Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Crisis of Canadian Liberty Part 3
Secret Orders in Council, AKA Federal Decrees?
I was surprised to come across an article from the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) outing Justin Trudeau’s federal government for adopting 72 SECRET Orders in Council. There are many concerns about these secret orders along the lines of abuse of power and government transparency, we’ll get to that shortly.
The reason I am surprised, is that the article does not paint the Trudeau government in a positive light, yet we know that the CBC can’t be considered much other than state funded media (propaganda machine dare I say) since it receives 1.2 billion in annual funding from the federal government.
What are Orders in Council
Orders in council are “A legal instrument made by the Governor in Council on the advice of the federal cabinet.”
More specifically, Orders in Council
“Are notices of an administrative decision made by the federal cabinet, signed by the Governor in Council (Governor General). Orders in Council are notices of appointments, regulations, or legislative orders related to and authorized by existing legislation.
Or, from Library and Archives web site:
The term orders-in-council refers to a legislative instrument generated by the governor-in-council, and constitutes a formal recommendation of Cabinet that is approved and signed by the governor general. Orders-in-council address a wide range of administrative and legislative matters, from civil service staffing to capital punishment, and from the disposition of Aboriginal lands to the maintenance of the Parliamentary Library."
Orders in Council are initiated thru A letter from the Prime Minister to the Governor General recommending certain actions. Such actions are to be based on acts of parliament that have already passed.
What are Secret Orders in Council?
Typical Orders in Council are published on the government website for parliament and public access. However, there is something called secret Orders in Council, and these are not published for parliament or public access.
Secret orders are only to be used under strict circumstances:
“according to the Statutory Instruments Act, if “publication could reasonably be expected to be injurious” to federal-provincial affairs, the conduct of international affairs, “the defense of Canada or any state allied or associated with Canada” or the “detection, prevention or suppression of subversive or hostile activities.”
In other words, they are usually used for matters such as national security, and they are still supposed to fall within the limits of existing acts and legislation.
But how can we be sure they fall within those limits if they are always and forever secret?
Additionally, if secret orders do not fall within the limits of existing acts and legislation, then they are basically decrees set forth by the federal government. To me this rhymes with Dictator abuse of power type stuff.
Even if they fall within the existing limits, keeping such orders secret is not keeping with the transparency that should be expected from a democratic government that serves the people.
Of course, there will be rare circumstances of national security that would require secrecy, but are we to believe there were 72 instances of this?
Prime Minister Steven Harper’s government (in power just prior to Trudeau), received heavy criticism for issuing 22 secret Orders in Council during his term. Trudeau has issued over 3 times that number and refuses to give details about them.
Another interesting fact is that over half of these secret orders have been adopted since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. And people say the government hasn’t used the pandemic to grant themselves more power and control.
By now we all know Trudeau, Freeland and most of their cabinet are in lock step with the WEF, and he himself publicly stated the pandemic is an opportunity for a reset, meaning the WEF Great Reset.
A large part of the Great Reset is increased government power, and it seems that most actions Trudeau takes either increase the government’s power or abuse the power they already have. Is this his push for the globalist Great Rest agenda or is he simply narcissistic and arrogant?
Then again, maybe his really is just ignorant, unqualified, and incompetent.
And by the way if Trudeau or anyone says he speaks for all, or even the majority of Canadian, he does not.
As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun. Governments will always try to increase their power and control to push their ideology, or simply because they are power hungry sociopaths. It’s not like this is some new idea or anything.
Either way, what is happening now is the same thing, this time it’s just the globalists trying to gain power and control to push their Great Reset that will do nothing but benefit them and the elite ruling class/one percenters.
It will not succeed, their plan will crumble under the weight of their own egos, narcissism, and contempt for the common people.
It’s time for us Canadians to make our voices heard. Let our government officials know that we do not support any of what is happening and we need to hold the government accountable for their actions. Email, write, phone, or visit your government representatives to speak your concerns. Always peacefully of course.
We want a government that serves the people of Canada, not one that serves an international NGO.
We want transparency, not 72 secret Orders in Council.
We want unity in our country, not a Prime Minister who vilifies, discriminates against, and others groups of people he does not agree with.
Trudeau wants to pass a bill banning hate speech, yet he himself uses hate speech aggressively against the unvaccinated. Sorry bud, hate speech is hate speech! You can’t selectively say hate speech is allowed only against people you don’t agree with.
If we want to uphold our Canadian chartered right and freedom of expression (i.e. freedom of speech), we cannot ban hate speech. One of the costs for our own freedom of speech is that we must listen to speech/opinions that we disagree with, or even find vile. We can then decide to ignore it or debate it; this is the way it should be.
