Are we being duped by the governments through the media? To be honest, the answer is yes.
Over the last few years, there has been an understanding the governments know what is best for the people. Let's face it, Canadians have been taught over the decades that the government will take care of you from birth until death. For the average Canadian this has not been all that bad. The need for a "social net" has been important in the development of programs to ensure the needs of the people are being met, whether this is through universal health care, universal welfare, and other programs including "universal senior pensions, where through taxes the people of Canada have been looked after. Yes the system has been taken advantage of as the idea of the programs was thought to be similar to putting money in the bank to be used later on. There is nothing wrong with this understanding of socialism in Canada. In fact to be honest in many ways, Canada is a socialist country being contained in a concept of democratic rule.
But this has changed and changed greatly as we have discovered when covid-19 entered into Canadian vocabulary. So called "professionals" have replaced members of the cabinet in all levels of federal and provincial governments. There is no longer a need to consult cabinet ministers when discussing the direction the province or the country should take. Canada has become a nation of "dictators" and no one has barely batted a eye. The so called "writing on the wall" has been ignored by nearly everyone.
When the premier of Ontario says that he and the cabinet have had discussions, the reality is that he and health professionals and scientist professionals have been discussing issues of direction and now he is relating those directions to the cabinet who are expected to support his understanding of the direction the professionals have indicated.
At the federal level, the cabinet as well as parliament have been pushed aside and the prime minister and his select office staff who have consulted the so called professionals, are making the decisions on the direction of the country.
What is important here is the choosing of professionals. For every doctor or scientist or health professionals, the leader of the party in power is choosing whom they will listen to. The professionals who support the direction of the party leader will be listened too because it is in the best interest of the party leader to maintain control. It has been interesting to note that professionals who do not support the government's direction are pushed to the side, are made to look like agitators, or professionals that should not be trusted. Again covid-19 has born this out.
Once the government has decided who is creditable and who isn't, then the media are instructed to reveal what the governments wishes. There is no real freedom of the press in Canada to be honest, and main stream media have become dependent on government hand outs. News is no longer reported but is rather created so that it lines up with government policies. To be sure, as much as we may like or not like Donald Trump, the media have gone out of their way in Canada even, to teach people to hate Donald Trump. When one views all the evidence that has come to light even after events, the democrat party has been at the bottom of the protests, supporting anti-Trump campaigns, and a continual working behind the scenes to bring down the government of Donald Trump.
The public will do as they are being directed by the media which has become the propaganda agencies for liberal/socialist parties with an agenda to control the population into the "right kind of thinking" whereby leaders like Trudeau and even Doug Ford have established themselves as dictators while pushing aside parliaments and cabinet ministers.
It does not really matter what party is in power anymore. It can be liberal, conservative, green, or ndp. The leader calls the shots, the media are expected to be the propaganda machines as the party leaders make all the choices and policies. Canadians no longer elect a person to represent them in parliament. Canadians elect a person who represents the party leader to them, giving the leader absolute control and Canadians do as they are told.
