Rights, Freedoms & Gulags
At the time the truckers descended on Ottawa, many Canadians supported jail time, punitive taxes, denial of health care & denial of drivers' licenses for the unvaxxed.
As these photos, taken in Ottawa a year ago demonstrate, protesters weren’t asking for the moon. They simply wanted their fundamental, longstanding rights to be respected.
On the left of the protest sign below we see Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms in English:
Here it’s displayed in the window of a truck in French:
Many Canadians were deeply concerned about the direction in which this country was headed. Three days before the first Freedom Convoy trucks hit the road in British Columbia, a National Post headline proclaimed: More than one in four Canadians support jail time for the unvaccinated, poll finds.
The article said 37% of Canadians agreed with denying health care to the unvaxxed. (When’s the last time pollsters asked if it’s OK to deny healthcare to drug addicts, drunk drivers, terrorists, child abusers, or rapists?)
33% of Canadians thought the unvaxxed should be prevented from renewing their drivers’ license, 61% thought the unvaxxed should pay a healthcare tax of $150 per month, and two thirds!! favoured “mandatory vaccines for everyone over the age of five.”
When asked how much sympathy they might feel for an unvaccinated person who became seriously ill or died from COVID, “27 per cent said they had none at all.”
In other words, Canadian society was becoming ugly and dangerous. Politicians, academics, and journalists talk incessantly about respect for minorities. It’s now become clear that’s just meaningless blather. The past few years have taught us that the veneer of civilization is exceedingly thin. Most of our fellow citizens have no respect whatsoever for individual choice or medical autonomy. The harshness with which large numbers of people are prepared to punish those with whom they disagree is breathtaking.
Which means that, rather than being an exaggeration, the message on this sign is bang on:
What we saw when we looked into the eyes of our fellow humans last winter, to see and hear the harsh unfeeling cruelty, this has changed me forever. I believe that the slang today would describe our experience as traumatic. It is as if we experienced an introduction to war while our family and neighbours were at cafes and libraries feeling smug and righteous. And for what? It seems clear that mandatory vaccination and exclusion is the first step in eradicating free will and individual rights so that the 'big thinkers' can save the earth from Global Warming. It feels pretty damn organized. We lost a huge section of our savings surviving losing our main income and paying an exorbitant amount for a used car and sending money to our young kids who cannot afford to live a normal life even when working full time. Farmers are being crushed so that we will only be able to buy from the gov't approved stores. Digital IDs are being pushed through. Bill C11 passes with not a word from our
national media'. It is just so incredibly outrageous that so many people are accepting these moves towards totalitarianism. But on a bright note, on the anniversary of the Truck Convoy, we stood on the same overpass that we stood on last year and waved our Canadian flags and my heart burst with hope when the majority of the cars passing under waved and honked!
SUPER WOW DONNA - I think you hit it out of the park today with this one. One of the most thought provoking messages I seen since this plandemic was launched onto society! This should be mandatory reading by every Canadian old enough and mature enough to understand the written word! That point you made about no one ever demanding refusing health care to murderers or child abusers but to not allow for an unvaxxed Granny - had never entered my mind ( at least to the point of having the meaning to really sank into my brain even though I did read about the demand back then)! - - - As a person of 78 years of age who made 798 whole blood (since 1967) and plasma (as soon as they got started), and one of the first to register for bone marrow donations - I want to make each and every Canadian understand that the mandates have ALL BEEN DROPPED - that is a LIE!!! - unvaxxed persons who need a life saving organ (a single / 1) is denied but the health system is more than willing and still pushing for ALL Canadians to donate their ALL their organs that these hospital and he as lath professionals are more than eager and willing to extract from us unvaxxed !!! Well for this donor veteran we have n - I
