Will Justin Trudeau follow in his father’s footsteps and resign on Feb. 29? — Raymond J. de Souza
“ It is not fit that you should sit here any longer. You have sat here too long for any good you have been doing lately … In the name of God go.“
So spoke Oliver Cromwell to the British parliament in 1653. The result was the “protectorate” — a dictatorship in all but name. And that is the risk of a government that becomes increasingly out of touch with the needs and wishes of the people it governs.

Which brings us to today.
In the United States, a long running shift towards ever increasing social engineering has created a backlash — one that, ignored too long by those inside the Washington beltway, has led not only to Donald Trump, but the even worse groups who, for example, threaten to jail doctors who perform medically-necessary abortions if politicians and judges happen to disagree with the medical opinions of experts.
In Canada, the government has not merely become deaf and blind to the plight of Canadians — it is now actively prohibiting Canadians from defending themselves by, for example, unilaterally shutting down the Winnipeg labs inquiry, postponing amendments to the Emergencies Act, and threatening to jail people who might possibly be planning to criticize it.
It is too much. In the name of Canada, go.
