I can't help but look at it this way now. I'm all for protesting against government overreach but this is all so retarded now. Whatever the initial intention was is now long gone.

Yah, hate to say it but we just recently had an election. Libs were pretty upfront about their approach to pandemic, vaccines, mandates, etc. Libs won the election. I prefer the Libs > Cons ... I don't personally like JT but democracy has spoken. Freedom to protest, for sure but when you start affecting majority of people's livelihood, time to go home.

From above posts.

Hey Trucker dad, why can't your son have the freedom to express how he feels? Why are you mandating him how to act and your way to be a 'man'?

Protests are starting to slowly end. The boarder blockade in Ontario has come to an end. The Pac boarder crossing has been mostly cleared. The Ottawa protesters are moving from residential areas. Alberta is the last one that is not moving.

Your thoughts on this news? Turd is reportedly going to invoke emergency powers in response to the protests in Ottawa. The Emergency Act.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tru...inet-1.6350734

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told his caucus he will invoke the never-before-used Emergencies Act to give the federal government extra powers to handle the protests across the country, according to sources.

The Emergencies Act, which replaced the War Measures Act in the 1980s, defines a national emergency as a temporary "urgent and critical situation" that "seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it."

It also gives powers to the prime minister to respond to four different types of emergency scenarios: public welfare (natural disasters, disease), public order (civil unrest), international emergencies and war emergencies.


https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canad...cid=entnewsntp

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will invoke emergency powers in response to the protests in Ottawa, according to CBC.

Trudeau will inform provincial premiers of his decision during a virtual meeting Monday morning, CBC reported, citing unnamed sources.

The prime minister has faced pressure to use the military to end the demonstrations and has repeatedly said he thinks it’s a bad idea. However, in an interview with CTV News, Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair said the government is prepared to use “emergency powers” if needed and characterized border blockades as a national security threat.

Under Canadian law, the federal government can enact emergency powers that allow it to prohibit travel within a specified area or remove personal property, while imposing fines or jail time on people contravening new orders.

Meanwhile, before going on a conference call with Trudeau and provincial premiers Monday morning, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced the province would lift most pandemic restrictions, including vaccine passports, by March 1. Masking would still be required until at least mid-March

^ Like father like son.

Seriously, they should have prevented instead of reacted. They knew the truckers were coming. In Toronto, they put up road blocks and did not let trucks enter into Queens Park. Go ahead and protest and drive your trucks around and honk your horns ... but no entering these particular areas/zones. As with the Meng case, prevention would have solved a lot of headaches after.

He should have just let those protests die out on their own. This isn't a great look because we're at the tail end of the action people are taking. People are going home because they're tired, hungry, and in some cases; freshly unemployed.

This gives some of the more suspicious and conspiracy-minded people license to bitch about gub'ment over-reach.

Its a dumb move to do it at this stage, imo. Its like throwing someone out of your house after they've already put on their coat and are headed to the door.


Unrelated but;

I was explaining to someone down here the problems with the protests and the use of children to block the roads to the Windsor/Detroit border. Their immediate response was "just take the children away then" which was.... a response....

I told them that it was a tricky thing to do because of Canada's not-so-spectacular history with that sort of thing and they didn't seem to find it to be too big of a deal.

No matter what people tell you, folks, there is a BIG difference between the American and Canadian perspective on issues sometimes.


Edit: Also unrelated to both points above;

I'm sure this is nothing to worry about, right?
