“Trust the science!” is starting to show its totalitarian face in Canada — but citizens, slowly starting to learn the facts about the COVID crisis, are standing their ground.
Canadian commentator Mark Steyn has the story:
In Ottawa, attempts by agents provocateurs to provoke violence at the Freedom Rally have gone nowhere…
Meanwhile, the Ottawa police have begun arresting citizens trying to deliver food to the truckers. There is no basis in Canadian law for the actions these goon coppers are taking, but the attitude of their dreadful police chief is: hey, the law is whatever I say it is. So he has ordered the arrest of citizens for “mischief”. By mischief, he means bringing sustenance or heat to protesters passing the night in temperatures of twenty below…
The truckers are rallying against “vaccine mandates”, which have no justification in science: The Prime Minister, who is as vaxxed, jabbed and boostered as any mammy singer on the planet, is supposedly hors de combat because he’s down with a second dose of the Covid.
Oh, but don’t worry! To be sure, the common understanding of the word “vaccine” is that you won’t catch what you’re being vaccinated against. But what we really mean is that, if you do get it, it won’t be serious, you won’t be in the ICU, and you certainly won’t die of it.
And by “certainly” we mean, well, probably. Israel, en route to be the world’s first entirely fourth-jabbed nation, currently has a daily death toll higher than before it started giving anyone the first jab. There is no public-health justification for making liberty conditional on compliance with the developed world’s failed strategy of coerced vaccines and constant testing.

Canadians are not braver than other people but we have a prime minister who spouts hate (from wherever he is hiding) against those of us who have figured out that the government’s “Trust the Science!” strategies are not working and may be endangering more people than they help. And an opposition party too spineless to say or do anything about it. And media he has bought and paid for are amplifying every slander.
This video could be one of the most powerful statements you will ever hear from peaceful, law-abiding citizens who have had enough of the slow morph into a “science”-driven totalitarian state (happening in many places around the world). And it is not a long jaw. Just watch a bit of it and study their faces:
Freedom Convoy Leadership Update – Address to the Nation 7:00pm February 6, 2020. Ottawa Mayor declared a state of emergency. How Ottawa Police taking the convoy fuel and occupying the convoy tents does not impact the Freedom Convoy logistics.
From the comments: “Canadians: ‘Be polite when you are being arrested.’ u guys rock!” (Sure, commenter. Canada belongs to the people of Canada. And this is how free people fight back. Serfs, by contrast, destroy things and attack people because they have no stake in a free and prosperous society. – O’Leary for News)
Also: From Shawn Whateley, past president of the Ontario Medical Association, to the progressive elite: Quit slandering and start listening:
Many Canadian elites have shown an unexpected level of incompetence, in response to protest.
The prime minister chose to attack the truckers’ Freedom Convoy 2022. Listening was beneath him. He slandered instead of showing compassion. He refused to meet. Trudeau only listens to those he likes.
Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP, did the same. Many individual MPs hurled insults. The media made us dizzy with spin…
The elites may have lost the larger crowd already.
Thousands of regular people have gone to see the convoy for themselves. They find a happy celebration. They sing and dance and play soccer and hockey in the street. They wave flags and exchange high fives. People hand out free hot food on every corner.
Close family and friends return with pictures and videos of a moving, patriotic event. I now have dozens and dozens of first-hand reports from people I trust: this is not a violent protest.
Shawn Whateley, “The Only Rational Response to Truckers’ Freedom Convoy” at Epoch Times (Updated February 7, 2022)
He hopes a leader will rise up to guide us into a common sense response to COVID-19 Some of us, including O’Leary for News, sadly, don’t see Justin Trudeau growing into the role.
Update: The Jeep driver who ran down four demonstrators in Winnipeg is David Zegarac, a far left activist, active on the punk rock scene. Was he perhaps only doing what many such persons have fantasized about?
Here’s a safe crowdfunding site to hire lawyers for arrested truckers (there’ll likely be more, probably on flimsy pretexts). The elite have gone to war against the free citizen in lots of places in the world, using “science” as a bludgeon, not a tool.
Also: The good news is, you don’t have to be a Canadian to fight back: ‘Freedom Convoy’ Protests Are Spreading Throughout World as Truckers Lead the Fight Against Mandates.
Update: Candice Bergen, the interim leader of the Conservative Party, is calling for an end to the COVID crazy, something the leader who was just voted out, Erin O’Toole, could not bring himself to do:
This must happen. Wrecking kids schooling and social lives is not a way to fight COVID-19. We need to focus on protecting those at serious risk of untimely death.

and, for what’s happening in suddenly famous Canada:
What I saw at the Freedom Convoy in downtown Victoria It was all friendly; people were having a good time. There was no violence; I heard no racial epithets and saw no racial insignia. So if media tell you that it is really about white nationalism, etc., remember that the legacy Canadian media are in fact supported to stay in business by the federal government. Because few depend on them for news any more.
