Hitler had the Brownshirts, who were responsible for the intimidation of his political opponents. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his deputy Chrystia Freeland have Google Maps and their country’s media, which glosses over their ties to George Soros, the controversial billionaire hedge fund investor.
In a move clearly intended to intimidate, Google Maps published the locations of donors who contributed to Freedom Convoy protesters through the crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo. The identities of donors were leaked online after GiveSendGo was hacked. Donors who contributed have already faced threats of violence, which publications like the Ottawa Citizen have uncritically celebrated. Breitbart reported that the Canadian and U.S. legacy media, including the Washington Post, are reaching out to the donors whose privacy was violated, which serves as further intimidation.
The pious executives of Google and social media platforms, who profess to object to their sites being used for hate speech, have no problem abetting violence against those who support peaceful protests. It’s a disgrace that not one social media executive has expressed concern about privacy violations resulting from GiveSendGo’s hack.
The Canadian media’s coverage of Tamara Lich, one of the organizers of the so-called Freedom Convoy, is also a disgrace. Rich was arrested as part of the Trudeau government’s sweeping emergency powers. What’s the best charge the government could muster?
Counselling to commit mischief.
That’s all they’ve got.
Lich’s bank account has been frozen, and she has been denied bail.
“This community has already been impacted enough by some of the criminal activity and blockades you took part in and even led,” said Justice Julie Bourgeois, in denying Lich bail.
“You have had plenty of opportunity to remove yourself and even others from this criminal activity but obstinately chose not to and persistently counselled others not to either.”
Bourgeois said Lich could face a “lengthy” prison sentence if convicted.
Why even have a trial? Bourgeois’ rhetoric makes obvious that she isn’t concerned about even maintaining the appearance of fairness and objectivity.
This is banana republic stuff, and so are runs on banks. There was speculation that happened because some Canadians feared that Freeland might move to freeze their accounts. Another more frightening rumor is that Canada’s major banks were hacked. The rumors were sparked after Canada’s five major banks all went mysteriously offline for several hours after Freeland announced she was freezing the bank accounts of the protesters.
Canada’s five major banks are among the most technologically advanced financial institutions in the world. One must be awfully naïve to believe it was just a coincidence they all experienced outages at the same moment.
The Canadian legacy media understandably hasn’t dared to question the draconian measures of Trudeau and Freeland. Many, if not most, are financial wards of the Trudeau government. Since 2020, the Trudeau government has provided tens of millions of funding to Canadian media outlets, some of whom haven’t even been identified.
“Hardly any media are reporting on all of the press bailouts … or on the fact the opposition leader has promised to cancel the $595 million bailout,” Mark Edge, a Canadian journalism historian told CanadaLand, a publication whose focus includes media. “This is starting to smell very bad indeed. Canadians are not stupid.”
Freeland knows the Canadian media has her back. When Trudeau in 2017 named Freeland Canada’s foreign affairs minister, it was revealed that her late maternal grandfather, Michael (Mykhail) Chomiac, was a Nazi collaborator who served as editor-in-chief of an antisemitic newspaper in Cracow. Freeland said she was a victim of a Russian disinformation campaign, which most the Canadian media reported and supported.
Chomiac’s past was revealed by Freeland’s uncle. The ombudsman for the CBC chastised the taxpayer-funded network for reporting information the network knew was false.
The Canadian media also is negligent glossing over Freeland’s connection with George Soros, the controversial billionaire hedge fund manager.
Think I’m spreading reckless conspiracy theories?
Here’s a link to a Globe and Mail article where Freeland, a former top editor with the Globe and Financial Times, disclosed that before entering politics she had a book deal to write Soros’ biography. Chris George, a former adviser to Conservative cabinet ministers who has written extensively about Freeland, has highlighted other Trudeau officials with ties to Soros.
One of them is Gerald Butts, who worked at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Canada, which George said was “financially supported through the years by Soros’ coffers.” According to George, WWF gave Butts “a most generous US$361,642 severance package to support him through a ‘volunteer position’ on Trudeau’s campaign.
Butts went on to become Trudeau’s principal secretary. He resigned in disgrace amid allegations he bared some responsibility for pressuring a former Trudeau justice minister not to proceed with a criminal prosecution of Quebec-based engineering firm SNC-Lavalin. Even the New York Times admitted the scandal tarnished Trudeau’s image as a feminist and defender of “sunny ways.”
In a prescient February 2 commentary, National Post columnist Rupa Subramanya warned that Freeland’s ties to the World Economic Forum (WEF) “is endangering Canadian Democracy.” According to Subramanya, Freeland “has been a fixture at the WEF for years” and serves as a trustee of the organization. WEF is best known for its annual Davos gathering of the world’s financial and political elite.
It’s to the National Post’s credit that it published Subramanya’s column because its owner was a recipient of Trudeau’s media largesse.
In political circles, Freeland is described as “Minister of Everything,” because she reportedly has her tentacles in all areas of Trudeau’s government. In addition to serving as Deputy Prime Minister, Freeland is comically Canada’s Minister of Finance.
Freeland has no financial background, but according to the Globe, when she oversaw a $15 million relaunch of Thomson Reuters’ website, the project was beset with “technical problems, budget overruns and an inadequate revenue model, and it was seemingly doomed by the time she left – at which point the company almost immediately pulled the plug on it.”
That’s the financial experience of the person responsible for Canada’s budget and finances.
Mark Edge, the media historian, is correct that Canadians aren’t stupid. But they historically have been trusting of authority and their media. It’s disheartening that the CBC was the most watched source of the Ottawa protests. Most Canadians are unaware of the grander plans Trudeau and Freeland have for the country.
I’m confident they’d be alarmed if they did. While Freeland’s grandfather was celebrating Nazism and the slaughtering of Jews, the grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, and mothers of many Canadians were fighting the Germans on the front lines, often suffering heavy casualties. They gave their lives to protect Democracy and freedom.
Trudeau and Freeland want to remake Canada as part of a new world order, and they’ve got powerful globalist and media friends who are complicit in the effort. I pray Canadians will soon wake up as to what’s happening.
