In an emotional video Thursday night, anticipating her arrest, Freedom Convoy Organizer Tamara Lich tearfully urged Canadians to “stay strong and continue to be unified and spread the love.”.She asked people to pray for and forgive all who viciously turned on the peaceful truckers, their children, even their dogs, first with putrid lies then with force..Even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau..“He has three beautiful children…Remember that…We don’t have to like what he does. But I’m going to ask you to pray for him too,” said Lich, knowing she’d be jailed for the crime of fighting for freedom. .Shortly after, she was handcuffed and carted away..I tried praying for Trudeau, albeit, through gritted teeth, fighting off waves of disgust. .It’s safe to assume prayers like that don’t make it to the big prayer bowl in the heavens..Trudeau abuses Canadians, shows disdain for the rule of law, and discards the good and decent principles of this country fallen victim to the whims of a drama teacher turned dictator. .However, more than he is loathed across this great nation for his senseless tyranny, Trudeau is to be pitied..He let an opportunity slip through his vengeful fingers. Those steely, sometimes vacant eyes didn’t see the gift before him..A world beaten down by two years of bad COVID-19 decisions and choking madness looked to Canada’s Freedom Convoy 2022 with admiration, hope, and renewed strength..Trudeau could have seized the opportunity to meet with the truckers, fix things, achieve greatness. Taken credit..No longer would he have to rummage through his purse trying to look busy because other leaders at world summits didn’t think him important enough to chat with..Instead, he answered the call for fewer mandates by hammering Canada with more mandates and chilling new rules to allow arrests and freeze bank accounts..Maybe he’s driven by ego. Maybe it’s desire to please Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum pushing the dangerous Great Reset globally..Schwab has bragged about conquering governments by “penetrating cabinets” with Young Global Leaders, specifically mentioning Trudeau and “even more than half of his cabinet.”.Now Trudeau’s bad leadership is ridiculed, criticized, and mocked worldwide, more than before..But Trudeau’s not solely to blame for this sickening fiasco unfolding on Parliament Hill. .Horrific scenes of hundreds of armed police moving in on peaceful protesters with gas masks and tear-gas guns is the result of the perfect storm resulting from the actions and inaction of a multitude of players — politicians, police, and media..All politicians — most Liberals, the whole NDP lot, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole — who enabled the senseless, ongoing mandates to be inflicted on Canadians are to blame..NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh furiously fans the flames of division. Shame on the leader of a party that claims to stand for the common worker. Those days are gone. .One question for Conservative politicians now boldly objecting to Canada being crushed. Where have you been?.Former Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly dutifully stood before cameras condemning peaceful truckers singing O Canada amid bouncy castles. Sloly bellowed about this and that fabricated, grave threat..Where did his questionable read on the law get him? He was forced to resign when he wasn’t useful enough. .Police descended on Parliament Hill in riot gear to intimidate and arrest protesters. Tough guy cops smashed windows of rigs and RVs with their guns. .Right now, it’s so hard to hold onto the adamantly pro-police stand held all my life..Strength in numbers may make them temporarily forget oaths they took to uphold Canada’s laws. Real laws. Not laws Trudeau and his minions fabricated in vindictive desperation. .Police may justify their actions as following orders. When they take off the riot gear, go home, look at their kids, then look in the mirror — what do they see?.It’s no surprise to see mainstream media gleefully salivating over the prospect of protesters being manhandled, and hopefully, beaten. .The U.S. media reported that Summer of Love protests by radical Antifa and BLM thugs were peaceful while buildings torched by arsonists were engulfed in flames behind them..Canadian mainstream media breathlessly reported wild accusations about the violent, racist truckers and their activities..They’ve lied all along..They mockingly call it a “so-called” Freedom Convoy. How childish..A gutter low point in the history of the Parliamentary Press Gallery came when this collection of pitiful Karens said they feared the truckers..They were provided taxpayer-funded armed guards to protect them from truckers busy handing out food to homeless shelters. .“This letter is to express the deep concern of the Gallery regarding the safety of our members,” Catherine Lйvesque, the gallery president, wrote Parliament, said Blacklock’s Reporter.“Some of our members have been harassed by protesters of the truck convoy in the last few days,” wrote Lйvesque, a National Post reporter. .Harassed? Or merely told to get lost because they proved themselves dishonest lemmings with an agenda?.What a grotesque insult to media charging into real danger to report truth — war zones, natural disasters — some never to return..Lich, whose reputation was viciously attacked with vile lies, asked everyone to pray for police, politicians, and media — that perfect storm. .Stay strong. All storms pass..Slobodian is the Senior Manitoba Columnist for the Western Standard.lslobodian@westernstandardonline.com
