I live in Canada, a putative liberal democracy. But I cannot gather and demonstrate in public without the prospect of being arrested. I cannot worship in a church without fear of being fined and led off to jail. I cannot enter certain institutions and public places without wearing a mask. I cannot travel without finding myself levied and quarantined. And I will become a second-class citizen should the vaccine passport, which I understand the government is considering, ever become law, depriving me of the rights and freedoms I once took for granted. I am living in a police state in everything but name, likely to consolidate and become a “papers please!” regime should the government follow through.
Canada is by no means unique in this respect. The exclusionary device known as a vaxxport is being bruited in other countries as well, and it has already been introduced in Israel. Once we enter a “papers please!” world, the great, historically short-lived experiment in democratic governance, the gift of the Judeo-Christian West to mankind, will be over. We have already begun to lose our essential “Lockean” liberties—freedom of expression and worship, right of assembly, personal privacy, property rights—and now find ourselves facing the reality of existence in a Hobbesian world where life, to rephrase the adage slightly, is nasty, brutish, and tightly controlled.
The police state seems to be the natural political order, always ready to emerge from the shadows and insensibly replace the rare and fragile—and unnatural—cultural adventure we call “rule of law” and the concept of individual liberty. The inroads are already deep—the corruption of language (aka political correctness), mass surveillance, the tampering with the electoral process, pervasive censorship—preparing us to accept what was, and is, a COVID dictatorship on the pretext of public safety.
The vaxxport is only the latest installment in the march of insurrectionary politics, creating two classes of citizens, those with basic social privileges and those who have been stripped of them. Neither class is “free,” of course. The former class consists of compliant wards of the state and the latter, an ever-diminishing group, assumes the status of untouchables.

WHO Urges Vaccinated People to Resume Wearing Masks. Yes, Really.
Imagine this were a football game. Canada is the home team. Every time we fight tooth and nail down to the 10 yard line and are poised to score the referees walk the ball back to the 50 yard line. Every time! In the football game the home fans would be furious. In the COVID game the massive crowd (with the exception of a few half hearted boos) is basically silent and resigned to losing no matter what.
Urge today, mandate tomorrow. The WHO says vaccinations are insufficient protection. Double vaccinated or not. Continue to mask up, social distance, no large crowds. Make no mistake about it, this is never going to end until the people demand it end. There is not a single politician in Canada with a backbone.

Think this isn’t on Canada’s near future? Think again.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is requiring all new hires to show proof of vaccination prior to being hired with limited exceptions — news that comes as several governors take action, banning the use of vaccine passports in their respective states.

When pressed for his plan of action to prevent Canada from embracing this ‘papers please’ state the leader of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition paused as if caught in a difficult situation. He looked anxiously around before responding. “Rebecca had a cold one waiting for me after my run”.
Sarcasm of course but the point is made. The CPC is (and in it’s current state of utter uselessness) will remain the progressive’s unarmed opponent. Enabling. The co-conspirator label is right around the corner.
