It shouldn’t come as a great shock to anybody that Canadians have had a long-standing reputation for being among the most servile populations in the world. A reputation that is entirely warranted, by the way. From the time after the Revolution when the United Empire Loyalists were cringingly grateful to Sir Guy Carleton after he treated them like whipped curs during their first starvation winter in their new Nova Scotia home, the resistance trajectory of this “country” has been in perpetual plateau, descending ever downward. Please check out my article on the historical Canadian character for further analysis on this score.

That is not to say that the old-stock yeomanry is bereft of courage, though. Far from it. We saw that when that undeniable courage was tragically amalgamated with instinctive Canadian naivete and resulted in such grist-mill tragedies of the First World War as Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele. Farm boys tempered to a fine point by the weather extremes of the semi-tamed prairie and mountain wildernesses proved all too willing to charge pell-mell into entrenched machine gun nests because some gilded lily from the Royal Military College told them to.

Needless to say, the old-stock yeomanry is getting to be a mighty rare commodity in the Once White North anymore. But enough outlaws and contrarians remain in the blue-collar section of the economy to kick up a serious ruckus when provoked badly enough.

And my good word, has Canada’s draconian mandates requiring truckers entering the US – soon to be expanded to include all truckers operating within Canada on all but local runs – to be vaccinated ever constituted a hill to die on for these good folks. The same uncouth, unpretentious, unsophisticated bumpkins that Canada has always called on to fight its wars and do the dirty jobs that cosmopolitan bureaucrats and mid-level executives won’t touch with a hockey stick came out to wage the battle that our much-vaunted doctors and “medical professionals” should have taken the lead on, but didn’t – nay, they all but proclaimed all who looked not up to them as God ‘haters’ and ‘science deniers’ and would have been calling for execution for us unenlightened types had Canada not repealed the death penalty in the 1970s. But what can you expect from government employees, which all who work in the Canadian medical field ultimately are? Parasites will kill the host before depriving themselves of a reliable and easy food source. Truckers aren’t afforded that luxury, and so they amassed in force and are declaring unequivocally that their livelihoods matter. God bless them for it.

However, from a Kinist perspective,the protest is far from an unqualified triumph. The outpouring of legitimate populist rage is being diverted into channels that support the prevailing humanist and egalitarian myths that defined the false Canadian ‘identity’ pre-pandemic….and those myths played no small part in inculcating the mindset that led to the dystopian COVID hell we know and loathe today. Details on that to follow.

So without further ado, let us weigh the positive and negative aspects of the convoy, and see where we stand in the balance.

The Good

It goes without saying that the best thing about this protest is that it does appear to have some bite – a refreshing rarity in Canada, where ‘please’ is second only to ‘the’ in the English vocabulary. It’s indescribably satisfying to see government careerists in Ottawa likening the honking of horns to the firebombing of Dresden when they had no problem whatsoever gleefully cheering on every Maoist mandate that was implemented in Canada coast to coast. It also seems to be resonating with the Powers That Be, as evidenced by their sudden introduction of phrases like ‘pandemic fatigue’ and ‘more sustainable approach’ into the Scarybug narrative when not too long ago at all they were still stuck in the ‘Covid zero’ rut. Tangible results are following in the wake of the Honkpocalypse as well, as evidenced in Quebec’s sudden one-eighty on implementing a discrimination tax against the unvaccinated (in socialized-medicine Canada!), to cite just one example. Could this all just be eye-candy meant to lull everybody back to sleep for a month or two more? Of course, and until the lot of these scum are sent packing for good, we ought not to believe them when they tell us the sky is blue. But it does appear as if the serpent that has been striking out blindly at us these two years’ past is a lot more terrified of us than we are of him.

Also encouraging is the staggering amount of money collected in such a short period of time by the convoy’s initial GoFundMe appeal – ten million dollars in less than a week’s time is nothing at all to sneeze at, particularly when one considers that it took Canada’s Liberal party three months to garner a paltry $7.65 million in 2021 – and this in the midst of a federal election, yet! Any superannuated political machinist has to be sweating bullets at seeing how a wave of populist fury can overcome the benumbing slog of donation pandering in a seeming instant – all the more daunting when it transpires in the midst of what can be charitably called a terminally depressed economy. Even the subsequent announcement from GoFundMe that they were suspending the fundraiser outright turned into a win when the backlash became so ferocious that GFM pledged itself to an automatic refund of all the monies, rather than hand them over to arbitrary ‘credible and established charities’ (sorry, Black Lives Matter and NAMBLA!) as originally intended. Amazing, isn’t it, how many corporations are suddenly beginning to realize that maybe woke capitalism isn’t the most sustainable business model?

I would also be remiss if I didn’t point out just how pleasantly surprising it is to see the Right demonstrate something I had long thought them incapable of: organizational ability. Perhaps they’re finally waking up to the fact that ability to meme never yet won a war? They even managed to think the logistics of the thing through, with supply lines of food, coffee, and diesel fuel to keep the trucks operative in the frigid Ottawa temps continuing unabated. (Well, at least until the latter commodity started to be illegally confiscated by the kops – thus ensuring that the trucks will eventually stall out, that they will be started once refueled only with tremendous difficulty due to the fickle nature of diesel fuel injection systems, and thus ensuring that the protest will be extended indefinitely – which I definitely don’t have a problem with.) Very good, boys! Now if you can only apply this new-found skill set to getting various regional secessionist movements off the ground, we can really start going places!

And….on that note, that’s enough good news for now. Time for us to turn our attention to….

The Bad

The primary danger wrought by the unexpected success of the convoy is the dramatic change in mindset it has wrought among Canadians who have been laboring under the yoke of some of the world’s worst mandate/lockdown lunacies. Euphoria among the dispossessed is running so high that it is bordering on hysteria. This is understandable. In the wake of the greatest psy-op in modern times – a psy-op the Canadian military establishment has freely admitted exists in all but name – a population mired in the Slough of Despond for far too long can only be expected to express bipolar tendencies, and clamor aboard the Rocketship of Elation whenever even a modicum of good news comes down the pipe.

Given the preponderance of historical illiteracy and societal short-sightedness among our modern volk, though, this euphoria has a way of making that which was seen as intolerable only a couple of years PPE (pre-pandemic era) seem desirable beyond measure today. We all want to get ‘back to normal’, right? And never mind if the ‘normal’ was an unsustainable pit to begin with.

Thus it is that the convoy is increasingly being seen as an exercise in national restoration. Why, if Canadians are not acting as the stereotypical wimps and forelock-tuggers that popular opinion would have us portrayed as, then surely there is hope for the good Dominion yet!!!

No. No, there is not.

Being fundamentally shallow thinkers, white Canadians seem to have forgotten that Scarybug is but a mere battle, not the war itself. Even if we get past this nightmare, we’re still left with a circa 2019 postmodern police state hellhole maintained by ennui and beyond repair.

So I don’t care how many “patriots” are now flying Maple Leaf flags, wearing Maple Leaf ephemera, and putting vision-obscuring Maple Leaf decals on their truck windows. I don’t care if, when someone maskless is being unlawfully arrested, a flash mob shows up and belts out an impromptu singing of ‘O Canada’. I don’t care if people are saying ‘for the first time in my life, I’m proud to be Canadian!’ Why are they spoiling a perfect track record now? These people don’t seem to realize that this hasn’t been an aberration in an otherwise stellar record of True North freedom and democracy – it’s the natural and inevitable end of the entire Canadian mentality. The only reason it didn’t happen a century ago was because there was no internet around to mitigate the narrative and perpetuate the process that much more efficiently. No, the whole sad spectacle only suggests to me that secession movements up here are more necessary than ever before – and that they might finally, finally, be entering a stage of inevitability, at least in Alberta’s case. Any future uprisings of the volk will have a much easier time of it making a trek to Edmonton than they will to Ottawa, anyway. And the potential for such is already well established, given that the concurrent occupation of the primary Alberta border crossing of Coutts by more irate truckers has, if anything, even more grit and determination behind holding the line than even its Ottawa counterpart.

Returning to the GoFundMe issue: that is another beef on the part of the conservatives who participated in the fundraiser. Yes, it is good that the alternate site GiveSendGo – which is a self-described Christian service, incidentally – picked up the temporary slack in the fundraising reins and has managed to reap an additional $7 million and counting on behalf of the convoy at the time of this writing. But the question remains: why did the organizers of this protest think GoFundMe was a viable funding option to begin with? They have been guilty of freezing fundraisers for causes they don’t like before, as they did multiple times for campaigns waged on behalf of policemen impacted by the ‘Defund the Police’ movement of last year. Organizing dudes: this isn’t 2009. There are a multitude of alternate financing sites available now. You could have raised the frozen $10 million on another platform with no issues and could have gotten it to truckers in need a lot more expeditiously – municipal pols in Ottawa would likely have not even been aware of those sources, let alone have the clout to muscle them into acting on their whims.

By the same token: why were people so shocked when Zuckerberg the Omnipotent pulled the 200,000+ member Freedom Convoy Facebook page? Is this their first foray into the unjust realm of legacy internet? This is what they do. The mainstream Right’s continued loyalty to these online brand names in lieu of platforms like Gab, Telegram, and Bitchute is maddening. “Oh, but muh maximum reach!!!”, they will respond. The only people they will reach on these platforms anymore are elderly normies who believe everything Joe Scarborough tells them or twink normies who angst over whether they should write their preferred pronouns on their masks with Magic Marker. The people that you want to reach, who will actually come through with money and manpower, and who aren’t a Fed or a bot, are on divergent platforms in droves. Don’t waste time, resources, and emotional investment on proven scoundrels.

And we still aren’t at the worst of it. Behold….

The Ugly

Of course, in Canaanada it’s not enough to promote your faux ‘nation-building exercise’ on antiquated concepts like patriotism and volk. No, you have to augment this narrative with that very, very special Canuck trademark of hyper-radical egalitarianism, whereby you maintain that the very concept of race disappeared around 1945, and thus every non-white is entitled to automatic citizenship, free groceries for life, and season tickets to the Montreal Canadiens. I have covered this phenomenon in another article.

Are the spokesmen for the convoy running rampant with this? You better believe it.

Over and over and over again, we have received reassurances from them that the convoy is not ‘racist’, reacting to typically hyperbolic agitprop emanating from the Canadian press gang. In other words: they are fighting this battle on our enemies’ terms, and are taking a big hit in credibility with folks who will stick with them over the long haul as a result. Whenever some agent provocateur shows up with a flag bearing a swastika or a Stars and Bars – both of which happened precisely once and no more, incidentally – the organizers compete with Antifa to see who can condemn such symbols of “hate” the most vehemently. (By the bye, Confederate paraphernalia is in no way, shape, or form illegal in Canada, and battle flag license plates on the front of pickup trucks are a not uncommon sight among rural and semi-rural dissidents up here. Just thought I’d throw that out there.) This is how Red Tories have been trying to define ‘true’ conservatism in Canada for generations, and let’s just say this ain’t getting any fresher with the telling.

This mindset has also led to some truly nauseating stories of trans-ethnic unity making the rounds. Is it supposed to warm my heart that pro-convoy whites have participated in pagan dance ceremonies with pro-convoy Indians, prayer meetings with pro-convoy Muslims, head-bobbing shaloms with pro-convoy rabbis, and complaints about the Ottawa weather with pro-convoy Jamaicans? Well, none of these do. Nor do I get all dewy-eyed upon seeing lines of white blue-collar and agrarian protesters joining hands for an impromptu rendition of ‘We Are the World’ or ‘Lean On Me’ or some other transnational anthem. Can we expect ‘I Have a Dream’ hashtags to begin trending on Twitter next? Embracing ‘we are all one nation!!!’ platitudes like this goes a long way towards explaining how we were led down the primrose lane of total federal overreach to begin with. Embracing more of the same will only ensure more of the same Orwelliansim further down the road. And not much further, either.

Who stands to lose the most from these mandates? Not company truckers – they have a union behind them, and if they take issue with being vaccinated they can always opt for localized runs. No, long-haul independent truckers are the real victims of this power play….and by and large, they are still for the most part white middle-aged Gen-X and Late Boomer men. Which, by an incredible coinckydink, also happens to be the demographic most resistant to getting even one jab to begin with. Company trucking in North America, on the other hand, is largely dominated by Sikhs. Any glance at a truck unloading at your local grocery store will confirm this. It also stands to reason that most of the trucks converging in Ottawa and at the various border crossings of Canada are independently-owned – brand name food conglomerates aren’t about to give their drivers that much leeway and risk having their transportation confiscated. Thus, one has to conclude that this protest is primarily one of white working-class grievance. That is not to say that there aren’t Sikh truckers involved in this protest – the brother-in-law of Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada’s socialist New Democratic Party, embarrassed his sibling mightily by donating thirteen thousand dollars to the convoy, though he later caved and rescinded the donation – and I don’t begrudge them participating in it one bit. They have to eat too, after all. But when the so-called ‘resistance’ showcases them on Tik-Tok videos that go viral and are championed by Conservatism Inc as representative of the convoy as a whole, that only adds to the general tenor of white dispossession that has not abated one iota in the newly-found ‘freedom’ movement. And believe you me: the Maoist medical complex plaguing the West is not the only grudge the sons of the pioneers have against the system. Far, far from it.

Such pandering duplicity wouldn’t be happening in a Kinist Canada. And therein lies the greatest problem with the convoy of all: it is occurring in a country that is largely post-Christian and Godless in large swathes of its territory. A great big Kumbaya moment is not going to change that fatal reality. It would well behoove Christians not enmeshed in globalist lies to pray for regeneration among the awake, as opposed to woke, Canadian population, because without God’s blessings upon this endeavor it will ultimately prove futile. Which brings to mind one of the cringeworthiest things I have witnessed in the convoy thus far: an ‘inspiring’ original painting making the social media rounds and egregiously ripped off from the book of Exodus:

Perhaps this ought not to be classified as outright sacrilegious. Yet, given the humanist themes running through the convoy documented above, at the very least one can describe this as bizarre, tacky, and tasteless – on a par with most other modern tone-deaf Christian art that would seem at home in the posters displayed for sale at the local gas station. Impiety performed in a spirit of elation is ofttimes the grossest impiety of all.

Now that that’s all been gotten out of the way, let me affirm: I do support the convoy. Even if far from perfect, it still beats having our people huddling in their houses for yet another year, wondering what atrocity is going to be coming down the pike from the uncivil magistrates today. Christians everywhere ought to be praying that God shows mercy upon the obvious shortcomings of the undertaking and allows it to succeed, not just in Canada but the world over. May Nebuchadnezzar be sent out to pasture to graze like an ox, where he belongs. And may the prophetic words of the illustrious Kipling continue to smolder into a great flame:

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
