An ongoing inquiry into the merit of the Trudeau government invoking the Emergencies Act has now shown just how far the Trudeau government and certain allied elements are willing to go.
Despite the Canadian government’s insistence that the military would not be deployed during the Freedom Convoy protests, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Commissioner Thomas Carrique and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Commissioner Brenda Lucki discussed Lucki’s clandestine plan to have military troops disguised as Mounties — an underhanded method to manage a protest that was peaceful to begin with.
Trudeau was so mortified by the protests and desperate to shut them down that he lied about police requesting that he invoke the Emergency Measures Act.
Texts revealed in the ongoing inquiry also showed that the Trudeau government planned to push an “extreme narrative.”
Text messages between Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s offices revealed a plan to “get in on the growing narrative” that the Freedom Convoy truckers were “extreme.”
Recall Trudeau’s words as he endeavored to smear, isolate and downplay the convoy protests:
The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa, who are holding unacceptable views that they are expressing, do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other, who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, our rights, our values as a country.
The “science” of which Trudeau spoke was also being manipulated, by Trudeau himself. A Toronto Sun report stated last year that scientists were “muzzled” and that “it’s become readily apparent that the Public Health Agency of Canada is a politicized arm of the Trudeau government.” The article referenced a column in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that said:
Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) stalled media access to the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) at the same time Canada’s chief public health officer suspended regular pandemic briefings and interviews “in light of the election.”
The inquiry continues.
“Canada’s top cop considered soldiers undercover as Mounties at Freedom Convoy,” by Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun, October 28, 2022:
The conversation between two of Canada’s top cops was about an undercover police operation that would see soldiers disguised Mounties.
We’ve seen police officers dress up as protesters before but military troops potentially dressing up police officers is something new on Canada’s political and law enforcement landscapes. Yet, despite the Canadian government’s insistence the military would not be deployed to help end last winter’s Freedom Convoy protest blocking streets below Parliament Hill, sneaking the military into the middle of the protest disguised as police was discussed.
The stunning revelation about this clandestine consideration came to light Thursday at the Justice Paul Rouleau Inquiry into the merit of the Trudeau government invoking the Emergencies Act when documents revealed a Feb. 13, 2022 text message conversation between OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique and RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki.
While there was a suggestion the conversation should move to a more secure platform that doesn’t create a historical record, what was on record and entered as evidence was reminiscent of something from deep-state-style espionage novels instead of a country that prides itself on its Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
But the trucker’s Freedom Convoy has put the charter, freedom and the very definition of criminal behaviour to the test.
What was learned Thursday was that two weeks into the ongoing protest, and one day before Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canada’s history, Lucki asked Carrique for his thoughts on the use of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) for various roles to help manage the standoff with protesting truckers.
Lucki texted: “Could you see a role for CAF in any of this… For example, after we secure and all is back to ‘normal,’ maybe keeping sites secure or patrolling unmanned POE’s (Public Order Emergency) etc.”
Carrique responded: “The best step for government – I would rather not see CAF playing a role off of govt properties. We could use special constables controlled by police for unarmed patrols and an immediate long term commitment (s) to adequate policing resources to both prevent and respond to these events.”
Lucki responded: “It’s funny you say that, because I was thinking maybe we could use CAF but in our uniforms as unarmed Auxiliaries or Spl (special) Csts. (constables) to supplement us … in teams.”
It is unclear whether or not this ever happened…..

Sounds like our FBI. Like I’ve said, merge the US and Canada, and then re-split them along political lines. King Charles/Justin Trudeau can be the head of the Leftist half, and President Trump the head of the Rightist half

Won’t happen, Infidel, but it’s an interesting, even a beautiful, thought nonetheless. But an even “better deal” would be not doing what you proposed but eventually consigning the Leftist detritus in both nations to only marginal portions of the population and thereafter witnessing the rise again, a political renaissance if you will, of two of the greatest nations on Earth.
Again I assert that Islam is not the main problem for the West. It is a secondary problem, though one that surely bears repeated overview. Rather, Leftism in all its full non-glory and stupidity is what is most menacing to the preservation of Western Civilization. Frankly, I have to wonder why far more people in the West don’t see this—but they don’t.

I agree Wellington leftism lets and encourages Islamic cause and other cult causes castigating children, rewarding criminal behavior ,encouraging vandalism ,crushing free speech ,having giving government authorities the power to treat the general public as children.
