Canadians who care about freedom are tempted by despair these days. But what has transpired with Biden’s censorship agenda ought to give us at least a bit of optimism.
Complacency is the biggest enemy to any democratic nation and Canada is no different. Human nature is, that the longer a democracy exists, the more complacent they become. The more complacent voters become the bolder government leaders become. To proof my point, this exact situation is happening right now in Canada.
In a conversation with FDR envoy Harry Hopkins in January 1941, Churchill laid out the premise under which Western democracies fought - the cause for which Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen fought and died: "We seek no treasure, we seek no territorial gains, we seek only the right of man to be free; we seek his rights to worship his God, to lead his life in his own way, secure from persecution. As the humble labourer returns from his work when the day is done, and sees the smoke curling upwards from his cottage home in the serene evening sky, we wish him to know that no rat-a-tat-tat of the secret police upon his door will disturb his leisure or interrupt his rest. We seek government with the consent of the people, man’s freedom to say what he will, and when he thinks himself injured, to find himself equal in the eyes of the law. But war aims other than that we have none."
I hope for my Canadian friends that treudea doesn’t just learn how to do it better than Biden did. I wish more Canadians cared about freedom! Need more like you!
You wrote, "Canadians who care about freedom are tempted by despair these days." Yes, but the question today is, it seems, just how many of them are there?
Comrade Justin is more likely to hire Jankowicz than he is to pause any censorship plans. Remember he really admires the Chinese Communists.
