You know who to back by whom the media calls “toxic”

As the pandemic’s grip on society is clearly waning, governments at
various levels and locales seem to be sorting themselves into two
buckets:

    End all emergency measures and learn to live with COVID

    Cling to emergency powers and up the ante

Canada is vast country that is run primarily by left-wing liberals who
select their PMs from political dynasties in Quebec and who couldn’t
pull it off without the support of urban Toronto (the 416).

The corporate media in Canada is largely homogenous, liberal and
unabashedly globalist. To them, anything outside of Toronto or Ottawa
is “flyover country”. Anything that happens there doesn’t matter
unless it’s some issue that can wrapped within a narrative of
victimhood to shame the populace into believing their country is a
structurally racist, carbon spewing abomination.

In Canada, a pitched ideological battle between the Liberals and
Conservatives would be whether the top marginal tax rate should be 53%
(where it is now) or 45%. If things got really wild and bare knuckled,
maybe Trudeau would come out with a “double-mask” mandate and Erin
O’Toole, a third-rate non-entity who has lost two fat-pitch elections,
would say “1.5 masks!” Even then he would waffle as soon as some
polling data came out.

That’s the political spectrum in Canada, unless you count the NDPs who
are even further left than the Liberals. Federally, the NDPs are led
by a millionaire socialist.

The Libertarians here are a joke (sorry, but it’s true. I ran for the
Libertarian Party federally in 2015 so I get to say that).

Political leaders actually standing up for the civil rights of all
Canadians are few and far between: Maxime Bernier federally, running
the PPC, and here in Ontario the likes of Randy Hillier and Roman
Baber – a couple of MPPs who were jettisoned from #FordNation for
resisting the lockdowns and mandates.

When it comes to these rare political voices, and despite rising
popular support for them, the corporate media circles the wagons and
demonizes them as (what else?) racists, far-right, etc.
Out of nowhere, comes the truckers

By “nowhere” I mean any place outside of Toronto, the economic hub of
Canada where progressivist thinking is dominant and compulsory. Here
in the city, bare shelves in the grocery stores are more likely to
spark angry calls to the Amazon Prime support desk than any serious
introspection on why. There is no awareness that everything  that
magically appears on the shelves of Whole Foods, without fail, every
day, was grown, farmed, raised, slaughtered, processed and then
transported by non-cosmopolitan plebes from backwoods Canada (or US).

The #FreedomConvoy is on their way to Ottawa to protest vax passports
and lockdown tyranny because nobody else will do it.

It was the political opposition’s job, they instead supported it.

It was a mainstream media’s job to examine and question it. Instead
they propagandized it.

So it comes down to these (in the eyes of the media) backward, racist,
infantile hillbillies, to stand up for constitutionally guaranteed
human rights that most Canadians are too cowardly or sycophantic to
demand back.

Predictably, Canada’s corporate media, who received hundreds of
millions of dollars in rebates, tax credits and funding from the
federal government has come out with hostility against the truckers.

CBC, the state funded broadcaster, is even pulling out the “Russian
actors” card…

    The CBC suggests "Russian actors" are behind the
#TruckersForFreedom convoy. Seriously. #cdnpoli

And their pals in Big Tech are helping them.

On the left: a search via Google in a clean browser on Freedomconvoy,
on the right, same search via DuckDuckGo.

Click for full size

Note how the entire issue is framed by Google:

If it were up to Google (and it is, when you use them for search),
there is no popular support for #Freedomconvoy, everything above the
fold is media antagonism and hostile editorial demonizing.

Contrast with DuckDuckGo: which unassumingly pulls in excerpts from
websites involved with the convoy itself and its Wikipedia entry.

Which one is biased and trying to shoehorn you into a predetermined
narrative? Which one looks to be simply trying to pull in what the
user is actually searching for?

For awhile it also looked like the GoFundMe for the Freedom Convoy,
which has raised $7.9 million from over 21,000 donors as I write this,
was initially going to suspend it and freeze their funds. Fortunately
they backed off when they had the beginnings of a major shitstorm on
their hands. (Disclosure: I have made a donation to Freedom Convoy)

Trudeau, for his part, when not demonizing fellow Canadians as racists
and misogynists will not be on hand in Ottawa to face the truckers
(whom he called “fringe”). He’s claiming a community COVID exposure to
go into hiding….

    Last night, I learned that I have been exposed to COVID-19. My
rapid test result was negative. I am following @OttawaHealth rules and
isolating for five days. I feel fine and will be working from home.
Stay safe, everyone – and please get vaccinated.

The problem with Trudeau’s story is the Ottawa Public Health rules
clearly do not call for five day isolation for an asymptomatic
community contact accompanied by a negative test. Trudeau is basically
lying (and since fled the city….)

    JUST IN - Canada's PM Trudeau and his family have left their home
in #Ottawa for a secret location, CBC reports.

I wrote at the beginning of this month, on New Year’s Day that the
pandemic was over. It’s just a matter of how fervently the most
brainwashed and self-serving will cling to failed narratives. The
truckers are part of the resistance. I’m part of the resistance, and
you should be part of the resistance.

Hold your politicians accountable: vote every single incumbent
politician out. Anybody who held any office at any level of government
in any jurisdiction who was not vocally opposed to lockdown tyranny
has to go. Cancel all your mainstream media subscriptions. Turn off
your TV.

It’s over and it’s time for anybody and everybody who stands in the
way of full restoration of civil and human rights to be held
accountable.
