Nice analogy. I may have to borrow it.

That's why most Canadians can't (or won't) recognize it when they see it because they don't know what they're seeing happen right in front of their faces. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

I would say our youth inherited the freedom many died for, yes. They do learn about it at school as it is part of the curriculum. They are inundated with information of this nature every year during the week leading up to remembrance day. We need to have a bit more faith in this demographic. They have known nothing but freedom, and would know quickly if it were taken away. They are much more technologically savvy and would coordinate efforts much quicker than generations past.

What the issue looks to be is a small group of people are worried the sky is falling when no such thing is happening. Yet they are screaming at the top of their lungs to get attention for their paranoid driven beliefs.

Of course their is the odd chance that this is all a dream, and none of it is real.
Good old time and patience will figure this one out.

Democracy left Canada about 6 years ago

Come now GW, there will be a chance to vote and help form the future of Canada. We will all have our chance. Democracy is strong in Canada, but I think so is the level of mixed emotions or even general unhappiness. This too shall pass.

The problem is Canada elects a dictator each time and this time it was an actual dictatorship admirer, once in Canadians just have no way to recall or kick out a politician once they are elected if they have a majority or support of another party with the same goals. Rex Murphy and Jordan Peterson give an excellent discussion of the disaster we have now.

I am sure the supporters of the National Socialists said that too in 1933 when the Enabling Act was put in place.

I disagree - not sure what the rest of you are seeing but my 12 and 10 year old tell me things that make me think they’re being indoctrinated with left-wing ideology. The lessons of history are not being passed on

What you see in Canada is a copy cat of what happened on Capitol Hill with again the right taking the law into their own hands and attempting in both instances to overthrow a duly elected government.
In both instances they failed, our Government did not call in the militia but gave the citizens three weeks to go away.
Even after three weeks when the police were used they did not use excessive force.

If I was to chose between what happened in Ottawa and lets say Kent State University where unarmed students were gunned down, I think I chose Canada.

Honestly Gilroy ??? I saw a peaceful protest, yes with some inconvenience for some residents which is regrettable but NECESSARY

you can bet your last dollar that if that protest was supporting Black Lives Matter, or LGBTQ rights, or First Nations, young Justin would be defending their rights of protest and likely flipping burgers to feed them.

While the schools can’t cover every last piece of information, the main themes and ideas are covered. Of course it doesn’t hurt to supplement their education with some in-depth information from parents.

I do wonder, what kind of left wing indoctrination?

It’s not the protest. I’m not sure why people think that was the issue. It was the trucks and rv’s camping on a public road and blocking it that was the problem. If the campers and trucks left, the protest would still be going on without any emergencies act. Seriously!:

The protestors made their point in the first weekend. When they decided to entrench themselves in downtown Ottawa vowing to remain until they got what they wanted their actions went beyond a protest and became an illegal occupation that disrupted the lives and businesses of the people who live there. The rights of the people in Ottawa to live peacefully in their community outweighs the rights of protestors to squat in their streets indefinitely.
