People have become angry with me and my attitude towards the present circumstances that we as Canadians are finding ourselves in the midst of. At no other time in Canadian history, including both wars, has the Canadian people been so abused and violated by their governments. And yet they drink the government Kool-Aid and just accept what is taking place without a whimper.
Before 1983, the government of Canada was the parliament. Parliament discussed and passed laws and other legislations as a body, a whole. Parliament was seen as the government of Canada and the source all that was government.
After 1983, the government of Canada became the prime minister and the cabinet. Their duties were to create legislation, present it to Parliament, but in reality the prime minister and the cabinet were the government and they could decide what is law and what isn't. The seat of government moved from parliament to cabinet and the prime minister.
By act of Parliament, parliament was being pushed aside. Canadians no longer voted for a person to represent the riding in parliament. Instead voters elected someone who would represent the party to the riding, meaning that the voice of the people may been seen but not heard when it came to party politics.
Since the last part of Jean Chretien's rule, into Paul Martin and even Steven Harpers terms as prime ministers, the voice of the people in Parliament was being silenced and only the policies of the party was being heard. But it did not stop there. Even in Steven Harper's terms as prime minister, the voice of the cabinet was disappearing. Now with the reign of justin trudeau, both parliament and cabinet voices are being ignored and nearly silenced as these two institutions are being pushed aside and ignored.
The government of Canada has become the prime minister and his office of unelected cronies. That appears to be the voice of the Canadian government at the present time. Canadian voters no longer elect a person who will represent the party to them, but rather they are now electing a person who will represent the prime minister and his/her office to them. Their voices have been silenced.
At this present time, 2020-2021, it would appear that the government of Canada is the prime minister and the office of paid employees known as the prime minister's office. Everything else has been pushed aside only to be used when necessary to show some form of non-dictatorship.
The present covid-19 pandemic, that has a 90% recovery rate, is being used as a means to an end. People have consumed the Kool-Aid given to them by the prime minister's office, which includes for now doctors and scientists (who by the way agree with the pm's office) and the manipulation of numbers to spread fear and anxiety in the general population.
I am not saying the pandemic is not real. Only a fool would say that. What I am saying is that the Canadian population is being led down a path that they should be be treading down. Canadians have allowed the dictations of the prime minister and the pm's office to decide what they will and will not do. The violations of the Canadian Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms have never been under such a severe attack and contempt as these important pieces of legislation.
The importance of these pieces of legislation is primary to the Canadian legal system from Parliament to the Courts. All laws and legislation must pass through the filters of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution of Canada. The Supreme Court of Canada draws their decision making and rulings based on these filters. That is why I feel it is so important for the Supreme Court of Canada to make a ruling that is binding on even the prime minister and the office of the prime minister. The Supreme Court of Canada must decide if the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution of Canada are written in stone, or on toilet paper to be flushed down the political toilet when ever it pleases them.
What is being set right now, will also determine the rule of the next party that wins the next election and elections after. If parliament and the cabinet continually be pushed aside, and the center of power rests only in the prime minster and the cronies in the prime minister's office, than Canada is no longer a democracy but a "legally voted" dictatorship where elections can be and most likely will be dissolved as well.
It is important for Canadians to stand up and demand a return to Parliamentary rule, where Parliament is the center of government and power. A place where the voice of the people are heard once more, and elected representatives, represent the voice of the people in Parliament once more.
So yes. The Canadian Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are worth standing up for. The voices of all Canadians should be heard. Canadians need to look beyond the corona virus, to pull the curtains back as actually see what is taking place in the name of Canadian Decmocracy.
