Emergencies Act Commission Inquiry: Sharing My View

On April 25, 2022, the Government of Canada established the Public Order Emergency Commission to inquire into the circumstances that led to the declaration of emergency that was in place from February 14-23, 2022, and the measures taken for dealing with the emergency. Justice Paul Rouleau was appointed Commissioner. [https://publicorderemergencycommission.ca/]

The inquiry, required by law, will begin October 13, 2022 and the Commission has invited the public to share their views as described at https://publicorderemergencycommission.ca/share-your-views/

This is my submission, emailed today — September 22, 2022.

Re: Sharing My View

It has been shocking and distressing to see how cavalierly leaders of this nation have treated rights and freedoms guaranteed in our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms AND our Bill of Rights¹; shocking and distressing to witness how leaders so swiftly resorted to escalated power abuse, twisting facts-on-the-ground, and refusing to meet with Canadians peacefully protesting tyrannical rules and mandates — rules and mandates that egregiously violated, not only our Charter and Bill of Rights, but

▪ the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights²
▪ the Nuremberg Code and Principles ³
▪ foundational Common Law⁴
▪ The Declaration of Helsinki⁵
▪ the service oaths of civil servants and law enforcement,⁶
▪ the Emergencies Act itself⁷
▪ plus other provincial and federal legislation.

In addition, it has been especially shocking and distressing to witness the targeting, maligning, and oppression of flag-bearing Canadians on the pretexts of “emergency,” “safety,” and alleged concern for international confidence and reputation when it was the unjustified “emergency” actions of the Canadian government that provoked massive non-confidence in the integrity of government and the Canadian banking system.

I donated a small amount⁸ to the Freedom Convoy and was stunned by the fabrications put forth to “justify” freezing bank accounts. My account was not frozen, but others were. The extent that the government was prepared to go to quash and malign honest, peaceful dissent was alarming. I had flashbacks to scenes from Sinclair Lewis', It Can't Happen Here.⁹ The willingness of law enforcement to carry out unlawful orders with excessive force was also distressing. Who are we? Have our protectors become our oppressors? Will the coercion and intimidation ever end? Will our mobility rights be forever compromised despite our passport assurance of the right:

“to pass freely without delay or hindrance and [that officials are directed] to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary”?

After witnessing the past two plus years of power abuse, capped by the “Emergencies Act,” my confidence in the integrity of government, public health, main-stream media, and law enforcement is gone. We seem to have transformed into a bully culture addicted to surveillance, coercion, intimidation, snitching, hypocrisy, blind obedience, and to the pursuit of collective control of thought, association, assembly, mobility, speech, and so forth. We have become a nation pretending to have rights and freedoms — pretending because they can be constrained or stripped away in an instant (as we have witnessed) to punish questioners of government narratives and to augment unlawful power. The concern of “what next” is now an ever-present undercurrent of daily life. With the divisive and inflammatory language of the Emergencies Act actors and supporters, what is to prevent a new Kristallnacht, except absolute condemnation and severe consequence?

I ask this Commission to investigate the possible treasonous conflict of interest of PM Trudeau and DPM Freeland as it relates to the declaration of the Emergencies Act. Where did the directive to invoke the Emergencies Act come from? Was there foreign influence? advisement? coercion? Will this Commission ask the questions that others seem afraid to ask despite clear evidence of:

1) the enthusiastic, public statement by a foreign actor that Canada's cabinet was “penetrated” with graduates (“more than half” including PM Trudeau and DPM Freeland) of a global leadership program¹⁰ with a published agenda¹¹ that conflicts with the interests, rights and freedoms of sovereign Canadians?
2) Deputy PM Freeland's appointment as a trustee of the World Economic Forum¹² where she is obligated to serve “as the guardian of the World Economic Forum’s mission and values”[?]

As you fulfill your Commission duties, please remember this historical and poli-sci truth:

“We will never understand the events of our time until we acknowledge that the obsessive pursuit and protection of power, gain, glory, and domination has plagued every age of history.”

Sincerely,
