In both Canada and the U.S., anti-System sentiment is unmistakably rising among the very people the System depends on. In the ongoing Canadian trucker protest, the Left’s hysterical ( [link removed] ) reaction shows that it is not just neurotic ( [link removed] ) but also totalitarian ( [link removed] ) [ Canada Live Updates: Ending Protest Requires More Police, Ottawa Chief Says ( [link removed] ) , New York Times, February 7, 2022]. In the U.S., there are open shows of contempt by U.S. Border Patrol agents aimed at their own superiors. The future of the English-speaking world may depend on what actual workers and frontline military and law enforcement decide to do when they are given unjust orders from corrupt and hostile Regimes.

The trucker strike in Canada is remarkable not just because of the courage showed by the individual truckers, but because of the massive hatred directed against them by the Regime and its media in Canada and the U.S. Perhaps the most sympathetic voice in the U.S. mainstream was Canadian journalist Jonathan Kay in the Washington Post and even he felt obliged to triangulate against the protest, dismissing it as a “stunt.” Nonetheless, he correctly noted how utterly unrepresented these people are in an ostensibly democratic country:

What’s worse (from a conservative’s point of view), the situation in Canada is fundamentally asymmetrical : While conservative populist sentiment is largely taboo within Canadian institutional politics and mainstream media, radicalized liberal dogmas are not only tolerated but performatively embraced[ Canada’s truck convoy is just a stunt in a country where populism is still taboo ( [link removed] ) , February 7, 2022]

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ( [link removed] ) illustrated this when he bizarrely ( [link removed] ) alluded to his own support for Black Lives Matter protests while denouncing the truckers in extreme terms [ Freedom Convoy: Trudeau calls trucker protest an ‘insult to truth ( [link removed] ) ,’ BBC, February 1, 2022].

As Kay put it:

In recent years especially, Canadians have been greeted by the spectacle of Trudeau, a serial blackface enthusiast ( [link removed] ) in days of yore, taking a knee ( [link removed] ) to Black Lives Matter and denouncing his own country as a genocide state ( [link removed] ) … And in 2020, when a mob tore down ( [link removed] ) a statue of Canada’s first prime minister, Trudeau and other Canadian liberal leaders stared silently at their feet, a fact not lost on the truckers now being excoriated for every stray act of rudeness in Ottawa. You don’t have to be a trucker, or even a vaccine mandate opponent, to see this double standard as hypocritical [links in original].

Of course, patriots in America who assumed the rules had changed following 2020’s massive BLM protests ( [link removed] ) learned that law enforcement can be suddenly draconian ( [link removed] ) when the wrong side takes to the streets. Now Canadians are getting the same lesson. Truckers aren’t just being denounced by the Prime Minister, but even compared to revolutionaries by the Leftist NDP party and its leader Jagmeet Singh ( [link removed] ) , the child ( [link removed] ) of Sikh immigrants ( [link removed] ) [ Canada’s NDP leaders says trucker convoy aims to ‘overthrow’ gov’t ( [link removed] ) , Al Jazeera, February 7, 2022]. While Trudeau has ruled out using the military against the truckers, he has also dismissed negotiations and said the standoff “has to stop” [ ‘It has to stop’: Trudeau accuses protesters of blockading ‘democracy’ during Commons debate ( [link removed] ) , by Nick Boisvert and Peter Zimonjic, CBC, February 7, 2022].
