Your Vichy Government and You

In any other country, Justin would be hitching a ride on the nearest tarmac:

Canadians will go to the polls Sept. 20 after Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau called an early election Sunday, arguing that after 17 months of fighting a pandemic, Canadians deserve a say in how the battle will be won.

 

God willing, you will lose your family fortune and starve to death.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau yesterday called a rare September election in part to answer complaints of government overreach in pandemic management, he said. The September 20 vote was so rushed the Liberal Party last evening had yet to nominate candidates in 83 of 338 federal ridings: “The answer to tyranny is to have an election.”

 

Yes, about that, you disgusting, lying sack of sh--: 

The greatest indignity to our Parliament was Trudeau opening and operating his own private outdoor chamber, the Tent of Commons. Most of the business of the nation this year, and the outflow of billions of dollars were announced from Trudeau’s own private Westminster: a canvas tent at the bottom of the steps to his own cottage on the grounds of the (now vacant) office of the Governor General.

Trudeau had several hissy fits over Parliament this week. Far more than his usual quota. Putting the speaker in the dock was undoubtedly the climax, the apogee, the ne plus ultra, and the dear-Lord-what-is-in-that-fellow’s-yogurt? moment, of his consistent disregard amounting to disrespect of the House of Commons.

But there was a preceding moment, overshadowed by the outrage perpetrated on the speaker and his office. That was when he (Trudeau) accused the Opposition Leader (Erin O’Toole) and his party of “obstructionism and toxicity” rendering Parliament dysfunctional.

These remarks, it must be appreciated, were made, not in Parliament, but at the bottom of the steps of his cottage, where, just back from England, Trudeau remains in quarantine. Any claim that Parliament is disrespected or obstructionist comes cold and strange from the lips of a prime minister who has virtually eliminated Parliament, and eviscerated its functioning over the last year.

Parliament voted 176-155 in favour of cutting debate on a bill that would greatly expand Canada's mail-in voting system for any future election, according to Blacklock's Reporter.

More than 990,000 records documenting pandemic mismanagement were successfully concealed by cabinet. The Commons health committee confirmed an October 26 House order compelling public release of the records yesterday expired with the dissolution of Parliament: “They have refused to send those documents.”

 

(Sidebar: oh, Goebbels must see this as a Pyrrhic victory.)

Oh? Are you expecting to win?:

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra says a re-elected Liberal cabinet will draft regulations banning unvaccinated travelers from domestic flights and VIA Rail trains by October 31. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau eight months ago called mandatory vaccinations an “extreme measure.”

 

(Sidebar: but those losing non-Liberal ballots needn't have the flu shots.)

The government of Canada waged a court battle to keep information about serial sex killer Paul Bernardo and cop killer Craig Munro from the families of their victims, and a judge has agreed it can all be kept secret.

Then the government asked the families to pay their legal bill.

Oh, I would say tyranny exists in the Liberal government.
