It’s clearer every day: the Left is fascist. Leftists love authoritarianism and never engage their opponents on an equal basis as respected opponents. Instead, they demonize them in the most lurid terms, to the extent that they essentially challenge all people who consider themselves to be good, upright, honest, decent citizens to disavow the evil ones or risk being tarred with them as enemies of all that is good. This has played out whenever totalitarians have come to power, and has been playing out again recently in Canada, as Justin Trudeau does away with the freedom of his citizens and arrogates to himself unchallengeable power. On Monday evening, as Canada’s parliament voted in favor of Trudeau’s unjustified and unconstitutional invocation of the Emergencies Act, one Canadian MP stooped lower than all the others in defaming and smearing those who would dare question the Emperor Justin’s authority.
Ya’ara Saks is a Canadian MP from York Centre, Ontario, and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Families, Children, and Social Development. She is, of course, a member Trudeau’s Liberal Party. During the Emergencies Act debate, she declared: “Madam Speaker, I have heard the words of my colleague on the other side of the House. As a Jewish member of Parliament and a descendant of survivors of the Holocaust as well, I, like many Canadians, was shocked to see Nazi and Confederate flags. I was dismayed, angry and horribly hurt.”
To characterize the Freedom Convoy in that way was viciously unfair, but Saks was employed a tried and tested strategy of the Left. The National Socialist and Confederate flags at the protests were widely believed to have been planted in order to discredit the truckers and their allies. Even if genuine Nazis and racists joined the protests, that doesn’t negate the fact that the overwhelming majority of the protestors were patriotic Canadians who were there because they opposed the vaccine mandates and who abhorred Nazism and racism as much as anyone else.
If Saks had been interested in an honest discussion and debate, she would have acknowledged that. But her only objective was to try to intimidate her fellow members of parliament, and all Canadians, into thinking that if they supported the Freedom Convoy, they would be allying with noxious elements that all decent people should reject. This is not genuine debate. It’s just smearing and bullying.
Perhaps anticipating the objection that vanishingly few National Socialist flags were actually seen at the Freedom Convoy protests, Saks continued: “How many Nazi flags does it take? How many donors from the U.S. Capitol riots does it take?”
