The war on energy and wasteful public spending have predictably driven up prices, particularly for food. This is not a bug for liberal policy, but a feature. As Vladimir Lenin said, “The worse, the better.” People have been conditioned to turn to Big Government for solutions to their problems, despite Big Government having caused most if not all of them. Unaffordable food is an easy problem to exploit.

Justin Trudeau says it is “not okay” that the people who provide Canadians with food make a profit doing so. So Big Government will have to step in, applying liberal logic by lowering prices with higher taxes:

As Founding Father John Marshall observed, the power to tax is the power to destroy.

Canada had no Founding Fathers. Rather than rebel, Canadians waited for the British Empire to wither away. It is not surprising that they are decaying more quickly into oligarchical collectivism, although the USA is not far behind.

What makes Justin Trudeau so dangerous is that he is hard to take seriously. He is a metrosexual soy boy. But he is also a tyrant whose ambitions might be worthy of a Bolshevik.

History buffs will recall that Stalin used control of the food supply to consolidate power. Most liberals sporting Ukrainian flag pins probably don’t know that Uncle Joe (as FDR affectionately called him) starved to death approximately 4 million Ukrainians during the Holodomor. But their leaders know.

Rumor has it that Justin Trudeau is the illegitimate son of communist dictator Fidel Castro. I’m starting to believe it.

Canadians let their squishy-soft pretty boy dictator get away with exploiting Covid as a pretext to impose martial law. So they should not be surprised to see Justin Trudeau soon push the envelope even further by announcing a ban on handguns:

When it comes to tyranny, cracking down on the right of self-defense is the ultimate red flag. No government would do this that means its people well. Canada’s rulers expect their agenda to engender armed resistance.

It is tempting to say that if Canadians put up with this, they ought to be kicked out of North America. But the USA is not far behind on the road to subjugation. Joe Biden croaks cluelessly that 9mm handguns are “high-caliber weapons,” that such a firearm “blows the lung out of the body,” and that they ought to be banned on the grounds that our constitutional rights are “never absolute.”

More than 40% of all pistols produced in the USA are 9mm. Anything less powerful is unsuitable for self-defense, as likely to enrage an attacker as to disable one.

The rubber is about to hit the road. If a people is not willing to do what it takes to stay free, it won’t.

While the media obsesses hysterically on Vladimir Putin, German MEP Christine Anderson recognizes that the West has threats to liberty closer to home. These prominently include Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who imposed martial law to suppress dissent against unreasonable Covid mandates:

Anderson is a member of Alternative für Deutschland. Too bad there aren’t parties named Alternative for Canada and Alternative for the USA.

Lately there is a grim sense of inevitability to most of the news, but surprises still happen. For example, Canada’s squishy-soft pretty boy dictator Justin Trudeau, who effectively declared martial law to suppress protests against his senseless Covid tyranny, has astonishingly said something reasonable people could agree with:

A prime example of a more authoritarian leader is Trudeau himself.

He goes on to say that the “misinformation and disinformation” that he wants to suppress through censorship have been “turning people against the values and principles of democracies.” An example of actual misinformation and disinformation having this effect is Trudeau incongruously attempting to associate the Freedom Convoy with “antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia” (i.e., the essence of evil from the viewpoint of liberals). Another example is the left-wing media that props up his regime denouncing the concept of “freedom” as a far-right principle.

If there is one thing that all decent people of whatever income, religion, race, or ethnicity can agree on, it is that their children should be protected from perverts. On behalf of the liberal establishment, Justin Trudeau accuses all of them of hate:

Context:

Trudeau was reacting to large-scale anti-grooming protests sweeping Canada, at which demonstrators are speaking out against transgender propaganda and gender identity ideology being taught to their children in schools.

Here’s a response to Trudeau et al. that the mainstream media is unlikely to feature:

The reason Democrats dropped the incremental approach and tipped their hands as authoritarians by arresting the leading opposition candidate is that the resistance Trump has come to personify threatens to snatch away absolute power just as they are on the verge of achieving it. This scares leftists all the way up in Canada:

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly reportedly stated in an interview that Canada has been working on a “game plan” for the outcome of America’s upcoming presidential election.

Joly speaks not only for Canada; the sinister globalists of the World Economic Forum named her a “young global leader.” She is considered a Justin Trudeau protégé who might succeed him.

“Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada has been considering a ‘game plan’ for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year’s presidential elections,” Dylan Robertson wrote in a piece shared by National Post.

“Far-right, authoritarian” refers to resistance to the leftist authoritarianism that prevails in Canada and characterizes the Biden Regime.

During the same interview, she declared that “the other aspect of the question is more about knowing how we as a democracy are able to thwart the growth of the far right in our country, because it’s happening in the United States, it’s happening in Europe.”

Let’s hope so.

Anything so menacing as the “far right” naturally calls for stringent measures to repress. Pushback against Democrat overreach in the USA will be exploited as a pretext for crackdowns north of the border.

Joly has condemned political opposition at home and abroad before, such as when she appeared to blame American conservatives for interfering in Canadian politics by supporting truckers in the Freedom Convoy as they protested against vaccine mandates.

Wouldn’t it be a shame if the congealing totalitarian regime in Canada had to deal with a resurgence of liberty right across its border?

Ireland is not the only country hurtling toward totalitarianism in the name of political correctness. Metrosexual weenie Justin Trudeau presents more authoritarianism at the B20:

“While always ensuring and defending free speech,” dissident speech will be suppressed in the name of protecting crybullies because “it cannot by okay to bully and attack people online.”

The repulsive squishiness and arrogantly obvious phoniness of their sanctimonious doubletalk almost makes you long for the days when tyrants at least didn’t pretend not to be tyrants.

Like the media, metrosexual moonbat Justin Trudeau endorsed riots by Marxist black supremacists. Decent Canadians peacefully insisting on an end to Covid tyranny are another matter.

Watch as his thugs trample beneath the hooves of their horses a lady who was calling for “peace, love, and happiness”:

Unconfirmed word is that the woman was killed. Reports conflict on her status.

In diametric contrast to the Black Lives Matter riots approved by our ruling class, there was reportedly zero violence until the authorities brought it.

Meanwhile, Parliament has been closed off to MPs for their own alleged safety; debate on Trudeau’s Emergency Act has been suspended. At least for now, Canada is a police state dictatorship.

The choice is stark: we can drain the Swamp, like Javier Milei is doing in Argentina, or we can succumb to societal collapse, like Canada appears likely to do under Justin Trudeau. Only by purging the legions of pernicious federal bureauweenies who are smothering our liberties and bleeding the country dry can we prevent these parasites from killing their host. Donald Trump may be the man for the job. Democrats are worried enough to take steps to stop him:

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) finalized a rule that protects employees in the civil service by preventing the removal of their status and protections involuntarily, according to a press release. Under the new rule, an administration wishing to shift federal employees to a new category making them easier to fire would have to go through an elongated process, a move meant to be more time-consuming for a future president, Politico reported.

Democrats must not have total faith in the ability of the media assisted by election fraud to keep Biden in power. This is all about setting up roadblocks for Trump:

The rule is widely viewed as a response to an executive order signed in 2020 by former President Donald Trump, Politico reported. The executive order targeted federal workers, removing protections from some employees and make it easier for the president to hire and fire them.

Nothing about draining the Swamp is going to be easy. Fortunately, the liberal establishment has gone out of its way to motivate Trump by antagonizing him to the best of its ability.

The USA is coming to a fork in the road. We can see where one path goes by looking to the north, where authorities warn of societal collapse under squishy soft liberal tyrant Justin Trudeau. All the way in the opposite direction, Javier Milei presents the other option:

Argentine President Javier Milei announced his plans to slash 70,000 government jobs in an effort to shrink government expenditure and reduce the national deficit to zero. …

Over 50,000 of Argentina’s approximately 3.5 million public sector employees have already been dismissed, but more cuts were on the way.

Even in Argentina, upon which government hypertrophy has inflicted pointless misery for decades, pushback will be ferocious:

The Association of State Workers (ATE), one of the unions representing public employees, claimed that at least 10,000 state workers have already been let go as of Thursday. ATE leader Rodolfo Aguiar called the layoffs “illegal” and “unjustified” and called for a national strike on April 3.

Milei is also halting public pork projects and taking his budgetary chainsaw to wasteful welfare programs. It has to be done:

Argentina’s inflation rate has reached a three-decade high at over 250 percent, with an estimated 57 percent of the country living in poverty. To end the economic crisis, Milei has slashed state subsidies, reduced the number of government ministries by half, closed state agencies, and devalued the peso by 50 percent.

That’s the sort of decisive leadership that will be required to get the USA’s staggering national debt under control.

Other benefits of purging our own hostile bureaucracy are obvious to any lover of freedom. But who will have the nerve to carry out this essential task before the parasite finishes killing the host? The liberal establishment thinks Trump might do it, or it would not have worked itself into a hysterical frenzy over the likelihood that he would win a fair election.

Meanwhile, as Justin Trudeau’s regime tries to push down harder with life sentences for ideological infractions, police worry that building pressure will blow the lid off the pot:

Police have warned Canada’s leaders they will struggle to contain the fury at its deteriorating economy and a generational revolt by young people unable to ever buy a home.

The secret report by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police paints an apocalyptical picture of the future for America’s northern neighbor…

The report…

…warns that the truckers’ convoy protests that polarized the country in 2022 may just be the precursor for a society increasingly polarized by ‘conspiracy theories and paranoia’.

The leftists who charted this course for Canada will no doubt respond by suppressing what the report calls “misinformation” so as to keep the “conspiracy theories and paranoia” (i.e., awareness of what Trudeau et al. are doing to their country) under control, forcing the pressure to build still further until it finally blows.

We all know about Bidenomics. Here’s what the report has to say about the likely consequences of Trudeaunomics:

“The coming period of recession will accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations.”

Global warming lunacy inflicted by the government will accelerate this decline still more, ensuring that people have ever more to be angry about and ever less to lose.

Canadians sat out the American Revolution. It’s not too late to catch up.

Sometimes even left-wing politicians are sincere. Watch as Senator Chris Murphy, top Democrat negotiator for the failed bill to open the border even wider, specifies who it is that Democrats and their RINO collaborators care about most: “undocumented Americans that are in this country” — i.e., invaders illegally imported by our hostile government at our expense:

MSNBC propagandist Chris Hayes and Chris Murphy are members of the same species, Liberalis whitemalicus, identifiable by its repulsive, sluglike softness. You expect these creatures to leave a muculent trail behind them as they go.

Another specimen of this species is Justin Trudeau — who is also sometimes capable of sincerity:

True enough, Canadians who would vote for the party of Trudeau do not want Canada to be great.

When your rulers tell you that they care more about foreign invaders than they do about you and that they do not want their country to be great, believe them.

Considering the resurgence of belligerent Islam, Biden’s refusal to stop financing much less to oppose it, and the wide open southern border, it is surprising that we don’t hear more often about Islamic terror attacks. Then again, given that the media establishment has reduced itself to the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party, maybe it isn’t so surprising. Refer to the moribund canary in the coalmine of moonbattery, Canada:

This was an all-out Gaza-inspired, jihadist terror attack with gunfire and home-made bombs at Edmonton’s City Hall on Tuesday and not a word out of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about it so far. …

Security video shows a man entering Edmonton’s City Hall wearing a Commissionaires Security jacket and carrying a long gun and appearing to shoot it.

Suspect Bezhani Sarvar not only fired off the gun but lit several incendiary devices, according to police.

In addition to the horror of security video showing the armed man during his attack, a taped manifesto which included Arabic greetings was also discovered.

Chances are good you never heard a word about it. The event did not fit the liberal narrative. So we heard about women’s hockey instead.

The governmedia was able to ignore the Edmonton attack because as it turned out, no one was hurt. When Hamas supporters set off a dirty nuke in a major city, pretending it didn’t happen will be more difficult. So they will blame it on Islamophobia.

The FBI had better monitor the conflict between pederasts and lesbians. If the L gets ejected from LGBTetc, the agency must stand ready to issue another official statement:

An email reportedly from the bureau’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion to all FBI employees was leaked online.

“The FBI has officially adopted the LGBTQIA+ acronym in place of LGBT+. This change was proposed by Bureau Equality, one of our nine Diversity Advisory Committees, and approved by FBI executive management to help promote a more welcoming workplace for members of our LGBTQIA+ community,” read the email.

Eight Diversity Advisory Committees wouldn’t be enough for the agency tasked with imposing leftist ideology on a nation of 333 million.

The email went on to explain what each part of the LGBTQIA+ acronym meant.

The Deep State cares deeply about promoting sexual perversion. Even so, it struggles to keep pace with the personification of moonbattery, Justin Trudeau:

Trudeau was mocked online after he began using the even more inclusive acronym, 2SLGBTQQIA+.

You can see why the FBI requires a massive new headquarters twice the size of the Pentagon. If it has fallen behind Canada, it must need to hire more leftist bureauweenies — though it already has impressive reach:

The email from the FBI claimed that more than 30 federal agencies were to use the expanded acronym, including the Department of Justice.

The repurposing of the FBI as an enforcement arm of the Democratic Party has not gone unnoticed by the people it stands ready to terrorize:

Only 37 percent of registered voters held a positive view of the FBI, almost as many as said they had a negative view (35 percent). Furthermore, only 17 percent of Republicans polled held a positive view, compared with 56 percent negative. This was a stark change from 2018, when the bureau held a 52 percent positive rating with just 18 percent of registered voters viewing it negatively.

It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end. Already the FBI has been spying on Catholics, intimidating parents who speak up at school board meetings, and siccing SWAT teams on prolife activists. It needs to be disbanded before it has finished transforming into an American KGB.
