Tucker looks at what Canada’s government is doing about their peaceful protest emergency — simply resorting to tyranny.
Highlights include:
“You’ve got to feel a little bad for the many heads of western ‘democracies’, for them the end of the coronavirus pandemic is really the worst thing they can imagine. Put yourself in their position.”
“For two years, you’ve wielded unprecedented power over your country. For a person with no useful skills and limited job prospects in the real economy, and that describes all of them, it’s been an extraordinary experience.”
“Find an enemy, create a crisis, stay in power forever — it’s the oldest recipe for tyranny that there is. If we don’t recognize it in our own age, it’s only because nothing like this was supposed to happen in a democracy.”
“But it is happening, most clearly in Canada. Last week, Justin Trudeau used a peaceful trucker strike to declare martial law. Trudeau seized control of the police, he shut down opposition media coverage, he declared himself the final arbiter of all financial transactions in the nation of Canada.”
“This is what the collapse of democracy looks like. It’s not simply beating people in the streets, it’s making it impossible for them to live because you steal all their money. You award yourself the power to control every dollar in your country. Where does that power come from? Well, it’s a self-appointed power that Justin Trudeau now has, and you prevent anyone from speaking out against you.”
“It’s not simply an overreaction –a grotesque overreaction — to a peaceful protest. It’s a wild and unprecedented expansion of powers that is permanent and that make democracy impossible.”
“Canada’s finance ministry explained that Trudeau is not going to give up this power, ever. They don’t sound like Mussolini, but they’ve awarded themselves greater powers.”
