© The Canadian Press/Adrian WyldPrime Minister Justin Trudeau, flanked by cabinet ministers including Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, announces that the Emergencies Act will be invoked to deal with protests, in Ottawa on Feb. 14, 2022.
I wonder. If you go to the bank now to make a deposit or, for the few who are not broke after the last two years, take some money out, do you have to phone Chrystia Freeland first? Or will emailing a copy of the transaction to one of her aides do the job?
After this week's clown show — I refer, of course, to General Trudeau's introduction of the Emergencies Act — that is no longer a ridiculous question. Among the tide of follies we have been hearing from our 31 percent minority Liberal government is — I'm paraphrasing, but only slightly — that "foreign monies," particularly American monies, being donated to the Canadian truckers protest is driving a movement for the "overthrow" of the government.
And this was not just some minor concern, but an immediate threat to the stability of our nation and its very rule. So now the banks are under orders, and must be on the watch, for suspicious accounts. After all if $25 shows up from some farmer in Arkansas in support of a peaceful protest by honest, blue-collar workers, that could tip our "peace, order and good government " into the Rideau, and 154 years of our beautiful Confederation comes to a halt.
