Canadian Freedoms

I am coming to believe that many Canadians do not value freedom.  They do not attach any importance to a right to demonstrate or speak their minds. 

It appears to be the opposite.  They attach great value to our governmental masters shutting down a demonstration or silencing someone speaking their minds. 

They don’t value freedom as I value freedom.

Communication with such people is difficult.  I can see it when I recall to them my joy at being surrounded by honking semi-trailer trucks and cheering Canadians.  Their looks of disdain and disgust reflect the divergence of our views more than words could express.

And I find it increasingly difficult to keep a civil tongue when my friends and acquaintances praise our Prime Minister and his invocation of the (War) Emergency Measures Act.  But I will struggle on with Canadian forbearance, trusting in a future turn of the wheel.
