How long can the Canadian government last?
I watched this one hour Jordan Peterson interview with Rex Murphy last night, which has now had almost 1 million views on YouTube.
This afternoon, JP reiterated his prediction and said “4 weeks.” https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1495848420040445957
I know JP is a well-connected guy with sources in banking, finance, the military, but this got me thinking – assuming Trudeau gets the emergency bill passed by the house tonight (which seems almost certain), what could possibly bring it all to an end in 4 weeks? I know the next step will be the senate in another day or two. Does anyone know anything about the Canadian senate structure and whether it’s any less left-leaning than the house?
Assuming Trudeau gets it through both of those stages, what does that leave? Here are 3 ideas (in ascending level of likelihood!)
1) The Queen threatens to excommunicate Canada from the Commonwealth! Seriously, poor HM is triple jabbed and now suffering from COVID, so that won’t be happening.
2) Here’s one that’s more likely. A lot of people have been forecasting a calamitous stock market drop starting very soon, possibly even tomorrow. If the emergencies bill is passed tonight, that’s the kind of thing that could and should seriously spook the markets in Canada and the US. If that were to continue for several weeks, combined with a bank run or International capital leaving Canadian banks, that could bring matters to a head.
3) I’ve saved what I think is the best for last. I’m certain that, if this were to happen, it would bring down the Trudeau government in a matter of weeks. It appears that the elderly woman trampled by a police horse in Ottawa was First Nations, possibly a Mohawk elder. I don’t think any of us has yet registered the potential significance of this. CBC and other channels have been repeating the official police line that a protestor may have thrown a bicycle at a horse. However, I’ve heard rumours that First Nations tribes are angry and that some of them may be considering protesting. If a mass mobilisation of First Nations protests started happening in Ottawa and all across the country, Trudeau would be absolutely screwed. As the self-proclaimed Prince of Woke, he couldn’t send in the police to beat them up or evict them, and the emergencies act even specifically says that the emergency legislation doesn’t even apply to them. So they could camp out at Ottawa until this is over and I’d like to see the police checkpoints try turning them back.
I don’t know how connected the many First Nations tribes are across Canada, or how connected they are to the truckers, but if there was some way to start channels of communication and get that happening, I cannot see how that could possibly fail. Trudeau would be forced to compromise, or more likely, resign.
Of course, the protest would have to be almost exclusively First Nations people, otherwise Trudeau and MSM would still label them white supremacists.
Trudeau’s very virtue-signalling wokeness could end up being his Achilles heel that paints him into a corner with nowhere to go.
Your scenarios have much merit. I believe that if the markets crash an a capital run begins he will be out a lot sooner than 4 weeks. Things would develop much quicker if that is what happens.
Jordan Peterson “I believe Jagmeet Singh of the NDP is even more juvenile and narcissistic than Trudeau.” Yes sir!
The Senate is a complete enigma
Not Elected …Appointed…FOR LIFE..I don’t think Trud appointed many of them
There are about 100 of them…Low Profile does not even do justice to what they are…unless there is a scandle..no one has a clue WHO they are
But I think they lean Conservative…They did nuke Trudeaus Pet Internet censorship bill last time it was tried.
I’m pretty down on our options right now though…what a mess.
However if this passes it is only in effect 3 more weeks before another vote must be had…every 30 days
So…If the Market crashes then that could change the next vote one would think
The truckers need to take a break for a month or so and let things percolate..If their perceived threat is removed the house will find it easier to vote against the Turd
I do like your last scenario though . That would be great if the Natives are Restless !
And there is that RCMP email group that was high fiving about the horses trampling people…they thought it was cool
That one needs to get mre air time…They have identified the culprits and they are being investigated…They need to Hang…figuratively for this
Child like people are running Canada.
Where are the grownups?
From my perspective, our governmental institutions all over the world and not just in Canada have lost the legitimacy to govern the people. Governments are completely deluded if they think people will accept something as extreme as martial law merely because they won a vote in parliament. Anyone can see now it’s part of an organized global plan and completely detached from the conditions within their own country. As Pastor Arthur Pawlowski said, without the support of the people, the government –has– no power. Even a communist dictatorship in Poland is doomed when the people no longer choose to comply.
All their token vote for emergency powers is going to do is make the backlash coming from the populace more broad-based, deeper and enduring. The WEF has achieved nothing more than a parliamentary coup in Canada and will soon find out that parliament can’t lead the country if the country won’t follow.
The covid game has moved from the official government arena and into the public square now. New players and a new referee.
