Justin Trudeau’s power grab having succeeded to the point of being officially endorsed by Parliament, the world’s softest dictator has relinquished his emergency powers until the next time someone demonstrates against his authoritarian government. Hilariously, he now says Canada will “stand against authoritarianism” in other countries.

Speaking of other countries threatened by authoritarianism, a People’s Convoy has been launched in the Mojave Desert. It is headed to the District of Corruption, inspired by the Canadian Freedom Convoy that was crushed so thuggishly by Trudeau. The leftist response will be the same.

American moonbats approve of Trudeau’s ham-fisted tactics, which included freezing the bank accounts of those suspected of protesting against Covid tyranny:

Democrats overwhelmingly favored Trudeau’s response with 65% approval to 17% disapproval. Republican responses were weighted even more heavily against Trudeau, however, with 87% of likely GOP voters disapproving to just 8% approving. Respondents who said they did not belong to either one of the two main parties cut against Trudeau’s crackdown with 74% disapproving versus 21% approving.

That anyone other than Democrats could approve is a testament to the insidious power of the media.

Elected Dems are eager to implement similar policies. The Obama Regime already used the tactic of going through banks to attack fundamental liberties with Operation Choke Point, whereby the feds attacked our Second Amendment rights by bullying banks for doing business with those who make and sell firearms. Under Biden, these goons are less subtle, and may opt to seize property directly.

Arizona Congresscritter Ruben Gallego may be best known for giving his former wife Kate Gallego (née Widland) a Hispanic name, which helped her become Mayor of Phoenix, but he has bigger ambitions. He wants to replace Kyrsten Sinema in the Senate for not being sufficiently radical. He also wants to confiscate trucks from dissidents:

In light of reports that a convoy could target D.C.’s Capital beltway this week, Gallego, who has served in Congress for more than seven years, suggested seizing the trucks: “Perfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business,” Gallego tweeted.

Gallego isn’t bright enough to come up with the idea on his own:

The mayor of Ottawa, Canada has said that he inquired with the city manager about how the trucks towed from the protest could be seized and sold to cover costs incurred in connection with the demonstration.

Not everyone thinks it’s a great idea:

Dana Loesch, responding to Gallego’s suggestion that trucks should be seized, noted that such action is, “Also known as theft.”

Yes, government confiscating property is theft. But these days, that is not a compelling argument against stealing the trucks. As we incrementally succumb to socialism, theft is becoming the basis of our economic system, with the useless federal government blowing through over $6 trillion of our money per year and expanding relentlessly.

As resistance to what Justin Trudeau personifies spreads, let’s not forget the way protesters against senseless Covid tyranny have been treated in Ottawa:

We are all Canadians right now.

Marxist black supremacists can spend a year looting and burning and the authorities will barely lift a finger. But oppose the liberal agenda and they will come down hard. However, the alternative to standing up to them is to subsist as their slaves.

On a tip from Wiggins.

The showdown in Ottawa seems to be over. Yet metrosexual martinet Justin Trudeau is holding on to his “emergency” powers — and resistance to him and the globalist liberal elite he personifies is spreading:

Meanwhile, south of Canada’s border,

“Freedom Convoy” protesters are expected to congregate in Washington, D.C., this week as U.S. truckers opposed to President Joe Biden’s federal vaccine mandates seek to emulate their Canadian brethren.

The harder effete tyrants like Trudeau and Biden stomp on the rake, the harder the handle will whack their slack-jawed faces.

Police are only the good guys if the government whose will they enforce is good. In Canada under leftist rule, they are becoming the bad guys, as their response to the Freedom Convoy protest against Covid tyranny has made obvious:

Going out to get a coffee is one of those simple freedoms that people in Ottawa can no longer take for granted:

Under Justin Trudeau, even Dudley Do-Right’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police are now on the side of the baddies:

“Time for the protesters to hear our jackboots on the ground,” one member of RCMP Musical Ride allegedly wrote. Musical Ride is described as a RCMP group assisting “front-line police operations by building positive relationships, supporting recruiting efforts and promoting the RCMP’s image in communities in Canada.”

Cheering citizens getting trampled won’t help their image much:

“just watched the horse video – that is awesome,” the RCMP Musical Ride member allegedly wrote.

“we should practice that manoeuvre.”

See the supposedly awesome maneuver here. The woman who had been talking about “peace, love, and happiness” was seriously injured but thankfully not killed when she was trampled.

The Mounties aren’t the only ones who have been recruited to enforce Trudeau’s malign will. As the Toronto Sun reports (bold in original),

One of the most far-reaching implications of the Emergencies Act is what it prescribes for the Canadian financial system. According to the government’s new Emergency Economic Measures Order, every single bank, credit union, investment broker and insurance provider in the country has been deputized to figure out if they have a blockader as a client, and to immediately freeze their accounts if so.

As moonbattery rots away national character, authoritarian government rushes to fill the vacuum. The nature of police work changes dramatically, as does the nature of people who want to be police. But then, in a police state, everyone who wants to stay out of prison works for the police.

On tips from Wiggins. Hat tip: Legal Insurrection.

Having at least temporarily secured dictatorship in the name of the fading Covid virus, Canada’s leftist government can take part in a favorite sport of authoritarian regimes, namely, condemning other regimes for being authoritarian:

This will be especially rich if it turns out that Justin Trudeau really is the offspring of Cuba’s first communist dictator as rumor has it.

Pretty Boy Trudeau’s own excesses have not gone unnoticed by Canada’s peers in the authoritarian regime community:

Unless Parliament can reassert itself and pry Trudeau’s soft hands loose from power, Canada deserves a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council, along with China, Cuba, Somalia, Finland, et cetera.
