government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
Apparently, Canadians enjoy such a form of government. If so, that's news to the 20 indigenous bands whose elected chiefs signed agreements to help build the Coastal GasLink pipeline. The bands voted to choose their representatives. The Chiefs voted for a huge project that would provide opportunity, revenue, and good paying jobs to their communities. Business would flourish. Taxes would flow. Win-win-win. A perfect example of government by the people. Textbook democracy.
Demockracy:
government over the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the government and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under an ideologically corrupt electoral system.
The Trudeau Liberals, however, pipeline and prosperity haters that they are, had a problem. How could they shut down the pipeline and not look like they were intentionally harming indigenous peoples who voted for it? They found the solution in the unelected Wet'suwet'en Hereditary "chiefs", a few of whom objected to the project. The Liberals, with plenty of support from the media, chose the unelected chiefs to speak for the bands, essentially rendering the band member's vote and the Chief's decisions meaningless. Textbook demockracy.
"Experts" own your vote.
The Wet'suwet'en Hereditary chiefs did not usurp the band member's votes themselves, they were simply a proxy for the real vote stealer, climate "experts" whose model predictions, like the COVID-19 predictions, have failed to materialize. Our big mistake is believing the models are meant to reflect reality. They aren't, they are purposely designed to generate existential threats. The "experts" then say, "we're all going to die unless we do something drastic". The government, well, their hands are tied. Who are they to defy the "experts"? They don't really want to implement policy that transfers wealth and freedom from the people to the rulers, they're forced to in order to save lives.
It's a beautiful scam that allows government to assume absolute power while delegating responsibility to the "experts" whose opinion now matters more than our votes. It is a much more elegant path to power than gulags or firing squads. Demockracy is a sophisticated form of oppression. A kinder, gentler tyranny.
Political ideology is irrelevant. Both progressive and conservative governments bowed to the "expert's" demands to shut down our economies and lockdown the people. None questioned the accuracy of the models. None dared defy the new overlords, the "expert" class who keep getting everything wrong but still keep their exalted status. How does that work?
The media choose the "experts"
Think about it. What expert comes to mind when you think about climate change? The IPCC? Greta? The WWF, perhaps? How is it that a trace gas that comprises a mere .04% of the atmosphere, a substance we exhale with each breath, a component necessary for life on earth, can become a toxic climate killer with a greater climatic impact than the sun? Was there a debate? No. The media decided there was a crisis and they determine who is and isn't a climate expert. If you agree with the consensus you are worthy, if you don't, you're a climate denier regardless of your PHD and 30 years working and teaching in the field.
The climate models predicted the end of polar ice and a burning planet. They were proven wrong years ago, and are still wrong, but the climate "experts" who agree, the all-powerful consensus, are still relied upon by our governments to shape climate policy. Consensus and science are mutually exclusive terms. A consensus has zero scientific value, none. However, it provides the "expert" opinion favoured by demockracies so it's here to stay.
The COVID modellers are already proven wrong but their expertise is still shaping policy. The truth that COVID-19 is a bad flu that targets the elderly is coming out. Even the CDC admits it has a remarkably low death rate.
What would be really nice is if leaders like Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Kenney looked at the new CDC numbers and asked themselves, hey, what are we doing here? It's ludicrous to close schools, playgrounds, and parks. It's unnecessary to shut down business. Social distancing and masks are pointless. We are ending COVID policing, a policy doing grave damage to the relationship between society and authority, and we are opening up immediately.
It would be even better if they asked the media why news feeds remain filled with concerns about society re-opening, fears about a second wave, worry about people violating social distancing, the need for testing, vaccines, and contact tracing? Why don't they throw the declining death rate in the media's face and ask why they insist Canadians suffer further harm?
Our leader's inability or unwillingness to step up is disconcerting. Their continued reliance on "experts" who are nothing of the sort and their whimpering acquiescence to a media who divorced the truth long ago is pushing people to the brink.

Taking Freedom Back
We the people are beginning to understand that if we want to live in freedom, we'll have to step outside our comfort zone and demand it. The growing protests are a start, but they won't change the flawed infrastructure of our demockracy.
Fledging groups like "Unify The People" are forming with the goal of declaring provincial independence and sovereignty. They are regular people tired of demockratic tyranny. The battle is on.
Calgarian Donna Ferolie has filed suit against the Federal government claiming that Frederick Haultain never signed Alberta into Confederation. Jason Kenney says he wants a fair deal and if Donna is right, he has all the leverage he needs to create a new, fair Canadian Confederation that respects the rights and freedoms of the people. Mr. Kenney, make Canada a democracy again.
