If We Had a Real President,
Here’s How He (or She) Would React to Trudeau’s War on Canadians’ Freedom
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invoked the Emergency Powers Act against the Freedom Convoy, and as PJM’s Paula Bolyard noted, “Among other things, the Canadian government will freeze the assets of truck owners participating in the protests and cancel their insurance policies.” Since the protests have not been violent, as Trudeau claimed, his action amounts to a clampdown on political dissent itself and a serious strike at the very possibility of standing up to a tyrannical government.
If we had a President of the United States right now who was worthy of the name, he (or she — yes, it could be Tulsi Gabbard) would regard Trudeau’s action as far worse than anything Putin is planning regarding Ukraine, and would take a strong stand in defense of freedom.

This fictional president would remind Trudeau that the entire Anglo-American political tradition going back to the Magna Carta in 1215 has been a trajectory of the recognition of the rights of the individual, as well as limitations on the powers of government as a guard against tyrannical rulers making questionable use of vaguely worded laws in order to crush their opponents and preserve themselves in power. He would scold the Canadian for trampling upon that tradition and quote some ringing words from Ronald Reagan or Alexander Solzhenitsyn about how tyranny crushes the human spirit and must be resisted.

But of course, we do not have a president who will say any of these things, or even anything close to them. Instead, we have a president who almost certainly sympathizes with Trudeau’s tyrannical action, and if he says anything about it at all, it will be supportive. Americans can be grateful that we do not have an Emergency Powers Act in the United States, although the Democrats have certainly found other ways to limit Americans’ freedoms. If we did have such an act, Old Joe would certainly emulate Trudeau and invoke it.
Commentary:
This is just the way I see it. Just my personal opinion.
Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Maoism is never a system of freedom or free enterprise. It is dictatorial. And fascism is just as much a form of government as Maoist Communism.
PMS/DSA Maoism in all its myriad forms gives too much power to government, to the state, at the expense of the individual person's freedom.
If we had a legitimate president, which we don’t.
Biden would not back what Trudeau is doing. Regrettably Trudeau is treating Canadians exactly the way Joe is dictating to the citizens of the USA. Interesting that there is such a concerted effort to remove everyone’s freedoms.
Even uttering or shouting the word FREEDOM has become a word linked to sedition in the Leftist lexicon. Seems to be parts and pieces of a greater plan. We need to vote, in Canada and the US to remove all of these far-left tyrants.
