Oh Can-a-duh!


The title of this piece is the proposed new name for the Canadian National Anthem. The standard “O Canada,” which was proclaimed to be Canada’s national anthem on July 1, 1980, and was first sung in French 100 years earlier has now become passé, because the standard lyrics had referenced “free” multiple times, and that is no longer the case.

The old standard lyrics went as follows:
“Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all of us command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”

As I said, “free” was referenced multiple times, and the new Trudeau-ian government has become the antithesis of “free.” Now in the new Canada you first call people names and refuse to meet with them, before you take away some “freedoms.” Next you freeze bank accounts, cancel credit cards, threaten and ultimately manhandle those who disagree with you. How are any of these Trudeau-Ian actions commensurate with freedom? … Duh, they aren’t!

But it gets worse … more unfreedom.

From The Loop:

Ontario Court Justice Julie Bourgeois denied bail for a key organizer of the Freedom Convoy, telling her: “Your detention is necessary for the protection and safety of the public.” Bourgeois told demonstrator Tamara Lich at the Tuesday ruling: “I cannot be reassured that if I release you into the community that you will not reoffend.”

(Take note of  “because she might ‘reoffend’ if released.”  Isn’t that the case with just about everybody who has been arrested? … Duh!)

So the threat of organizing a peaceful protest keeps you in jail in Canada (ABC News).  Last September, a Canadian man accused of 1st degree murder of a policeman was released on bail (City News).

After reading about all of the new “non-freedoms” in Canada, one of the sayings of Ronald Reagan comes to mind … “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction…” 

Be careful, Americans … be very careful.
