Past Time For PM Trudeau To Give Canadians Their Country Back

The photo of mask-wearing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford announcing their $10-A-Day Child Care For Families initiative is a painful reminder that we are now living in a Post-Canada world. Masked, Canada’s two most powerful politicians are walking advertisements for Big Pharma. Mask Mandates in Ontario were dropped earlier this month, after two years, but there is confusion among the masses when Trudeau and Ford can still be seen still wearing masks. It became a Post-Canada world when Trudeau handed Canada and all of its resources over to Klaus Schwab of Great Reset infamy.

The True North ‘Land of the Maple Leaf’ was no more after 155 years of peace and sovereignty. There is no getting around the fact that all of this happened in the aftermath of the Truckers’ Freedom Convoy that won worldwide admiration for Canada. The dramatic changes that followed can only be described as brutal, as it seems that Trudeau’s main priority is doing in the truckers, who committed the unforgivable crime of stealing his show. Convoy leader Tamara Lich was jailed without bail. Truckers lost their licences, their insurance and their ability to provide for their families. Some 200 people, including trucker supporters, had their bank accounts seized by the government. Changes in citizen lives were sudden, dramatic, and most painful of all—significantly life-changing. Thousands of people in Ontario, where roughly half the county’s population were kept in lockdown for two years, are fleeing their home province, hoping to escape Trudeau’s wrath, elsewhere. But the new reality is that Canadians have been left without a country.

All hope for relief died when Trudeau formed a coalition with the socialist New Democrat Party (NDP) that will remain in place until at least 2025. What Trudeau is doing to this country reminds me of a heartbreaking chapter of Canada’s past when 14,100 Acadians were thrown out of Nova Scotia, some separated from their families, never to see them again. In total, 5,000 died of disease, starvation or shipwrecks. “Soldiers rounding up terrified civilians, expelling them from their land, burning their homes and crops ‒ it sounds like a 20th century nightmare in one of the world's trouble spots, but it describes a scene from Canada's early history, the Deportation of the Acadians.(Canadian Encyclopedia) “The Acadians grew independent minded. With their friends and allies the Mi' kmaq, they felt secure, even when sovereignty over their land passed to Britain after 1713 (see Treaty of Utrecht).

“In 1730 the British authorities persuaded the Acadians to swear, if not allegiance, at least neutrality in any conflict between Britain and France. But over the years the position of the Acadians in Nova Scotia became more and more precarious. France raised the stakes by building the great fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island. In 1749 the English countered this threat by establishing a naval base at Halifax. In 1751 the French built Fort Beauséjour on the Isthmus of Chignecto and the English responded with Fort Lawrence, a stone's throw away.

“While previous British governors had been conciliatory towards the Acadians, Governor Charles Lawrence was prepared to take drastic action. He saw the Acadian question as a strictly military matter. After Fort Beauséjour fell to the English forces in June 1755, Lawrence noted that there were some 270 Acadian militia among the fort's inhabitants ‒ so much for their professed neutrality. “In meetings with Acadians in July 1755 in Halifax, Lawrence pressed the delegates to take an unqualified oath of allegiance to Britain. When they refused, he imprisoned them and gave the fateful order for deportation. “Lawrence had strong support in his Council from recent immigrants from New England, who coveted Acadian lands. Traders from Boston frequently expressed wonder that an "alien" people were allowed to possess such fine lands in a British colony. On Friday, September 5, 1755 Colonel John Winslow ordered that all males aged 10 years and up in the area were to gather in the Grand-Pré Church for an important message from His Excellency, Charles Lawrence, the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia. The decree that was read to the assembled and stated in part: "That your Land & Tennements, Cattle of all Kinds and Livestocks of all Sorts are forfeited to the Crown with all other your effects Savings your money and Household Goods, and you yourselves to be removed from this Province.”

As a schoolgirl, I was once sent to the principal’s office when I followed a Catholic nun teacher’s impassioned History lesson about the British separating families when they deported the Acadians, knowing abut them from my maternal relatives, with these words about the British: “Those bastids!”

What the British did to the Acadians was both tragic and wrong, still talked about in households centuries after it happened. Who would ever have thought that centuries later, Canada would have a prime minister who would willingly give our country away? Mr. Trudeau, it’s time to stop fighting your own people. The truckers and their supporters have already paid a big price. Meanwhile, all those fleeing the wrath of Trudeau and Ford: They’re not leaving their country, because their country left them. As the lyrics of ‘Me and Bobby McGee’ so hauntingly remind us:

“Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose” “Nothin', don't mean nothin’, hon' if it ain't free”.

FACT: it was Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who took our country away from us—and only he who can give it back.
