Canadians are so incredibly passive. They let the government do whatever it wants. I think it's because they trust their government so much that when you get the Trudeau administration, which is about as bad faith as a government gets, they can put a quasi-totalitarian government in place with little resistance. Every single thing they do can be defended with, "You trust the government to do the right thing, and act in your best interest, don't you? You're not one of those paranoid conspiracy theorists?"
I think it's very very likely that Trudeau steps down as PM with little fuss when his party loses the next election (as polls very strongly suggest will be the case) and power is transferred to the opposition without drama. The previous election he lost his majority and there was no 'totalitarian' attempt to keep it.
People will then also claim the next government is 'quasi-totalitarian' and eventually they lose an election as well and step aside.
I'm not sure what you want the 'passive' Canadians to do given they already going to vote out a 'bad faith as gets' government - doesn't that seem like the proper course of action?
generally make life impossible without due process
What do you mean by that?
the government will freeze their bank accounts
Just putting this into context:
Isabelle Jacques, assistant deputy minister of finance, told a committee of MPs that up to 210 bank accounts holding about $7.8 million were frozen under the financial measures contained in the Emergencies Act.
She also said the fact that more than 200 bank accounts were frozen did not necessarily mean that more than 200 people lost access to their funds. Jacques said that individuals may have held more than one account affected by the measures.

When they are not passive the government will freeze their bank accounts and generally make life impossible without due process already.
