Jordan Peterson: Worst is yet to come from Trudeau Liberals

Uncategorized

I have had the great privilege of travelling to 40 American cities in just about as many states and to 15 European countries in the last four months, in the waning days of the great COVID panic, and I have learned many things about our great and self-conscious nation. It may have escaped Canadians’ notice, but virtually nowhere else in the developed world is it now required to wear a mask, as is still mandatory in many of Canada’s airports and on flights out of our benighted country. There is absolutely no excuse for this, except the punitive self-righteousness of the Trudeau Liberals. What else might you expect, however, from a government that also includes Chrystia Freeland, a deputy prime minister who has bragged about her colleagues’ appalling economic performance, claiming that it is actually good for Canadians to empty their wallets at the gas pumps, because of its implications in fighting the «climate emergency.» I simply cannot believe that this absolute failure of economic policy is now being trumpeted as a positive accomplishment.

Even the American Democrats think that idea is insane. And a non-trivial proportion of Canadians seemed willing to buy the story, despite its demonstrable falseness and preposterousness, because the alternative was the truly painful realization that governmental institutions have now become fundamentally incompetent. Perhaps Canadians are trying to downplay the significance of all of this, because we are in some state of shock after all the COVID over-reach, which we have not yet sloughed off. And I have said nothing about additional issues such as Bill C-11, which is perhaps the most appalling piece of legislation currently on the books , which renders virtually every internet content provider in the world subject to the rules that should not even still govern the CBC and CTV , and which will make the rules regulating the net in Canada some of the most absurd and restrictive in the free world .

Or that we are pursuing an energy policy generated by ideologues that will not only impoverish our populace by making energy unreasonably expensive but that will only increase the probability that countries such as China will have to rely on coal to produce electricity instead of accessing, say, our plentiful natural gas. That we are producing a generation of activist judges who are usurping what should be legislative action so that they can «improve» the world more efficiently than mere Parliament, with its lack of Chinese-Communist-Party efficiency, might manage. Or the fact that the OECD has predicted that Canada will have the worst growth prospects of the major industrial societies for the next FOUR DECADES . Singh might, if anything, be worse.

Trudeau’s government has been wracked by scandals, each one severe enough to justify the dissolution of Parliament under normal conditions, so numerous that it is almost impossible to recover from the shock of one revealed misbehaviour quick enough to process the next. And we could have four more years of this, particularly if Singh continues to ambulate miraculously without a spine, something physiologically impossible but apparently simultaneously possible on the political and conceptual front. This is not good, Canadians. We not only look like fools to our great American allies and internationally , we are actually being fools, led by the king of fools, and we’re going to pay for it.

This government has to go, and the sooner the better.
