…After nearly a month of peaceful civil disobedience in Canada, the festive atmosphere transformed from Christmas to Krystallnacht as fascism lashed back.

Instead of listening to the concerns of its citizens, the Canadian government and its colluders:

• banned honking;
• brutally arrested those who violated this injunction;
• illegally stole GoFundMe donations;
• froze GiveSendGo donations;
• shut down the Freedom Convoy Facebook page;
• seized fuel and then returned it contaminated;
• tried to entrap protesters with agent provocateurs;
• attempted to set fire to an apartment building (foiled by the truckers and later confirmed to be a hoax);
• declared a “state of emergency” and invoked the Emergencies Act without meeting the necessary threshold, setting the stage for future violations of Canadians’ inalienable rights;
• rifle-whipped protesters;
• mowed down and tear-gassed protestors;
• trampled an elderly disabled Mohawk woman just after she’d said they were doing this so their children and grandchildren could have “peace and love and happiness”;
• said “time for the protesters to hear our jackboots on the ground” and called the horse trampling video “awesome!!!” in a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) group chat;
• clubbed and tear-gassed reporter Alexa Lavoie in the face;
• staged an arrest;
• beat and faux-arrested demonstrators;
• froze and seized donor bank accounts and crypto wallets (although the latter has proven more challenging);
• threatened to “actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges” in the coming months; and
• laid the asphalt for digital IDs and a future surveillance state where similar outbursts of freedom become impossible….
