This was excellent. I would add that the Truckers likely scared everyone -- not just Canada -- into letting go of their medical tyranny.

Sadly the protesters gained nothing for themselves and in many cases lost a lot. I know of many who are still suffering legal and financial problems.

I disagree that it was just the Senate that caused Trudeau to reverse though.

The freeze on bank accounts triggered bank withdrawals and in some cases, foreign capital fright. This seems a bigger factor.

Ya that's really hard to quantify... A lot of the Capital flight occurred in the following weeks, I know even within Canada tons of people pulled their money from the banks and even more just stopped banking with the Canadian banks and switched to credit unions.

But it was the failure in the senate that forced Trudeau to withdraw the Act before his 7 days were up... even if he wanted to reverse to stop capital flight, he'd have wanted to get Senate sign off so that way bringing in the act wouldn't just be on him but parliament and the governing elite in general. The fact that he couldn't and the second he's out of power and no longer funding Can media we'll probably get dozens of documentaries and specials, and the Cons might even put up monuments to the truckers... that's something he would have wanted to avoid.

As is his reputation is wrecked and he'll probably be entirely scapegoated as the source of division once a national Crisis happens and he's out of office and its no longer politically expedient for the left to defend him.

Not hard to quantify. Capital inflows/outflows are readily reported, but that’s not the relevant metric; what’s more important is expectation of capital flight and bank withdrawals.

That’s more difficult but can be approximated through VIX measures and bond volatility. I might do an article on this.

Great article listing the wins, but is the Canadian government still trying to persecute participants similar to what the US government has been doing to January 6 protesters? One of the other commenters mentioned some protesters paid a very steep price. What are those stories and is it still ongoing?

I am similarly curious. Has the collapse of the fascistic overreach been universal in its effect as to ceasing the harassment of Canadians?

There had been a particular blood lust in targeting Christian clergy, as I am only now learning:

https://www2.cbn.com/news/world/canadian-pastor-flees-kenya-escape-persecution-after-govt-froze-protesters-bank-accounts

As CBN News has reported, several Canadian pastors have faced persecution including jail time for peacefully protesting COVID-19 restrictions.

In June of 2021, Tim Stephens, the pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Southeast Calgary was arrested for holding church services and "flouting" pandemic health orders, despite only 951 reported COVID cases across Canada at the time. The disturbing footage was shared online showing Stephens being hauled into a police vehicle as his terrified children looked on, sobbing uncontrollably.

Pastor Tobias Tissen of Steinbach, Manitoba, was arrested in October 2021 for reportedly violating COVID-19 health orders. He spent an extra night in jail after police said he wouldn't be released unless he agreed to stop preaching in church.

And most notably, Artur Pawlowski, the pastor of Street Church and the Cave of Adullam in Calgary, Alberta, was arrested on multiple occasions by authorities for holding church worship gatherings despite the mandates.

Who are “the powers that shouldn't be”?

In the USA, some believe in a “deep state” conspiracy involving the Department of Defense, intelligence agencies, corrupt politicians, military industrial complex, Big Pharma agency capture, etc. Yet, they can’t explain how this “USA deep state” also works in synchronicity, within hundreds of countries, where there’s no DoD, FBI, CIA, HHS, etc. What has the USA deep state has to do with the deep state of Argentina, South Africa and New Zealand? There’s no money trail and no favor-returning revolving-door linking USA with any other country’s deep state, yet all governments followed the same scripted injuring COVID-response. Clockwork coordination of COVID genocidal response proved the existence of a “global deep state”, despite there is no global government!

There are no political or economic structures “formally” supporting such global governance. Then, who could run a government in the shadows without no mainstream media exposing it? Who controls global media in order to guarantee global censorship? Who has the network to pay political parties and political careers in hundreds of countries to control global politics?

In all countries, worship still had restrictions when everything else was opened in full. Liquor stores, marijuana dispensaries and Casinos were packed while churches lock-downed. Why were churches the last to recover freedom in every single lockdowned country without any exception? Is there a secret war between the city of Satan or the civilization of God?

Most people still doubt that Freemasonry was behind the scenes. Why? masonic secrecy. Why do they need secrecy to the extent of murdering those who violate it? What do they need to hide? Good deeds or crimes? Not goodness but evil needs secrecy in order to grow unchecked!

How could anybody explain that the framework for this bio-bombing was made legal through nuanced patient changes in the legislation puzzle during decades, until leaving everybody in the merciless hands of the Pharmafia/Pharmaterrorists, under the full protection of DoD legal immunity for COVID injectable bio-bombs? Which other entity other than Freemasonry could have pulled this off ?

Isn't it strange that ALL COVID injectable biobombs were abortion laced? No matter the type of vaccines (mRNA, vector, standard), no matter the manufacturing procedure, no matter the brand/multinational/government, no matter the country of origin, all COVID injectables were Satanic/abortion laced! Which organization could pervade all those barriers to achieve such level of global coordinated corruption? It’s no coincidence that Freemasons worship Lucifer as “the great architect”.

Yes and no. Charges are dropping against Canadians in emancipating waves. But it's a mixed bag, as you point out, the 'crown' is doggedly going after Christians and a few 'leaders' in particular (tamara lich, pastor pawloski, harold jonkers, the coutts four, jeremy mackensie etc) to make their point.

However, recently the supreme court ruled against the Canadian Armed Forces mandate, there have been legal wins re: forced vaccination by corproations and most importantly the tide of public opinion is changing rapidly. The goodwill for our leadership is evaporating, the 'we're in this together' slogan is nowhere to be had - I did not expect these things to happen so quickly. It is harder for the petty tyrants to get their message published. In fact it would not surprise me if the total media blackout right now across Meta & Google, has something to do with having lost the information war.

The other person gave a good reply but I think one thing he missed, it just didn’t have the support here as it did up there because the suffering wasn’t universal here.

I stopped wearing a mask in 2020, I kept one in my laptop bag but that was only for certain places like hospitals & for a client meeting if they cared. I was never asked to get the jab or show papers. Basically I wasn’t forced to do anything by anybody that had political power over me, outside of like 2 weeks in the very beginning and nobody had a problem with that.

Once we figured out it wasn’t as bad as we thought, our state/local governments lifted restrictions. Our football stadiums were filled again by fall of 21 with even the ultra liberal university admin caving.

I’m from the Southeast if you haven’t figured that out yet. The heartland of classical liberal conservatives in the US possibly globally. so you can imagine with most of us just watching the retardation playing out on TV and shaking our heads in disgust then going about our normal lives just like always, we weren’t incentivized to drive 3k miles to protest whatever BS citizens of other states had brought upon themselves. <- an element I’ve left out saying explicitly till now, but if NYC/California wants to go full retard on themselves, I don’t care.

Hope that helps you get a better mental picture of the differences, we’re a lot different than y’all politically and geographically.

9/11: two "planes", yet the third tower (WTC7) imploded like in a controlled demolition. It was out of reach and all 7 World Trade Center towers destroyed, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center... and the owner, with his 2 grown up siblings, failed to show up for work (never skipped work before)… by the way, he first took an insurance policy for the WTC against terrorism, just months before, when no one was taking them.

The best way to have a real dialogue about vaccines being weaponized to handicap, infertilize and murder the “over-population” is to start with vaccine contamination: nobody could be in favor of contaminated pharmaceuticals.

1. Carcinogen SV40 in Oral Polio Vaccine: they knew it since the 60s but kept distributing it even until 2016 !!!

2. hCG in vaccines to infertilize women detected since the 90s: still going on

3. Thimerosal, aluminum, Mono-sodium Glutamate (MSG) and other NEUROTOXINS

4. Heavy metals

5. Human DNA 2000% in excess of FDA 10 ng limit (main driver towards brain damage like autism/asperger/ticks, leukemia and non-Hodgkin cancer), probably related to point 7 below.

6. Graphene oxide in Flu and COVID shots but now with anything injectable (even dentist anesthesia, hospital IV, etc.).

7. Carcinogenic SV40 genomic sequences and double-stranded DNA in mRNA COVID shots: the hacked DNA in the cell doesn’t stop producing the poison when the cell dies, but its descent continue the poisoning until the haccinated casualty dies.

8. Bluetooth nano-routers injected with COVID vaccines and inserted with swabs (which explains why they rejected the cheaper non-invasive saliva test).

Proof of criminal intent:

Points 7 and 8

Censoring and blocking 30+ COVID cures

Labeling the most lethal batches with a lethal code (howbad.info)

Blocking the real knowledge of effectiveness v. "adverse event" rate

That proves:

A. There's zero Government control

B. There's zero Manufacturer liability

C. There's zero Media coverage

D. All that, during decades and still going on, not only with vaccines but also with medicines, food&beverage additives, etc. Everything, even institutions have been weaponized!

E. There's zero political action to stop that (except RFK2 in the USA)

Unfortunately, here in the US, the truckers as a whole still seemed to have some faith in our legislative system at the Federal level. They obeyed all traffic laws, curfews, etc, and seemed to think that getting Senator Ted Cruz aboard would actually help the cause. Ted is no different from any of the others but talks a good talk. They are all the same. It's possible that if the truckers would've focused on one state, reversing that state's mandates and the like, they would have had far more impact. Go state by state, disrupt everything! After a few states cave then the Feds start paying a little more attention.

Very very briefly......

Politics has nothing to do with any of it.

There are no pandemics, there are no contagions. That, too, has nothing to do with it, other than you can expose the fraudulent science, which has been done many times.

Natural law has always existed and when mankind decides to abide by that, and BE that, things will change.

You can't fight a paradigm. What you resist persists. You create a new one making the old one obsolete. Many are already doing that. Live outside the system. It will crumble on it's own when there is no one participating.

Grow your own food, individually and in communities. Again, leave the system. Don't waste time trying to fix what's been here for millennia.

The revolution always eats its own children, Justin.

Specifically, in “Considerations on the Nature of the Revolution in France, “A l’exemple de Saturne, la révolution dévore ses enfants” – Like Saturn, the revolution eats its children. (Mallet du Pan aptly refers to the Greek myth of a titan who ate his children upon birth to prevent them succeeding him.)

Or as another has said “Frankenstein’s monster always returns to burn the castle.” Or perhaps as George Carlin said about the stupid people who don’t get it, “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” George Carlin

The Robespierre brothers learned this, Trotsky learned this, almost ALL the people who brought Stalin to power learned this, including his NKVD (secret police) head Lavrentiy Beria, who fell out of favour, was dragged out of a meeting, a rag stuffed in his mouth, and summarily shot, Mao’s Lin Piao learned this.

I live in Ottawa, right smack dab in the middle of everything. There was some fallout for sure. A business who stayed open to serve coffee and bathroom facilities to the protesters was forced to move his business elsewhere by the whiny Trudeau government. This man proved that they were lying a bout having to shut the businesses in the first place. Nobody was looting him or harassing him.

My blind daughter went on a walk downtown in the middle of this, appeared on Viva Frei's show, and the protesters, particularly truckers and veterans, not only treated her like a queen, they brought her into a tent to give her coffee and warm blankets and they made sure she got in a taxi to safely get home. In contrast to this, my daughter, with her white cane, had guns shoved in her face by police officers. She couldn't see them. The protesters helped her get out of there safely because the brave brave police thugs they sent downtown were threatened by a small blind woman. So brave... so impressive that they protected Parliament from blind women, disabled women and old men who dared to honk a horn in their cars.

The truckers 100% inspired hundreds of thousands of Australians to descend on Canberra. (Media said there were 2,000 no way). I cried when I saw all the guys driving to Ottawa and the people on the overpasses.

Edit: look at our protest in Perth, Western Australia - we laid our fluoro shirts down on the steps of parliament, gave the government the middle finger and went home to wait.

From a certain point of view, the Canadian trucker protest echoes the Indian farmers revolt in 2020. The reasons there are different: essentially, federal government was passing laws that would force small farmers to have to rely on large agricultural conglomerates to do their farming for them, with no guarantees of maintaining their current earnings or anything.

As a reaction, farmers, first from Punjab (the main agricultural zone), and later from other states. Millions of farmers took their trucks to essentially blockade Delhi - up to 100 million, according to the organizers. Government tried to block the highways, going so far as using spike trips or pouring concrete walls on highways.

Nothing worked. Farmers and their trucks essentially occupied Delhi for the best part of one year. The government had to rollback all their plans for that, and got much more careful about further rules they had to "modernize India" (read, install a manegierial class). And it really United some states around plans for secession.
