Why, they're "progressing" towards a "better democracy". Everything they do is to 'save democracy'. In their minds anyway.

Progressivism has become a euphemism for authoritarianism. It has no regard for the established (classical) liberal institutions of the West. Which makes Freeland's - in all her vapid sloppy scolding sophistry of nebulous nonsense - speech all the more bizarre. if you listen closely she's saying liberal democracy and its capitalistic economic system ostensibly rooted in free and voluntary trade (but really operates in a box of cronyism) can't rise to the challenge she invented in her head.

Freeland already gave a test of her visions on how to proceed through the Emergencies Act. She made loud and clear at POEC where he "principles" lie. The law is too pesky to follow when there's an 'emergency' for example. Therefore, we must be "agile" and circumnavigate it. She's taking the theory of the "state of exception" and running with it playing Calvin Ball.

These people are Marxistst - by other means. I say this because they don't have the courage to admit that's what they are.

In the minute that I could stomach listening to freakland it didn’t sound like an endearing crowd. As much as I detest her and Trudeau I kinda feel pity.
