The narcissists narcissist

 

The weasel strikes again

 

The weasel announced today that he was introducing sanctions against Russia to fight tyranny and authoritarianism, Can you spell hypocrisy?

This announcement again demonstrated the elitist penchant of the weasel, Klaus would be so proud of this two faced donkey pit. He has no idea how stupid this sounds or how it demonstrates his lack of self awareness or his lack of empathy. So much for sunny ways.

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
