As of right now, massive amounts of police have arrived in Ottawa, two of the convoy organizers were arrested last night, and police appear prepared to make mass arrests and clear the protest today.
They are doing this under the cover of the Emergency Act, the successor act to the War Measures Act, which was only invoked three times in Canada’s history: WWI, WWII, and the FLQ uprising in 1970, which was invoked by Justin Trudeau’s assumed father, Pierre Trudeau, and at the time was criticized by human rights groups.
The government has announced that this Act gives them the power to arrest protestors, although peaceful protest is a Charter right; freeze bank accounts without a court order (which has already happened to some protestors); and forbid travel to certain locations.
Once invoked, the Act must be voted upon by Parliament within 7 days. They were supposed to sit to debate and vote today, but the vote was cancelled on the basis of police action in Ottawa. In other words, the Liberal government cancelled the vote on the Emergency Act they invoked in order to carry out police action which would have been stopped by a “no” vote.
So we have our answer to how our supposedly democratic government responds to a peaceful protest: ignore them, denigrate and insult them, run away and hide from them, refuse to dialogue or negotiate, invoke an Act which was meant to deal with war or insurrection, and crack down by arresting peaceful protestors and freezing bank accounts. Basically, Canada has become a dictatorship where the will of one man and his band of enablers reigns supreme, and the rule of law is utterly and completely trampled upon.
I keep seeing people saying online that the government “can’t” or “won’t” do such-and-such because it’s illegal. These people are unfortunately too optimistic. The government simply does not care. It is doing whatever it wants, totally disregarding the law or making it up as it goes. Our phone calls and emails and petitions and protests are like so many pieces of paper trying to hold back a hurricane.
I am not sure why this should be surprising. The government has been violating the rights and freedoms supposedly guaranteed to us under the Charter for two years now: the rights to mobility, assembly, worship, life, liberty, security of the person, and on and on it goes. Everything it has been doing has been blatantly illegal. Yet they did it all under the guise of protecting public health and safety.
Now that pretense has been stripped away. Anyone who is not absolutely and completely brainwashed should be able to see by this naked exercise of tyranny that this is not, and never was, about the prevention of a virus. It is a total and unabashed power grab. The tiger has shown its face; it is not the sweet kitten it was pretending to be.
One particular Biblical phrase keeps coming to mind as I think about all of this: “they give their power and strength unto the beast”. It comes from Revelation 17:12-14:
And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.
It is quite clear that Justin Trudeau is a “king” or ruler who has utterly surrendered his power to the beast, representing the Satanic, anti-God kingdom. A dark and evil hour has come to Canada. How this will play out, I do not know. All I can say is that I am not optimistic about the former state of things being restored. If Justin Trudeau is allowed his way in crushing this peaceful protest, nothing will stop him. None of our elected officials who could and should stop him, are doing their job. None of the peaceful, lawful, democratic means of resisting and requesting change have worked so far.
When you have a government which enacts at will mandates on its citizens that violate its own Constitution; ignores or silences all dissenting voices; strips doctors of their licenses for contradicting its advice; coerces its citizens to receive an experimental medical injection by robbing them of their jobs, studies, and freedoms; freezes or seizes the assets of dissidents; and violently arrests peaceful protestors - it is time to understand, you are no longer living in a free country. You are living in a dictatorship. You are living in communism. You are living in totalitarianism. Whatever you want to call it, the freedom and good governance that made our country great and attracted immigrants and refugees from all over the world longing to live freely and safely, is gone.
The tyrant has unmasked himself. Justin Trudeau, whoever is behind him, and those enabling him, care nothing for Canadians. His narcissism, rage, and lust for power and money have led him to destroy the country he was elected to serve. He would never have stopped on his own, and the confrontation of the protestors has simply forced him to reveal his hand. This is who he always was.
This won’t end well for him when he has to face God someday, but in the meantime, the damage he’s done has and will be enormous. How much worse it could get, I don’t know. I pray God has mercy on Canada.
