Joly along with the entire Liberal Party Politburo are a massive embarrassment to Canada as well as an existential threat to freedom and democracy. These PRC owned-and-operated schills have outstayed they welcome.

I find that 1867 is the cause of all the problems in Canada. Your essay actually points to a government that suggests that democracy does not reconcile with facts on the ground in Canada. And yes, the origin is what we celebrate every July 1.

Let's do a quick review:

As a result of 1867 and other changes, the Maritimes have 5 times the Senate representation with half the population of present-day Alberta on a per capita basis, which is 10 times the representation that a largely Conservative Alberta resident has!!!!????

The Maritimes have almost double the per capita voting power in the House than does Alberta;

A resident of PEI has more than 3 times the voting power as an Alberta resident;

The East, in general, has more than double the House representation compared to the Conservative West;

The East has more than 3 times the Supreme Court representation than the West;

The anomalies you speak of are a result of a government with no boundaries. We no longer have a working democracy in Canada, and the finger points to 1867. This is 2026, NOT 1867.

Now, perhaps you can understand why a large and growing portion of the people of Alberta want freedom from this madness. 1867 will not be changed other than by Alberta choosing sovereignty. Alberta sovereignty vote YES in October.

And this gov't is not satisfied that Tamara Lich and Chris Barber did not get sentenced to a full 8 years for being a public nuisance, in the trucker protest. The prosecution is appealing the decision of house arrest again in Jan 2027. Rapists and violent offenses get off with less penalty. That should tell everyone how important this gov't feels controlling speech is.

The Conservatives need to go hard on this if there ever is another election. With this authoritarian gov't I'm not so sure there will be.

Sadly, the Leftist population in Kanadastan hovers around 65%. These nutjobs totally believe in whatever narrative is fomented from CO2 being pollution to wearing a mask will save your life. Clearly the Ministry of Love has done its job. Even the CPC is half woke.

Common sense people have no political home in Cuba North and have realized that there is no voting our way out of this mess.

So true. The education system and the media have done thier jobs.

Canadians need a well versed, well protected law firm to take on the government for years of misdirection and propaganda that has caused severe anguish and di b ision.

As many have said he wrote the instruction manual. Though he never intended it to be so.

I could care less what these authoritarian clowns do. There laws they pass mean nothing to me and will be willfully ignored. Sue me, go ahead. FAFO. Tyranny will not be complied with.

Email Joly and let her know your thoughts. I did. melanie.joly@parl.gc.ca is her email. Keep it clean and respectful to show that we are not like them.

It’s easy to forget that the people actively petitioned and practically begged for the government to silence the voices they disagreed with. And now… chickens… home… roosting.

CinderOak's avatar

Yes, as a precursor to chickens… home… roasting.

The same public servants who want to judge and punish "wrong-think" will use the full coercive power of the gubbermint to prevent private citizens from seeking accountability against said public servants. So basically, we are ruled by the divine right of kings.

All criminals with blood on their hands, betrayal and treason -- they should not be anywhere near power -- and they wonder why we dont trust them ?? I wonder why anyone would trust government at this point.. and the media?? Outright traitors and liars !!

And the Epstein regime who literally killed and ate kids ?? Want to protect kids ? I hate humans who do this and those who are so retarded they cant program them self beyond the cattle programming

More bluff than substance, IMO. Litigation is costly & politically dangerous. Conservative media in the U.S. would pounce on this. Imagine them taking on Elon Musk. They tried that in Australia & the UK, remember?

Jim M's avatar

Tell that to the gentleman in BC, a school board trustee who is being fined for $750K for promoting his 'crazy' idea that there are only 2 sexes.

Leighton B. U. Grey KC's avatar

I appreciate your point. I am facing similar persecution in Alberta by the AHRC. However, that is not litigation in the context being described by Joly here.

Melanie Joly just wants to be the Minister in charge of Stasi Canada.
