One of the signs that totalitarian winds are blowing is when political dissent disappears, with the opposition parties in full cahoots with the government. Quebec’s governing Liberal Party has the support of the province’s opposition parties. The totalitarian ethos is alive and well when opposition parties are reluctant to oppose, lest they be branded insufficiently ideologically pure. As written, having a conversation a few blocks away from an abortion clinic that the state deems insufficiently enthusiastic about abortion could make you liable to prosecution. The police could arrest you if, a block down from an abortion clinic, you wore a t-shirt saying, “Canada should adopt Sweden’s abortion laws.”Will it happen?
