(LifeSiteNews) — It may come as a surprise to international readers, but Canada was not always the brunt of jokes about being a veritable socialist hellhole. In my 34 years of life, I distinctly remember many times when I could easily have said to myself that Canada was one of the best places in the world to live.
I should add that quality of life is still quite high in Canada, megalomaniac socialist nut-jobs aside. However, it cannot be denied that Canada in recent years has done its best to go full-CCP under Justin Trudeau.
Presently, Canada and many international observers are watching the Emergencies Act inquiry coverage closely. While it is not clear what will result from the investigation, it is clear that there was in no way any justification to apply such intense juridical pressure against the peaceful convoy movement.
The application of the Emergencies Act was a national farce, and even the mainstream media has started to realize it, which is telling. It is undeniable that all legal avenues were not employed before unleashing the war-time measures for the bouncy-castle protest. The protest organizers were even in the midst of signing a deal with the feds wherein they agreed to move the trucks out of downtown and would continue negotiating in a different way. Trudeau’s cabinet ignored this and proceeded with legislation reserved for terrorism and violent treason.
Why did Trudeau invoke the Emergencies Act?
The question must be asked: Why did Trudeau and his cronies do this?
Sure, it is easy to call him a communist – insert Castro joke here – and it is easy to point to the influence of the globalist hacks at the World Economic Forum. We can lament the woke religion that has enwrapped Parliament and virtually all our institutions, and there is much more on all of that to be said.
At root, however, we find the crux of the matter, the fundamental issue: the powers that be long ago embraced an ideology of self-hatred, and the result has been a self-mutilating masochism that has encroached into the consciousness of the nation.
This means that Canada has in essence come to hate itself and all it stood for throughout its long history, which has resulted in a Canada divided against Canada.
Thus, we see the institutions of the nation crumbling before our very eyes, police chiefs whining about “violence” that is nothing more than “bad vibes” and lunatics prattling on about how patriotic truckers were evil anti-vaxxers who caused “phantom honking” syndrome.
“So the violence that they felt, not actual violence, is that what you’re saying?” asks lawyer Brendan Miller.
“That is correct.”

A House Divided
In the twelfth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew we arrive at the famous scene where the Pharisees accuse Christ of being under the dominion of Satan for his ability to cast out devils.
Think of the parallel: the legalists (lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats?) of the day are saying that the Just Man is acting unjustly by saving souls.
Similarly, the legalistic leftist demoniacs who hate the truckers with all their hearts act as if the truckers were magically on the wrong side of the moral arc of justice for protesting an unjust jab mandate that hadn’t existed until two weeks before the protest began – almost two years after they had been trucking goods to and fro without the vax and with impunity.
You see, legalists cannot see that there is a spirit to a law as well as a letter, and that without the spirit the letter only brings confusion and moral decay.
Christ made this very clear to the Pharisees at times in the Gospel, and in that moment when they accused Him of being an agent of Satan, He replied: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand…” (Matthew 12:25).
On a practical level, to set aside the spiritual for a moment, legalism breeds confusion and resentment and a false sense of morality. It is this spirit of legalism that has enwrapped the hearts of many Canadians in recent years, and it is why they were so susceptible to the madness of the COVID regime.

The Quebec College of Physicians believes Canada’s assisted suicide program, Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), can and should be used on infants born with ‘severe malformations’.
This is nothing short of infanticide.
In a recent press release, Dr. Louis Roy from the Quebec College of Physicians claimed that MAiD could be appropriate for babies born with ‘grave and severe syndromes’ for which their ‘prospective of survival is null, so to speak.’
No matter how you spin it, an infant cannot consent to their own death – to decide for them and give a lethal dose is murder.
Sign now to tell the Quebec College of Physicians they cannot issue death sentences to infants with illnesses!
Once the door to killing without consent is opened, the number of people who become eligible to be murdered increases exponentially. Providing MAiD to a person who cannot consent is a standard that is wildly dangerous for all persons with intellectual disabilities in Canada.
Canada cannot begin killing babies when doctors predict that they will not have a good quality of life. Predictions are often based on discriminatory assumptions about life with a disability. Many people diagnosed with disabilities as babies who were expected to not have a good quality of life are now grown adults leading thriving lives.
Providing MAiD for terminally ill newborns is murder! This is a slippery slope towards ending the lives of millions of people either born with or diagnosed with intellectual disabilities.
The Quebec College of Physicians MUST back down from infanticide — SIGN NOW and make them know that you flatly condemn this horrifying practice!

Unjust laws are not laws
There is a natural law maxim that an unjust law is no law, and it has been repeated and expounded upon by great theologians and philosophers for millennia.
A simple example suffices to explain. It is not just for a police officer to ticket a man for speeding when he drives fast to bring a sick child or pregnant wife to the hospital. In fact, it would be just for the officer to turn on his lights and escort the man even faster.
This is because the law of a society exists to serve that society, not hinder it. This is why we know that the mandate for truckers was immoral and unjust, and therefore no law at all. Estimates say that 90 per cent of truckers were voluntarily jabbed (well, as voluntarily as can be in a society that segregates by vaccination status). In addition, truckers present little to no risk to spread any disease at all, as they spend the vast majority of their time in the isolation of their cabs.
Also, it is not proven that the jabs stop the spread of any disease, and anyone with two brain cells to rub together could have looked at the publicly available hospital data and ascertained this at the time of the protest.
All of this is to say that there was no basis, morally or legally, to enact any such mandate. Come to think of it, it is clear now that there has never been any moral justification for the draconian measures enacted throughout the whole pandemic, as it is beyond doubt that masks do nothing, and lockdowns are ineffective while at the same time they cause other harms.
But the legalist, which is to say the Canadian liberal, cannot reason like this because for them only what is legal is moral and what is moral is legal.
However, this same mentality is also their downfall because as laws change, so does their morality, and therefore their worldview is continually uprooted and destroyed, which is unsustainable and exhausting.
For this reason, whatever happens with the inquiry, it is clear that the current framework of Canada is a house divided and therefore will not stand.
A reckoning is coming.
