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

[–] [email protected] 107 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

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.

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".

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

“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.”

@northmaple1984 @sik0fewl your statement kinda loses its impact when you realise he didn't do what you described.

lol WHAT ABOUT the time Trudy cucked the Ottawa police when they couldn't perform

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

Countries can be going through their own struggles and stand against foreign tyranny at the same time.

Careful what underwear you put on there, Trudie

For downvoters: Navalny was poisoned with novichok on his underwear
