taser There Goes The Narrative 19 Comments

For the duration of the pandemic, the MSM and it’s Keynesian court economists repeatedly told us that we could safely dismiss the cost of the restrictions and lockdowns since the economy would magically “recover” from whatever shocks it was subjected to, provided governments engaged in astronomical borrowing in order to backstop losses.

Now that additional disruptions are arising from a less politically correct source, the economic impact is suddenly front and center. There’s a way to fix that, of course, but that would injure the narrative.

Murray Mullen, the head of one of Canada’s biggest trucking firms, sees blockades at border crossings this week in terms of productivity and pinch points. He sees trucks unable to move, or forced to take roundabout routes to get where they’re going, adding extra time and distance, eating into an already short supply of drivers and equipment.

Can be seen here. 

@thomasdaigle — Even though police have been moving in on protesters in Windsor, pushing them back, the crowd size actually seems to be growing. More protesters are arriving and few are leaving.

I hope everybody packed a lunch.

Crowd in Windsor still growing. 

Veterans show up to hold the line in Windsor.

Good thing the Mounties brought their own tow truck to Emerson.
