From WSJopinion: Canada is no longer a liberal constitutional state. A coercive Ottawa rules over daily life, writes MaryAnastasiaOG.

When Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared last month that truckers protesting his Covid-19 vaccine mandates in Ottawa holdhe accentuated the real reason the drivers decided they had no choice but to go to the streets. Their government, headed by the Liberal Party, has become decidedly illiberal.

The truckers, engaged largely in peaceful acts of civil disobedience, call themselves the Freedom Convoy. But they aren’t an organized group with a leader. Some set out from western Canada last month in opposition to a vaccine mandate. Along the way others joined the original pack in person, in spirit—and even in solidarity. On Feb. 8, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

“the tow trucks operators on contract to the City of Ottawa [were] taking a hard pass on requests to haul vehicles out of protest areas, according to the city’s top public servant.”

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG this time science guides the law so looks like those that do not believe in the science and feel the law is unjust are victims of believing in a falsehood: 'that vaccines are bad all the time.' as I know vaccines are ALMOST 100% safe.

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG Has it ever been?

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG It's interesting how commentators on the right excuse the fascist thuggery of the populist right by asserting that it's the government that's fascist.

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG You got that right, truckers say quarantine/rest’n would’ve been effective in isolating virus at G-0, tough measures, too late to protect millions, are political theater/effort to shift blames from greedy/corrupt corps & their enablers to ordinary ppl they’er supposed to protect.

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG What utter — being polite — nonsense. This malignant convoy stunt is not organic and has nothing to do with “freedom.” It is yet another antic, funded and organized by ideological zealots. Period

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG Support for terrorism is a mighty poisonous position, if you ask me, .

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG Would those who complain about what the Canadian authorities have done be satisfied if the roads were filled with corpses by the cars driven by idiots who said, 'I have the freedom to disobey the traffic rules'?

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG US is not free either.We need vaccination.Our parade was beaten by the police.This is not the country where I grew up.

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG What a load of shit.

opinion MaryAnastasiaOG Wow that's a fun collection of replies you have to this editorial. Is someone going to get terminated for publishing such a stupid statement.
