But at the same time, 54 per cent of Canadians say they are 'ashamed' of how politicians have let the Freedom Convoy protests get out of hand

OTTAWA – Two-thirds of Canadians support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act and believe it’s time to clear out Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa, even if people get hurt in the process, reveals a new poll.
But neither the federal Liberals nor any other level of government should take this as a sign of support for their management of the blockades, as a slim majority of Canadians (54 per cent) say they are “ashamed” of how politicians have let the protests get out of hand, according to data collected by Maru Public Opinion.
It appears, per this poll, that Canadians are mostly behind using this law to clear out the truckers and that people wanted them out more quickly.
My personal observation is that most of the people freaking out about the Canadian government's response are from the USA and not from Canada.
This is the most recent poll I can find on the topic, if anyone can link to something newer, I would love to see it.
Support for this is high
IMHO this turd was left at Trudeau's door step
3 Provinces with blockades did nothing
Quebec, sent a strong message, and did not have the blockades that others had, cities and border crossings to the US shut down
Quebec has 33 border crossings, and not 1 as far as I know were blockaded.
AB, Ont,MB,AB Premiers did squat, all for easily discerned reasons.
Yet now we hear from the RW, that the majority of Premiers could address the problems. Well that evidence is basically crap
Failure by Provinces and City police forces to act lead to the turd at the door
I support the EA
But, and I am far from alone on this, I want a damned deep and public dive, investigated, a mandatory investigation, required in the law, I want answers as to why Canada reached the point where an EA was required
I do not want to see the average truckers lose their ability to work.
The Federal Govt seizure of a persons bank accounts is required to be issued in the courts
Canada's Police / Crown Prosecutors cannot be seen as vindictive, while I am pissed at the protesters, I live in a progressive country and do not want our officials to act in any way that is seen to be vindictive.
If the above is seen to be punitive & vindictive. if these are the actions of the Feds, going after the average schmuck, public opinion will change in a heart beat
That would make another hot potato for Trudeau to handle, and I hope they do not go this way
The protest leadership, well they are truly ****ed. Every one and their dog will be suing them
Now as to the average schmuck, in Ottawa, residents and those involved in the 300 Mil civil suit have and continue to add to the list of sued
Makes it much easier when he Crown files the charges in court
Many of these protesters will receive the peoples will thru the civil courts.
Nice that all are thru the Courts, and that their have been challenges, which I support, and some will end up in our Supreme Court
No doubt those with assets are busy hiding them
