Again "Point was, Roxham Road has been there for well over a hundred years as an uncontrolled border crossing. Anyone and everyone could cross there, and did. There is no way to quantify or conclusively say how many people have used that entry into Canada over those many many decades. ". "As we all know, Canada always accepts refugees. " Roxham Road is "complete with an RCMP detachment, immigration officials and temporary offices that have become permanent — is now taking in hundreds of people per day at times from the United States. They aren’t fleeing persecution stateside; in fact, they are often people who have been given a bus ticket north to Canada by the U.S. government." https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-with-roxham-road-trudeau-is-importing-an-american-political-problem Quebec now wants it closed so, maybe because Quebec wants it, Roxham Road may be closed. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/quebec-drive-to-close-roxham-road

So many posters stroking each other.... can be called a circle jerk LOL Ya just don't like it cause it don't fit your sorry narratives LOL Over half the report is based on your sides testimony... sucks when the protest leaders could not even defend themselves and their statements screwed themselves.

As you insinuating that political correctness or the cancel culture are an act of politeness??

Angti vax nonsense from WestConMan... again LOL Disagree with me and I will call you names. Boo Hoo West Con LOL

So, the report is out. Emergency Measures Act was justified...... "'I have concluded that in this case, the very high threshold for invocation was met,' the commissioner wrote. " While there was reluctance is saying so, bottom line is the actions was justified. ".....the origins of the Freedom Convoy. I conclude that it was not an organization with clear leadership, rather, it was a movement comprised of people who shared certain social, economic and political grievances, but also had countless individual views." "However, like any large group, there were a diversity of views and intentions amongst the participants in the Freedom Convoy. Amongst the many who intended to protest peacefully were others who had more sinister goals, or who were willing to engage in dangerous conduct to achieve their desired ends." "I have concluded that, when the decision was made to invoke the Act on February 14, 2022, Cabinet had reasonable grounds to believe that there existed a national emergency arising from threats to the security of Canada that necessitated the taking of special temporary measures. I do not come to this conclusion easily, as I do not consider the factual basis for it to be overwhelming. Reasonable and informed people could reach a different conclusion than the one I have arrived at. I also reach this conclusion reluctantly."

OPP also was demeaned.

Point was, Roxham Road has been there for well over a hundred years as an uncontrolled border crossing. Anyone and everyone could cross there, and did. There is no way to quantify or conclusively say how many people have used that entry into Canada over those many many decades. Yes. there was certainly huge influx in the past few years, due to American policy and illegals there became refugees here. As we all know, Canada always accepts refugees.

Actually, Roxham Road has a very long history of "illegal" or uncontrolled border crossing. It was only as a result of the US initiative to remove "illegal immigrants" that asylum seekers at Roxham Road came to the forefront and public attention. Prior to the threatening action by the then US government, it is really not known how many people used the Roxham road crossing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxham_Road How to use Roxham Road: http://www.bridgesnotborders.ca/crossing-at-roxham-road.html

I get what you are saying but.... it is a nonsensical point. Firstly, the feds do not hire doctors. Secondly, every provincial government, local government, health district and hospital is trying to hire doctors but, there are none to be hired or none that want to work where they are being recruited. Thirdly, the same governments are trying to hire health care workers but again, there are no enough applicants. Fourthly, some provinces are offering tuition free health care schooling. So, the fact is that Canada is trying to fulfill its NATO commitments.

So sad yet so predictable. Such a west coast man.

Roxham Road has been there for a very long time,through many governments and it is still there. They have been detained at the border. They set up encampments for the detainees. Sanctuary cities is the major problem. Everyone knows about them and use them.

Bottom line is that elections, and not just Canadian, have been influenced or tried to be influenced by all sorts of organizations (unions, companies, corporations), people (Soros ("Ms. Freeland is quoted in the Globe and Mail stating that, “Soros had ‘very great hopes for Canada’", Koch and/or Canadian equivalents like Levant and Black) and news papers/groups/blogs/pages and , of course, countries that have financial or political interests in Canada.

Freedom fighters or terrorists. Not picking sides. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Depends on what side you are on or sympathize with. What were the Jews prior to 1948?

Infidelity does not make him a bad mayor. Who knows what personal issues led to the affair. He has proven to be a good mayor and should be able to carry on. No one is perfect and everyone does things they are not proud of but, it does not in any way mean they cannot do their job. No one, let alone politicians are puritans. Those that condemn him should look in the mirror and see if a puritan is looking back..

Just another WestConMan vax thread. So sad LOL

Well, they do charge the patient for services not paid for by the government. (some injections, some services, records, TB tests, PAP tests, prostate blood test, other things not covered by provincial plans) https://mcithedoctorsoffice.ca/policies/uninsured-services-pricing/

People think there are 2 groups of doctors. Ones that work in hospitals and only for the government and others that are "private". Clearly, they did not think that through. There are doctors that sometimes work in their office and give provincial services in that office and other times charge for services rendered in that office. Then they go to hospitals ad do procedures in the hospitals and then they also go to clinics and perform procedures there. They are the same doctor in every case. So, "private" really means nothing, it already is what it is.

Call me what you want to make yourself seem righteous or important but the fact is, no one showed up to fete the truckers. I snitch on no one. Y'all can do whatever stupid thing you want. You have every right to be a fool. I am just stating facts. If you are so smart and have better information, dispel them Or, as you so often do when you have nothing else and are proven a loss, just down vote LOL

Correct. I am not sure what people think a doctors job or service is. He?she are private workers with hospital privileges. They can help patients within the provincial system or outside of it at any time. My friend needed hip replacement but the wait list was so long there was no help in sight so he got it replaced "privately". Those same doctors worked within the provincial system too. Some days they did operations in the hospital under all the rules therein and on other days they did it within a clinic under those rules. Are they double dipping?? For sure and have been for as long as I can remember. Oh and, m any of those nurses also work in hospitals as well as in clinics. So, in Ontario, all that is being done is recognizing private clinics and sending work their way with provincial approval.

There was no protest the other day as was so predicted by the supporters.. There were a few diehards that came out to celebrate a non event. Point was to show those that do not live in Ottawa that there was an attempt to fete the anniversary and no one really showed up. Proving how much (little actually) even the supporters care anymore. You cannot even back up your event. The supporters even said they would move the event to Winnipeg and no one showed up there at all LOL So, Suck it up sweeties, ya had your 15 minutes of fame and now you can go back to your oh so ordinary simpleton lives and be someone you ain't on the forums LOL

Nice try LOL All 8 or 12 celebrants showed up to fete the truckers protesters. It is a fact that most Canadians did not support the action of the truckers. I am right when I said the pimple on Canada's ass was squeezed and the pus came out. It is all gone now LOL .

So, anniversary of enactment of the EMA to shut down trucker went by. Lots of talk, lots of banter and in the end, only a handful of people showed up. A few diehards, no one cares anymore. LOL The blackhead on Canada's ass was squeezed out LOL

You are such a little person full of paranoia. Hoping and wishing you were more but, stuck at being small so you do what you do best, whine and complain and feel sorry for yourself. LOL

How to help those travelling down the right wing rabbit hole https://medium.com/progressively-speaking/how-to-help-people-lost-down-the-right-wing-news-rabbit-hole-13c583c4aed9 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/13/nyregion/right-wing-rhetoric-threats-violence.html The truly sad thing is that there are few open minded people anymore. You have to be either right wing or left wing and how dare you think for yourself. Both sides have good (and bad) points and real thinkers will see that and act on what is correct for them. Political evangelism has become the norm and is tearing countries apart. "Political correctness (or cancel culture as we call it today) is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." Harry S Truman. 1941

I am fully aware of "basics of allegations and evidence." I think it is you that assume you know everything. They have been very clear in announcing they were tracking it from the point of departure to when they shot it down. You must have missed that in defending your China posts. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/feb/6/us-tracked-chinese-spy-balloon-start-held-attack-n/

399 patients out of over 4 billion vaccinated persons?? LOL. Now that is a valid study???? LOL LOL
