Early this year, Canadian truckers rebelled against the Canadian government’s tyrannical response to the pandemic by protesting en masse — in their trucks.
The truckers objected to being forced to accept experimental non-vaccines in order to go back and forth across the Canada-U.S. border.
The Canadian government could have instantly solved the problem by rescinding the nonsensical travel ban and letting truckers truck freely.
Instead, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deployed a dormant triple-the-tyranny measure called the Emergencies Act to make the truckers regret that they had ever dared lift a pinky in protest against the assault on their lives and livelihoods. The insanity included imposing freezes on their bank accounts and suspending their vehicle insurance.
Now Trudeau’s actions are being investigated in the Canadian parliament.
And guess what’s come to light? You’ll get a kick out of this if you’re one of my United States readers: Trudeau was urged to do something about those darn truckers by none other than the Biden administration.
February 10: the director of the U.S. National Economic Council spoke to Canadian officials.
Same day: U.S. Transportation Boss Pete Buttigieg asked the Canadian Transportation Boss about Canada’s plan to cure the protests.
February 11: President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau spoke.
Don’t worry, Trudeau told Biden. He had a plan to end the protests. Somehow I doubt that Biden said “Fine, so long as it’s not about stomping the truckers even harder.”
Three days later, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act.
Correlation ain’t causation, but a schedule of influence indicates . . . almost . . . a conspiracy.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.
