Thank you. He sat in jail for 3 weeks on principal.... right? Time he will never get back.

Yesterdays show with the convoy attorney and leaders in full performance was funny as hell. They were as disorganized and confused as the police were. They contradicted each other, they lied to each other, they told different stories and one even said he is a different person now than the one on the Hill in February LOL Wow, he has seen the light ??? Clearly, there were so many different reasons for being at the protest, no one got their message across and they others did not like it. The messages got lost with the infighting.

Boo Hoo Feelings hurt NOT ?

Unfortunately, inflation hits everyone. If everyone demanded inflation equal raises, then inflation would just continue and even get worse. I went through huge inflationary years and did not get inflationary raises. Had to make do. Yes, it is difficult to live in large centres abut, it is easier in smaller centres. Do you give those in Toronto higher wages than those in Thunder Bay? The workers in question are in several job titles. These jobs have different wage categories. Saying $39K is bit misleading and is starting level of those jobs. Admin people make one wage, EA's in another cleaners and janitors in another. I think the government is offering 2.5 for the lower levels and 1.5 for higher levels. Who is the bad guy here? The government that has only XX money to spread around? Or CUPE demand for 11.7 % annual raise for 4 years, five additional paid days before the start of the school year, 30 minutes of paid daily prep time, an increase in overtime pay, and a $100 million investment in new job creation? Remember that is for only 194 work days a year. More unions will be coming at them. soon This union is holding kids as ammunition and are saying it is all for the kids yet, will close schools to get the money they want. Deja vu all over again...

I agree. Although, refinement will be impossible because of Quebec.

For the kids game all over again. Heard this before by Ontario education workers. The notwithstanding clause has been used 33 times by different provinces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_33_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms

Who is laughing about him going to jail, just stating facts. Laughing that is sucks to be him.

Bottom line....Still spent 3 weeks in jail. Sucks to be him LOL

He is the pastor at fairview baptist church. He still spent 3 weeks in jail.... Ha, a martyr, Ha.

Did not say anything about suing the government. Missed this did ya?? "Fairview Baptist Church still faces outstanding charges under the Public Health Act."

Repeat: Back on topic. So, today is the start of the debacle organizers Q&A's. Sounds like the police services were not the only ones that were disorganized and in conflict with each other. Chris Barber "He is a self-described internet "troll" who admitted to posting racist, anti-Muslim memes online. He also displayed a Confederate flag in his businesses. He said those flags are still there in his garage, but not on display. "There was no official leader of the convoy, Barber said.But they hadn't even arrived in Ottawa before rifts between the organizers began, Barber told" "It was a power struggle a lot of the time," he said." "Barber said he was often at odds with another organizer, James Bauder, who runs a group called Canada Unity. " "Barber said some of them became concerned about the role of Pat King, another organizer." https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/power-struggles-made-it-hard-to-manage-freedom-convoy-inquiry-hears/ar-AA13BmPs?ocid=EMMX&cvid=6d3ecdbc463e474ead4df55a768658a4 "I can honestly say that if anyone learned anything or grew during the convoy, it was me. I was a different person nine months ago. Coming out here and seeing the amount of love, all different colours, all different races ... it changed me," he said. Barber said he also struggled to control a contingent of French-speaking protesters who set up at the intersection of Rideau and Sussex streets near Ottawa's Chateau Laurier hotel." https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/convoy-inquiry-hears-of-death-threat-against-freeland-as-organizer-describes-power-struggle-among-protesters/ar-AA13CK7I?ocid=EMMX&cvid=6d3ecdbc463e474ead4df55a768658a4

"traditional values" has me confused. What tradition? What values are those? Religious? Christian religious? All of blackbirds posts lean heavily to christian religions and there are many religions and they all have value to their followers. "MAGA types" seem very "christian value" driven. Are these conservative values only and all others are to be spurned? I see a value in both sides and some other sides too. Values are not a one sided thing. They can be a triangle, square sided or even a pentagon. King James values are one small part, a very small part, in todays world.

"Is post modernism one of the evils of modern western society that drives Federal politics?" No. Social media and ability to be anonymous is the avenue for the discourse and drives todays politics. People blindly buying into the rhetoric of political leaders such as Trump has invaded politics everywhere. Quite reminiscent of the political leanings in Germany in the late 30's where a popular leader brainwashed the populace. People vehemently preaching, be it the literature in the Bible or political philosophy to gain popularity or foothold for gains, personal or professional, are what drives politics.

Why? Are you that unkempt and emit such an offensive odour??

Hey... I get it that you think you know more than doctors, health officials and scientist.. What you don't get is I do not think you have any credibility. When you finally understand that, you will be OK. Oh and, the topic is the Emergency Act Commission.

Says westie "I would know that I've taken flu shots in the past and ended up hung up in bed for about a month... " Yeah but you self diagnosed it as flu LOL

I linked the science dude. It is what it is and you ain't.

Self diagnosed with the flu Eh?? LOL

Naaaw, ya don't wanna do that. he will probably tell you to get vaccinated LOL

It is obvious to me that you have no idea what COVID is and that what it is today is not what it was in 2020 and certainly not what it was when it started as SARS-CoV-2 way back when. When it became a world pandemic that SARS-CoV was already at COVID 19 and it has constantly mutated since then. "Viruses constantly change through mutation and sometimes these mutations result in a new variant of the virus. Some variations allow the virus to spread more easily or make it resistant to treatments or vaccines. As the virus spreads, it may change and may become harder to stop. Regardless of the variant, a surge in cases can impact healthcare resources Even if a variant causes less severe disease in general, an increase in the total number of cases could cause an increase in hospitalizations, put more strain on healthcare resources, and potentially lead to more deaths." https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/index.html So, keeping on saying that vaxxed people get it is correct but, by not saying that it is a mutated version of COVID and the last vaccination is ineffective is what you are missing. Every variant is a new problem and a new vaccine is needed.

100% wrong. There are a multitude of issues, illnesses, diseases, sicknesses, that "the person" would not know about if it was not for a doctor or, if "the person" realized something was wrong, it would be too late. So no, "the person" is not the one to know their body better. No bureaucrat made those decisions, they only relayed and acted upon the expert advice.

Are you actually saying China is telling you the truth??? It was leaked that 2 days ago at Shanghai Disney world they won't let anyone out until they test negative. That was leaked, for sure not an announcement by the government controlled media. So, is Shanghai Disney the epicentre or did they make covid there or is it just there and the rest of china is covid free?? You say our government controls the media and you are trying to imply that what Chinese media does or does not say is the truth??? You are certainly bent in the wrong direction LOL

COVID killed over 46,000 a lot more than flu. Lets blow your flu death BS out of the water. 2020-2021 influenza season During the 2020–2021 Canadian influenza season, no community circulation of influenza occurred. Only 69 positive detections of influenza were reported, and influenza percent positivity did not exceed 0.1%. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/flu-influenza/influenza-surveillance/annual-reports.html "Did you ever wonder how they know that? The fact is, they don't know that. "This is a scientific guess. This is not the truth," Dr. Michael Gardam, director of the infection prevention and control unit at the University Health Network in Toronto " "The fact is, no one knows how many people die after being infected with the flu virus. The death estimates are not based on body counts, lab tests or autopsies. "I think people may have the misconception that every person who dies from the flu is somehow counted somewhere, and they're not," Gardam said." https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/flu-deaths-reality-check-1.1127442 Who invoked war measures?? You BS so much, you actually believe your own BS LOL

Invoking EMA had nothing to do with the "flu-like epidemics". It was the debacle on Wellington Street and in Windsor and in Coutss. The "flu-like epidemics" killed over 46K in Canada and 6.5 million world wide so, be it "flu like" or COVID, it is definitely a major health crisis and action needed to be taken world wide. The EMA invocation had nothing to do with that, it had everything to do with a very few radicals, extremists, protesters, heros, bums, terrorists or whatever groups and news and critics called them.
