A new police state has been established just north of the states of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. The Province of Ontario is home to over 38% of the population of Canada and is 55% bigger in area than the State of Texas, and it is now acting like a nightmarish police state. (snip) The Ontario government is giving police temporary powers to enforce its stay-at-home order and allowing them to stop individuals and vehicles and ask their reasons for leaving their homes (snip) I find the excerpts from the news conference announcing these changes deeply troubling, just looking at the faces listening to the tone

Ontario turned hard left quite some time ago. It is the leftist enclave of Canada that decides the country's politics. The western provinces want out. Will be interesting if they try. My brother and his wife live in central B.C. They have had enough and want out.

Wow, this is really police state stuff. Insanity and totalitarianism on parade.

And anything goes when you don't have a Constitution....although ours is in tatters these days.

Here is an eternal truth, regardless of country...the "governing centers" of any entity (city, county, state, country), and regardless of the original governing ideology (capitalist, communist, etc.) inevitably devolve to oppressive tyrannical rule. They attract people who crave power and privilege. Once in, those people covertly develop rules and processes that aggregate wealth and power for themselves. And in order to maintain that wealth and power indefinitely, they exert legal and law enforcement suppression of those outside their ruling class to minimize exposure of their self-aggrandizing activity and tight control of the general (non-ruling) population.
See: Democrat Party, any union, BLM, any blue city/county/state/federal agency.

What Canada ( and New York, Michigan, PA, New Jersey, etc etc) have done in the past 14 months is a Classic Case of "The Cure Being Worse Than The Disease"
What has made me really "sick"...... is how quickly and easily so-called "Americans" ( ...land of the free, home of the brave ...) ....have given up their basic rights and freedoms ....???............what scared sheep they are

Oh Canada, Oh Canada...no freedom of travel, state mandated medicine, only approved speech...we know what this is. What has happened to our friends from the north? What happened to the "proud and free" Canada?

Oh Canada,
Frozen wasteland, north.
Trudeau forbids you,
to ever venture forth.
Kung Flu is master,
and Fauci would be proud.
Freedom is silenced, no one may speak out loud.
bury our neighbor, covered with a Chinese shroud.

Thank you #4: inevitably devolve to oppressive tyrannical rule. They attract people who crave power and privilege.
It's what our founders knew.

Don’t forget almost all the American Tories left the New Republic to settle in Canada. They hated the Patriots then and they hate them now. Of course, being opposite to Americanism, they conduct themselves as the tyrants they are.

Go to this site from the Canadian government, “Treaties, Laws and Regulations.” Click on Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

You get “WE ARE SORRY - We couldn't find the page you were looking for.” I guess there are no longer any Rights and Freedoms in Canada. ( And it could happen here too )

Was born there. Came to Texas 30 years ago. It was a Liberal one party country when I left. My kids and sisters are still there. Western Canada though . Every time I start moaning about Democrats their response is " Hold my beer and check this out."
I'm not surprised the country has come to this. For what it's worth no province west of Ontario wants anything to do with it except maybe BC. Biggest virus surges ? The biggest socialist provinces.

Hoserstan lost its way YEARS ago. They are our second worst border neighbor...but only because there's only one other.
