A couple of days ago Canadian “conservative” Andrew Lawton, who is affiliated with Candace Malcolm’s True North, described the lengths to which the World Economic Forum was willing to go to assure that only journalists of whom they approved could attend their annual meeting. Before announcing the dates of that event [May22-26], the WEF apparently booked every available hotel room in Davos, Switzerland, thereby allowing it to make attendance for those on their hit list extremely inconvenient. While Lawton cites a number of other measures taken by the conference organizers to exclude those who might comment unfavorably on their agenda, he insists he will do everything in his power to be there.
Today, May 19, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation reported that Justin Trudeau had arbitrarily terminated parliamentary debate on Bill C-11, the bill designed to give his government the power to censor “hate speech” [i.e., speech of which it does not approve]. Significant, is it not, that a bill designed to stifle Free Speech has itself been pushed forward by an abrogation of parliamentary procedure!
So many former “liberals” have now moved to the Right, Americans as diverse as Condoleezza Rice and Dave Rubin among them. Elon Musk, who swears he has always voted Democrat, says he will not be doing so in the future. Bill Mahr, who says it is not he who has changed but the “woke” Left, has become highly critical of what he sees as the outrageous tendency of that sector to try and stifle Free Speech. It is a fascist inclination evident from Switzerland to Ottawa to Washington D.C.. If Trump is the simple-minded monster he is purported to be, his return to Twitter, as promised by Musk, will be his undoing. Let the people decide. Inasmuch as their will was deemed by the architects of Democracy to be its fundamental driving force, why, one must wonder, are those on the Left so determined to deny them access to all points of view. Is their lowly vision of the species, as evident in their disdain for populism, warranted, or is it the exposure of the superficiality of their Neo-Marxist assumptions that in fact terrifies them?
