“It has taken us centuries of thought and mockery to shake the medieval system; thought and mockery here and now are required to prevent the mechanists [technocrats] from building another.”

The Not-So-Great Canadian Snow Job

If there were two words to describe what the Liberals and NDP under PM Trudeau have done to Canada over the past nine years, it might be “Snow Job”
1) Snowjob, an American colloquialism for a cover-up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Job
A cover-up is an attempt, whether successful or not, to conceal evidence of wrongdoing, error, incompetence, or other embarrassing information. Research has distinguished personal cover-ups (covering up one's own misdeeds) from relational cover-ups (covering up someone else's misdeeds).[1]
The expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority who abuse power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing. Perpetrators of a cover-up (initiators or their allies) may be responsible for a misdeed, a breach of trust or duty, or a crime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover-up

2) An effort to deceive, overwhelm, or persuade with insincere talk, especially flattery. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snow%20job

3) an attempt to persuade someone to do something, or to persuade someone that something is good or true, when it is not:

Not only have the “powers” ignored or quashed investigations of corruption time after time, but they have voted against Rights and Freedoms and decimated out military. Here is one person’s somewhat mocking observation:
Canada is Ready

But bear up Canada. The LIB/NDP snow job is about to melt away if we wake-up and make the right choices. Let us resist the newest snow job that the coronation of an elitist, central banker is the answer to Canada's woes. Remember the Dear Fellow Canadians: “Heads Up”* from short months ago.
