Police state - lined up with clubs, guns, machine guns and the military - if you wondered what’s coming just take a look.

Lesson learned:

The lockdown turned every government in the world into a tyranny. Tyrannies don't just gently go back to what they were previously, because they have to devote much more energy to maintaining their authority than they did before they became tyrannies.

Trudeau looks especially bad because his country has heroically expressed the most resistance. But it's going to happen everywhere. You're seeing it in France with Macron. And of course it's not about enforcing any kind of policy anymore, it's just about protecting rule. Nobody considered that this might happen when powers at every level were blithely increased.
