Early on, some posters were quite convinced about the very firm way they thought Ford would handle the situation. I wonder if they feel let down their expectations weren't met.Or even better - take a vacation with Doug Ford. His brother was the crackhead Mayor of Toronto and Doug is best remembered for his high-school drug dealing.
The problem we are experiencing is that these extremist on the left don't love America, they want to change America into something wicked and corrupt. They aren't trying to improve America, they are trying to destroy it. Supporting a narrative of alternative history that is false and creates division, stokes hate, falsely blames others isn't a good thing.
In Washington, DC the US military was also used by Trump, illegally. Some of the equipment used belonged to the military. Also: the protesters were not breaking the law in Washington, DC. Also: the protesters were cleared only so that Trump could have a photo op for his own self-aggrandizement, not for the public good.There are similarities between Ottawa today and Washington DC in June 2020 when the Park police cleared an illegal protest in front of the Whitehouse, only the Police in Ottawa are using minimum force and there is a lot less violence.
Hmmm, must be a bunch of "fake" pictures being posted in recent comments then.This is inaccurate, to say the least. Guns were never drawn by police, never pointed at protesters at any point.
You're referring to trespassing and equating that with dictators like Biden and Trudeau?It's amazing how some on the right love an illegal occupation when it's white extremists.
The challenge Ford (and other politicians have) is that police in Canada are very independent. They are overseen by independent boards and politicians can't order them around. Generally speaking people are pretty disappointed in Ford. Everyone thought he handled the pandemic well at the beginning but has been a bit flip-floppy as its dragged on. @JANFU has some strong opinions on it!Early on, some posters were quite convinced about the very firm way they thought Ford would handle the situation.

I corrected myself earlier on. The photo is real; I was mistaken.Hmmm, must be a bunch of "fake" pictures being posted in recent comments then.
What did he know?
The Canadian Parliament must approve the use of the emergency measures within seven days, and the left-leaning New Democrat party said it would support Trudeau's Liberal minority government to pass the measures.
I hadn't seen this post yet, when I posted #1431. Good for you - being okay with admitting you were wrong and being corrected.I saw that photo after my post so stand corrected. I do think the NYT is being a bit hyperbolic.
The debate was today in The House. The vote is Monday and it's sure to pass The House. The Senate then votes on it, likely Tuesday. That will also pass and once the GG signs it (Tuesday or Wednesday) it's considered passed.So here's my question. I'm not familiar with the Canadian process but when Trudeau invoked the EA the reporting was along the lines of this:
Canada's Trudeau invokes emergency powers in bid to end protests
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday activated rarely used emergency powers in an effort to end protests that have shut some U.S. border crossings and paralyzed parts of the capital.www.reuters.com
So when did the approval take place?
That's not what this is about. Nearly all of those guys are vaccinated and the Canadian mandate Doesn't affect them at all anyway. They Don't like having to wear a mask at the mall, That's what this is about, and the federal government has no jurisdiction over that.
For what it It's worth, I support relaxing the rules in Canada. It's time. But not at the border and especially not that border. The American death rate is three times the Canadian rate- we don't need to throw the doors open to American anti-vaxxer s.
People have gotten the government they deserve. The citizens must rise up to tyranny and when they don't, despots like Trudeau and Biden just become more emboldened.So here's my question. I'm not familiar with the Canadian process but when Trudeau invoked the EA the reporting was along the lines of this:

Controlled people become like docile sheep.The debate was today in The House. The vote is Monday and it's sure to pass The House. The Senate then votes on it, likely Tuesday. That will also pass and once the GG signs it (Tuesday or Wednesday) it's considered passed.
Did you miss the bit about a vote by democratically elected representatives?Controlled people become like docile sheep.
My husband so wishes the U.S. could and would "adopt" these truckers. We sure need their skills.
It hasn't taken place yet.So here's my question. I'm not familiar with the Canadian process but when Trudeau invoked the EA the reporting was along the lines of this:

No threats, accts have been frozen. And will be subjected to courts review
When did ottowa become a police state? You're not allowed to protest in Canada?The police operation to remove protesters in Ottawa began about 20 minutes ago. The police seem to be arresting people on foot to start with. I'm sure Ottawa residents, sick of the disruption and noise will be cheering this on.

"Very good people" as Trump calls them.
And they lined up wide and deep to defend it
Imagine a Canadian PM saying that. Gone by next midday
This is interesting news and I'm hoping some Canadians will express how they feel about this. The ability of the government to freeze one's assets was the most disturbing part of the EA to several posters. Some or maybe just one poster thought only accounts of 2-3 leaders would experience this penalty.76 accts frozen, 3.2 mil
At least 76 financial accounts frozen since Emergencies Act invoked: Mendicino
Dozens of accounts with financial services firms have been frozen under new powers granted by the Emergencies Act over the past five days, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said Saturday.www.ctvnews.ca
Every day there's protests, including at Parliament. You can't close bridges or roads. Same as in the US.When did ottowa become a police state? You're not allowed to protest in Canada?
