It's increasingly looking like we don't have much say in it, either.
Quote:I think it'll get a LOT worse before it bets better. For both our countries. We're very slowly and subtly kissing goodbye to our freedoms and liberties, bits by bits but the people are still (for the majority) supporting the governments (provincial and federal) and thanking them for keeping us "safe".
I thought the majority of people were sheeps already back in the day. It pales in comparison to now. 2020 has been a turning point for the real big guns but most people are still on cruise control, sleeping at the wheel, not seeing what is really happening.
It's a sad moment in history. That much I do know.

You're probably right - it probably WILL get a lot worse before it gets any better. Russians in the Soviet Union put up with it for 70 years or so before they'd had enough and revolted.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
