Justin Trudeau s Liberal Tyranny – WSJ

The vote captured the left-liberal pas de deux that has led to abuse of emergency powers. Ottawa s police chief was a progressive and, as progressives do, he let protesters violate the law with impunity for weeks. This exasperated Canadians who wanted order and commerce restored. The Liberals blamed foreign interference and lambasted the truckers along trendy American lines as racists and insurrectionists. Then Mr. Trudeau stepped in to curtail the rights of political enemies.

In December 2020 Mr. Trudeau chided India for its police response to farmers blockades of Delhi. Let me remind you, he said, Canada will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest. Mr. Trudeau prattles on about rights half a world away but won t respect them half a block from Parliament.

Canada s government is obliged by law to hold a public inquiry on the state of emergency. The courts could also rule against Mr. Trudeau, throwing into question convictions against truckers and leaving Canadians to wonder what the Prime Minister could have been thinking. Mr. Trudeau may then find there is a real emergency to the survival of his government.

Trudeau is such an evil weenie. The problem I worry about is that his brand of tyranny might spread south, like the political mind-virus it is. Plenty of Americans don’t even see the problem with what he is doing.
