COVID-19
Confidence or Non-Confidence?
I was particularly struck by a piece that Blaine Calkin wrote today on the premise that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau does not want an opposition, he wants an audience. He also stated that without potential oversight on the activities of the Liberal government through a House of Commons mechanism, that the parties who agree with the hybrid parliament consider themselves functionally non-essential due to their lack of commitment to work on the behalf of Canadians through our present state of leadership crisis.
To these points, I heartily agree.
If we consider the state of the country, with Health Officials running the tables with their rotating messages of fear (wear those masks) and inconsistency (Walmart is fine but don’t consider opening a church or playground) and our Prime Minister working from home despite being clear, then we clearly have a leadership crisis.
I will discuss these topics one at a time to not present a confused message.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is back at work after being hospitalized with Covid 19. Mr. Trudeau is still not fully back at work after exposure months ago.
President Trump is working hard and taking preventative measures while tackling hard issues of opening the economy up and dealing with potential vaccines and other treatments. Mr. Trudeau is very cautious about opening the economy up, while simultaneously financing Canada’s citizens hobbies and watching the economic health of Canada spiral into unheard of debt numbers. Yet a mere 5 years ago, there was a surplus….
Sunny Days Justin has turned a roaring economy into a mere shadow of its former self through loathsome policies aimed at the energy sector. He has mushroomed immigration numbers while promising untold billions of dollars to other countries and organizations to promote policies he just cannot in Canada.

Press Conference
Mr. Trudeau, through his hand-picked press conference attendees, can announce anything without fear of retribution or tough questions. Rebel News has recently sued the Privy Council to gain access to press conferences as they have been singled out for exclusion from public discussions.
The $1 billion dollar media buoy up has had the effect of locking Liberal control of media; now only the information that the government wants out gets out, and they do not have to worry about media pressure as Al Jazeera doesn’t ask tough questions.
In short, the present Liberal regime has now institutionalized censorship.
South of our borders, Mr. Trump welcomes tough questions. It provides opportunity to educate, and sometimes to use sarcasm, a tool which may soon become illegal in Canada to make solid points.
Mr. Johnson also was not afraid of media outcry and public disapproval upon his return to work.
Mr. Trudeau, fresh off his morning nap and jammy snack, seems unable and unwilling to answer tough questions. In fact, he seems almost disinterested in running a democracy anymore.
With regards to the perception that Liberals, Bloc Members and the NDP do not consider themselves to be essential to Canada, that is very astute. However, with the decision to back the ruling Liberals in their hybrid parliament as a combination of live and virtual MPs, any effort to provide real opposition and discussion on the difficult decisions that are being made without interference or question has been nullified.
If Walmart, Superstore and Liquor store employees can go to work as essential services, then the civil servants who were elected better get off their couch, put on their suits and work clothes and get to work!
If they are not willing to do that, then resign and get a job where you don’t have any responsibility to the public that pays your wages.
Using the logic that civil servants have been given, soldiers who fought in wartime should have stayed home just in case a stray bullet might get them, or dysentery or malaria or some equally dangerous malady infect them in the cold, wet trenches. I, for one, am pleased that they did not. They were afraid, but they went to fight and free the world!
Staying home and fiddling while the country descends into informational, organizational and economic chaos is cowardly!
The very frightening aspect of this situation is what the final cost will be once Dr. Tam and other authorities declare it safe to be in public without masks and force fields. Decisions like closing the world down and watching while Rome burns should not have been in the hands of the W.H.O. and medical officials. A real solution should have involved every field of expertise from economics to education and been very limited in its powers granted to governments.
Looking at the various components of society that were deemed essential, it is very interesting that retail, grocery stores, manufacturing, food supply and distribution and health services were included. Spiritual homes like churches and mosques were not considered essential, yet throughout history, when crisis hit nations, people turn to GOD first, not their local pet store or liquor distributor when it gets really tough.
Financially speaking, with the power that a fully functioning prime minister is supposed to have, where are his calls to the banks and financial institutions to not just stall payments but really help by cutting interest rates and forgive debts where necessary in this time? The banks will still make money but instead of calling on the banks to be part of the solution, Minister Morneau and Prime Minister Trudeau have and are allowing banks to continue their pillage of everyday Canadians!
Immigration wise, it is reprehensible to continue to allow immigrants into Canada who will be on the public payroll for many years while we as a country struggle with the legacy of this epidemic. Mr. Trudeau should immediately STOP all immigration for a period of 2 years until regular Canadians are more stable! If he does not, he is not serving Canada first!!!
With so many issues (other than the ones I have mentioned), swirling around the Liberal handling of the Covid 19 event, in support of the best solution and strategies to work though the nationally imposed regulations (not laws) I find it very interesting that in a time when we are to work together to find a solution that we are not.
With MPs staying home, and quickly imposed Covid 19 financial safety nets coming out of the sky, the future of Canada is not looking bright. As a concerned citizen, I offer one more solution to our dilemma.
Close your eyes and imagine a world without a Liberal government in Ottawa….
As a country, we are in a wartime state and we have no wartime leader. There are no inspiring speeches or every MP working together to solve problems and shore each other up. As a country, we need a leader to take charge and work for the best of Canada, not U.N. Policies and W.H.O. mandates.
There is one way this can be accomplished.
Non-confidence.
What would happen IF every Conservative MP went to Ottawa and called a non-confidence vote IN the house? Hmmm, it would be a disaster wouldn’t it.
Clean slate…Democracy? You bet.
While the present situation is dangerous, I prefer a Canadian future without the Liberals and their international masters running our Country. I prefer a country that looks to Canada first, not the U.N or other international groups.
There is talk of many major U.S. political crime families who meddle in politics in our country. The Soros Foundation and the Tides Foundation need to go. Eliminate the weakest link in our country and we stand a better chance of becoming the Canada we once were.
If I were to be able to have the ear of Mr. Sheer for five minutes, I would humbly ask him to be the leader we know he can be and topple this puppet government!
My vote is obvious, what is yours?

Judge denies Canadian gov’t request to take away Freedom Convoy leader’s truck
From LifeSiteNews
A judge ruled that the Ontario Court of Justice is already ‘satisfied’ with Chris Barber’s sentence and taking away his very livelihood would be ‘disproportionate.’
A Canadian judge has dismissed a demand from Canadian government lawyers to seize Freedom Convoy leader Chris Barber’s “Big Red” semi-truck.
On Friday, Ontario Court of Justice Judge Heather Perkins-McVey denied the Crown’s application seeking to forfeit Barber’s truck.
She ruled that the court is already “satisfied” with Barber’s sentence and taking away his very livelihood would be “disproportionate.”
“This truck is my livelihood,” said Barber in a press release sent to LifeSiteNews.
“Trying to permanently seize it for peacefully protesting was wrong, and I’m relieved the court refused to allow that to happen,” he added.
Criminal defense lawyer Marwa Racha Younes was welcoming of the ruling as well, stating, “We find it was the right decision in the circumstances and are happy with the outcome.”
John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), said the decision is “good news for all Canadians who cherish their Charter freedom to assemble peacefully.”

“Asset forfeiture is an extraordinary power, and it must not be used to punish Canadians for participating in peaceful protest,” he added in the press release.
As reported recently by LifeSiteNews, the Canadian government claimed that Barber’s truck is an “offence-related property” relating to his involvement in the 2022 protests against Canada’s COVID mandates.
At this time, the court ruling ends any forfeiture proceedings for the time being, however Barber will continue to try and appeal his criminal conviction and house arrest sentence.
Barber’s truck, a 2004 Kenworth long-haul he uses for business, was a focal point in the 2022 protests. He drove it to Ottawa, where it was parked for an extended period of time, but he complied when officials asked him to move it.
On October 7, 2025, after a long trial, Ontario Court Justice Perkins-McVey sentenced Barber and Tamara Lich, the other Freedom Convoy leader, to 18 months’ house arrest. They had been declared guilty of mischief for their roles as leaders of the 2022 protest against COVID mandates, and as social media influencers.
Lich and Barber have filed appeals of their own against their house arrest sentences, arguing that the trial judge did not correctly apply the law on their mischief charges.
Government lawyers for the Crown have filed an appeal of the acquittals of Lich and Barber on intimidation charges.
The pair’s convictions came after a nearly two-year trial despite the nonviolent nature of the popular movement.

Freedom Convoy protester appeals after judge dismissed challenge to frozen bank accounts
From LifeSiteNews
Protestor Evan Blackman’s legal team argues Trudeau’s Emergencies Act-based bank account freezes were punitive state action tied directly to protest participation.
A Freedom Convoy protester whose bank accounts were frozen by the Canadian government says a judge erred after his ruling did not consider the fact that the funds were frozen under the Emergencies Act, as grounds for a stay of proceedings.
In a press release sent out earlier this week, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said that Freedom Convoy protestor Evan Blackman will challenge a court ruling in his criminal case via an appeal with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
“This case raises serious questions about how peaceful protest is treated in Canada and about the lasting consequences of the federal government’s unlawful use of the Emergencies Act,” noted constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury. “The freezing of protestors’ bank accounts was part of a coordinated effort to suppress dissent, and courts ought to be willing to scrutinize that conduct.”
Blackman was arrested on February 18, 2022, during the police crackdown on Freedom Convoy protests against COVID restrictions, which was authorized by the Emergencies Act (EA). The EA was put in place by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, which claimed the protests were violent, despite no evidence that this was the case.
Blackman’s three bank accounts with TD Bank were frozen due to his participation in the Freedom Convoy, following a directive ordered by Trudeau.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, in November of this year, Blackman was convicted at his retrial even though he had been acquitted at his original trial. In 2023, Blackman’s “mischief” and “obstructing police” charges were dismissed by a judge due to lack of evidence and the “poor memory of a cop regarding key details of the alleged criminal offences.”
His retrial resulted in Blackman getting a conditional discharge along with 12 months’ probation and 122 hours of community service, along with a $200 victim fine surcharge.
After this, Blackman’s application for a stay of proceedings was dismissed by the court. He had hoped to have his stay of proceedings, under section 24(1) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, allowed. However, the judge ruled that the freezing of his bank accounts was legally not related to his arrest, and because of this, the stay of proceedings lacked standing.
The JCCF disagreed with this ruling, noting, it “stands in contrast to a Federal Court decision finding that the government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was unreasonable and violated Canadians’ Charter rights, including those targeted by the financial measures used against Freedom Convoy protestors.”
As of press time, a hearing date has not been scheduled.
In 2024, Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that Trudeau was “not justified” in invoking the Emergencies Act.
In early 2022, the Freedom Convoy saw thousands of Canadians from coast to coast come to Ottawa to demand an end to COVID mandates in all forms. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Trudeau’s federal government enacted the EA in mid-February.
After the protesters were cleared out, which was achieved through the freezing of bank accounts of those involved without a court order as well as the physical removal and arrest of demonstrators, Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23, 2022.
