Dr. Matthew Cockle: Legislating Totalitarianism
On this edition of TotalHealth John speaks with Dr. Matthew Cockle, author of the presentation Legislating Totalitarianism in British Columbia. The three legislative acts—the Emergency and Disaster Management Act, the Health Professions and Occupations Act, and the Legal Professions Act—are not merely reforms; they are transformative measures that recast significant areas of public life. By centralizing power, bypassing established checks and balances, and limiting public input, they collectively create a framework where state authority is vastly expanded at the expense of transparency, accountability, and individual rights. These are clips from that interview.
