Meanwhile, the Ottawa police have begun arresting citizens trying to deliver food to the truckers. There is no basis in Canadian law for the actions these goon coppers are taking, but the attitude of their dreadful police chief is: hey, the law is whatever I say it is. So he has ordered the arrest of citizens for "mischief". By mischief, he means bringing sustenance or heat to protesters passing the night in temperatures of twenty below.
Many parts of the western world are in a very dark place right now, but none more so than Canada. Its unseen prime minister, who came into office promising "sunny ways", can no longer appear in public and sweepingly, tweetingly declares that he doesn't need to because the sort of chaps you run into out there are rubes who don't even know they're Islamophobes, transphobes, thisaphobes, thataphobes, too dumb even to be aware they're working for Putin.
As Tucker and I used to joke five years back, across the developed world the elite rise up against the masses: it's like an anti-1848, prefiguring the post-democratic era that the 2020s will usher in. The present showdown between the Bollywood Bridesmaid and the truckers who deliver his quinoa has made it about as explicit as you can get. The good humour in the face of elite contempt is impressive. Here are a couple of typical "angry" "hate-filled" "white supremacists":

Who are the real "Sunny Ways" guys? A serial blackface fetishist is calling the masses racist and the court eunuchs of Canada's state-funded media dutifully tag along.
The truckers are rallying against "vaccine mandates", which have no justification in science: The Prime Minister, who is as vaxxed, jabbed and boostered as any mammy singer on the planet, is supposedly hors de combat because he's down with a second dose of the Covid.
Oh, but don't worry! To be sure, the common understanding of the word "vaccine" is that you won't catch what you're being vaccinated against. But what we really mean is that, if you do get it, it won't be serious, you won't be in the ICU, and you certainly won't die of it.
And by "certainly" we mean, well, probably. Israel, en route to be the world's first entirely fourth-jabbed nation, currently has a daily death toll higher than before it started giving anyone the first jab. There is no public-health justification for making liberty conditional on compliance with the developed world's failed strategy of coerced vaccines and constant testing.
~Can Covidstan be made to go away? Not without huge sustained mass protests. Danielle Kubes writes:
Three COVID tests in ten days was not enough for the border agent at Pearson airport last week who put a pink sticker on my passport, randomly selecting me for mandatory arrival testing.
So that would be four tests in ten days. Whatever it takes to keep us "safe", right? Who conducts these tests at the airport? A company called Switch Health:
Switch Health is certainly winning. This Toronto-based start-up, which had only five employees in 2020, won a contract with the federal government worth over $440 million.
Ah. So the tests are now just a racket, like "green energy" and the military-industrial complex and so much else in end-stage western civilisation.
