Christmas 2024 will be the second Christmas after that dark time in Canadian history when the authoritarian governments of Justin Trudeau, Francois Legault, Doug Ford, and other premiers across Canada locked Canadians in our homes like cattle. They demanded that we either isolate from our families or enforced quotas demanding we screen for vaccine status to see our loved ones under threat of legal enforcement. Insert your 1984 George Orwell analogy here.

I have visited several countries since the Freedom Convoy to give speeches and interviews about Canadas most loving protest and to discuss the uncomfortable truth of what really happened in Canada during that time. I have yet to travel to a jurisdiction where Canadian truckers are not embraced as a symbol of freedom. From England to El Salvador, From Colombia to across the USA, the overwhelming majority agree Canadian Trucks as a symbol of freedom. The only people to seem clueless of that fact are people tainted by narrative poisoning in Canada and it’s usually limited a few left wing cities in Canada struggling with the woke mind virus. ...

The good news is, the Freedom Convoy was a turning point for change around the world, beginning with Robert F. Kennedy’s Speech at Bitcoin Miami, followed by the recent election victories of Javier Milei in Argentina and Geert Wilders in the Netherlands. Milei and Wilders can both attribute their victories in small part due to the successful cultural pushback that began in Ottawa at the Freedom Convoy and then shocked the world when the Trudeau government unlawfully froze our bank accounts while Doug Ford sought an injunction to freeze convoy donations. It will take time for people on the political right to accept that vicious opportunists in the uni-party that sold us out in Ottawa but it is important to expose this over time. We cannot fix a system that is corrupt on all ends if we only focus on one aspect of the system. ...

People who may not have identified with our plight at the time and had fallen victim to the overwhelming amount of state propaganda during COVID are now wanting to engage in open dialogue, and learn what they got wrong. The weakness of political & media brainwashing is eventually, the brainwashing begins to wear off, and that is the stage we are beginning now with respect to COVID and the Freedom Convoy.

weirdness there,

A lot

The Invocation of the Emergencies Measures Act was Unlawful, Ruled Justice Mosley.

The Federal Court of Canada, under Justice Mosley, ruled that the invocation of the Emergencies Act was ultra vires. It was deemed an abuse of power, discriminatory, unconstitutional, beyond legal authority, unlawful, and illegal.

Finally, in some terrific news for our Canadian brethren, the Wall Street Journal ran a story yesterday headlined, “Canada’s Use of Emergency Powers to End Trucker Protests Was Unconstitutional, Judge Rules.”

In a stunning rebuke to the Prime Minister, Canadian justice Richard Mosley ruled illegal and unreasonable Trudeau’s February 2022 use of the “Emergencies Act” against the Canadian Truckers. Canadian officials vowed to appeal the ruling. (We’ll see.)

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association, one of the plaintiffs who challenged the Prime Minister’s use of emergency powers, argued the government unnecessarily shredded people’s constitutional rights for what was essentially a one-city policing issue in Ottawa, including bulldozing long-protected rights like, for example, freezing protestors’ bank accounts and seizing their other assets.

In his decision, Justice Mosley wrote that the Trudeau’s government use of the federal Emergencies Act “does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness—justification, transparency and intelligibility—and was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration.” The justice also concluded Trudeau’s use of emergency powers infringed on several constitutional provisions.

It seems everybody wants to come to the “emergency powers” party, but nobody wants to stay after and help clean up.

May God bless the Canadian Truckers, whose dramatic protest arguably turned the worldwide tide against mandates and against lockdowns through their heroic efforts and selfless sacrifices. This decision, although two years late, vindicated them and added fuel to a growing anti-Trudeau movement in Canada that is solidly reflected in polls. A post-Trudeau Canada might be hard to imagine, and almost impossible to handicap, but it now lies in view.

Keep on trucking!

“Ep. 68 Whatever happened to the truckers who dared to protest Justin Trudeau? Some of them are still in jail, years later. Trucker Gord Magill explains how darkness has descended on Canada.”

The most heinous of the charges leveled against two of the men freed this week have now been dropped, bringing into question once again the suspension of Canadian civil liberties, and reveals more clearly than ever that the Coutts Four have been political prisoners from the start, imprisoned on spurious grounds for daring to oppose the Trudeau Regime's COVID policies.

Given the political implications, lack of evidence, and outright campaign of silence around this case, one would think that investigative journalists would be all over it, asking hard questions about why a modern western nation state has political prisoners. It is long past time for the Canadian media to stop colluding with the government it's supposed to be covering critically. We need to be asking some hard questions about what happened with the Coutts Four: Were the charges laid against them politically motivated? Why did the Crown take so long to get this trial underway? Why did a judge deny them bail twice? Why were these men kept in solitary confinement?

American authorities have been punishing dissidents with the no-fly list for years; many have suggested that the no-fly list has been an effective means of pressuring dissident thought leaders to turn Federal informant or agent. Travel restrictions were also used as a pressure tactic in Canada, where Canadian citizens who refused the gene therapy injections were prohibited from boarding aircraft or boats; since the US border was closed to the unshot, medical dissidents were de facto prevented from leaving Canada entirely. Bank account freezes were used against the Canadian Freedom Convoy, and debanking has also been used in the United Kingdom, most infamously in the case of UKIP leader Nigel Farage, although he is far from the only case.

But for all of its algorithmic control, the Regime’s internal social control is looking precarious.

Take the Canadian Trucker Convoy. This was perhaps the most logistically impressive protest in history, organized across several thousand kilometres, in the middle of a freezing Canadian February. It brought an end to global hygiene tyranny, despite getting systematically removed from crowdfunding platforms, participants’ bank accounts being frozen, and the entire media apparatus screaming FASCIST NAZI RACIST TRANSPHOBES at full volume throughout. Sure, the Honkening was eventually shut down by storm troopers, but not before precipitating a leadership coup in Canada’s Conservative Party. In the aftermath, the Canadian government was forced to quietly relax essentially every mandate, and European countries followed suit (“Oh shit, if those mild-mannered Canadians are willing to do that, what are the French going to do?”) As Kulaksaid, the truckers won. They got everything they wanted.

On Valentine’s Day 2022, the federal cabinet triggered the Emergencies Act to smash the pan-Canadian trucker encampment in Ottawa. The freedom convoy was an honest call for liberty, reverberating now the in carbon tax protests.

The government’s heavy-handed reaction to the convoy laid grounds for a number of lawsuits. In one such case, Justice Richard G. Mosley of the Federal Court in Canadian Frontline Nurses v. Canada (Attorney General) found that the government acted unlawfully, at paragraph 255:

"For these reasons, I conclude that there was no national emergency justifying the invocation of the Emergencies Act and the decision to do so was therefore unreasonable and ultra vires."

Though the decision was imperfect - the judge deemed warrantless bank freezes merely “inconvenient” at paragraph 369 - it was nevertheless a direct hit from a legal iceberg. The Liberal Party has been in cold water since [1, 2, 3].
