Was Nikita Khrushchev right in what he said so many years ago?

 Not too many people will likely remember the speech made by Nikita Khrushchev so many years ago, there he said "Russia doesn't need to invade the United States.  It will rot from with in and all we have to do is wait." (my paraphrase).   At the time everyone laughed, believing that his speech was just another speech made during the cold war of the 1950s to the fall of communism in Eastern Europe.

With the present "pandemic", governments around the world have exercised their authoritative powers to lock down countries.  It is interesting to note that the Canadian media have not mentioned a thing about the rulings going on in the European courts.  Courts apparently in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, and Spain have ruled that the authoritative powers exercised in these countries are unconstitutional and have been told to stop and return peoples rights and freedoms.

In Canada however, no such action has happened.  The courts are split in what powers the government is allowed to have.  The more serious the case, the less anyone hears, and the courts seem to be silent so far.

Canadians haves watched as governments in Canada including the federal government have used every means possible to gain fresh powers, giving them the authoritative powers they "claim to need" in order to make everyone safe.   That is just it.  The phrase "to make everyone safe" has been tossed around so much that people are believing this brand of political Kool-Aid.  The idea that the government at any level knows what's best for the population is the biggest lie being told.  Each level of government has already been moving to include regulations made by Order in Council that will affect every Canadian.

For example in Ontario, it was discovered that an Order in Council made changes to the labour laws in Ontario.  While getting a covid-19 vaccine is optional, those who haven't been vaccinated and do not have a "vaccination passport" may be suspended without pay at the discretion of the employer.  This was discovered just recently and already labour lawyers are looking into the constitutionality of such a regulation.

By the way, a regulation made by an Order in Council means that the minister in charge of a portfolio can make a regulation (law technically) without first going through parliament to be discussed and voted upon.  This is commonly used and can be changed or withdrawn by any new government or changes made as desired by a sitting government minister.

Canadians have found themselves living in an authoritarian country.   The sitting governments apparently have the support of the majority of citizens as seen in the many government paid for surveys being conducted.  Yes that's right -- government paid for surveys.  This means that the questions have been deliberately designed to reach the desired objectives of the persons who paid for the survey.  Using these specially designed surveys as a means of "citizen support", the governments continue to move ahead into their frame work of authoritarian power gathering.

Is the question posed as the title of this posting correct?  Is Canada rotting from within only to become a form of authoritarian country?  I certainly believe that Canada has started down that road and the governments at all levels will do everything they can to keep it that way.  You don't hear any opposition to the programing coming from any of the opposition parties.  Not one has made this an issue.  In fact members of the parties that have said something, have found themselves sitting as independents.  It was certainly made factual with premier ford when his party grabbed some extra power for later use after the pandemic has been lifted.

That is another interesting point.  In the Constitution Act of 1983, it clearly states that the government of the day, which is made up of only the prime minister and his/her cabinet, have the ability to deem what is a national problem is (pandemic) and how long it will last, and what kind of powers it can decided to use.  Even though trudeau has a minority government, notice he has been governing like he has a majority as a "benevolent dictator".
