A Most Unserious Nation: The Unlawful Truth About Canada

@DavidJPba Listening to Canadians defend a genocidal communist regime, as a “good ally”, because Americans said mean words about us, is peak Canada. A people whose only identity is feeling smugly superior to Americans, which is of course, a complete delusion.”

“Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful but they're not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements.” Donald Trump to WEF

If there’s anything Canada learned from its ten-year dance with Justin Trudeau is that, as bad as things were, he could always make them worse. His inept handling of the indigenous file destroyed relations with tribes and now has homeowners fearing for title on their properties. His authoritarian embrace of the climate hustle set competing parts of the country at each other’s throats.

But nothing compares to the utter depravity of his Covid orthodoxy imposed upon a frightened nation. Take your pick from the Trudeau/ Liberal abominations inflicted on the country. Total lockdowns. Mandatory masking. Quarantine hotels. Arresting people of faith for holding services while liquor stores and big box outlets stayed open. 

But nothing surrounding Covid demonstrated the caudillo arrogance of the trust-fund fool better than his imposition of mandatory vaccination for the entire population. Supported by a hysterical press pushing fake positives, Trudeau’s command was, Take the experimental juice or you’ll kill grandmothers. Or be denied health care. Or be refused re-entry into the country.

In the face of this arrogance came the noisy Truckers who invaded Ottawa with their rowdy-but-peaceful protest and their Bouncy Castles. We won’t re-hash the entire sequence of events that led to Trudeau’s government imposing the Emergency Measures Act— except to say he and his lapdog media friends painted the protesters as neo-Nazis or worse for hinking their horns too loudly.

The house organ CBC suggested that the Convoy might be a Putin project. (It wasn’t.) Mainstream media flacks asserted that funding from shadowy right-wing Americans was funding the noisy disruption to life in the capital (It wasn’t). They also accused truckers of setting fires, threatening women and trying to overthrow Parliament. (All untrue.)

In a shameless session of Parliament on February 14, 2022, 158 Liberals— joined by 25 NDP, 1 Green and 1 Independent— imposed the Emergency Act on Canada. This encouraged Trudeau to send mounted police after the protesters, his government to seize the bank accounts and funds of the truckers and to jail the leaders of the movement on “nuisance” charges. 

All this done by a PM who quavered behind his security, unwilling or unable to meet the Truckers to hear their grievances. Even as international voices decried his high-handed emulation of his father Pierre, the Dauphin stuck to his decision to arrest his opponents, steal their finances and jail their leaders. Why not? The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Richard Wagner, publicly called protestors anarchists and hostage takers.

Now with Trudeau dating Katy Perry and his successor Carney linking arms with China, Qatar and the globalist authoritarians at Davos, the Federal Court of Appeals has confirmed that the invocation of the Emergencies Act was unlawful, that statutory thresholds were not met, and that fundamental Charter rights including freedom of expression, protection against unreasonable search and seizure, were violated. 

It also held that the freezing of Canadians’ bank accounts was unlawful and occurred without the constitutional safeguards required in a free and democratic society. (The current Prime Minister, then a private citizen, concurred that Canadians’ bank accounts should be frozen.) This is now the second Canadian court to reach the same conclusion.

Hard to get slapped down harder than that. But will the architects of the Liberal/ NDP “unlawful” Act be made to account? Should the seven current cabinet ministers (Dominic LeBlanc, Mélanie Joly, François-Philippe Champagne, Anita Anand, Patty Hajdu, Marc Miller, Sean Fraser) who lied and bullied the vote be forced to resign? Does the Chief Justice— who has financially supported the current PM— withdraw or at least apologize for pre-judging? 

Please, this is Canada in 2026. Where the ruling elite is obsessed with Donald Trump insulting their vanity. Here’s the Toronto Star blaming the financial failure of re-named Dundas Square on POTUS 47. “Sankofa Square lost a lot of money last year due to protests and Donald Trump. Can the downtown Toronto landmark turn the corner this year?” (No proof of the Trump claim is provided.)

In the face of such triviality the aforementioned Little Banker continues his campaign to align Canada with China and the globalists of the EU. Announcing himself as the saviour of the West, a grinning PM hobnobbed with the Chinese as if they were the 4-H Club. Says former hostage and Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig: ”Diplomacy is necessary, grinning is optional and looking like a supplicant is undignified… That’s not a good look."

But the chattering class says it’s no big whoop. “@LMartinOtt We've always traded with China which is our second biggest trading partner. Now that Trump is cutting back on our U.S. market, we'll trade a little more with China. Hardly a shocking move.” And this CBC panel of blue-check hacks says America’s human rights abuses are somehow comparable to China’s. Ho-hum.

(For those inclined to buy Carney’s quick-change to China on trade: “@JoelleAdler USA is 80% of our trade and it is a NET SURPLUS FOR CANADA, helping our economy. (100B surplus 2025) CHINA is 7% of our trade and it runs a MASSIVE deficit It Will take 25 yrs to replace USA.”)

Having placed America’s sworn enemy at its northern border, Carney’s cabinet reneged on its pledge to NATO allies to spend two percent of GDP on military preparedness by December 31. @NationalDefence had no public comment and would not release its internal estimate of military spending under Access To Information.

Former CIA chief Mike Pompeo is blunt. “Mark Carney's decision to pivot toward China is a grave strategic and moral error. Beware any leader who would sell out his country for a mess of pottage.” Trump's Transport Secretary Sean Duffy condemns letting Chinese EVs into the country. "They will live to regret the day they let the Chinese Communist Party flood the market with their EVs,”

Security expert Dennis Molinaro is also unequivocal about doing deals with China. “@Dennismolin11 It was hostage diplomacy, and not a novel tactic. The mistake was believing trade could ever be separated from security consequences with China.”

The Hogue inquiry into Chinese interference confirmed Trudeau's office was warned about leaks of intelligence to China, but did nothing. Now CSIS and Five Eyes partners withhold details from Canadian officials due to fears of leaks. (Trudeau, meanwhile, is sashaying around Davos with his squeeze.)

As former Liberal Justice minister (fired by Justin) Jody Wilson Reynold observes, “It is something to turn on the news & watch my former Cabinet colleagues say & do the exact opposite of what they claimed to be committed to when I was there. Total lack of principles & backbone. No wonder there is so much cynicism & contempt for our political leaders.”

But Carney’s still grinning. He knows the Laurentian Elbows Up crew has an inexhaustible appetite for abuse and kow-towing to authority. Till that is drained expect more of the same— and a nasty turf war with Trump over China at his border wearing Canadian clothes.
