IT'S OVER! Freedom Convoy Just KILLED Trudeau's Bullsh*t Emergency Act

Summary

The video discusses a recent court ruling in Canada that found Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government acted illegally by invoking emergency powers to quell the 'Freedom Convoy' trucker protests. It analyzes how the legacy media and Trudeau administration unjustly labeled protesters as racist and far-right extremists to justify authoritarian crackdowns on dissent. The host argues this reveals a dangerous appetite within supposedly liberal governments to censor speech and bypass civil liberties through states of emergency and unchecked executive power. However, the court victory for protesters highlights the importance of independent media and civil society upholding free expression against encroaching political overreach.

Keywords

💡Emergency Act

The Emergency Act is a law in Canada that grants extraordinary powers to the government during national emergencies. It allows the government to override civil liberties and rights like free speech and assembly. Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergency Act to crack down on the Freedom Convoy protests by truckers. This was controversial because it was unprecedented in Canadian history and was later ruled to be unjustified and illegal.

💡Authoritarianism

Authoritarianism refers to a style of governance characterized by high centralization of power that limits civil liberties. The video argues that Trudeau's liberal government is exhibiting authoritarian tendencies by silencing dissent against COVID restrictions. Invoking the Emergency Act to quell protests is offered as a key example.

💡Dissent

Dissent refers to protest or disagreement with official policy or ideas. The trucker convoy exemplified dissent against vaccine mandates and lockdown policies. The video casts dissent as an exercise of free speech that is vital for democracy.

💡Free Speech

Free speech is the right to express ideas and opinions freely. The video argues free speech is under threat by Trudeau's actions, like invoking the Emergency Act to stop protests. The court ruling was a victory for free speech.

💡Far Right

The far right refers to extreme conservative ideologies like fascism and white nationalism. The video claims Trudeau wrongly labelled the truckers far right to delegitimize their dissent as racist and unconstitutional.

💡Nazis

Nazis refer to Germany's fascist regime under Hitler. Trudeau repeatedly compared the truckers to Nazis to portray them as extremists and justify the Emergency Act. The video argues this rhetoric was exaggerated and untrue.

💡Working People

Working people refers to everyday citizens and manual laborers like the truck drivers. The video argues the liberal media and government despise working people's dissent against COVID restrictions.

💡Legacy Media

Legacy media refers to traditional mainstream news outlets. The video accuses legacy media of spreading misinformation about the protests and failing to scrutinize Trudeau's authoritarian actions.

💡Independent Media

Independent media are alternative news sources outside mainstream outlets. The video praises independent media for exposing the truth about the protests and Trudeau's abuses of power.

💡Tyranny

Tyranny refers to cruel, oppressive, and arbitrary rule. Though Trudeau postures as progressive, the video argues freezing bank accounts and jailing protesters reveals tyrannical tendencies.

Transcripts

Justin Trudeau acted illegally in

evoking the emergency act during the

trucker protest in Canada that's now

been legally determined so will this be

a victory for free speech or will it

lead to the doubling down of

authoritarianism by apparently liberal

governments hello there you Awakening

wonders thanks for joining us in our

Voyage to truth and freedom remember if

you become a supporter of our work we

make additional videos every week like

one on the farming protest that's very

like the Canadian trucker story as a

matter of fact you'll see how it all

connected to January 6th and you'll see

how liberalism is using the idea of the

far right to introduce more

authoritarianism apparently to protect

people we also did an exclusive video on

an 8% increase in child deaths we give

you the kind of content that's difficult

to bring you publicly and it's so vital

that you support our work if you can

because as you know we are facing a

tyrannical and authoritarian force that

wants to censor and shut down in fact

when I'm reading about some of this

stuff I think about the demonetization

on YouTube and I think about the

government getting involved in our work

and I think about how the Legacy Media

have operated recently regarding me

personally and it's very important that

if you can you support our work because

there's no doubt we are sliding towards

authoritarianism under the guise of

liberalism and the emergency Act and the

attempt to evoke it by Justin Trudeau

was one of those moments that revealed

that neoliberalism and it sort of mask

of cultural progressiveness is an

interesting force in contemporary

politics remember people had their bank

accounts Frozen people went to jail we

were told that it was a national

emergency Canada has never evoked this

act in its history so it was an

unprecedented act with unprecedented

consequences all the while we were told

that the truckers were racist that they

were Nazis remember this kind of

rhetoric is becoming extremely common

January 6th was an Insurrection the

farmers protest are somehow far right

and racist it's almost as if if you

attempt to resist globalism which

amounts to the advance of the agenda of

a global Elite attempting to control the

world's resources and the world's

democracies if you oppose that you will

be called far right fortunately in

Canada a ruling is found that Trudeau's

government acted illegally let's have a

look at this story and see what it means

for all of us ottawa's weeks long

gridlock warranted the government's

attention according to the federal

court but using the emergencies act to

deal with it was not justified Justice

Richard Mosley ruled that the federal

government violated two sections of the

charter freezing bank accounts was in

unreasonable search and seizure and the

nation wide order to stop protesting

violated the right to free expression

one key factor Ontario and Alberta had

already shut down border protests

demonstrating it could be done these are

things that you might have felt at the

time when you heard bank accounts being

frozen surely these protest of Freedom

expression thankfully Canada has a form

of constitution in which those values

and ideas are enshrined the bigger

question is would people ever attempt to

exert this level of control again and

are the Legacy Media going to be made

accountable for support in the claim

that these truckers were racist and far

right and that their protests were not

legitimate this ruling had a different

conclusion than the head of the public

commission found last year unlike his

findings the federal court ruling is

legally binding remember since this

Canada has passed a new Online safety

bill that gives them incredible control

over the media and of course they said

this was to amplify Canadian voices and

to support diversity all valuable and

important ideas but one can't help but

wonder if all of these Online safety

bills we have one in our country you've

got them coming to your country they're

discussing for the whole EU are

ultimately about controlling information

so that trucker movements can't ever

happen again so that events where people

protest against government activity

State corporatism globalist corruption

can't ever be discussed or organized you

have to ask yourself in your own heart

do you think that these regulatory

bodies the state and the way that they

are sponsored and their globalist

affiliations care about you and your

freedom or do they have other goals

seeing I have concluded that the

decision to issue the proclamation that

would be the invoking of the emergencies

act does not bear the Hallmarks of

reasonableness justification

transparency and intelligibility that

means it was stupid unreasonable and not

transparent which is how it seemed at

the time I me what are they going to do

next applaud a Nazi in

Parliament and was not justified in

relation to the relevant factual and

legal constraints that were required to

be taken into consideration uh and he

talks as well about some of the

financial penalties they brought in in

terms of seizing and and freezing bank

accounts uh because that affected people

Beyond just the people they were trying

to affect that itself uh was an overstep

one theme whether it's in the United

States of America and the anti-a

rhetoric continually in the media the

condemnation of agricultural movement or

indeed the story we're discussing now

the trucker movement what becomes clear

is there is a disdain at the level of

media for ordinary working people and

there is an ongoing effort and appetite

to leverage ideas that legitimize the

condemnation of ordinary working people

they're racist they're disgusting

they're stupid they shouldn't have

rights that emergency Act was literally

we don't care about their rights we

should be able to bypass their rights

when in fact what they were doing was

protesting quite unreasonable government

activity that looks more and more

unreasonable the more we learn about

vaccine efficacy the more we learn about

the efficacy of lockdown the more we

learn about the financial relationships

between the state and pharmaceutical

organizations the more we learn about

the laws and indemnity that was granted

to these organizations the truckers it

seems were right the media were wrong

the government were wrong without the

scrutiny of independ media these kind of

stories would just sort of fizzle out

without the ability to use social media

to organize the truckers would not been

able to mount that protest without

Independent Media and social media

knowledge of the Frozen bank accounts

would not have risen to the point where

enough people were disgusted and aware

that even if they sort of like

politicians like Justin Trudeau and

their cute socks and their lovely hair

and their love of dressing up should we

call it I deeply deeply regret it seems

that there are questions to be asked of

governments that have the aesthetic of

liberalism kindness compassion

progressivism but the actions of

authoritarianism this is a defining

story of our time what's interesting as

well in part of his judgment is he talks

about how if he had been at the table

you know making the decisions that he

does recognize that hindsight is 2020 uh

and that in the moment uh he may have

even been persuaded uh that this was

necessary seems like that judge is

trying to offer as much mitigation as

possible anyone could make the mistake

of freezing bank accounts and throwing

pastors into jail and all of that I

might have even done it myself but the

fact is when you look at what's written

down in our Charter it was illegal

presumably so as not to have masses of

people over Canada right now going wait

a minute we were protesting we were

within our rights to protest and they

froze our bank accounts through people

in jail evoking emergency act and we're

not getting sufficient recompense what

now what should happen as a result of

this did the people get their bank

accounts unfrozen are they compensated

in some way what about the people that

have done jail time as a result of those

measures and what about Trudeau himself

is he allowed to continue to govern

given he's a person who reaches for an

emergency act with the enthusiasm

reaches for the shoe polish on party

night but that in the light of day when

you when you actually get to hear all

the evidence and see uh what the

applicants in this case the civil

liberties uh Association but others as

well is it me or does the future feel

more insecure and uncertain Wars

get to see well actually maybe it wasn't

it's not helpful that in this footage

you continually see militarized police

force which is another one of the

ongoing stories of our age the

militarization of police forces the

introduction of anti-protest laws the

evocation of emergency acts the

introduction of surveillance and

censorship laws across the world that

image there that's Canada that's not the

United States that's not Chia like

that's Canada with all of its sweet

freedom and sweet sweet syrup acting

like a tyrannical State while all the

world telling you look at my hair I'm

called Christia Freeland that's the

Finance Minister who has literal Nazis

in her family background and actual

Nazis in the parliament being applauded

and a willingness to freeze people's

bank accounts and intervene in people's

private and financial lives in

unprecedented ways why because it's an

emergency don't you think that there

seems to be an appetite within these

type of governments to create a state of

emergency in order to evoke these laws

to say there's a terrorist threat in

order to evoke these laws not the other

way around and so he does say there is a

recognition of this benefit of hindsight

and time to actually go through it but

in the moment uh you might be seized

with the sense of urgency a mad giddy

gluttonous appetite for power oh all of

us can get sort of priapic and Giddy and

start evoking emergency laws and

freezing bank accounts any one of us is

felt the sweet seductive Aroma of power

in our nostrils that's not how a

government's supposed to behave look at

all the rational rhetoric look at the

way that Justin Trudeau was in the

television we have to shame people that

don't take vaccines these truckers are

Nazis turns out the person that was

getting a little bit emotional and a

little bit fascistic was Trudeau himself

no that you know calmer heads prevail as

time goes on and in terms of looking

back on what was really going on bit

late if you had your bank account Frozen

and if you were thrown in jail seems

like what they're asking for is the kind

of compassion that we would give one

another on a in person personal level

like oh sorry I shouldn't have said that

actually I made a mistake oh don't worry

about it that's not afforded in today's

culture errors errors of judgment errors

of speech those things the kind of

progressivism that Justin Trudeau

upfront advocates for while round the

back introducing emergency laws that's

the kind of compassion that oh sorry

about that we got bit heart under the

color during those protests we knew we

were exaggerating the threat of covid we

knew we're amplifying the efficacy of

the vaccines we panicked and called

everyone nzis hey it could happen to

anyone some people involved in the

protests are calling this a win this is

resonates as Pleasant news but I would

love to know what the outcome of this

ruling is will there be consequence for

Trudeau Freeland and mesino that's yet

to play out it was officially wrong and

we're sorry and let that be an end to it

thank you good night and God bless

Canada that's the way these things play

out like 2008 financial crash that

should not have happened we're very very

sorry indeed are you going to do

anything about it as I said very sorry

indeed and then there's the matter of

the protesters who had their bank

accounts Frozen and whether this ruling

could give wait to any potential legal

action by them against the government

although that is still unclear Christia

Freeland now the sarcastically named

Finance Minister who froze people's bank

accounts so we are aware of the Court

decision we have discussed it with the

prime minister with cabinet

colleagues with senior federal

government officials and

experts we respect very much Canada's

independent

Judiciary

however we do not agree with this

decision hey you should do a protest oh

I forgot it's illegal I would just like

to take a moment to remind

Canadians of how serious the situation

was in our country when we took that

decision the public safety of

Canadians was under threat safety that's

what we care about remember we're here

to protect you to take care of you lotgh

of threats out there it's very scary out

there no what's scary is you our

national security which includes our

National Economic Security was under

threat the people whose Economic

Security was most threat was the people

who had their Banks pres I'll just get

myself some food I said food hello hello

Frozen it was a hard decision to

take we took it very seriously after a

lot of hard work oh well that's okay

took it seriously like when you try out

those Nazis in Parliament is this

serious or do mistakes happen what what

is it what's the rules we were convinced

at the time I was convinced at the time

it was the right thing to do it was the

necessary thing to do that's what

fascism looks like and sounds like now

it was necessary we had no choice

remember it might not look like the

handmade's tale with a Christian

theocracy it might not look like Bonito

musolini it might look like people with

LLY haircuts and pretty names coming

along telling you that they were scared

and it's for your safety and we had to

do what's right then you investigate

these people and their relationships and

the way that the company is financially

under GED and you start to recognize

that their biggest threat their biggest

fear their biggest concern is your

freedom it's not something that had ever

been done in Canada

before it was certainly not something

that we undertook to do lightly we all

this like whether it was serious or

whether you believed it or whether you

undertook it lightly that's sort of

weird framing isn't it yes we did

illegally use the emergency act but we

didn't do it lightly that ain't what

we're discussing mate we're discussing

whether or not it legal yeah but just to

let you know I actually pushed a pig

into my hand while doing none of that

matters it was illegal the

responsibility of a prime minister

is to make the tough calls and keep

people

safe and this was a

moment

where the collective advice

of cabinet of the public

service and my own inclination was that

this was a moment to do something

that we needed to do to keep Canadians

safe people that were doing the protest

were Canadian they didn't come from

somewhere else so there's not used

patriotic insula language about Canada

now because at the time those Canadians

were Nazis at the time those Canadians

had their bank accounts Frozen at that

time those Canadians had their rights

illegally violated so talking about the

way oh it's so hard to be a prime

minister what was your dad again he was

a prime minister as well oh God how did

you do it you can't use all of that the

burden of power stuff when power has

been plainly misused and knowing full

well that this was an inevitable

consequence of me signing I agree and it

wasn't even my idea that's like a kid is

it it wasn't my idea it was their idea I

just signed it I just prime ministered

it I was very comfortable that we were

at a moment where this was the right

thing to

do

and we did it oh well thanks good night

we were able to solve the situation with

it that there was no loss of life there

was no uh you know serious violence

there's no loss of life there's no

serious violence oh right that's down to

you isn't it that's people are go yeah

but imagine how the pandemic would have

been if we hadn't done all those

lockdowns and all those mandates or near

mandates just see what I mean it's we're

not able to envisage what happened if

they hadn't done what they did which has

now been deemed to be illegal he's still

kind of trying to offer it up as a sort

of solution there's no compunction there

haven't been a recurrence of these kinds

of illegal occupations uh since then

there people protesting legal

occupations I'm not going to pretend

that it's the only thing that could have

done

it but it did do it what the protesters

was doing was legal in evoking the

emergency act what Justine Trudeau did

was illegal and he's still saying it

work though it worked that's amounts to

by any means necessary if you envisage

for a moment justtin Trudeau not with

his lovely hair and handsome face and

delightful suit but wearing like a

series of medals and a military hat

saying we did what we had to do we got

the neighborhoods back under control

this is just a series of procedures that

we have to endure now you'd go well that

is a junter that is a dictatorship that

is corruption and you'd be right I am

absolutely absolutely Serene and

confident um that I made the right

choice in agreeing with the invocation

brilliant I've concluded cluded that the

decision to issue the proclamation of

the emergencies act does not bear the

Hallmarks of reasonableness

justification transparency and

intelligibility and was not justified

Mosley Rome imagine for a moment there

was Donald Trump or one of the enemies

of the Legacy Media that had behaved in

this manner can you imagine the Deluge

they would say they wouldn't they on

MSNBC and CNN this is exactly what

dictatorships do they won't report on

that in this way cuz generally speaking

I'll tell you what I thinks behind it

they don't like working people they

don't like Ordinary People so things

that are against them they just think

trudo that the protests were not violent

but still insisted that he's confident

with his decision to use a law that has

never been used before to stop the

protest there's no loss of life there

was no serious violence there hasn't

been a recurrence of these kind of

illegal occupations since then I'm

absolutely Serene and confident that I

made the right choice in agreeing with

the invocation Trudeau told the

commission that is investigating whether

the government's decision to use the

emergency Act was justifiable very much

like I imagine a mentor of his Tony

Blair when reflecting on the decision to

evade Iraq I did the right thing I'm

have got no sleepless nights about it

well that's just your personal

conscience and they recognize that

that's important to any sovereign

individual but when you're talking about

matters of invoking emergency acts and

freezing bank accounts and jailing

protesters it's not enough before the

emergencies Act was invoked Trudeau said

that those opposing covid measures and

restrictions were of a small Fringe

minority who had unacceptable views in a

sense the more you look at this story

The more you see that it's layer after

lay of authoritarianism masked as

concern for public welfare we're doing

this for your own good seems to be the

Clarion call of this new form of

authoritarianism and when it's found

legally that what they did was

unwarranted and therefore in fact

illegal they say yeah but would have

been much worse if we hadn't done it I

mean if that was coming from pole pot or

someone that we recognize and accept was

a military dictator we go oh God that's

the Twisted warped rhetoric of a tyrant

but because we're just so duped by

Aesthetics and by the language of

liberalism and concern and care and mad

indigenous ceremonies and talk about

inconsequential to them and to power and

to finance measures around sort of Civic

rights issues we're unable to see that

what is actually in front of us is the

very tyranny that they purport to be

protecting us from in absolute plain

sight as they say these days but that's
