Canadian authoritarianism

One judge.  Keep that in mind.  One judge.  This will probably be overturned by the higher court.  That is my prediction based on a fairly comprehensive knowledge of Canada and its politics.


I'd be pretty happy though if we could get a judge in Washington to agree that the emergency powers used by the state's governor to clamp down on freedom here for two and a half years.  That is not a typo.  September 2022 was when he relinquished control.  And our one party state government did nothing to try to rein him in. Why?  Because they were perfectly happy to have a totalitarian state, so long as it was run by one of their own.  


Might be worth pointing out that the Washington State Attorney General spent most of his taxpayer funded time between 2016 and 2020 suing the Republican Trump Administration.  Not once did he attempt to rein in his own governor.
