Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finally did it. He did what all liberals want to do in the COVID era – use state power to crush those with whom they disagree. It's not enough to just accept people with differing opinions. They must go.
The Canadian Freedom Convoy has been going strong for days. They set up shop in Ottawa. They were on the Ambassador Bridge before police cleared them out during the Super Bowl. Trudeau simply could just roll back all the COVID mandates since no one cares about them. No one is following them. The pandemic is over. We have therapeutics. We have vaccines. It's a virus with a 99-plus percent survival rate. End the madness. Instead, he's declared war on his own people, enacting the Emergencies Act. Have no fear; the military won't be used. Yeah, one Canadian lawyer saw right through this ruse.
It's the 21st Century. State power and its abuse doesn't have to look like Tiananmen Square anymore. It doesn't have to be tanks rolling in anymore. Instead, it's a digital tank in the form of the government taking all of your stuff. Yes, the Trudeau government announced that this act allows them to seize people's assets without a warrant.
You read that right. The government can raid the working man's entire bank account if it feels you're supporting a cause it doesn't like. Chrystia Freeland, a former Reuters journalist, now the minister of finance and deputy prime minister, announced this draconian action yesterday.

The Trudeau administration is going to freeze crowdfunding institutions, cryptocurrency transactions, corporate, and personal bank accounts that support the Canadian truckers.

Canadian lawyer and YouTube vlogger David Freiheit noted that the warrantless bank seizures are worse than troops in the street.
"Don't worry, Justin Trudeau isn't 'calling in the military.' He is just authorizing banks to unilaterally freeze your accounts on the basis of suspicion alone, no court order required, with legal immunity," he wrote. "I hope everyone realizes how much more dangerous this is than the military."

As I said, this is the 21st Century. There are other means to put pressure on people. The need for mass police and military raids to neutralize opponents of the state are over. Like how social media has replaced the sniper rifle, one bad social media post can destroy a person. We no longer need bullets to assassinate leaders in this era.
Ace of Spades aptly gave a new moniker to this guy: "Justin Castreau."
As we watched our neighbors to the North devolve into fascism, it was great seeing the truckers fight for their rights. They will continue to do so, and no—it's not a band of Nazis. Credit to the independent media who—shocker—talked to these people, hundreds of them, and saw that they were a diverse group of patriots from every corner of Canadian society. White, blacks, Sikhs, women, men—you name it. They're lending their support for the end of the mandate madness that's consumed Trudeau's government. In Ottawa, they vowed not to leave until normalcy is restored. Now, not only can their rigs be towed, but the flow of monies will certainly be cut, leading to the possibility that some of these folks could freeze as their trucks run out of gas, among other things. Ontario's government tried to stem the flow of donations but failed. Now, because some people disagreed with Justin, the government hammer came crashing down.
Is this the model for the future? We already saw some of this abuse here, albeit not with the seizure of bank accounts over COVID mandates. There is a deep state that hamstrung Trump. There was a government cabal that worked from within to derail his agenda. And according to the new development in the John Durham investigation, Hillary Clinton's lawyers paid a tech firm to spy on Trump. The goal was to infiltrate the servers at Trump Tower and later the White House. That's a federal crime. Carter Page was spied on illegally based on doctored evidence presented to the FISA court. The police state is already quasi-established here. There are no tanks. There are no stormtrooper legions. It's like "War of the Worlds"—the aliens, the invaders, are already here.
The political class is vast, powerful, and deeply entrenched. They will ruin those who seek to disrupt their little world of greed and corruption. Both parties have members in this club. Both sides screw the ordinary guy in their own way. Canada can declare these outrageous acts because the people allowed them to pass silly things like the Emergencies Act. We don't have that here, but our intelligence apparatus sure acts as if one was already enacted by Congress.
The virus gave these guys a wide lane to abuse and torture us and deprive us of making a living. The new legions of the unemployed and destitute will be given a lifeline in the form of Build Back Better, right? That's the plan. More dependents. More poor people. And that means fewer people that will be able to protest and disrupt; they don't have the time.
Omicron is over. Cases are down. Mask mandates are evaporating all over due to Democrats' poor polling, but we still have three more years of Biden. He won't pull a Trudeau with bank seizures, but he'll make sure his policies of anemic economic activity will prevent us from depositing any money into our accounts.
