The term tyrant is thrown around quite a lot in 2A world. More often than not the term is used in a hyperbolic manner and in doing so a very simple point is made, a politician is getting out of hand and bringing down the hammer of the government on the people.
Justin Trudeau really is becoming a tyrant. While still hyperbolic, that statement might not be for long.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently was in the headlines for his use of emergency powers. PM Trudeau used emergency powers, which are meant for international conflict and extreme threats, to bring an end to the Freedom Convoy. The Freedom Convoy was a protest dedicated to bringing an end to draconian Covid-19 policy that left many unemployed.
On top of breaking up the protest, the Prime Minister also put pressure on all parts of the financial industry to freeze the assets of the truckers. Many could not access their bank accounts, they could not use their cards, and the more savvy could not use their crypto currency.
This was seen by many in the Canadian press as being an extreme overreaction, but Trudeau faced no consequences for this and saw little meaningful backlash. Now Trudeau has his eyes set on another target, guns.
As reported in the Toronto Sun:
The Trudeau government is looking to spend double buying back guns from legal gun owners than they have promised to spend fighting guns and gangs.
We can’t deny there is a problem with gun and gang violence in Canada. This past weekend in Toronto alone there were shootings in the core, in the suburbs and even a shooting on the highway. Toronto isn’t alone is dealing with gun and gang violence, it’s a problem across the country.
Something needs to be done about this but the solution isn’t what the government is proposing.
