Under this socialist revolution, there is no need to confiscate your property — they can simply redistribute your wealth

Ever since Justin Trudeau tried to grant himself king-like powers at the beginning of the COVID crisis, what we have been witnessing in Canada is a socialist coup that we, the taxpayers, are funding.

Trudeau is perceived as an evangelist for a new type of 21st-century socialism

With a $343-billion deficit, Canada has started on a perpetual debt scheme reminiscent of Argentina. Even more concerning is that COVID relief has ballooned into non-health-related issues like favouring «green energy initiatives» over natural resource development. All of these unanswered questions raise queries about the hidden agenda behind providing a guaranteed income of $24,000 per year to able-bodied, working-age Canadians, at an annual cost to the taxpayer of $464.5 billion. Trudeau has stated clearly that he wants Canada to be a «post-national» country.

Many Canadians rightly fear the repercussions of Trudeau transforming Canada into a cashless society.

The truth is maybe more insidious

There is no need for an official social credit score when the government is already picking and choosing which businesses can be open and which ones can’t, and which jobs are essential. Looking back on the Canada Summer Jobs debacle we see the Liberals had already taken their first shot at controlling who was worthy of government support based on personal beliefs. They simply hide behind government bureaucracy to do it. Canadians rightly fear that this authoritarian socialist agenda will be so insidious, there will be no need to throw dissenters in jail because new societal protocols can be put in place and those who fail to obey the ever-changing societal «norms» can simply be fined or jailed for minor infractions.
