I must confess I didn’t think Putin was going to be going beyond the moves into the two breakaway regions but then again given both Biden’s feckless response and the knowledge that the polling in the US is looking bad for the Democrats who enable him I guess he figured he better grab what he can now before the leadership in the US changes.

And you thought stealing a US election was going to bring back normalcy.


A lot of people are thinking Taiwan is next on the menu figuring that China might see things the same way as Putin, move while America is still weak. Of course it’s a lot harder. You’re talking a D-Day like invasion against a well armed foe that realizes it has nothing to lose by going all out. Additionally such a move is going to have an electric effect on Japan and I suspect China is not all that anxious for either a rearmed or a nuclear armed Japan deciding to calculate if a first strike is necessary.

And please don’t insult me with the “Japan doesn’t have nukes” stuff. Japan has all the technology and expertise to have nukes any time they want them. If they decide on Ash Wednesday (Mar 2nd) that they need nukes they’ll have them before Easter Sunday (April 17th). Of course they would be likely to go the Israel route of not admitting they have the bomb but rest assured if China scares them they will.


There have been a lot of dumb takes on Ukraine from their government asking people to send Russia mean tweets (yeah like Russia cares) to John Kerry worrying about the effect of climate change of this war to worries about the vaccine status of people escaping bombs, however if you had to pick the single most ironic it was Justin Trudeau grandstanding on how Canada would stand firm against Authoritarianism.

Given his actions of the last month this broke irony meters everywhere but I suspect Justin was delighted to have the eyes of the world someplace other than Canada.


Apparently Trudeau’s had picked Senate (70% Trudeau appointed) was going to reject his emergency extension that every member of his party voted for just a few days ago. Additionally the harm to Canadian banks by the freezing of assets of those who dared expressed dissent put a bad taste in people’s mouths.

I think Canada, Truedau and the Banks that backed him up will discover it’s a lot easier to throw away trust and faith then it is to get it back once you’ve tossed it out the window.

Personally I think Any person who keeps money in a Canadian bank is a fool.


Finally let’s point out something that any person should know. Biden provided the funds for Putin’s invasion. As Walter Olsen (via Insty) put it:

Because fuel exports are the basis of the Russian economy, Putin’s war-making capability depends critically on energy prices being high, as they are now. The most effective step countries like the U.S. can take in response does not require sanctions, let alone military action. It’s simply to remove artificial constraints on energy production, especially on relatively clean natural gas. That means removing roadblocks to fracking, pipelines and LNG export facilities that could supply Europe.

The Biden’s Administration’s reaction to this invasion is basically a paraphrase of the episode Yes Prime Minister where the Israeli ambassador tells Jim Hacker that his foreign office in response to an invention by east Yemen: will “make strong diplomatic representations but do nothing” except our diplomatic representations will be weak.

I’ll give the last word to Glenn Reynolds:

 there’s more reason to think that environmentalists and other energy-deniers are on the Russian payroll than there ever was for Trump.

I’m sure Joe & Company got their cut.

I am absolutely outraged by Trudeau’s despicable crackdown on the peaceful freedom trucker’s protest.  What I saw unfold reminded me quite forcefully of incidents that are far too common is totalitarian regimes.  That sort of nonsense has become all too common place the past two years. 

Far too many national leaders have demonstrated similar totalitarian tendencies.  Hundreds of millions have had their most basic rights stripped away in the name of fighting a virus with a greater than 99.7 percent survival rate.  Power hungry politicians have seized on this pandemic as the perfect opportunity to amass total control over their populations.

Trudeau’s seizure of the bank accounts of anyone associated with the freedom convoy, the mass arrest of peaceful protestors, and the trampling of peaceful protesters by police horses is most shocking to us here in the United States because Canada appears to be a country very much like the United States.

As similar as Canada appears to be to the United States, it is lacking one key ingredient, our Constitution, with its Bill of Rights.  Canada’s Constitution is only a shabby copy with a very week Charter of Rights and Freedoms.  It is week because it can be so easily tossed aside by a sniveling coward of a Prime Minister who is faced with a peaceful mass protest.

Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms normally does offer some protection for the freedom of speech and the right to peacefully protest.  It is similar to our Bill of Rights.  However, our Bill of Rights cannot ever be set aside, even during an emergency.  A lot of politicians here would be shocked to learn that fundamental truth.  Our Bill of Rights is the very foundation of our Constitutional Republic. 

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is not held in such high regard in Canada.  The majority of Canadians have no trouble with Trudeau’s despicable actions.  In the US only a majority of Democrats are cheering him along

Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms is missing one absolutely crucial right, the right to bear arms.  If Canada had a Second Amendment, Trudeau would not have been able to crush the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa.  Thanks to the Second Amendment it is impossible for an American president to crush a similar protest here.  Our Second Amendment makes it impossible for politicians to strip away our most fundamental rights,  That is why democrats have been trying to do away with the Second Amendment for decades.

With the panic they have caused over this pandemic, Democrat politicians have been far too successful at manipulating the people of their party into surrendering their most important rights.  Recent polls have shown that independents, and even some of the ordinary members of the Democrat party are getting tired of  Covid restrictions.  That is why the restrictions are being lifted in Democrat controlled States ahead of the Midterms.

It the Democrats here still honored the Bill of Rights, and far more Democrats embraced the Second Amendment, none of the restrictions imposed by Democrats would have been possible

After what we’ve seen up north this week any person who trust their funds in a Canadian Bank is a fool.

Trudeau is taking a lot of heat for these decision but it’s worth noting that his party is backing him up. If they thought he was going to far he would be out but they’re all in for Fascism.

If you ever wondered why the left has worked so hard to get rid of the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans, look at Canada.

If there was ever a moment for a Canadian Provence to decide to declare independence, either Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland now is it.

Imagine what the left would be saying if Trudeau had used these tactics against the violent BLM protesters. In fact anyone who suggested we would be seeing this stuff out of Canada a year ago would have been called mad.

Being the first to connect Trudeau with the word truck, as in the not so polite version of “Let’s Go Brandon,” is another thing I cannot claim credit for.  I first encountered it in this photo, taken by an unknown photographer, which I saw on Facebook.

For more than twenty months I’ve been waiting for organized resistance to all of the Covid tyranny to begin in earnest.  As each month has gone by without widespread revolt I’ve been getting more and more agitated and disheartened.  Because the United States has always been the land of the free, I expected that the people here would have put an end to all of this tyrannical nonsense well over a year ago. 

I got my hopes up too many times, as it appeared that all of these mandates, passports, and lockdowns would all be swept away by an orgy of mass protest, that appeared to be igniting, only to see the flames sputter out.

Finally there appears to be a mass movement, camped out in Ottawa, that could bring an end to the totalitarian nightmare in Canada. 

So far the Canadian Government has not backed down. They are actually considering imposing new mandates.   Trudeau has demonstrated tremendous courage during the mass protest by fleeing to an unknown location.

The protests have been peaceful.  Yet that has not prevented the chief of the Ottawa police from threatening them.

Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly told reporters on Monday that “all options are on the table,” including “enforcement,” to end an ongoing protest led by truckers in the Canadian capital against the country’s onerous anti-coronavirus mandates that Sloly himself admitted had led to no injuries or violence.

These convoys are spreading.  One is planned for Australia, one for the United States, and several in Europe.  Gould this finally be the end of our totalitarian nightmare?
