Check It Out: Chaos averted

By Joan Janzen

The practical joke I saw involved a beautifully decorated cake. However, the first slice revealed, not cake, but layers of meatloaf! Last week many Canadians may have felt like they were on the receiving end of a practical joke, but it was no laughing matter. Which may be why our Prime Minister decided to revoke his decision and back down before the senate could vote.

Following the vote by MP’s on the Emergency Measures Act, Jordan Peterson and Rex Murphy discussed the situation.

“There’s nothing more attractive than a false crisis to divert attention from a real crisis. Canada is in a state of economic crisis. Why not have a false crisis ... the magnitude of which has not yet been revealed?” Peterson asked. “Then you can look heroic when you’re dealing with something that doesn’t exist instead of facing the fact that you have been appallingly incompetent over the last six years, and that things are really about to manifest themselves in their true nature.” He referred to the crisis Trudeau created by not only refusing to dialogue with the convoy, but falsely labeling them.

Peterson continued, “Canadians are asked to decide if these truckers are a foreign funded, reprehensible bunch of insurrectionists, or whether the entire governing structure in Canada, and the press that reports on it, has become corrupt in a historically unmatched manner. That’s a tough choice, but the first part isn’t true, and the second part unfortunately is. And you can tell that, not least by the fact that parliament has essentially been abrogated during the past two years, and we now have retroactive crime and the seizure of bank accounts. This is all occurring when the pandemic is not only coming to a halt on technical grounds, but when many countries around the world are lifting mandates, and which would not have been lifted in Canada unless the truckers had protested. This is all happening in the background of the devolving of executive responsibility to experts and opinion by all three political parties, the abandonment of the working class by the NDP, and the imposition of an utopian globalist agenda on the entire economy of the country.”

Peterson paused after his lengthy remarks, and Murphy added his own. “This is a sad, sad mess. And I tell you this for sure, in the next 12 months, we’re going to hear so many ramifications from this. We’ve done a great injury that may not be easily repaired over time. That’s the biggest story of all, it’s not the convoy, or the protest, it’s the nature of the country and the harmony it once knew.”

Peterson agreed, noting these are unprecedented times in our country. “I’ve not been an admirer of Trudeau since he decided to run for office despite lacking all the necessary qualifications to do so. Having said all that, I don’t wish that he would reside over the destruction of the country as evidence of his incompetence.”

Murphy summed up their discussion, saying it’s a serious time. “There’s a lot of men and women that came for two to three weeks. They were mocked by the majority of the Canadian press. Now they have been booted out of their national capital. I say to them I think they did good stuff. The working class is what keeps the country working.” These times are truly unprecedented since our PM backed down on the EMA. It doesn’t make him a hero, but it prevented unnecessary chaos.
