You have an election when Delta is the dominant variant and then Omicron comes along after the election. Do you want to have referendums on everything between elections. How do you change the system other than going to proportional representation and even then, someone has to form a government and they still probably won't have more than 50% of the popular vote. It's all about seats and the same thing happens in the US. Democrats regularly win the popular vote yet Republicans end up controlling the House, Senate and even the Presidency through gerrymandering and the electoral college.

With four or five parties holding seats there is almost no chance of one getting over 50%. I wouldn't object to some things being on a ballot but when you have emergencies which are in constant flux, that is not possible. Omicron didn't exist before the the last election and Covid didn't exist before the previous election.

Find me a post where I said that.

Where have I ever advocated violence against anyone? I never said he flag represents truckers, what I did say is that flag doesn't do their cause any good and they should do something about it if they want to be credible. The guy with that sign has zero credibility. Where was it taken and when by the way?

Who?

Police per 100K people Australia 219 Austria 335 Belgium 334 Denmark 196 England and Wales 217 France 422 Greece 507 Ireland 265 Italy 456 Japan 235 Netherlands 295 New Zealand 187 Norway 189 Scotland 318 Spain 534 Sweden 198 Switzerland 211 US 238 Canada 184 Quite the police state we live in.

They have been blockading truck crossings in Alberta and BC as well. Half a billion a day in goods cross that one bridge.

But why would you complain, they aren't doing anything you don't claim the right to do>

Sure you can, you just can't do anything you want

Well, in future when you see environmentalists blockading pipelines or other resources or infrastructure projects don't complain because they aren't being any more self righteous than you.

No, once the blockade is removed the country gets back to business. Your cause isn't so righteous that you get to hold the whole country ransom or ignore any laws you please.

It's a valid question. If they don't leave voluntarily, eventually they will have to be removed by force. This can't go on forever.

Since WW1 there have only been four elections where the winning party has had 50% or more of the popular vote. 50.0% in 1984, 53.7% in 1958, 50.0% in 1953 and 50.1% in 1949.

Borders have been blocked in Alberta and BC as well. The economic fallout may run much deeper than you think but we won't know that for awhile. How much it hurts the Liberals will depend a lot on how attractive the Conservatives can make themselves to the mainstream. One can only hope.

A lot of people are asking that question right now.

I shouldn't have to point this out but Hitler wasn't in power in 1931.

If this was Germany in 1936, everyone of those demonstrators would be in Dachau at least a week ago.

"Full on NAZI" , what an ignorant thing to say. You demean every one of Hitlers victims by making such a childish comparison.

If the Conservatives can get their act together and move more to the centre, the Liberals could be easy picking in the next election but based on their past performance, I'm not holding my breath.

I don't think it matters much what Trudeau does now. Lifting the restriction for unvaccinated truckers won't get them across the border as long as the US has the same rule, it will just open the country to unvaccinated American truckers. This has become a simple Trudeau hate fest, at least it has on this forum so there is no way he can make them happy. Mobs don't get to pick Prime Ministers in this country and we better pray they never do.

You really are a troll.

The virus still doesn't care what you or I think.

BTW, your heroes just tore down the fence protecting the war memorial.

Listen stupid, I don't know whether lifting them is the right thing to do or not and neither do you. All I am saying is that it is a risk and if it ends up overwhelming hospitals they are screwed. The virus doesn't give a crap what you or I think.

Got nothing to do with what I am. Or you for that matter.
