I refer to this as a tax on the poor.

Then your duty is to run for Parliament and fix things. And West could address the learned Public Health officials such as Dr Tam, show them your credentials and explain why you know more than they do. They are not infallible. The vaccine is harmless. I’ve had 5 shots and no problems. So has the rest of my family. I don’t know of anyone who has had any problems. Let me be clear. I respect your views. I make no claims of infallibility. A perusal of my posts clearly demonstrate I am not without error.

When the police find an impaired driver with a reading over a certain limit, they are authorized to seize the vehicle on the spot. The same happens when they find a large quantity of illegal drugs and cash, they seize it. Blockading a public road is illegal. Harassment is illegal. violation of public health orders is illegal. Violation of a court order is illegal. Mischief is illegal. The behaviour of the participants in the occupation, if found legal by the court, is still bad manners. It was not the kind of courtesy we should expect from Canadians. As for the justification for the EMA, we have to wait for the report of the Commission.

No he hasn't but what do his tax troubles have to do with anything other than him? He was never part of the administration, unlike all the felons from the Trump administration who have either been convicted or had to be pardoned, some who hadn't even been charged but knew they would be.

The Convoyers were terrorizing innocent civilians. The local police had proven to be feckless to have them removed. They were allowed to occupy space for 3 weeks. It was time to have them forcibly removed. I think most Canadians do agree.

Careful...that's another observation of the obvious. Mikey tends to want cites for those.

Show trial.. like Trudeau's father Fidel would do

But Putin hasn’t earned your mistrust?? Lmao

and Kanye West should be President of the United States leading the Republican party

Rocks! She was commenting on a QAnon (Is that really a thing in Canada?) protest in her city where they tried to tried to put Police Officers under Citizen's Arrest. https://www.blogto.com/city/2022/08/peterborough-mayor-calls-arrested-conspiracy-protestors-fckwads/ More politicians need to be this real.

I really see now how brainwashed Canadians have become about the state of the nation. They think their judicial system is free of political influence, that their healthcare system is great, and that their constitutional rights are respected. Years of government funded media rhetoric have had quite an impact. I remember seeing the country as you do. I’m not proud of Canada anymore. Whether it’s our most permissive in the world euthanasia (the final solution to saving money on our failed healthcare; even the budgetary officer noted this); our rewriting of history, incorrectly ascribing genocide to Canada as policy; or the total selling out of Canadian economic interests to curry favour with international green zealots, this country is becoming a soulless shell. Marxist-nihilist, woke-green China-light. Gross. Democracy has declined in Canada.

Every Canadian is innocent until proven guilty, seizing one's bank accounts is assuming one is guilty. And has far reaching consequences, when else has this been used in Canadian history, the Omar family never had their accounts frozen, and he was as close to a treason charge as you can get, come to think of it we paid him. To be fair it got carried away on all sides, and this commission is a farce whose outcome will play very little in the real world it will just be another folly for Justin on a very long list. And forgotten news come election time. It will do nothing to convince liberal voters to change their votes. so, what is the point, well it is entertainment, and a waste of tax dollars.

They froze the account of the guy who was offering accounting services to the convoy fund to ensure it met government requirements.. the guy had 13 kids. He has nothing to do with parking any trucks.. that was the police who directed traffick. If they fd up that's on them. Don't take it out on a 5 year old just to save face.. that's sick Alot like the Democrats targeting lawyers in the US to ensure the people they want to make an example of don't have access to legal council which is what they do in Venezuela or Russia The fact you support that is disgusting

One more time I'll say that systematically racist is not the right terminology. That would suggest that we have deliberate policies and methods explicitly designed to make things harder for minorities. Nobody is saying that. Systemically racist, on the other hand, points to the combination of unconscious, naive and sometimes completely innocent biases inherent in a society built and shaped by a dominant majority. You seem to just be focusing on the word "racist", taking it as an accusation of malfeasance or something. If you can't or won't acknowledge the difference here, I'm afraid there's not much to discuss because you're really just arguing with yourself. Nobody is telling you that. Your ability to drag yourself out of poverty is admirable. Consider your experience a success story and a testament to your resilience and worth ethic. Growing up in poverty is a huge disadvantage and the challenges it represents could be considered a systemic problem in Canada. Poor kids don't get the same opportunities as rich kids. That's a fact. The system is therefore biased towards rich families (systemic problem).

All of the problems for the occupiers could have been avoided if, when the Courts ordered them to leave, they complied. The truckers would not have been prevented from entering the US if they had been vaccinated like the overwhelming majority of their fellow truckers. It was a requirement by the Trump administration that entry into the US was restricted to vaccinated truckers. The Public Health restrictions by Provincial and Federal authorities worked as shown by the fact that the per capita death rate in Canada was one-third that of the US.

No, I support the rule of law. The people arrested were charged with breaking the law, however they are presumed innocent UNLESS proven guilty.

That's what Trudeau wanted to do. Instead he resorts to starving people out until they take his faulty vaxx and cuts access to their bank accounts in the middle of winter.. an act of war tolerated and promoted by his vile cult worshippers Dictatorships also imprisson political adversaries such as what Trudeau and his ilk did.. something you support which is disgusting

Under a dictatorship such as soviet Russia, the illegal occupiers would have been loaded into trucks and taken away on day one. They would have been driven into the forest, shot, and buried in a mass unmarked grave. No debate in Parliament, no media reports, and no inquiry,

How is it a misquote? Explain how you don't mean what's said here.

It's not aimed at white people. We're the predominant culture - the norm. The efforts are aimed at improving the situation and opportunities for minorities that are visibly struggling, and hopefully get them up to a point where we don't have to have these discussions anymore. There's tons of evidence. Economic status is heavily correlated with single-parenthood, and both of these are strong predictors of future prosperity for children.

What criminal convictions?

Aww muffin. Well you live in a country where the rule-of-law allowed for such things. The irony of all these patriot truckers no wanting to get vaccinated to cross the border is that their criminal conviction will make this a reality.

The scandals were buried by our media. They harped on the 2012 Duffygate ($90k in travel claims by a senator) thing for 3 full years. They called it an election issue in 2015. The SNC scandal happened in an election year and it wasn't "an election issue". Trudeau even blocked the RCMP's investigation into it. He fired JWR, our first indigenous female cabinet minister. Nope, nothin' to see here. Then the media let Trudeau say "I shoulda recused myself" about We and they just stopped talking about it, forever. FYI the We scandal involved 10,000 times as much money, it was a real scandal, and had 10,000 times less coverage. The debate moderators steered clear of scandal questions, they just kept the focus on the environment and other leftist gibberish. It was embarrassing.

but he says it's a misquote, even though it's a direct quote! ?

You sure it's not a MSM conspiracy?

Because of Biden's releasing the oil reserves. I understand he's still doing it. How will things look when that ends? Or...what will happen when the twit expends all the US strategic reserves?

Hydrogen is #1 on the Periodic Table. CITE!!!!!!!!

Average US gas price is currently $3.90 a gallon. It’s gone down a dollar.

Just wait till The Brigade here find out you can think for yourself.

Do you still beat your girlfriend?

It's okay. So far it appears the members here are free to speak their mind. It appears that debate is considered healthy here. I may have been mistaken about thinking he was very young, mostly because his views do not necessarily show a wealth of life experience. (It'd be nice if someone mistook me for a younger person.) Liberals and conservatives make for interesting discussions. And I try really hard to keep them as cordial as possible.

Oh! You're also a 911 Truther. Well there goes any credibility you may have had.

Years ago, Our FM, Lester Pearson, was talking to people. He even won a Nobel Prize. In the early 1980s, our PM Trudeau was flying to Europe on a Peace Mission. ==== Nowadays, our PM is sending more bombs for war.

If this turns into a Nuclear War, you won't be reading this. === As Marco Rubio, I fear that Putin will bomb places in Poland. RussIa has already bombed western Ukraine. Where do we draw the line?

All you NATO bitches really need to get a grip on reality...although it’s probably going to be more fun Watching your heads explode when the US runs out of money and there’s no one else to bail out Ukraine. We could actually see Putin pull a reverse Reagan on America.

No. Trust is earned. The western establishment has lost my trust. But you make the grand leap from that to...I obviously believe Putin? That is very dumb. Why must I trust either? I do not. What I trust, is my family and my own senses. Not always in that order, as I have 20-something kids. The US is about to land its military into Haiti. They install governments in banana republics all the time. As for 9/11...I knew the second I saw...live on TV no less...that second plane barrel into the WTC, that it had CIA written all over it. Then that farce of a 9/11 report came out and I had no doubt. Do you realize the great Al Qaida was a US creation to fight the Russians in Afghanistan? Ya...they financed Osama bin Laden and his gang for years. Beave...raw truth is a scary thing. In many cases, it's horrible. The Bay of Tonkin...another gem. I maintain faith in people though. I have to because the alternative is to simply give up and go along with whatever blatant lies were all fed daily. And I'm too stubborn for that.

According to the National Archives, your Tea Party website is lying. https://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/2022/nr22-001

So you have decided not to accept the committees findings. Unless of course it decides you are right. Same as elections.

You’re playing a shell game with language. Apart from the now Indigenous-maintained Indian Act, there’s virtually no systemic racism in Canada because systemic refers to system policies and procedures. Systematic also means codified racism, the same thing as systemic. What does exist is racist attitudes and unconscious bias, which are present in all ethnic/racial groups. Whites don’t have a monopoly on it. I agree that changing attitudes can take time and persuasion, but I sincerely believe that racist attitudes diminish with familiarity and trust that grow over time as we live among one another under fair policies, which we have. Awareness campaigns and education help. What we shouldn’t do is fight discrimination through new forms of discrimination. John McWhorter makes the very important point that, though racist attitudes and unconscious bias persist, they generally no longer prevent BIPOC from pursuing their interests and they generally don’t prevent the vast majority of people from different backgrounds from getting along. That’s what really matters, especially since no anti-racism training or affirmative action program is likely to eradicate or substantially diminish our natural affinity to our in-group (people who look and sound like us), and they certainly won’t eliminate unconscious bias. In fact they cause resentment and racism if they lead to unfair outcomes or characterizations of ethnic/racial groups. What does matter is how we practically manage to improve fairness and opportunity for all. It involves fighting all forms of injustice and removing barriers to opportunity for all groups.

Can you predict how hard the FBI is gonna work to get to the bottom of the Bidens' influence peddling racket, or how supposrtive CNN will be of Joe after his next nuclear level gaffe? C'mon. This is an exoneration festival, not a serious "commission".

No, the PM does not wield the power of a king. The PM is subject to the jurisdiction of Canadian courts, for one thing. You need to head back to grade 7 Social Studies.

Except kings’ decisions aren’t subject to a vote, or the courts. Your entire premise is silly, immature and ignorant of how the Canadian system works.

as a white person in Canada I am perfectly happy to surrender all political authority to non whites in Canada it's not like I vote nor have political affiliation now, I don't participate in the political process at all the government has stated that Canada is systemically racist, and guilty of genocide furthermore, white people have done an absolutely atrocious job of running Canada Canada is pathetic, not just an ignominious apartheid state, but an international laughing stock I propose that all white people in Canada be removed from office, and white people should not be permitted to vote white Canadians are the silliest most incompetent people on earth let's make it a law only non whites should vote, only non whites should hold office white people in Canada do not deserve to run anything, after running their own racist country into the ground again, let's get the South Africans to help Canada rid itself of endless white ignorance & stupidly

Don't confuse Trumpoid brains with facts. They can't handle the truth, only made up 'alternate truths'. Sack those libraries, burn those books, they're all fake news.

Which is indistinguishable to someone racist that can't even admit it to themselves. Not even when some institutions will openly admit to systematic racism within. No, here in this very thread we can see how many think that the systematic racism is in fact the very acts of trying to overcome it.

Does that mean you have already decided not to believe the committee’s findings?

Looks like the new Alberta premier has walked back the sovereignty nonsense already. I wonder what her supporters think of her doing that on day 1? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/sovereignty-act-danielle-smith-alberta-1.6612197 And then in her first speech she says the unvaccinated are the most discriminated-against group she has seen in her lifetime. Predictably, she has had to “clarify” what she meant and will be meeting with minority groups to explain herself. Next, will come an apology, I think.

Yes and the claims that mere contributors had their accounts seized...

God had better be okay with Lesbians. He made them.

Lol - ? - the irony! You should read. That's what happens when some responses are either ignored or skipped over. You end up giving your opinion blatantly based on sheer ignorance.
