Anybody actually knows whats happening to Canada?

[rikibobby]

Trudeau has a 30% approval rating and got 30% of the votes last election. An election he promised not to call, so he's in a position of a minority leader speaking for a vocal minority.

When these protests started he took a Covid test, it came up negative, but he decided to isolate anyways. While in isolation he tested positive for Covid. The whole thing is a charade so he doesn't have to address the protesters.

But he did eventually, saying they're all racist, misogynistic homophobes. This a few weeks after asking if people who disagree with his narrative should be tolerated. He still hasn't addressed the nation in an effort to calm things down. On the contrary he's doubled down declaring those protests as evil, basically.

Yes there's bad actors amongst them with bad intentions. And to put it delicately, fuck those guys. But they're not an accurate representation of the majority who disagree with him. Far from it.

So, instead of trying to unite us as a country he's invoked an emergency act that allows the government to freeze assets and arrest whoever the hell he wants without question. This is a last resort measure in case Canada is under serious threat. Not in case people you disagree with protest government overreach.

Welcome to the War Room, where this thread will end up soon..

And all media seems quite happy to share the personal information form the donors that was hacked. That is equally as fucked. Donate $20 and jump on a government list of suspected extremists.

Also the prime minister who has done blackface multiple times and groped women calling the protesters and the MPs who sympathized with the protesters racist and sexist

Also Tim Horton's recently collaborated with Justin Bieber to launch a new line of Tim bits

I know this is kind of pedantic, but is he doing black face there?

He looks like he's more doing brown face than black face. I don't know any black people who look like that.

I’d like for you to prove my post inaccurate. Because you can’t.

All the Canadians I’ve spoken to say they 100% support the convoys… go ahead and prove my post inaccurate.

I doubt he knew or cared. He was dressed as one of them, a savage.

So you think that the burden is on ME to prove that your claim to know what most Canadians think is false? Ok lol

I didn’t try to refute your post.

If you want to refute it, sure.

I dont trust news sources that much, but theres an uproar on twitter about Canada lately. Of protests, & the government utilizing emergency powers to curb it.
What i want to understand, where do all of this unrest come from? Just from people being angered of the covid mandates & regulations there at Canada?

Far-right extremists coopted a vaccine mandate protest by cross-border truckers, fueled by money funneled to them by sympathetic American separatists--among others, and aided by sympathizers within the Ottawa police force, they were able to establish a large blockade in the heart of the capital in sufficient numbers to eventually outnumber available law enforcement. They followed that with intimidation of any police who attempted to control their behavior or clear them from any area and brought their kids as human shields in a bid to deter police from taking action. Many police looked the other way in general, though, so not much to worry about there.

The truckers thought they were protesting vaccine mandates for cross-border trucking, but it was crafted into an over-arching demand to drop all COVID-related public health mandates and to replace the elected government with an ad hoc committee. There is evidence that leaders of the protest are connected with a group of 4 caught with weapons and body armor who are accused of a planned assassination of RCMP officers. One piece of body armor had patches belonging to a group called Diagalon, who are an anti-government separatist militia with broad reach in the US and Canada. If the protest ever really was about truckers and vaccine mandates, that stopped being true some time ago.

Something a lot of people don't seem to get about this (although they should,) is that in Canada, similar to the US, there is a legally defined separation between the rights/powers and responsibilities of the federal government, and those of the provinces. Depending upon the circumstances, there is a tendency among people of all political stripes to assume the interpretation of those responsibilities that is most favorable to them at that moment. In this case, the organizers of the protest took advantage of that to successfully push the misleading idea that it was up to Trudeau to resolve the issue when it was a fundamentally provincial/municipal problem, however much we all might prefer otherwise.

Without facing later criticism for over-stepping the federal/provincial boundary, he was very limited in what he could do without the powers granted by the Emergencies Act, but even now critics are still saying existing laws were sufficient to deal with the situation--they obviously weren't, as it can now be seen that far more of the protestors have cleared out and their numbers continue to thin. In that light, he didn't have sufficient reason before, but the addition of these Diagalon would-be assassins gave Trudeau all the justification he needed, IMO.

And the government invoked the emergency act (never done before) and then brought in 100 cops/protester and trampled a cripple indigenous woman with a horse. The protesters look really stupid on this one. Not the government. Not at all.

Took 3 pages and lots of BS replies before someone actually explained the facts of what's happening.

What far right groups? Name the specific people who infiltrated the truckers? It damn sure better be more than 4 people.

Yes, I'm asking for proof that my lying eyes are wrong. The weeks of video are doctored. And the 18 wheelers are actually transformers.

I believe your post to be blatant gaslighting.

I'm glad you're laughing your ass off.

 

[ReligiousDiscipline]

I can tell you, most Canadians are glad the border blockades are cleared. Most also probably think the protests could have been cleared without the invocation of the emergency act, but that for the people that live in the area, some sort of normalcy was deserved. Let’s see what happens next. But it’s pretty much business as usual in the rest of the country and not what you are seeing on the news.

Yes. Business as usual. Trudeau can go back his smug, self-serving ways while ignoring the growing wealth gap, the housing crisis, inflation, crumbling health care and the growing violence and division among Canadians. He can definitely get a few more scandals in before he calls another election.

 

[44nutman]

Those moose fuckers are watching Pam and Tommy on the Disney channel. They are some shit hole country that can’t afford HULU.

 

[Bald1]

I'm glad you're laughing your ass off.

Andy managed to :

- Completely ignore that blockades were cleared without using the emergency act. The act dud not need to be enacted to deal with the protesters. It's purely punitive in nature.
- That Trudeau's actions have been called into question across party lines.
- Federal mandates do indeed have an effect on people living and working in provinces. This is one of the most idiotic of his points.
- The protest these measures are used to break up are indeed peaceful.
- This sets a very dangerous precedent.


That verbose lunatic will continue to kiss the ass of Trudeau until the day he dies.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

According to the libs of sherdog it is an extreme fringe minority and 99% of people and other truckers do not support them.

according to Canadian Broadcasting it is a “nation wide insurrection”. So yeah……..

 

[grimballer]

canada is still stuck in march 2020 and there are still absurd covid "safety measures" in place.

most rational people (regardless of vaccination status) are just tired of getting micromanaged by overreaching state and want their freedoms back.

most politicians on the other hand gained more power with covid and don't wanna give it back.

they enjoy acting like wanna be dictators and will keep the charade going as long as they can.

now of course its worth mentioning canada has very inefficient and unsustainable single payer healthcare system and those supporting that system know it. so instead of rethinking how to improve the healthcare system, they just double down on their ideological believes and are willing to turn their country into a dictatorship in order to preserve it.

 

[Koro_11]

This covers a lot of ground but this line is spot on;

"The aim is to shut down legitimate protest"

Agree or not, but once the precedent is set, these measures can be used to shut down whatever protest anyone else wants to organize. And that should concern everyone.

The left is about to label Russel Brand a far right nazi lol

More than nationwide now, this is happening all over the world but most bootlicking journalists avoid reporting it.
