Ottawa Declares State of Emergency, Freedom is a Threat to Democracy

The single biggest threat to democracy is freedom.

RT:

Ottawa mayor Jim Watson has declared a state of emergency, citing “serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents,” as Freedom Convoy truckers and their pedestrian supporters continue to occupy the capital. The move comes after Watson lamented earlier on Sunday that police have been outnumbered by the demonstrators, and indicated he wants the federal government to help quash the protest.

“The situation at this point is completely out of control because the individuals with the protest are calling the shots,” Watson told Newstalk radio. “They have far more people than we have police officers and I’ve indicated to the chief that we have to be much more nimble and proactive when it comes to these activities.”

“Declaring a state of emergency reflects the serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents posed by the ongoing demonstrations and highlights the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government.”

Before announcing the emergency, Watson pleaded with the federal government to “sit down and have some kind of a discussion, some kind of mediation to get this situation resolved because it’s now spreading across the country.”

We have to protect our democracy at all costs, because that is who we are.

That means we have to always be on guard for expressions of freedom, which are a threat to every angle of our values.

This freedom is spreading across the country, and threatens to implode the entire system of democracy that we have worked so hard to build.

We need to focus on border security in the Ukraine. We need to focus on stopping Joe Rogan. We don’t have time to be explaining to subhuman peasant trash why they can’t have any freedom.

If we don’t stop this now, we risk becoming an autocracy like China where people are just pretty much allowed to do whatever they want as long as they’re not bothering anyone.

There is no way we are going to get to a utopia by abandoning our fundamental values that the government has an absolute right to control and micromanage every aspect of your personal life.

This is about saving lives.

People are dying.

That’s not who we are.

I hate to say it, but at this point, Justin Trudeau has no choice but to call in the Decepticons, and teach these trucker scum that we won’t stand for freedom or any other threat to the values of our democracy.
