Why Would Anyone Not Trust the Government?

 

Funny and true.

I can think of a few reasons:

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of Environment admitted in a recent Inquiry of Ministry that the WeatherCAN application collected personal information of Canadians –  including locations and email addresses of users.

“All personal information created, held or collected via this app by the department is protected under the Privacy Act,” wrote staff. 

 

Why would anyone want to know when I checked the weather?

 

 

The ends justify the means:

The information revealed this week that alleges political interference in the Nova Scotia mass shooting probe in April 2020 was initially withheld by the Department of Justice, says the public inquiry investigating the tragedy.

This is a breathtaking allegation: that the head of the RCMP promised PMO she'd get details about a mass murder weapon released for the purposes of helping them advance gun control measures. https://t.co/Da9LrK9nqu

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki “made a promise” to Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office to leverage the mass murders of April 18/19, 2020 to get a gun control law passed. 

A week after the murders, Lucki pressured RCMP in Nova Scotia to release details of the weapons used by the killer. But RCMP commanders in Nova Scotia refused to release such details, saying doing so would threaten their investigation into the murders.

The Trudeau government’s gun control objectives were spelled out in an order in council issued in May 2020, and were encapsulated in Bill C-21, which was tabled last month, but the concern in April 2020 was the extent to which politics threatened to interfere with a cross-border police investigation into how the killer managed to obtain and smuggle into Canada four illegal guns used to commit many of the 22 murders.

 

Truckers are bad and scary and made Justin run away:

In a recent CBC Radio interview defending his government’s response to the Freedom Convoy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that tow truck drivers in Ottawa required the Emergencies Act to move in on rigs within the city’s downtown core.

Ottawa police say they are aware of planned protests for Canada Day, and say they won’t allow a repeat of the ‘Freedom Convoy’ occupation that took over downtown earlier this year.

 

Bouncy castles are a bane of the gods! 

Because "transparency":

The Liberals blocked a motion calling on Ottawa to provide all documents used to justify restricting travel for Canadians during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, during Thursday’s House of Commons transport committee, NDP MP Taylor Bachrach sponsored a motion requesting “a copy of all relevant documents containing public health advice and scientific modeling received by the Minister of Transport” used to justify quarantines, masking, mandatory vaccination and other measures. 

“All of a sudden there was a decision to suspend the mandates without really an explanation of what changed,” Bachrach explained. 

“The way it’s supposed to work is the public health officials provide the advice to the government and then the government takes action. What we’re interested in is when did the public health officials first start advising the government these specific measures were no longer effective and could safely be suspended?”
