Canada Votes Away Its Freedom, 185 to 151

The death of freedom in Canada went by a party-line vote Monday evening, with the ruling Liberals and the far-Left New Democratic Party voting in favor of Justin Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act, and the Conservatives voting against.

In Canada, none of the Liberals and New Democrats who voted for the Emergencies Act appear to have pondered the lessons of the Left's history and how this whole thing can backfire on them so very easily.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh claimed Monday that the Freedom Convoy "Came here to overthrow a democratically elected government. It is a movement funded by foreign influence, and it is fed on disinformation. Its goal is to disrupt our democracy." If that reminds you of the Democrats' rhetoric about their fictional Jan. 6 "Insurrection," that's because Canada's Liberals and the Democrats in the States are working from the same playbook: demonize their opposition as insurrectionists and restrict their activities accordingly.

Trudeau keeps promising that this will soon be over: "There continues to be real concerns about the coming days, but we will continue to evaluate every single day whether or not it is time and we are able to lift this state of emergency." Will you be surprised if he keeps on finding new reasons why the state of emergency simply has to continue for the welfare of all Canadians? I won't either.

Trudeau has won the day and can proceed to crush the truckers and their supporters, seizing all their assets until they cry "Uncle" and submit to his hegemony, murmuring how much they love Big Brother.

It'll all be over soon and Canada will go back to normal, with the opposition to Trudeau's regime now chastened and wiser, knowing that its opposition has to be toothless and ineffectual, la Lindsay Graham and John McCain's opposition to the Democrats in the States, or else Big Brother will have to punish them again.

Leftist revolutionaries always ultimately turn on one another; some of those who are thrilled that Trudeau is finally cracking down hard on those insufferable right-wingers will one day find that out.
