I’ve pondered where I want to start with my writing. There is no shortage of interesting topics to be had these days. Do ya think? :D
Finally I decided on a small sound bite to set the tone. While I now live under the dictatorship of the Ford Gulag (formerly known as Ontario), I was born in Montreal in what we used to call “La belle province”, Quebec. Is it still beautiful? Unquestionably. It is a vibrant province, with stunning cities, built on the rugged determination of les coureurs de bois. Today, however, something strange is happening in Quebec. Francois Legault, to be referred to henceforth as the Tin Pot Dictator, has locked the province down, imposed curfews, and further, these curfews also apply to dog walkers. Yes, you read that right: if your dog needs to do a dump between 10pm and 5am, he is… well, shit out of luck. Protesters on New Years Eve were arrested and fined in droves. So the protests continued, albeit in daylight. Today I heard, that despite having a population that is 85%+ vaccinated, the Tin Pot Dictator has called in the army, ostensibly to “help with vaccination”. Does he think we are stupid? It is no coincidence that CTV and other mainstream media outlets, also known as the propaganda arm of the government, suddenly began showing images of protesters in Europe being attacked by security forces and dogs. Seriously? The protests have been happening in EVERY major European city, EVERY night, for months on end. What did we hear from mainstream media? Crickets. But at the first sight of brutal beatings and dog attacks, we are bombarded. Sorry CTV, CBC and the rest of you pathetic bought media heads. We’re on to you. And we have no tolerance for totalitarianism and the likes of the Tin Pot Dictator.
Dissent is Patriotic. No act of sedition is too small. #DoNotComplyEver
Whoa, this IS a good one. Often I think these sorts of things are tests...that "they" all sit around saying, "ok, how far can we push them...think of something really ridiculous that would cause anyone to scratch their heads...hey! I've got it! Put a curfew on dog walking!! Nobody is going to buy that!! Let's see what happens." Boom...most people comply, and they have moved that much closer to what is now happening in Shanghai....
