Diesel Justice: Canadian Style

 

What can I say about the Canadian Truckers that hasn’t already been said?

 I’m in awe of their determination and I’m hopeful that it spreads. A friend of mine posted the phrase “Workers of the word are uniting” in reference to the truckers and their allies. By the way, everyone who loves freedom is an ally. I cringed a little at the phrase. It’s pure Marx. I always hated the idea that people are locked into an eternal struggle of revolution. Karl Marx’s goal was to see the workers all over the world rise up and throw off the slavery of capitalism.

How odd that now the working class (forgive the phrase) are now the biggest supporters of capitalism. It’s the ruling class that’s wants collectivism. Any collectivist form of government is slavery because the decisions are top down. Endless bureaucratic rules and regulations keep commerce from spreading throughout the country. Capitalism is ruthless in its efficiency but far better than one that restricts. The marketplace is where ideas either live or die.

 In Marxist countries speech is restricted, freedoms are curtailed, religion is outlawed, daily life is planned. Work has no relationship to supply and demand, money has no relationship to value. Everything is monitored from health scores to credit. The incentive system of profit that encourages risk no longer exists. We’ve been heading that way for 2 years and I’m overjoyed that Canadians finally noticed. Actually they didn’t just notice. They’ve put up with an onslaught of mask protocols, vaccine mandates and shutdowns since March of 2020.

Like most of us they’ve seen the lies pushed by their national health ministers. The vaccines are universally shit and everyone knows it. Oh sure they tell you it’s better to have than to not. But Covid is still with us and the countries with high levels of inoculation rates have some of the highest levels of death rates, like Uruguay and the Maldives. Why is such compliance needed is the vaccine is so great? Why are kids masking up when evidence shows there are hardly affected?

 Canada is in a slightly different place than the US. Their laws were more sweeping than ours. States and cities decide things like mask policies and businesses decide vaccination requirements. Even though Joe Biden tried to push national vaccine laws on everyone the courts have mostly slapped them down.

 States like Oklahoma have all but done away with their Covid policies. Large swathes of the country have tossed them out. Canada is getting crushed and you can tell by the support the truckers are having that the middle class is done with it. They have support from the tow truck companies, restaurants, farmers and countless industries. Crowd funded site GiveSendGo has raised millions for them and their families. And the best part, it's a protest with some teeth. Without trucks, commerce grinds to a halt. The blockades to the United States stop commerce between countries as well, and there is a lot of it. Canada is a major trading partner.

The trucker's demands are straightforward, give us back are freedom and we’ll leave. People who want vaccines can get them. They’ve been able to for a year now, why force everyone to do it? Trudeau and his technocrats have used up whatever good will they had in the early days, the fifteen days to flatten the curve, to get cooperation. The citizens of Canada, like in the US, have mostly complied. But it’s clear now that the globalists’ cure was worse than the disease. They’re reluctant to let go of their new found power even in the face of a defacto economic protest. This is what a protest looks like. It’s not burning and looting. It’s peaceful and it’s righteous.

People all over the world are getting a sense of what’s coming if they don’t stand up to the tyranny right now. In Europe the citizens march every week against vaccine mandates. A good number of those people have taken the shot too. For the first time in two years I feel like the anti-reset forces are winning. It might get violent. It depends on if the government cracks down and starts hauling protestors to jail. It’s an uphill battle for Trudeau. He’s lost the argument for forced vaccines and the trust of Canadians.

  Freedom isn’t free, but maybe we’ve forgotten what it actually costs. How often have we been forced to make genuine sacrifices for it? Not very often. Don’t worry, the Canadian truckers are reminding us all how sweet it is with every honk.
