In speaking truth to tyranny, it is necessary to expose both the immorality and historical record of socialism, its most widely recognized cause.
Despite its destructive consequences, the popularity of socialism persists, and this does not bode well for those who adopt socialism. As Senegal’s Magatte Wade illustrates, Africa’s poverty and tyranny are a direct consequence of “the deadly ideology of socialism,” an ideology also being practiced in Canada.
In fact, Canada’s recent political history provides a testimony to the tyranny caused by socialism, a tyranny not so unlike that which has been experienced in Africa.
The Freedom Convoy in 2022 provided both a literal and symbolic example of just how far from a free democracy Canada had drifted. Peacefully organized to oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates along with all COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns, the Canadian government responded to the convoy and other protestors with force.
From Justin Trudeau’s open support for Communist China’s dictatorship, to the Canadian government’s support for the war in Ukraine, to Mark Carney’s plans to allow the government to open private mail and to make illegal any cash transactions of $10,000 or more, Canada’s identity as a full-fledged tyranny is becoming a fait accompli.
Throughout it all, there have been no voices within parliament willing to even speak about the crisis, let alone do something about it. This is understandable, given that parliamentary MPs of all political parties supported the undemocratic and illegal actions of the government against its citizens.
However, as a consequence of the last federal election, that dynamic has now changed.
Vowing to speak truth to power, two new voices calling to hold those accountable for the injustice wrought upon Canadians have recently been added to Canada’s House of Commons: Matt Strauss, representing the riding of Kitchener South-Hespler, and Andrew Lawton, representing the riding of Elgin-St Thomas-London South.
Their maiden speeches in the House of Commons were unlike anything heard from any federal political party, let alone from representatives of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC). The CPC’s recent past policies and support of the Liberal agenda – from war to Covid to climate change policies – were the very things condemned by each.
Explicitly identifying and condemning socialism as the root cause of Canada’s dysfunction, both MPs made it clear that the state’s “assault of freedom will not stand” and that “repackaging socialist plans in banker’s socks” is not fooling any of the legal immigrants who came to Canada to escape socialism.
It will be very interesting to see how the CPC under Pierre Poilievre will treat its MPs who express ideas that the CPC would not allow only a few short years ago.
One thing is certain: the more voices speaking out against socialism in a way that is Just Right, the better the odds of holding those accountable for all the things they did that were just wrong.
