NDP support allows Trudeau to implement disastrous policies

Rachael Thomas (May 7) has the unenviable front-line task of watching the Trudeau Liberals introduce measures to asphyxiate the Canadian citizen’s autonomy and sovereignty. For years, academics and journalists have warned the Prime Minister’s Office is open to abuse of power. Since 2015 we’ve had an impatient, willful character up top, and he’s definitely making moves now.

He’s without the time constraints that kept previous PMs comparatively scrupulous. The NDP arrangement grants Trudeau and his handlers a three-year majority. So we get disastrous policies.

C-11 expands the CRTC to become Canada’s Internet police, and Rogers, Bell and Telus object to the requirement they track names and addresses, arguing that’s for specific criminal investigations. Bill C-18 saps independent journalism, and as in China and Russia, controls that restrict journalists expand to the population at large: Bill S-7 alters the Customs Act so border agents can extract photos, text messages and emails from Canadian travellers’ phones at will. Why such measures… well, you know why. An obsessive search for enemies is characteristic of a dictatorship.

So is corrupted process: the Emergencies Act inquiry is rigged. Trudeau’s appointed Liberal donor Paul S. Rouleau to confirm, “we made the right decisions in the right way – not just in this situation but also for the years to come where it” (yes, the Emergencies Act) “could be used again.” Trudeau wants the inquiry to be about Canadian citizens who protested – not, as required by the Act, about the decisions of his Cabinet.

The latest run of fiat dollars during global inflation dilutes purchasing power toward disempowerment. Under the affrighted Big Lie that petroleum use will turn Earth into Venus, the Trudeau Liberals weaken mobility with carbon taxes – tripling toward 2030, driving up consumption costs on everything as the loonie progressively flounders.

All from the PMO of Justin Trudeau. The EU Parliamentarians knew what they saw.

“There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it,” Lord Acton warns the “fan club” (Apr. 21). Trudeau Liberal policy constricts our lives. The vain campaign to badmouth Rachael Thomas simply proves she’s right on target.
