As the US mask mandate falls, a couple thoughts:

Free to Fly recently hosted Bruce Pardy, speaking on legal issues in Canada. Much has been written on these by other experts in the field, which I clearly am not. I'm simply a highly invested and impacted observer. As are all of you.

I struggle with the dichotomy between US and Canadian legal landscapes. South of the border, originalist judges are standing up occasionally and decisively for the people, upholding constitutional rights and the law. North of the 49th, we're increasingly adrift because of this terrible "living tree" interpretation of our Constitution.

What good are rights or laws when they’re made amorphous blobs of subjectivism?? This is the danger behind the rest of the insanity our government is ramming through via their unholy political alliance: hate speech, censorship of ‘misinformation’.. All of it is to be adjudicated by the ruling crusaders of a new orthodoxy. I worry our courts may be bowing to the same gods.

The fragile triune balance that underpins our democracy; judiciary, executive and legislative, risk becoming little more than a giant amalgam of statist control, where fealty is paid to little aside from globalism and post-modern progressivism.

Any escape from this rests squarely with you and I, and our ability to change the narrative. Unless we convince a dozing population their freedom is at terrible risk, awaiting alternative salvation from institutions may be a fool's errand.
