The statement kinda loses it's impact once you realize it's coming from a leader who illegally broke up a protest against himself and his government
It's pretty telling that you don't say what protest you're talking about. Is it the stupid truckers?
Which other protests ended with the federal government illegally using the Emergency Act?
Only if you're an idiot that compares the attempted genocide of a people to a leader ensuring trade routes remain open for businesses and a city's residents aren't traumatized by racist children that like to make noise.
Are you talking about those antivax pieces of garbage who harassed homeless people and local businesses because another country wouldn't let them across their border?
Aka the Karen konvoy
It's never okay for a government to freeze it's citizens bank accounts. Let alone for political reasons, that's fascist as fuck.
I think people with swastikas on their flags are usually considered fascist.
Maybe look into the paradox of tolerance.
Ahh, good ol' right wingers using words they don't understand to make arguments they don't fully comprehend.
Are you Canadian?
If you are you should be able to understand how a minority government can not be fascist.
It was perfectly legal. And those protestors asked for things like "no vaccine required to enter USA", Trudeau had nothing to do with that. Those protestors then degenerated into various conspiracy, and basically wanted to remove Trudeau and put a dictator instead. It was almost a coup, not a "protest".
I LOLed so hard when I heard their demands were the removal of our elected representatives to be replaced with THEMSELVES
That protest wasn't against Trudeau, it was against common sense.
We're talking about someone will the IQ and memory capacity of a goldfish
Hey now, don't be giving goldfish a bad name now - some have good memory capacity
https://www.livescience.com/goldfish-memory.html
Nothing more to say, just wanting to stand up for goldfish is all.
Peaceful protest it was not.
According to the courts it did not meet the standard of violence required.
Doesn't make it illegal bud. Learn how our system works before opening your COVID riddled mouth.
Why tf does it matter what the protests were about? You disagree politically so it's okay for the government to do that? That's a slippery slope.
I don't disagree politically bro, I disagree scientifically, and logically. Our government had a responsibility to remove you terrorists, they just did it a way that allows you twats to act like your oppressed.
"Slippery slope" is a logical fallacy.
The antivax cowards had many peaceful protests previously without issue. They weren't getting their demands met because their demands were idiotic.
So they escalated to disrupting the functioning of the government. Using psyops tactics against civilians. Harrassing civilians. Disrupting emergency services.
And for what? It wasn't to increase awareness of covid restrictions. These restrictions were placed on the entire population, we were all aware of them. No it was an attempt to affect a change using extortion. Changes contrary to the democratic will of the country.
Since you love the slippery slope fallacies, consider the slope in the other direction. If an organized crime outfit used intimidation tactics to get their way, could they declare it as a "protest" and get off scot free? Where do you draw the line in that direction?
If it wasn't illegal then the government wouldn't have lost the court case.
No, according to the courts (one court), an emergency in one city does not meet the requirements for the Federal emergencies act, and didn’t take into account the negligence of the multiple layers of regional policing and government who refused to act.
So you agree it was violent and not peaceful? Lol whoops.
He's not perfect but let's see Russians drive around with "fuck putin" on their truck and see how long that works out for them.
@can @northmaple1984
“Canada’s a free country! I can drive around with a ‘[BLEEP] Trudeau’ bumper sticker any time I want!”
“Ah, but Russia is *also* a free country. I *too* can drive around with a ‘[BLEEP] Trudeau’ bumper sticker any time I want.”
(Thank you, Soviet Anecdote Formula Number 46!)
@northmaple1984 @sik0fewl your statement kinda loses its impact when you realise he didn't do what you described.
https://canlii.ca/t/k2d9l
Courts disagree
@northmaple1984 One judge, to be appealed ≠ "courts"
@northmaple1984 @sik0fewl
Oh, F off.
lol WHAT ABOUT the time Trudy cucked the Ottawa police when they couldn't perform
There's a difference between illegal and not meeting a standard to use a policy.
Also y'all weren't protesting him you were protesting people with brains.
Funny, I seem to recall a bunch of bad actors larping as truckers blocking every single street in downtown Ottawa and blocking international borders obstructing trade. This wasn't just a bunch of people with signs down on the corner that Trudeau didn't like, they were intentionally stoking political fires and creating a national security issue. It was also shown that the "truckers" that didn't want to get vaccinated got vaccinated in overwhelming numbers, even greater percentages than other industries due to the need to actually cross borders to do their job. The protestors were funded by American fascist groups.
It took weeks of inaction from Ford and the Ottawa police before Trudeau finally had to act to restore order.
Countries can be going through their own struggles and stand against foreign tyranny at the same time.
OK then the statement loses it's impact considering he won't say a word against the Americans and the Assange thing. Never mind his various other large and small hypocrisies.
Wellll no. Shut up. That's just additional whataboutisms. You didn't add anything new to the dialogue refuting my statement. So shut the fuck up and stop diminishing the little bit of good. You have ample spaces to rant about everything that sucks.
