Tyranical Weasel

 


 

It would appear that if any person supports any group that the government doesn’t like and then later declares it to be involved in unlawful conduct then, retroactively, that person can be prosecuted and persecuted and the legacy media will be complicit in punishing the activity which was not unlawful when it took place.

So Great Aunt Mary sends five dollars to the Peoples Liberation Front of Saskatchewan. The feds later decide that this is a terrorist organization because it opposes urbanization of farmland and supports the freedom to farm in peace and acts upon that premise peacefully but inconveniences politicians. Then Great Aunt Mary’s savings, such as they are, are in jeopardy and can be grabbed by the government. Because Mary drove her car to give the money to the PLF then they can grab that too and sell it to fund police activity.

That’s where we are!

Because that tiny minded weasel Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act and then acted without approval of Parliament the entire country is faced with this sort of nonsense being enacted whenever to government is annoyed by any group of which it disapproves.

I note that the other child mind in Parliament, one among many, Jagmeet Singh, is supporting the government in this crass impingement on the rights of Canadians. Tommy Douglas must be rolling over in his grave. He was opposed to the invocation of the War Measures Act in the midst of actual terrorist activity on the basis of the loss of peoples rights and freedoms. I didn’t agree with Tommy on almost everything but at least he stood up for what he considered his constituency, the working people of the country.

The weasel suspended debate in Parliament on Friday into the invocation of the Act on the spurious basis that there was an ongoing police operation which was proceeding on the basis of the Act which was not yet approved. Similarly Banks proceeded with the freezing of accounts of the truckers without parliamentary approval. There may yet be court cases if approval is not granted.

Last on my list of odious politicians is the Mayor of Ottawa, one Jim Watson, who proposes to sell off the trucks seized during the police operation to reimburse the City of Ottawa’s expenses. He might have a fight on his hands over that.

Trudeau, Pere et Fil

So the weasel has decided to follow in his father's footsteps and invoke the Emergencies Act, this requires a bit of history.

The Emergencies Act (EA) was enacted in 1988 to replace the War Measures Act (WMA). There are significant differences between the two which might have escaped the notice of the weasel, one, to actually impose the EA the approval of Parliament is required and two, the Charter if Rights and Freedoms and the Bill of Rights are not abrogated.

In October of 1970 the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ)  kidnapped a Quebec politician and a British trade commissioner.In response the Quebec government declared an emergency and the federal government invoked the WMA suspending civil liberties in Quebec. The Army was called in primarily to guard federal buildings and installations. Two people died, the kidnapped Quebec politician, and a soldier who inadvertently discharged his weapon whilst disembarking from a truck.

Pierre Trudeau was the Prime Minister of Canada at the time and, although there was much debate at the time and since of the appropriateness of the response, acted definitively in response to the apprehended insurrection.

So now the weasel fil has pretended that there is a national emergency requiring federal action, it would appear that he is using the public order section of the EA.

The emergency must be a "national emergency" which means an "urgent and critical situation of a temporary nature" that either "(a) seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it, or (b) seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada and that cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada"

Further, When defining "threats to the security of Canada" the act references the definition provided in the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, which includes espionage, sabotage, detrimental foreign influences, activities which support the threat or use of violence for a political, religious or ideological objective; or those activities which threaten to undermine or otherwise destroy, or overthrow the Government of Canada. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act specifically notes that "lawful advocacy, protest or dissent" do not constitute "threats to the security of Canada". Lastly the EA specifically prohibits the federal government from taking over the jurisdiction of the local police.

I would submit that the current situation in Ottawa does not meet the requirements of the Act. Clearly the  there are other laws that can deal with the situation and there is no evidence that the provincial authority cannot deal with the problem. I note that the provincial authority has already cleared the Ambassador Bridge.

The weasel's authoritarian and elitist proclivities are on full display for all to see, with any luck people will remember when election time rolls round

Medical ethics

 There are four main principles of medical ethics,

Autonomy – the patient has the right to refuse or choose his or her treatment. This is rooted in society’s respect for individuals’ ability to make informed decisions about personal matters with freedom.

Beneficence – a practitioner should act in the best interest of the patient and family. In other words, healing is the aim of medicine.

Non-maleficence – not to be the cause of harm. Many consider this should be the primary consideration, that it is more important not to harm your patient than to do him good, which is part of the Hippocratic oath that doctors take.

Justice – concerns the fair distribution of scarce health resources, and the decision as to who gets what treatment.

Writing in TCW Guy Hatchard speaks of the situation in New Zealand pointing out that, because of their closed borders, they have had only 18,000 cases to date and 53 deaths in a population of  5 million. However, they have had, by official count, 50,000 adverse events from the "vaccines" and over 130 deaths. 

Lets examine those numbers, the case fatality rate (CFR) for the actual virus is .003, for the "vaccines" the CFR is, surprise, .003 but no medical practitioner has raised this matter and the government of New Zealand, as does ours, continues to say the "vaccines" are safe and effective.

What is safe and effective about a cure that kills people at the same rate as the disease?

There is a serious deficit in medical ethics almost everywhere. Autonomy is out the window, coercion is the flavour of the day. Maleficence abounds, harm is being done not only through the "vaccines" but through inane mask mandates and lockdowns. Beneficence is nowhere to be found, doctors bow to the demands of the government not to the needs of their patients.

The medical fraternity needs to grow a pair and say to the government - what you are doing is doing harm to our patients and needs to stop. I doubt that that will occur, but it should if doctors are living up to their oath.

Off with their heads

My news feed this morning contained this little gem.

“For at least one quarter of the country, Quebec’s plan to tax the unvaccinated doesn’t go nearly far enough. A recent opinion poll found that 37 per cent of respondents think they should be denied health-care, while 27 per cent were fine with them going to jail.”

It appears that a considerable number of my fellow Canadians are fascist nutters. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that all of these folks vote Liberal and are easily swayed by MSM BS.

For reasons that escape me many folks believe that their life is in imminent danger from the unvaccinated. They fail to notice that the “vaccinated” really aren’t, they can catch the disease and they can infect others. The only thing that the “vaccine” does is treat the symptoms, it provides no protection whatsoever from the disease.

So much for Canadians being nice, gullible perhaps but not nice, “Throw the buggers in jail!”
