Canada’s Officious Overreach

You don’t have to support protesting truckers to answer these questions as I do. Where will it stop? Is Canada still a free and democratic society? How does Canada compare with other free and democratic societies that have not found emergency powers to be necessary? My answer is that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act to clamp down on protesting truckers replicates what Hitler did for Germany in 1933. After the fire in the Reichstag (the German parliament building), Hitler secured the Enabling Act that allowed him to bypass the Weimar Constitution, which comprised laws, and checks and balances guaranteeing rights and freedoms similar to those in Canada’s Charter.
