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.

On a tip from Mr. Freemarket.

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.

On a tip from Angel.

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.

Yesterday was International Women’s Day. Moonbats marked it by honoring men, women having been erased in accordance with woke ideology, according to which they do not exist in any meaningful sense.

Once again the Biden Regime positions itself at the vanguard of liberal lunacy, this time by honoring a guy calling himself Alba Rueda at the 2023 International Women of Courage Awards:

Rueda is Argentina’s Special Envoy for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Rueda is responsible for the country’s adoption of the Transgender Labor Quota Act, which reserved 1% of public sector jobs in Argentina for transgender people, according to a State Department press release.

Thanks to Rueda, diversity hires that otherwise would have gone to women will go instead to men pretending to be women. For this, he is honored for having served women. Because all things liberal are upside down, backward, and mind-warpingly preposterous.

The sort of libs who place LGBT rainbows, mask and vax symbols, and of course the Ukrainian flag next to their Twitter handle are delighted to see this guy handed an award by Edith Wilson wannabe and noted brain surgeon “Dr” Jill Biden:

Okay, Troll Slayer is satire. But at this point, what’s the difference?

Moving from parody to self-parody, “Me too!” squeaks Canada’s squishy-soft pretty boy Moonbat in Chief:

In Moonbattese, the word “hate” can be defined as “failure to comply with woke ideology.” “Anti-transgender hate” means failure to affirm the artificial identities of people who pretend to be members of the opposite sex. To “stand up to this hate” is to crush resistance and impose submission.

Kira Davis aptly responds:

“Thank you, Prime Minister Blackface. Without a man to mansplain what a woman is, how could I ever know?”

Trudeau has been photographed wearing blackface, a thought crime would result in the cancelation of anyone but a prominent leftist. That may explain why he champions transsexuals, who insult women by wearing womanface.

At first glance, it is hard to see what is so controversial about Jordan Peterson. He is a soft-spoken psychologist who provides common sense self-help advice to young men. His political views are not extreme. However, his refusal to recite “2 + 2 = 5” on orders from the thought police got him kicked off Twitter under its previous ownership. Now, he has been sentenced to reeducation camp for criticizing Canada’s leftist government:

The College of Psychologists of Ontario ordered the best-selling author and Daily Wire+ host to undergo “social media communications retraining” or face a hearing on the potential suspension of his license.

Characteristically,

Peterson vowed not to participate in the process and decried the effort to stifle free speech.

That’s the attitude that got him in trouble in the first place.

Peterson wrote an open letter to Canada’s squishy soft pretty boy despot, Justin Trudeau:

“I simply cannot resign myself to the fact that in my lifetime I am required to resort to a public letter to the leader of my country to point out that political criticism has now become such a crime in Canada that if professionals dare engage in such activity, government-appointed commissars will threaten their livelihood and present them with the spectacle of denouncement and political disgrace,” Peterson wrote. “There is simply and utterly no excuse whatsoever for such a state of affairs in a free country.”

By “free country,” he must mean “soft tyranny.” When soft inevitably transitions to hard, people like Peterson will end up in gulags or face firing squads instead of having their licenses suspended.

His crimes:

Peterson’s latest alleged transgressions include retweeting Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre’s criticism of Trudeau, blasting Trudeau’s former senior aide, Gerald Butts, and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, tweeting opposition to a plan by Ottawa police to take custody of the children of the Trucker Convoy protesters, and telling Joe Rogan’s podcast audience that acceptance of radical gender theory is a sign of “civilizations collapsing” and that climate change models are unreliable.

Past crimes include pointing out that plus-sized swimsuit model Yumi Nu on the cover of Sports Illustrated for purposes of political correctness is “not beautiful” and that “no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.”

Styxhexenhammer666 observes that Canada’s thought police are applying a policy employed by repressive regimes like Saddam Hussein’s by trying to force him to pay for the bullet used to execute him. Specifically, he is supposed to pay for his ChiCom-style struggle session:

Regarding Peterson’s crime and punishment, this hits the mark:

“The whole point is to be as arbitrary and as opaque as possible so that they can always nail you.”

That’s why there are no actual laws in Oceania in 1984. It’s why an established sportscaster like Gary Hahn can get indefinitely suspended for saying “illegal alien.”

If you serve the government, maybe it will take care of you. Then again, maybe it won’t — unless by “taking care” you mean offering to kill you after you are no longer useful.

Retired Canadian Army Corporal Christine Gauthier has been trying to get Veterans Affairs Canada to help her install a wheelchair lift in her home since 2017. A VAC caseworker suggested solving the problem through euthanasia:

After years of frustrating delays in getting the home lift, Gauthier says the caseworker told her: ‘Madam, if you are really so desperate, we can give you medical assistance in dying now.’

This isn’t the first time a Canadian vet has been offered suicide as a healthcare option. Whether they ever fought a foreign enemy comprising a more direct threat to Canadians than their own government is doubtful.

The scandal emerged a week after Canada’s veterans affairs minister confirmed that at least four other veterans were similarly offered access to Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) law in response to their troubles…

Gauthier was injured in an Army training accident in 1989, suffering permanent damage to her knees and her spine.

She has made the best of her situation, competing in paralympic games. However, some might decide that her life is not worth living.

Starting next year, those deemed to be suffering from mental illness will also qualify for MAID. No one that mentally ill would be competent to make such a decision. However, Canada has plenty of bureaucrats to nudge them in the correct direction — or just make the decision for them.

No word on whether Justin Trudeau considers opposition to his Covid tyranny to indicate mental illness.

There are already signs the system is failing some Canadians, with reports of people receiving approval for assisted suicides for diabetes or homelessness.

Assisted suicide solves all sorts of problems. Some would call it the Final Solution.

On a tip from Ed McAninch.

It has become axiomatic: whatever Democrats accuse their opponents of, they are guilty of themselves. But even if liberals constantly call their opponents Nazis, surely they aren’t Nazis themselves — except maybe sometimes, as when Canada moves to expand medical assistance in dying (MAID):

Bill C-7 would allow individuals seeking MAID to apply solely on the basis of a mental disorder. Prior to the bill’s passage, MAID eligibility was based on having a “grievous and irremediable medical condition,” according to a report from the Canadian government on the practice.

Likewise, the Third Reich’s preferred treatment for those with debilitating mental problems was the final solution.

The mentally ill aren’t the only problematic people who can be nudged out of existence:

Creighton School of Medicine professor Charles Camosy said Wednesday on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” the bill would allow “mature minors” to be euthanized by state doctors without the consent of their parents.

If you would surgically disfigure children on behalf of the LGBT agenda, you probably won’t have moral qualms about killing them outright.

Camosy argued that the MAID practice exists for several groups already.

“We’ve got the homeless, we talked about that last time. The poor. The disabled. Those with chronic pain. And then right before coming on, I researched the physicians group in Quebec that wants to kill newborn infants. That’s what’s coming next,” he told host Tucker Carlson.

Some of the critters manage to slip past the abortionist. Can’t have that. They could go on to emit carbon for decades, which would be offensive to the climate.

The medical humanities professor said health care has been “hyper-secularized” in recent years and is based on “cost-benefit analysis.”

Combine socialized medicine with the marginalization of Christian values and you get extermination as “healthcare.”

Already, a Canadian vet seeking treatment for PTSD and a traumatic brain injury was offered assisted suicide by Veterans Affairs Canada.

Led by Justin Trudeau, Canada is at the vanguard of moonbattery. But Democrat-controlled parts of the USA do not lag far behind:

Oregon was the first state in the United States to approve medically assisted suicide, with a law going into effect in 1997. California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, Vermont, Washington state and Washington, D.C., have approved similar laws…

Conservatives are characterized as prolife not because it is an unusual position to be in favor of human existence, but because the opposition is prodeath.

By the way, some argue that racism should be officially recognized as a mental health problem. Others argue that a preference for lower taxes is racist. You can see where this is heading.

On a tip from Wiggins.

The supposed mass grave of oppressed indigenous children at the Kamloops school in British Columbia is among the grandest hate hoaxes of recent times:

A mass grave filled with the remains of 215 Indigenous children, some as young as three, has been found on the grounds of a former residential school in Canada…

The grisly discovery in the interior of southern British Columbia was made at the former Kamloops Indian residential school using ground-penetrating radar…

The school was open between 1890 and 1978 and ran by the Roman Catholic Church as part of a network of institutions across Canada…

This shocking revelation was aggressively seized upon by moonbats as proof of the nefariousness of Caucasians, Christianity, and Western Civilization:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decreed, partly at the request of tribal leaders, that all flags on federal buildings fly at half-mast. The Canadian government and provincial authorities pledged about $320 million to fund more research and in December pledged another $40 billion involving First Nations child-welfare claim settlements that partially compensate some residential school attendees. Pope Francis issued a formal apology on behalf of the Catholic church, which ran many of the residential school facilities and asked for God’s forgiveness.

Francis should pray for Catholics to forgive him for reflexively siding against the Church he is supposed to represent.

Kamloops helped motivate a tidal wave of arson and vandalism unleashed against churches across Canada. But like everything else leftists want badly to believe in, Kamloops is a lie.

Ground-penetrating radar has supposedly revealed another 800 buried children. But well over a year since the supposed mass grave was revealed, no actual bodies have been found. It appears to be nothing more than an old septic system.

Canada’s Rebel News pulls back the curtain:

If something sounds too good to be true from the viewpoint of the liberal narrative, that is because it is not true.

No matter. The drive-by media made the desired impression. Plenty of people heard the original story. Few will ever know it was a lie. In politics, perception is reality.

On a tip from Steve S.

Independent transportation is crucial to liberty. That’s why progressives adore public transportation. It is why only Inner Party members will have private cars when the Liberal World Order has finished imposing utopia:

The World Economic Forum is calling for a global transition … away from private ownership of vehicles and other “idle equipment” in order to make a “clean energy revolution” possible.

It would be easy to laugh at the arrogant Dr Evil lookalike Klaus Schwab, except that his sinister WEF increasingly appears to be in the driver’s seat. Consider ostensible world leaders like Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, and Mark Rutte. Which do they seem more responsive to, the needs of their people or the demands of Klaus Schwab?

Even the WEF acknowledges that left-wing “clean energy” fantasies will require more of certain metals than the planet has to offer. This is especially problematic because the WEF disapproves of mining. The solution: you can’t have your own car anymore.

Metals like cobalt, lithium and nickel are used not only in climate cult foolishness like electric cars and wind turbines, but also in phones and computers. So we will have to go without those too.

The [WEF] argues that private ownership of vehicles and electronic devices is wasteful and inefficient.

You will own nothing and you will be happy. Oligarchical collectivists actually mean this. How they plan to force us to be happy is unclear. Maybe Pfizer is working on pharmaceutical lobotomies that can be mandated or put in the drinking water.

On tips from Blackjack, Wiggins, Stormfax, and Mr. Freemarket.

Covid restrictions have been devastating for our economy, our health, our sanity, and our freedom. The leftist ruling class sees them as a successful dry run for a permanent lockdown, which will be inflicted in the name of climate change. As with Covid, this will require suppression of free speech, lest people learn that the tyranny is an end itself based upon lies.

We can’t say they didn’t warn us. Squeaked squishy soft Covid tyrant Justin Trudeau last summer, “What we learned from this COVID crisis, we will be applying to the climate crisis…”

Trudeau is far from alone. There has been a concerted attack on free speech as the liberal establishment lays the groundwork for extreme measures.

Obama demanded more censorship shortly before the Biden Regime introduced its new Ministry of Truth. Twitter announced recently that it is banning advertising that does not comply with the global warming hoax.

The Federalist has more:

Google has already banned advertisements that “contradict well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change.” YouTube and Facebook now display Covid-style warning labels and “information panels” next to videos and posts that mention climate change or global warming.

Pinterest has also forbidden questioning of leftist climate dogma.

Facts or opinions that undermine the lie that extreme measures are required to prevent global doom are characterized as “mis-/disinformation,” presumably subject to suppression by the DHS Disinformation Government Board.

Militant climate kooks are loving it:

Michael Khoo serves as “climate disinformation co-chair” at Friends of the Earth. He believes Pinterest has “demonstrated great leadership” and wants other tech platforms to follow suit. “Climate disinformation on digital platforms is a serious threat to the public support needed to solve the climate crisis,” according to Khoo.

The liberal media’s relentless barrage of propaganda won’t be enough. They need to suppress dissent. Otherwise, there won’t be enough public support to impose their agenda.

For the second time in as many years, we’re witnessing a partisan public relations campaign masquerading as objective science. Once again, it involves politicians, Big Tech, and the country’s expert class working in tandem to silence opposing voices by targeting free speech online.

At least Covid came with an expiration date, since pandemics don’t last forever. The advantage of pretending that climate change is a crisis is that the climate will never stop changing.

On a tip from Blackjack.

Unless you are a prominent moonbat like Justin Trudeau or Jimmy Kimmel, wearing blackface is thoughtcrime of the utmost seriousness. Those not punished by cancelation are subjected to pious reprimands of the sort liberals are so eager to inflict that even a black guy can be the target:

[Last] week, an [Arizona State University] instructor, and a librarian, who hold themselves out as being Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) gurus, falsely accused a Black DJ of wearing blackface during a charity event for the Scottsdale Unified school district.

The event had a disco theme. But the costumes didn’t extend to skin color.

Stuart Rhoden and Jill Lassen attacked the Scottsdale Unified School District’s Hopi Elementary PTA for hiring Koko Kim Hunter to host their charity auction.

They denounced Hunter for wearing blackface. He’s black.

The Arizona Library Association describes Jill Lassen as “an ardent community volunteer, activist, and ally to the LGBTQ+ community.” But she wasn’t too woke to wipe the egg off her face and sheepishly apologize.

In contrast, ASU instructor Stuart Rhoden, a member of Scottsdale Unified’s Equity and Inclusion Committee and the Scottsdale Human Relations Commission and a black guy himself, doubled down:

I did not state that the person was White. It was assumed that was my intent, and perhaps it was, but nonetheless, looking on his FB page … it seems at the very least he is in darker make-up if not “Black face” or I am completely mistaken and it’s the lighting of the patio.

A true moonbat never backs down from moonbattery. Once they start admitting to being wrong, their whole ideology will come unraveled.

On tips from Jack D and StephaneDumas.

As Black Lives Matter goons rioted repeatedly in DC, setting fire to a historic church a block from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and physically menacing a sitting Senator, local authorities established “Black Lives Matter Plaza” and painted “BLACK LIVES MATTER” in bright giant letters stretching for two blocks of Sixteenth Street leading to the White House. In stark contrast, the authorities have reacted to truckers who oppose never-ending Covid tyranny driving around on I-495 outside of town by declaring a state of emergency:

The Capitol Police Board on Sunday issued an emergency declaration as truck drivers protesting COVID-19 policies gather in the D.C. area, according to reports.

As predicted, the response of our leftist rulers to the People’s Convoy is the same as gelatinous tyrant Justin Trudeau’s response to the Freedom Convoy. The public expression of views contrary to those of the liberal establishment is now regarded as an emergency.

This allows for a military response from the National Guard, which is how protests are addressed in banana republic dictatorships.

In February, temporary fencing was put up around the Capitol in response to reports of disruptive truck convoys potentially arriving in Washington to protest COVID-19 restrictions.

At least DC authorities appear to have dropped the strategy of allowing civil disorder to get out of hand, so that they can tearfully exploit it afterward during political theatrical productions.
