For me, it was the trucker protests. I spent hours and hours watching livestreams and then comparing that to the coverage in the mainstream media. (Overwhelmingly from what I saw, there were ZERO problems until the police showed up and started raising a fuss.)

Trudeau refused to meet with the protestors (had "covid", he said) and then declared them terrorists and froze bank accounts and donations. (Even from Americans.) Here's one of many articles I wrote at the time about what this portends for all of us:

This is 100% what the Biden/Harris faction of the Democrats had in store for "insurrectionist" Republicans. And now we see the banning of candidates/overturning elections in Belgium and Germany.

TL;DR: I pay attention to Canada because that's our future in America if we're not careful.

Same here.

It was the trucker protests, and the subsequent repression by the Canadian government that got me interested. (Debanking???!!! Come on, Canada!)

Agree that Canada foreshadows our own future.

Same. Trucker protests and debanking. The constant attempt to smear as Nazi’s…

In any totalitarian situation, you will see patterns across the board.

Remember the way all of the Western nations were in bizarre lockstep during COVID0-mania? It never really stopped.

This lockstep behaviour can be seen in the Cluster-B disorders too. A Cluster-B type in one country will behave in much the same bizarre way as a Cluster-B type stranger in another country.

One of the creepiest aspects of the Covid era was the way that most nations just fell into line over alleged Covid mitigation efforts. Seeing the same reaction from multinational corporations also freaked me out.

It was like almost everyone had been hypnotized.

I read a Holocaust memoir in grade 5 or 6, and never stopped asking how/why 60+ million Germans went collectively mad/evil in the 1930s. Then I grew up and studied it all.

The phenomenon appeared again in lesser numbers in the cult craziness of the 70s. Further appearances as various renditions of Neo-Marxism.

And then COVID-mania came along and minds were captured en masse.

This is not a one-off. It has been encountered throughout our history on earth. Although mass communication has had the effect of spreading it at lightning speed across vast distances.

I wondered that about Nazi Germany, East Germany, China under Mao, and the USSR under Stalin (after reading Gulag Archipelago).

Then Covid happened.

Nazism and Communism are political versions of totalitarianism. COVID-mania was a non-political version of the same phenomenon. Although when it progressed far enough, it did become political rather than a public health issue.

They were bought off. Starting with the WHO and trickling down from there. Once the narrative hit the rank-and-file (at say, the CDC), they were going to "follow the science" -- even if what they were saying was a lie.

Example that popped into my mind was the HHS wanting to give kids extra credit in science for getting jabbed. That wasn't handed down from the WHO, it was just a bureaucrat brainstorming the question "how can we get more kids jabbed"?

In Washington state, we a had a "West Coast pact", in which the states would all do the same thing. It's not a coincidence the states (WA/OR/CA) were enthusiastically all-in on the Gates/WEF/CCP agenda.

That's the real struggle right now. The globalists and their depop/replacement agenda, and the rest of us. You see that fight playing out in nearly every country. Most places are failing, Canada included.

I found it a bit more than coincidental that three major Anglosphere nations have had important elections in the last week -- Britain, Canada and Australia.

Britain had already made the exceedingly foolish move in the last general election of voting-in Labour in a vast number of ridings in order to "punish" the Conservatives. I saw this as the mind-blindness phase. They appeared to have to hit rock bottom, like a denying Alcoholic, before they could come to their senses and improve. Labour being in power gave them rock bottom, alright.....

This week, in mid-term local elections, it was a bloodbath for Labour. And for the other major party -- Conservatives. Instead, the party of the middle-ground/third way cleaned up. REFORM Party. Britons just had to learn the very hard way first.

Perhaps Australians and Canadians are in the earlier phase of this awakening, in which they must hit rock bottom in order to wake up and advance (because they will not voluntarily open their eyes). They both re-elected far-leftwing governments. Mind you, in Canada the popular vote came near an even split between Liberals of the far-left and Conservatives of the centre-right. Problem is that everyone will have to suffer the awakening lesson of the mind-blind of the population. Ouch!

I am still in disbelief that half of Canada voted for more of the same because of Trump's trolling.

I am Canadian, Commander. I see it all on the ground, and have done so for many years.

Brazil is the testing grounds. Canada the proving grounds. EU provides the application/implementation.
