When the local and provincial police were actually AIDING and ABETTING the fucking convoy as they terrorized the citizens of Ottawa, I am glad the feds stepped in. The locals decided to be part of the problem, not the solution, fuck them.
The courts now siding with the terrorists is not a huge surprise either.
Totally unhinged response. Trudeau had many chances to solve this issue but ignored them. No blaming him?
I only blame the middle-class goons with truck money who seemed to be whining about their personal discomfort by goose-stepping all over a Canadian community because of…their discomfort. Empty lives pretending to take action over the ephemeral. My guess is no money left for hobbies after spending all that truck money.
Right? Lockdown sucked a bit because it was harder to play physical boardgames, but my other hobbies were unaffected and I had the bonus if less traffic and fewer people in grocery stores, not to mention the occasional lineup where I’d have time to mentally transition.
By resigning and putting them in power?
take off man.
He didn’t resign at that point, he instead left the country and wouldn’t even address the protesters.
That is literally what they were demanding.
I still thinks Justin’s response could have been better than ignore the issue and leave the country. Addressing the protesters doesn’t mean giving them exactly what they want. By not even meeting with them, Justin strengthened their movement IMO.
You do realize there were legitimate threats against his life. Not just from within Canada, but from US political representatives, and folk like Jack posobiec (the guy that invented pizzagate)
The seeds of the idea of invading Canada were planted in prime time by tucker carleson and calls to liberate Canada.
Elon musk played a hand - going so far as to offer operational advise and financial support.
The whole thing was set up as a no win situation.
It was propaganda and psyops.
And making people believe Trudeau was a tyrant while calling for the overthrow of the gov and hanging people for treason was such a simple thing to accomplish.
The convoy was started under the code name operation bear hug.
It had a code name.
It was not organic.
It was aligned with j6.
It was never about freedom. Just like the free speech absolutists cries were never about free speech.
It will see fulfilment when we are invaded by
russiathe ussa.
Our courts are among the most judicial, kind and respectful in the world. I disagree with them here, but ultimately respect a fine institution who is erring on a side of caution that may be absolutely true, but never reciprocated by opposition forces.
Don’t draw the line in the sand too late. We’ve seen where that goes.
I disagree with them too, and I worry about the implications of this ruling with respect to justice for the people and the city of Ottawa. Looks like the convoy and the organizers get off with no legal repercussions so I’m fairly certain this will happen again, and there will be no money to pay for the damage and the disturbance.
What should have come out of this were clear limits on reasonable protest, police powers and legal expectations, and regulations on foreign funding in our politics and NGOs, including, in particular, American funding.
Who funded the kkklownvoy? Money was pouring in from foreign countries (the USA) making this a national security threat.
My view is that if the city and province responded as they should have, it would have been excessive. They tried something similar in Toronto and the cops kept them from settling in. But the city was stun-fucked and Doug Ford fucked off to the cottage, so here we are.
This is sure gonna rile up the seperatists in Alberta.
It was not a wise response.
