The deputy PM/finance minister of Canada says the convoy funding campaign is being funded in large part 45% I think, by foreign actors.. CBC is reporting Russian involvement in an effort to destabilize trade and political structure, I guess( reported by lady who’s name I cant spell, sorry Giber———— apologies). CBC further reports the major manufactures in Canada are now questioning if Canada is a safe and stable economy to invest their hard earned dollars.
So what’s next, couple things
The shut down/monitoring of funding platforms. I suppose an American housewife giving a 10 USD contribution to a Canadian movement to protest global issue is a true concern to our sovereignty.
Although in all fairness I don’t know who, how much, or where from these foreign donations were coming from. Maybe we should ask the humans that make these decisions to show us the break down so we can all feel better knowing they(the government) have are backs and are really altruistic after all. At the same time maybe we could ask them to make available to the Canadian public all the money streams of foreign companies that lobby/inform government policy in Canada. I think thats already available, maybe our next fund raiser should be organized to hire people that parse the needlessly complicated government documents so we can find out who the real foreign threats are, might work.
Its important to keep the manufacturing sector feeling secure of course. I would expect the government will promote new legislation to accomplish that goal. A new law outlawing protest possibly, for our own good of course. Guarantees the government will keep supply lines open even if an asteroid hits, even if it means enacting Emergency Measures again even faster this time, for our own good of course. Oh Boy.
Possibly flying supplies to manufacturers using tax dollars that would be good. I am sure FORD and the rest would really appreciate the private runways built with tax dollars, convenient for the corporate jets.
A new method possibly whereby industry gains more power over the citizens. Lets see government guaranteeing ROI using peoples tax dollars wait, that’s an old one. Possibly the relaxation of labour laws, wait that’s another old one.
The convoy cost FORD millions of dollars due to supply chain interruptions of course that’s unacceptable. What is acceptable is the auto sector closing plants laying off workers and costing the citizens their homes, lifestyle, emotional wellbeing, futures, childrens futures, increased crime rates etc… All to save fractions of percents.
Of course the Auto sector has much more monetary influence than the citizenry, so that’s good. Oh Oh now the citizenry has crown funding, better shut that down!
matter of interest we should start using full names instead of ‘The Government” afterall its not “The Government” that set policy , enact Emergency Measures, legislate police action. Its people.
I think the rulers may notice a dropoff in productivity in all sectors. When you threaten to kill someones pets, it really is a demoralizer, eh? And when you freeze the assets, well, you have frozen the assets. Devastating for the person affected, but also devestating for the economy in general. Justin is not a jenius.
Well said, all true. I think the real end game here is to scare off future dissent by making it very clear the personal price will be so high it will be better to accept what you are given. There are several historical examples of course. Vlad the Impaler comes to mind.
You are welcome, thanks for taking the time to express your Canadian-ness. I spent so much time listening to my Dad talk to his relatives (St. Catherines area) and general Canada-jibber, that I now find it comforting. I also find GB news a bit of the same owing to the English influences in Canada....plus you had rainbow money and ours was just stupid green....and I must have gone thru the tunnel at Detroit 100 times in the plush back seat of my Daddies Cadillacs...I would lay down and count the lights as they clipped by.....and try to hold my breath the whole time....Dad would bring Briggs tobacco and Crown Royal for my Uncles, and use the blue bags to keep his fishing rods clean. Took him hours to pack the trunk, now I know why. Once my little kid self even said, as we passed through the inspector at the gate to Windsor, But Daddy, what about the tobacco and the....before my brother clamped his hand over my mouth as we pulled away.....whew.....gotta love kids, honesty is the best policy, right? Haaaahaaahhhhhhhaaaaaa
Thank God for kids honesty, I wonder what would happen if we had a bit of that in Parliament today. Imagine a world were parliamentarians just spoke without vetting their words, concerned for re election results.
My father recently passed. His passing spurred a discussion. I was talking to my sister about generational differences. Imagine this, my father was the last generation that knew how to drive a team of horses as a matter of everyday life, just a part of the daily routine.
I wonder what will be said of our generation:
did we drop the ball of democracy.
did we allow free speech to die.
are we the ones that accepted pap over news facts.
are we the ones that made media starts out of reporters.
have we surrendered to the profit motive over the morals ethic.
etc...etc...etc,,,etc...
Is that the legacy?
I understand the American truckers are organizing a convoy from California to Delaware not DC(smart). No mention on the news.
Later today I will check my bank account, wonder if its been shutdown/censored.
You seem very aware of Canadian politics. Tell your friends this is the second Trudeau to enact the War Measures Act allbeit uder a different name. The first one may have been justified.
I was thinking about Star Trek original series, have you ever seen the episode which feature the character Landru, reminds me of someone I can t name for fear the mounties will come and round me up. In the movie V for Vendetta they called that black bagging I think.
