Canada's Government used the Emergencies Act in 2022, to limit Canadian's Charter Freedoms without justification. One of those freedoms is the right to peacefully protest. The emergencies act gave the Prime Minister dictatorial powers which he used to freeze bank accounts and oppress Canadians.
Dr Jordan B Peterson and his daughter Mikhaila explain the current situation with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. They have presented Dr Peterson with an ultimatum: take part in re-education courses aiming to correct his “wrongthink,” or lose his clinical psychology license.
Joining The Rupa Subramanya Show is one of the lead organizers of the Freedom Convoy Benjamin Dichter, where he gives us the inside story of the protests and how hard they tried reaching out to government officials but to no avail.
Rupa and Benjamin also reflect on last year’s Public Order Inquiry, looking into what led to the decision to invoke the Emergencies Act. Lastly, they talk about the future of the Freedom movement and how the protests will be remembered.
The Freedom Convoy was the biggest story of 2022 – the historic protest influenced the end of Covid mandates and lockdowns, exposed the bias of the legacy media and concluded with never-before-used war measures by the Trudeau government. Joining The Rupa Subramanya Show is one of the lead organizers of the Freedom Convoy Benjamin Dichter. Rupa and Benjamin discuss the origins of the Convoy, the inner operations of the protest, attempts to work with the government and police, plus much more.
