… There have been lots of moments of high-level intrigue during the past week, but it was Ontario Provincial Police Supt. Patrick Morris who provided the content most likely to be turned into a spy novel.

Since about 2019 or so, Morris testified, police, security and intelligence agencies at all levels across Canada have been keeping their eyes on a “significant amount of protest, dissent, some of which caused us reasonable grounds to suspect or believe that those issues would engage in criminal activity or illegal activity that would have a public safety impact.”

What they’re monitoring are brush fires of dissent that can explode into larger conflagrations, such as the rail blockades of early 2020 that started as an Indigenous land protest in B.C. No doubt Hendon was also keeping an eye on the 2021 election protests that dogged Justin Trudeau, which seemed to be a sneak preview of the convoy.

Pity the authorities didn’t devote an equivalent of the considerable resources expended on the Bouncy Castle uprising to hunt down the perpetrators of the Coastal GasLink terror attack or the massive hate crime arson of some 50 Catholic churches that resulted directly from Trudeau endorsing the Fake Graves Hoax.

I used to cover a great many “events” in the GTA for the blog until I realized that criminalizing dissent had become the pre-occupation of our “law-enforcement” agencies.

Back in the day the Hate Krime Kommisars at the CHRC would visit my blog every day including Christmas and how can I ever forget having the TDSB sic the cops on me for routinely embarrassing them in Libs of TikTok fashion.

I have spoken to someone who admitted to contact with the OPP unit in question and who hung about the periphery of “all sides.” Which isn’t to suggest they were compromised only that it firmed up a generally held assumption that we were all likely “suspects” in some organization’s files.

At one point I feared I was the target of an entrapment effort by another individual, someone I considered a friend.

I have always found it interesting that this person, once very active in certain circles, “disappeared” after I didn’t give him an answer he was obviously pushing for. It was such a ham-fisted effort involving so serious a matter that I believe he knew I suspected something was up. Who knows maybe he was doing me a favour in providing the nudge I needed to step back and reassess my situation and associations. 

At any rate it should be clear now that if you oppose the Trudeau government you are a criminal.
