Orwellian Canada & Animal Farm

…Mr. Prime Minister, you have made women’s rights a central issue for your government. You speak often about the importance of fighting violence against women. How do you reconcile your position and your statements on women’s rights with your silence in this particular case, the case of the woman

  • who was treated by government authorities, the courts and the police in the Canadian province of Quebec with less consideration than a farm animal, as is described in my Open Letter to you…

From the letter to Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, September 25, 2019

The Orwellian Canada has its own Animal Farm that is situated in the Canadian province of Quebec. Svetlana and I lived for 11 years on this Animal Farm in a place located within a 40-miniute drive from the office of Canada’s Prime Minister and the seat of the Canadian Parliament.

Just like Animal Farm created by the literary genius of George Orwell this Animal Farm is dominated by ideology and intolerance reflected in its founding principles:

  • All animals are equal, but some animals are significantly more equal than others.
     
  • Animals that are significantly more equal than others are those that are born on Animal Farm.
  • Animals that come to Animal Farm from other farms are less equal.
  • Animals that believe in animal rights are bad animals regardless of their farm of origin.
  • All animals shall speak with one voice and in one language.
     
  • Whatever happens at Animal Farm stays there.

Animal Farm has its own set of laws and its own justice system different from the rest of the Orwellian Canada. The justice system ensures the perpetuity of Animal Farm by observing certain rules:

  • Laws are created to be broken, particularly where bad animals need to be punished.
  • Brutality is not considered to be an offence when applied to bad animals.
  • Where broken laws and brutality fail to suppress bad animals Money shall be used to secure their silence.

I invite you to start exploring Animal Farm by reading The Quebec Ditch − a chapter from the draft of my book Foreign Assignment: Life, Work and Death in the Orwellian Canada. Memoirs of the Last Bureau Chief of Soviet TV & Radio in Canada − that offers a glimpse of life on the Farm.

 If you want to learn more about the realities of life at Animal Farm I suggest further reading, − letters addressed to those who refused to acknowledge its existence and instead covered it up with their silence. Warning: these letters were not meant to be an entertaining read; they were meant to make the addressees Pause, Think and Act to dismantle Animal Farm:

To date, this has not happened. Why? One explanation is provided by George Orwell: “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.”
