This excerpt is from the book “Canada’s COVID: The Story of a Pandemic Moral Panic” by Barry Cooper and Marco Navarro-Génie. It delves into the consequences of government-induced fear during the pandemic and the lack of trust it created among citizens. The government’s initial plan was to induce fear and promise safety if citizens followed instructions, but experts, bureaucrats, and the media began to live in a second reality where normal emotions were replaced by imaginary realities. The medical experts began to dictate behavioral modifications, which they intended to enforce with the power of the law. This led to a threat on civil rights as citizens began to dissent. The Canadian government’s response to COVID-19 was criticized, with some arguing that it was evidence of a strategic initiative rather than an incompetent response. The book argues for a commonsensical interpretation of the pandemic and suggests that there is evidence of bad-faith manipulation by cynical politicians.
