Ottawa's core locked down as police prepare to move on protesters

Did you know that "suspend" and "cancel" do NOT mean the same thing?
Yea, one is temporary while the other can be permanent. Having had my own insurance cancelled I was still able to reinstate it. Typically at a higher premium. So in actuality it's a distinction without a difference. Either way one can not drive until a policy is reinstated.
 
You might want to take a look at Section 30 (1) (a) of the Emergencies Act which reads as
Orders and regulations​
30 (1) While a declaration of an international emergency is in effect, the Governor in Council may make such orders or regulations with respect to the following matters as the Governor in Council believes, on reasonable grounds, are necessary for dealing with the emergency:​
(a) the control or regulation of any specified industry or service, including the use of equipment, facilities and inventory;​


and then get back to me and try and convince me that "banking" is neither an "industry" nor a "service" as well as showing me how the Governor in Council is required to have a court of law make the determination as to what is "reasonable".
And I'll ask again. What was the "international emergency"?
 
Give it a break, you're not going to get anymore out of that. Unless you'd like to rehash burning of cities by LEFTIST TRAITORS.

lol

Did they try to overthrow an election? No? That's right, they didn't.

I know you need to deflect from your side's act of sedition, but no one is buying it. And if y'all start bitching about "freedom" because there's repercussions for disrupting boarder security and halting international trade, you're gonna see 1/6 brought up again as an example that the Trump-Right doesn't give a shit about freedom and democracy.
 
You
The simple fact that someone can make a criticism like this and not be jailed shows us that Canada is not an authoritarian hellhole.

Contrast this to the whole winnie the pooh thing in China for example.
You’d have to be nuts not to see that Trudeau has used massive overreach here…we’ll see how quickly he retracts these emergency powers…but the other issue is they were so easy to bring in. Canada is clearly a fundamentally undermined state now.
 
The court hearing the bail request (which is NOT the trial court) is entitled to make its decisions on "the balance of probability" or even "significant likelihood of committing further illegal acts" and, in doing so does not concern itself with the actual eventual findings at trial.

Were the courts to take your position then NO ONE would EVER be "denied bail" (which they had a reasonable prospect of posting) until AFTER they had been convicted.
Bail can be revoked if the conditions are violated.
 
I don't understand your umbrage over the comparison. The victims of Hitler's authoritarian rule can recognize whenever history is repeating itself. If others cannot, then they need a history lesson to remind them of what authoritarian rulers can do in order to help prevent a repeat of Hitler's actions.
This is nothing close to Hitler's actions though. That's just absurd hysterics used. Jews weren't protesting in mass in Berlin under Hitler. They were ****ing hiding in attics because Hitler was actively having them hunted down and killed.

If you give a dictator an inch they'll take a mile. Hitler didn't start out by putting Jews into the ovens.

Trudeau isn't a dictator though. So there's that.

Any other hysterics?

It doesn't have to be an international emergency.

Civil rights were not suspended.

Read the act.
 
In a free , open ,society you are allowed to be mildly offensive …didn’t you realise that? It’s like you should be free to peacefully demonstrate in order to annoy and aggravate those that you deem to be over stepping the mark …no wonder you’re confused about the type of society you now live in.
Just pointing out some hypocrisy is all. You have no interest whatsoever in free, open society. You post homophobic slurs while supporting extremists.

It couldn't be more transparent.

I’m just responding to what I was cited. If you prefer you can call it a “National Emergency” and the question would remain the same.
 
I’m waiting on you. :)
Best you got? Anymore Trudeau is like Hitler memes you wanna throw out because for some reason you think disrupting boarder security and halting international trade shouldn't come with consequences....so long as it's done for political ideologies you agree with?
 
Lol

…I don’t give a shit where people stick their dicks…I’m just pointing out that you have a gay Hitler as your leader… I’m not the one who wants another Hitler, that’s on you .😂🤣
 
These Neanderthals could have just got a small needle prick and been working.

Ah well, they think If they pretend to be victims akin to Jews in Nazi Germany they get a prize at the end.

Morons.

Holocaust denial wins prizes in some circles. Let's not have any delusions about who these people are.

If you’re gonna insist on feeding me garbage don’t complain when I toss it back at ya. :p

Funny, because it's you throwing around the Nazi comparison garbage. You aren't throwing it back, you're nesting in it.
 
Overitall:

Convoy organiser Tamara Lich was denied bail because the judge determined that she could not fully meet the conditions of bail and because Ms. Lich was believed likely to return to the protest based on her own statements outside of court. Another protest organiser was granted bail but there is a 72 hour delay in releasing him for some arcane legal process reasons. A third could not meet the bai conditions yet.

Cheers and be well.
Evilroddy.
Hey, according to the claims made by the organizers of the "Freedum Convoy" they had 50,000 vehicles. That works out to be at least 60,000 people. If 0.005% were "denied bail" (which they weren't as the actual number of people "denied bail" was 1 [and that works out to around 0.00167%]), I don't think that the ratio is too high - especially when you compare it to a country were around 40% of those arrested ended up being incarcerated until trial (around 6.66% because they were denied bail and the remaining 33.33% because they were ordered to post bail that they were unable to meet).
 
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.

Thank God Canada doesn't have a defund the police movement, right liberal?
