crushing peaceful assembly, protest & associated civil disobedience in violation of their solemn oath to bear true & faithful allegiance under Section 1 of the Charter of Rights & Freedoms "subject only to such reasonable limits as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society." most egregiously seizing private property without court order, with no judicial review there is no law in Canada which empowers them to do that, including the Emergencies Act thus that is utter lawlessness, seizing bank accounts without any authority other than intimidation by definition, that is literally our government committing bank robbery by any other name if they can get away with that, they can get away with anything, they could get away with mass murder

oh I love Goddess, worship the ground she walks on she's come for me in the darkest hour, a total stranger, reaching out to send her dearest regards I will never forget

I’ve come to the conclusion that the milquetoasts like Hardner who defend mediocre and sometimes malignant government practices are actually pretty dangerous when the going gets tough because they’ll go along and give tacit approval. Psychologists have puzzled over how dictators could win hearts and minds, but we know that fear has tremendous power. We also know that people can be very unquestioning and almost zombie-like through social conditioning. The rise of Hitler has been described as mass hypnosis. Hear and see enough messages, fear enough, and feel exhausted or resigned enough and people will accept all sorts of injustice.

I didn't even know who Pat King was I simply answered a stand to invoked by decorated veterans in the breach

Watch carefully. bunch a racists!

Desert is a place, not a food. Pat King was held to a higher standard, because Trudeau's own bigotry and hate-mongering wasnt addressed. A college is a place where you continue your education beyond the HS level, a colleague is a person you work with. I don't even know what you meant when you said "wanted him to dispensary".

LOL. I have unvaxed family. Their choice; I still associate with them and don't even harass them though we did discuss it civilly. Both have jobs, BTW, one in government. Real life constantly contradicts the hyperbolic claims you people make. I've said before and I'll say it again: I'm not convinced the EMA was needed, but I do think the protesters crossed the line of civil behavior. I suspect the government will lose this one, but we shall see.

Don't lie about the efficacy of the covid-19 vaccine.

Gosh no. The vaccine is totally safe and effective. Right?

The obvious is that the Democrats MUST win to keep their globalist commitments. Thus they ARE going to make an attempt at rigging the election. They have to. Thus the 'it may take days or weeks to count all those votes' comments coming from the Democrats.

I'm kind of done arguing the obvious with people committed to remaining in the dark. I post the studies and data, what people read or don't read, believe or don't believe any more is up to them.

Those evil wepubwikins!

The laughing icon merely gives me a +1 Thanks for your support.

Preston Manning announced that he'll be having his own citizens inquiry into the use of the Emergency Act by Herr Trudeau.

Ignore him. He's admitted many times he's a troll. He lies continually. Those who supported the convoy on this forum never brought up Pat King. He was brought up by trolls like this supposed ex-military troll and Hardner who feeds at the MSM slop pail and believes the government cares about him.

3 days Libbies.

no, I can't watch this commision I'm too busy working building a war chest to survive the coming economic catastrophe I can't worry about that which is beyond my control so I don't actually watch the news

My recollection is that ones like yourself and especially Hardner, kept bringing him up as being one of the primary leaders of the convoy and the reason why the EA must be invoked. You did it because the media and government led you to do it. My recollection is that the ones here like myself who supported the convoy - we had either never heard of the man or only heard the name and not much else. No one was "heavily" behind him. I tried and tried to tell Hardner that the man was a nothing, but with his media-addled brain and rock-solid conviction that the governmental and media institutions are super trust-worthy and should be followed - no questions asked - he wouldn't accept any other narrative than what was portrayed in the media. My recollection is that you were the same. Hardner was worse, but if anyone was "heavily" behind King - it was you two.

For many of us, the scariest part is how quickly and easily the vast majority of citizens were not only convinced to give up their rights and freedoms, but also turn on their fellow citizens who wanted to fight for them. It's been shocking how quickly and easily average people were led down the path into the thinking that death was unacceptable and we needed government to protect us from it. The Scamdemic was built on the premise that EVERYONE was at risk of dying of Covid. But it was clear who was at risk right from the beginning - the old, already very sick or obese. Before Coronamania, most people understood that human bodies wear out. During Coronamania, many old, sick, obese bodies coincidentally wore out after having tested Covid-positive - according to a test yielding 70-90% false positives. Many of these deaths were falsely categorized as Covid-driven. The average age of those who "died with Covid" was 79.5. This is a year longer than the average American life. 94% of official Covid victims had multiple ailments, typically weight-related, that elevated their death risk. Most who died with Coronavirus would also have died without it, either at the same time that they did die, or a few weeks or months later. The rage that many expressed about old people dying rang very hollow to me. Just prior to covid, I lost my grandmother who was 97 and in a nursing home. 40% of those who "died of Covid" lived in nursing homes. People sent to nursing homes are expected to die; over half perish within six months of admission. No one wants to end up in one, and few like to visit. How many who railed against nursing home deaths during Coronamania had previously, regularly comforted nursing home residents? Those who did would tell you that most residents were either despondent or unaware of their surroundings. I know, I’ve been there. Being old sucks. Capabilities are lost, health challenges pile up and stuff hurts. Younger people have abundant energy and pain-free mobility. They have wider social circles, things to learn and memories and futures to build. If it weren't for political opportunism, it made no sense, and was deeply unfair, to disrupt and sacrifice years of young people’s lives in a futile attempt to marginally extend the lives of older people who, unlike the young, had already had a fair chance to live. By supposedly protecting the vulnerable, the lockdowns, restrictions and mandates created an additional, much larger cohort of vulnerable people - very predictably. Those who supported closing schools, workplaces, houses of worship, restaurants, bars and other places where humans interact, destroyed the social lives of tens of millions of people, especially those under 35. The stress caused by economic reversals caused physical and mental issues among those not already worn out or ill. Overdoses and alcohol related deaths spiked. The Covid overreaction-induced economic coma caused massive job losses, many small business closures and much hunger, especially abroad. The concocted money wasted on Covid expenditures has caused generationally high, impoverishing inflation. Aside from wrecking young lives, the Scamdemic lockdowns, restrictions and mandates have hurt the people they were supposed to protect, namely the old. A fear was built and encouraged that ruined the limited time that old people had left to live. People were led to believe that Covid infection was a death sentence. Consequently, many older folks hunkered down, despite that, even among the super old, the odds of surviving infection exceeded 95%. The media contained nothing but panicked headlines and misleading statistics, screeched at us every 15 mins. The government and media dished out 26 months of mass-scale elder abuse. Lockdowns hastened elder deaths, whether with Covid or without it. During lockdowns, the old were deprived of immune-boosting, sunshine-derived Vitamin D. They were also more isolated and neglected, thus causing depression, and deaths of despair. Lacking the will to live, many ceased to live. Others, who died from other diseases, died in despair. Those with compromised cognition must have wondered why no one was coming to see them and, later, why everyone was wearing masks. But none of this mattered to the Coronamaniacs and the government bureaucrats they breathlessly folowed to the cliff. Interventions were arbitrary and nothing but cheesy political theater that caused much harm, and no measurable good. In February of this year, a Johns Hopkins study confirmed that Coronamania lockdowns caused mega human damage and no offsetting benefit. And no one wanted to listen to the ones who had predicted this in March, 2020 because they were being demonized in the press, but it was obvious that things would turn out this way. Coronavirus or no, old people don’t have long to live. During the Scamdemic, the media and government have wrecked the ends of many long lives by causing the old to spend their final months isolated and afraid. Grandparents missed time with grandchildren, who were never at risk and who didn’t transmit infection. And upon the passing of the elders, full families couldn’t gather to pay tribute to the departed, console the closest survivors and affirm their common heritage. It’s sad when old, unhealthy people die. But it’s not tragic. Whether we like it or not, life is finite. It always has been. When the human life span was around 40, Seneca said, “The problem is not that life is too short, it’s that we waste too much of it.” But dollar-driven and power-hungry forces are against this fundamental truth. Many profited from the Scamdemic lockdowns, masks, tests and vaxxes and ALL of this “success” was built by inciting and exploiting fear. It’s incredible that, since March 2020, too many people have bought the lie that ALL death, at any age or health status, is avoidable.

I'm hearing that voter turnout in Georgia is quite high now. So much for the Democrats spewing out all this Jim Crow 2.0 nonsense. Georgia marks record early-voter turnout in midterm elections (cnbc.com) Some news outlets are still trying to spin this with headlines like "voter turnout high, in spite of new voting laws".

yeehaw

The Constitution is to avoid the tyranny of the majority...something they were aware could happen.

Neither can you, HYPOCRITE!

Says a vax-Nazi.

Says a Trump sycophant.

If you want government to control prices vote Communist. Republicans sure as hell won't.

There's a really easy way to figure this whole covid thing out and whether the mandates, restrictions, coerced jabs, Emergency Act, lockdowns, etc were necessary: The censored and blacklisted doctors and scientists have been asking to have a PUBLIC discussion on the data and studies, since this began. The ones who are doing the censoring and have a stranglehold on governments and media have refused. Hell, they didn't even want the data to come out, it had to be forced from them legally. To the feeble-minded, this is, of course, just fine. To critical thinkers, it reeks of shadiness.

Gasbag.

If the election is called on Election Night, that means no fraud and Republicans control Congress. If it takes a few states a couple of weeks to certify their results that means the 2000 Mules have been working.

I've missed flamenco very much these past few years. Very much ? I've taken a couple of classes when they've been available and do drills and choreography on my own nearly every day - both the keep fit and not lose my talents.

Both these people I work with have been off this week with some sort of cold/flu again. Me and the other unjabbed at work - still hanging in there, shaking our heads.....how are people not seeing the jabbed getting sicker and sicker? They catch everything that goes around, get covid over and over and over and it's taking them a REALLY long time to recover from anything.

I could tell Goddess a few things about Spain I have spent some time in Andalusia living in a villa, in the old city of Granada with rooftop patio overlooked by the Alhambra

He knows he's lying. He's baiting you. I suspect he's also lying about the "military career." He displays none of the characteristics of someone who actually served in the military. Look at Army Guy and Dougie - fine and respectable gentlemen. this one admits he trolls. This is why I think he's a liar about the military thing, too.

She does have a team behind her. Greta Thunberg: The PR guru behind climate change activist’s rise | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site Greta gets a lot of attention from the adoring paparazzi who give her the movie star treatment. Her publicity stunts aren't all that green though. Captain of Greta Thunberg’s sailboat foils ‘zero emissions’ plans by flying to US | Washington Examiner I don't hate her, I just roll my eyes and wonder why so many people worship the ground she walks on.

The Left certainly does but it will rarely mock the high priests of climate change. Be they scientists or not.

Trump's tax policies brought in more manufacturing jobs from the far east than ANY other president or Congress in history. He cannot be blamed for the Obama virus shutting down the economy. And Unelected Joe has made things much worse. Neoliberalism is a cancer. It is a revival of Nazism. The camps are only a few years away.

Exactly. The pandemic became an excuse to strip away individual rights and downplay their significance in the name of “keeping people safe”. Keep yourselves safe. Once masks, vaccines, and better treatments became widely available, that excuse vanished. People had what they needed to protect themselves. In fact the elderly usually had the option to stay home. Instead of backing off mandates and restrictions or at least respecting the protesters and meeting with them to discuss a plan, the feds doubled down against them. They held all the cards: use of force, removal of licenses, a public forum and media to disparage the opposition, and a new frightening tool, the freezing of bank accounts. I don’t care if some call it paranoia or conspiracy: We have good reasons given our recent history of government overreach to be concerned about our rights. We wait in fearful anticipation of the next crisis and government measures to solve it. The talk of financial turmoil, climate crisis, digital identification, and digital government currencies, all in the context of our government’s use of the EA against the mandate protests, has given people good reason to worry. Sunak is now pushing the digital ID and currencies for G7 countries. It seems the British Conservatives are buying into more government control. I thought Britain has been freer than we are but maybe I spoke too soon. It’s deeply concerning how much government has come to control how we live. Our rights and freedoms can be shut down very fast and there’s little we can do about it. It happened for over two years. I’m not sure people will ever be the same. I see the fallout among kids and elderly. Keeping us safe? No thanks. Protecting our healthcare system? Change the damn healthcare system. Our liberal-democracy is tenuous. Our cultural values are increasingly confused. People are getting poorer. We can’t afford to compromise our way of life further. Or rather, has our way of life permanently changed? Is the American Dream dead?

I didn’t say to stop posting, I advised you to change your schtick. But it’s your dime, do whatever you want with it. it’s strange. I detest communism while many weak minded Canadians embrace it or socialism. You would think we’d find more things in common…

Yep

The limelight is fading for our dear little Greta. "What shall I do to bring it back and shining on me alone?" our little waif ponders. "oh! . . I know! . . . .I'll call for 'insurrection against western democracies' Yawn . . . .

I’m reminded of Al Gore boldly announcing that Florida and California would be lost to rising sea levels. Then he promptly bought an $11M home on the California Coast.

Greta should come try and survive a Sask winter without the use of fossil fuels

Yeah, and then announced they would not be pressing charges, when they should have. Comey. You do remember that press conference, don't you? And Hilary's reflections on the 2016 election after she lost: " You can run the best campaign. You can even become the nominee. And you can have the election stolen from you."

You need to check your timelines. Blockade was ended the day before the EA. As for my evidence about the 20k per day, this came out in yesterday's testimony.

On the scale of Justin Trudeau's? Justin doesn't like competition or anything not 'Justinfatuation' . . . .

No you don't. You offer exaggerated hyperbole and repeat vague complaints ad nauseum. The Emergency Act was a mistake and an overreach but that doesn't signal an end to democracy and you screaming into your pillow over it doesn't change anything.

The only people who pumped the word out of proportion were the butthurt whiners complaining about it. Though the Emergency Act was (IMO) clear and obvious government overreach, calling the protestors extremists was not the rationale for removing them. The fact that the Ambassador Bridge got closed and that downtown Ottawa grinded to a halt for 3 weeks was why they were removed. The fact that the term hurt your poor feelings is nobody's problem but yours ?. The term was apt. Get over it.

We disagree one a lot of things, but I can certainly acknowledge you're not one of the silly goof here just looking to pwn people with click-bait and one-liners. I know you're looking for intelligent debate. Again, you're really misunderstanding the word. Extreme is just "very very very something". The ideology can be anything (good or bad). Terrorism, however, is not an ideology in itself. It's the result of an ideology pushed to the furthest extremes and over the brink. However extreme you are, you can always get more extreme. I don't think blocking the world's most lucrative trade artery for 6 days because you don't believe in a pandemic that's killed millions is best described as "a little whacky". This was a targeted escalation not meant to create awareness or display discontent, but rather to inflict max pain on the people that disagreed with them. As far as economic blackmail goes, that's about as extreme as you can get without actually bombing the bridge. Bringing up BLM over and over isn't helpful for your argument. You're just demonstrating your bias. "But but but BLM!" isn't an argument. It's a deflection and it's totally unrelated. That's because your personal meaning for the word is made-up, self-defeating and arbitrary. The word "extremists" didn't change the debate. There were plenty of other perjoratives used to describe the truckers, and none of them invoked accusations of terrorism either. You getting upset about a word that was never intended as you described is purely a you problem and you're kind of just screaming into the wind.

I don't get the impression you were really open to being convinced, honestly. My definition is the actual definition, but I suppose it's easier to just have your own personal opinions on what words mean as it suits you. I very clearly explained the difference between what you think the word means and what it actually means. I gave you an example twice that highlighted that difference, and you casually shrugged it off without even acknowledging it. Being "a little nuts" is a surefire predictor of extremism. I'll concede to you at least that the EMA wasn't necessary to deal with the trucker protest, but in the same way that I don't think the army needs to be called to deal with Green Peace extremists.

More to the point, "no trade" with China would tank the economy, period. Populists suggest that we should make everything domestically. And as to where the Capital would come from to create this home side industry, and how it would be managed, the answer has to be massive government intervention in markets. So revealing, this paradox. They hate Trudeau, and yet under this vision he would lead Soviet Canuckistan, and decide who wins and loses...
