Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reappeared in Parliament this evening.  The timing was transparently predictable when contrast against the urgency, and state of emergency the local government declared Sunday to get rid of the freedom protestors.

Exactly on cue, Trudeau appears to clutch his pearls, tell the people of Canada that he understands the “frustration” of the few but appreciates the “overwhelming majority” of Candian citizens who love him and support his COVID policies, despite their being “tired of the pandemic.”  Those who followed the rules and worshipped at the altar of his magnanimous COVID leadership are “the real Canadian voices” Trudeau declared.

Trudeau continued by saying the Canadians who “stepped up, to support one another” express the true meaning of being Canadian.  The protest group are a hate-riddled minority of unclean “swastika” waving outsiders, walking around Ottawa “insulting and jeering” local residents “for wearing a mask.”

Trudeau told the chamber, the protest group “is not the story of this pandemic.”   He accused the protest group of “attempting to block the economy” without regard for their collective responsibility to “support their fellow Canadians.”  WATCH:

CANADA – […] “The protesters in Ottawa are “trying to blockade our economy, our democracy and our fellow citizens’ daily lives. It has to stop,” Trudeau said Monday night in the House of Commons.  “The people of Ottawa don’t deserve to be harassed in their own neighbourhoods.” (read more)

A disturbing video [Full Video Link] shows a seriously unstable set of Ottawa police officers targeting and arresting an 80-year-old man for the crime of blowing his car horn (I think).

A shorter version of this video is going viral on social media as the Ottawa police department begins “enhanced enforcement techniques,” at the request of municipal and provincial government officials.  There’s some salty language here as the Canadian police begin to go full Australia with the arrests in/around the Freedom Protest groups.

The elderly man, albeit a little salty with the officers, was identified by police as a non-compliant threat to their authority.  He is then roughly manhandled, put on the ground and eventually handcuffed and taken away.  His current status is unknown. WATCH (Prompted)

Good grief, when the leftist government in Canada gets pushback, they really don’t know how to handle it.  Earlier today, the Canadian government expressed extreme anger toward any American citizen who may have made a financial contribution to the Freedom Protest. {CTV}

Reading from a prepared statement, Justin Trudeau’s Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino stated the Canadian government intends to target any American who may have donated to the Freedom Convoy protest effort.  Apparently, the Canadian government wants to scare Americans away from donating to support the Freedom Protest in Ottawa.  [Full Presser Video Here]

Minister Mendicino identified the Ottawa protest group as a “violent”, “hate” group.  The Ottawa truck drivers were described as an “angry, loud, intolerant and violent crowd,” who “threaten the national security of Canada.”

Following his outline of the violent mob, Minister Mendicino switched his targeting to the donors who have supported the Freedom Protest, saying that Canada has a “robust” intelligence community that will flag for the Trudeau administration all concerns of national security, as well as a separate branch within the RCMP that looks into these types of issues.

“That’s why I’m certainly confident that wherever there’s foul play of the sort, that we’ll be in a position to act appropriately,” said Mendicino.  “If, for example, someone was contributing with the intent of either causing public harm or trying to undermine public safety, that would be something that would be against the law, and there would be appropriate sanctions for that, if proven in the court of law,” he said.

The crowdfunding website GiveSendGo issued a press release today [FULL HERE] outlining their intent to stand by the people who organized the Freedom Convoy in Canada.

Within their statement GiveSendGo says they have been in contact with the organizers, and the supporters of the Freedom Protest had raised $4.5 million in 24 hours.  This is the largest crowdfunding campaign they have ever supported:

(Press Release) –  BOSTON, Mass. – GiveSendGo stands for hope and freedom. We recognize the freedoms we have are God-given, not authorized by governments, but rather freedoms that ought to be protected by our governments.

GiveSendGo does not condone violence of any form! We believe there’s more power in the unity of a peaceful protest than in violent civil unrest.

As in any polarized situation, we recognize there will be a few individuals and groups that might intentionally try to incite violence, which will be used to stain this movement by opposing groups. We will not broad stroke those individual situations as a depiction of what this movement represents as if they were affiliated.

GiveSendGo has also been in contact with the campaign organizers and has received full assurance that all funds raised will go to provide humanitarian aid and legal support for the peaceful truckers and their families as they stand for freedom.

“In light of allowing this campaign we have seen an overwhelming outpouring of support from across the globe,” said GiveSendGo CoFounder Heather Wilson.  This has quickly become GiveSendGo’s largest campaign ever and has raised over 4.5 million USD in less than 24 hours. (read more)

A judge in Ontario has issued a 10-day injunction against honking in Ottawa.

CANADA –  Ontario Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean has granted a 10-day injunction to prevent truckers parked on city streets in downtown Ottawa from honking their horns incessantly.

McLean said Monday the injunction is temporary because he needs to hear more evidence, but that he has heard enough to make this ruling as a protest against COVID-19 pandemic measures continues to paralyze the national capital around Parliament Hill.

[…] McLean said he heard enough evidence that the continual blaring of horns was having an effect on residents that their right for “quiet, if we can use that term,” trumped the honking truckers’ right to protest.  […] the court is slated to hear more evidence on how the injunction will be enforced.  (read more)

Trucks and Geese hardest hit.

People are starting to catch on.  First, how it is surfacing:

(Zero Hedge) ...”traders are paying bumper premiums for immediate supply” … “Commodities are severely undersupplied” … “The shortage of, well, everything has translated into record price of virtually all commodities: the Bloomberg Commodity Spot Index, which tracks 23 energy, metals and crop futures, has touched a record this year. That has been driven in part by surging oil prices, which have hit their highest level since 2014.” (read more)

CTH readers are specifically well positioned to understand what is happening in the background we have discussed two specific issues:

(1) In any era of hyper-inflation, we always see the advanced purchasing of inventory for profit.  Meaning, when prices are quickly rising multinationals use their size and power over commodity goods to store, physically or through contracted future purchases, goods that are held until a specific target price is reached and then sold for a bigger profit.  In 2022 the “supply chain disruption” is being used as a cover.

(2) In the modern era, the major multinationals control the supply of originating products.  There’s no such thing as a free market. In the modern era it is a controlled market.

Long before the word “inflation” hit the 2021 headlines, April/May of last year, CTH specifically identified where we are right now.

In the background right now, the multinationals are exploiting the two issues above.  The Zero Hedge article “Shortages of Everything” is discussing the surfacing symptom, i.e. goods traders willing to pay premium prices to secure inventories, not necessarily the root cause.

So much to do and so little time, LOL.

I forget who wanted this, my apologies, so I’ll just put it out and let everyone take or use as they see fit.

Keep in mind that a partnership between Trump Media Technology Group (TMTG) and Rumble was announced last December {LINK}.  Today Rumble steps into the social media and video hosting controversy with Joe Rogan and Spotify.

Spotify is the host for Joe Rogan’s podcast.  Spotify is under pressure to cancel Joe Rogan.  Today Rumble has offered Joe Rogan $100,000,000.00 over four years to switch platforms.

Last October Rumble bought out Dave Ruben’s Locals platform.  In November Rumble announced they were moving to Florida {LINK}.  A month later the Trump Media Group announced a partnership with Rumble.

Even with Joe Biden’s inflation, $100 million is a stunning amount of money and Rogan wouldn’t have to worry about being censored or cancelled.  Smart move by Rumble in getting all of the PR just from the offer.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
