I’ve been working on more important stuff than this but when I saw it, I had to say something: “Candidate to Replace Justin Trudeau Declares ‘Smaller Government Makes Room for Bigger Citizens‘.”
Not quite my version but really, REALLY close! My version is a verbal meme that’s in my verbal toolkit every I’m asked to speak at a rally – and it works in reverse as well. I started with this:
The Larger the Government, the smaller the Citizen
That was meant as a warning – realize, folks, where you stand in relationship to The State (i.e., Government). It was meant as a rallying cry (and, perhaps, serve as a wakeup call to socialists as to what could happen to them as well. And then, sometime after I crafted that, I realized that the opposite is true as well:
The Bigger the Citizen, the smaller the government
No matter which version you pick, they are all correct. Progressives / Socialists prefer a larger and larger government in which EVERYTHING is decided by it and you WILL be subservient to it; Ruling instead of merely governing (with our consent).
We all know about the Canadian truckers’ protest that happened a bit ago and saw how Totalitarian the son of Pierre Trudeau in invoking the Emergency Act, taking all those rigs, and freezing the bank accounts not only of the actual protesters (and taking their dogs if the police arrested the owners during the protest) and basically ruined their lives.
Big Government being even BIGGER Government. Finally, it was good to see someone stand up and tell Canadian citizens something that was rather Trumpian:
Pierre Poilievre is in the Conservative leadership race! https://t.co/qDK0Jo5jTM

See here is the problem, Trudeau thinks he is your boss, and he has got it backwards, you’re the boss. That is why I’m running for Prime Minister, to put you back in charge of your life.
What a concept, that I have control over me – instead of being trapped in political slavery by someone who doesn’t even know my name or that I even exist.
Trump spoke to the working man and the Wokesters and the Statists turned on him for doing so. And now with the “Davos Man” talking about The Great Reset which makes Government the Biggest it could be, I ask:
And what will you DO about it?
And just for the heck of it:
