WARMINGTON: Mounties fear angry Canadians may rebel against government

Just when many believe the government actually hates Canadians, the Mounties worry Canadians may hate the government.

Either way, a new “secret” report indicates the federal government may be terrified of its own citizens.

But could things get so bad economically that Canadians revolt?

A clandestine RCMP study says it’s possible.

“The coming period of recession” could “accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations,” states a Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada report written by three RCMP officers for law enforcement and government leaders.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may have survived Thursday’s vote of non-confidence with a vote of 210 to 116, but will he be able to fend off an angry public tired of financial despair?

Seems the Mounties, who protect him, are concerned.

“The past seven years have seen marked social and political polarization in the Western world,” says the largely redacted secret RCMP report unearthed in a blockbuster exclusive story in the National Post by star reporter Tristan Hopper Thursday.

Under the banner of “paranoid populism” is concern that “capitalizing on the rise of political polarization and conspiracy theories have been populists willing to tailor their messages to appeal to extremist movements.”

In other words, in a climate where young people may never own a home or car, the government is being told they should fear its citizens’ response.

“Is this a bad dream?” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre posted to X just hours before his motion of non-confidence trying to force a “carbon tax” election.

The Conservative Leader made the point that “after eight years of Trudeau, the national police force warns Canadians are so broke they might revolt. Enough. Sign here to push non-confidence and fire Trudeau.”

The report also said the acrimony toward the government is a result of “conspiracy theories, misinformation and paranoia.”

Once these buzz words showed up, it was clear this exercise is nothing more than a trojan horse to justify over policing and Orwellian measures and even spying on citizens. Like climate change or mass graves under schools, it’s heavy on opinion and light on evidence.

“Law enforcement should expect continuing social and political polarization fueled by misinformation campaigns and an increasing mistrust for all democratic institutions,” said the report.

It’s another one of those “our democracy may be under attack” spins that have worked before. The government may smell the possibility of a revolution, but I smell a rat.

This is the same language used in around the Freedom Convoy that resulted in arrests and jail time in Ottawa and at border points in what was sold as a coup attempt but was really nothing more than loud protesting in which law enforcement has shown itself to police differently depending on who is protesting.

When the RCMP start pushing ‘the residents are restless’ narrative, soon after comes requests for more power, more freezing of freedoms and even bank accounts. And more police horse tramplings.

While the RCMP and Liberal government may believe Canadians are dangerous, nasty people ready to stage an uprising, they don’t offer evidence – just more of the same fear mongering that led to the enacting of the Emergencies Act and the quashing of rights and freedoms.

Other than in this report, there’s no one saying Canadians could violently overthrow their government. These are the same Canadians, after all, who did what the government told them to do during the pandemic, including adhering the mask mandates, lockdown protocols in malls and restaurants, social distancing, cancellation of funerals and weddings, and the bizarre mixing and matching of vaccine brands.

Canadians do what they are told to do.

So, this report seems more like a false flag pushing a bizarre plot line that government should be frightened of peaceful citizens when all they should be afraid of is what voters will do at the ballot box.

And thanks to there still being confidence in Trudeau, Canadians wanting peaceful change will have to wait.
