Zeitgeist

I think if all mandates and restrictions are lifted, including masking and especially vaccine passports, that restores pre-pandemic freedoms, which are among the freest in the world. The Liberals don’t support our Charter protections, however, and they are entrenched in our government as “natural ruling party.”

Wrong. Every Canadian has the right to go to Parliament Hill to protest. When some provinces closed their borders that was a constitutional violation of our right to interprovincial travel as Canadians. You also can’t prevent Canadians from returning to Canada, so instead our government fines people.

What are you talking about? People have access to vaccines and PPE. There are treatments. 90% of us are vaccinated. Drop the totalitarian measures. It’s supposed to be a free country.

Saskatchewan is unwinding what it can.

Provincial governments have followed suit on the most part but some have gone further. Quebec.

Peckford himself says it. Lazy. You think you’re more of an authority than the former senator who penned our Charter protections.

Defending restrictions and mandates is the full-time job of our federal government now. Good, the Liberals are branding themselves as the Oppression Party. Untenable.

Who are you? Are you really a Canadian?

Okay you’re way out of your depth. Watch the Peterson interview with Peckford.

Not for long. No vaccine passport, no interprovincial travel if the Liberals pass their next fascist directive on trucker vaccination.

Well we’ve seen the results of mass protests to overturn totalitarian regimes in Eastern Europe and how civil rights marches have overturned discriminatory policies in the US. My sense is that Canada has a de facto one party system right now, because anyone who opposes the violation of our Charter is cast by the PMO and state-funded media as a moronic extremist biohazard. Smart, inquisitive people are calling it out, but Trudeau has Biden and China in his corner. Trudeau doesn’t care about our constitutional protections. He has abdicated our sovereignty by putting our government policy in the hands of an international public health body. Chrétien never would’ve done this. He understood the importance of exceptionalism to protect Canadian values. The Brits would never do this either.

That’s your criteria for freedom?

You don’t value constitutional protections. The price that our citizens are being forced to pay and the loss of rights that citizens are suffering under mandates is anti-Canadian. It’s sick actually. Remember what you’re supporting. Hardner too. You’d both be easy pickings for a Maoist regime. If you’re not willing to defend the Charter it will be violated and you’ll get the system you deserve. Already there. Canadians are currently living under totalitarian, unconstitutional policies.

It’s the ongoing attempt to paint them as “fringe” and extremist. I bet most Canadians support them. I bet most regular soldiers, police, firemen, farmers, construction workers, and most frontline workers support the protest. Who doesn’t support them? Trudeau and his patrons, gullible viewers of biased media messages, most Liberal die hards.

Vaccine passports are unconstitutional. Our Charter would never allow for citizens to be required to show proof of vaccination to access citizens’ rights like boarding a train or re-entering Canada.

I disagree. Medical discretion is a critical human right, as is freedom of movement and access to basic freedoms like taking a train. These rights are enshrined in our Charter and can ONLY be suspended temporarily for emergencies ONLY as much as is necessary. Vaccine passports are unconstitutional.

Only anecdotal. I don’t know anyone who supports the mandates and restrictions except my mother, but she lets my father navigate the sharks. Ignorance is bliss.

Well let’s see. Canada’s institutions are of British Parliamentary origin. Our Senate and GG/Queen can act if it’s deemed that the government is working against the people, violating their rights and freedoms. The Supreme Court must respond to constitutional challenges — and they are coming! When one of the writers of our constitution and our foremost intellectual are crying foul, look out. Peckford is bringing challenges forward. Also, let’s not underestimate the power of people. The truckers are part of a bigger movement, which I think is turning the tide of public opinion. People are getting fed up with the overblown accusations of the Liberal government against middle of the road Canadians concerned for their freedoms. Unfortunately all of this talk of freedom, which should be the concern of all Canadians and Americans, is too easily turned into partisan grand-standing. I didn’t like Trump, but I now see that Biden is seriously putting American democracy at risk. Something has to give and he’ll pay dearly in the next elections. So should Trudeau.

Trudeau is setting Canada up as a country of reduced liberty where the executive can violate constitutional protections by fiat. Arbitrary, undemocratic, unconstitutional.

Biden implemented that because Canada did. Biden should scrap it and I hope pressure mounts on him to do so.

It’s nautical and signifies danger or distress.

But that’s why we keep getting Liberal governments. I used to like the LPC in the Chrétien days. Sad what’s happened.

Before you travel to England – not fully vaccinated Before you travel to England you must: take a COVID-19 test – to be taken in the 2 days before you travel to England book and pay for day 2 and day 8 COVID-19 PCRtests – to be taken after arrival in England complete a passenger locator form – to be completed in the 48 hours before you arrive in England You will need to enter the booking reference for your day 2 and day 8 tests in the UK passenger locator form.

Britain God Save The Queen

But the problem for conservatives is vote-splitting. Really the CPC needs to absorb the PPC as they absorbed the Reform Party. Then they should have a leadership contest. I sincerely believe that if Polievre won the leadership, Trudeau wouldn’t stand a chance. Singh has turned out to be a spoiled hypocrite who declares racism when people disagree on policy, like Trudeau. Regular Canadians know there’s something rotten in the state of Canada.
