Nobody stripped any decisions away from you. Much like you can choose to drive wearing a seatbelt or not at all, so too can you have other privileges and rights restricted if there's sound reasoning for it. The best part of Canada's Charter is Section 1: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. That section was explicitly included to prevent foolish people from trying to hide behind the Charter/Constitution when behaving poorly. The fact that you don't don't accept the government's or the Court's reasoning for mandates isn't important. Being angry and calling Trudeau a lying, totalitarian hate-monger (or whatever your slogan of the day is) doesn't qualify as a reasonable argument here or in our legal system.

We have weeks and pages and pages of explanations for why. The Courts have upheld that reasoning and explained why they don't violate the Charter and the measures are justified. The fact that you can't wrap your heads around that reasoning and choose to follow the path of nonsense is a "you" problem.

Yeah go ahead and choose not to. Nobody is stopping you. Just don't expect to have your way with everything else.

Your soy is showing.

Hmm I usually don't block people but this is some truly silly nonsense here. It's like you're trying to practice your prose for your next online fanfiction novel or something. First person I've blocked in years lol.

Where's your argument? We're still waiting. All we're really seeing is a bunch of brain-melting larping about Adolf Hitler, Imperial Hegemony etc. and then some awkward religious preaching.

I don't think you guys even really understand what the protest is about. WE ANGRY! FASCISM! REE! Not a lot to work with there.

Keep coping however you can Dougie.

Wow...um...Oh boy. Not really sure what to say to this.

So are we talking about armed rebellion now? Is that what's next? With this sort of hyperbole you just make yourselves look stupid and make the Emergencies Act look all the more reasonable.

You're the one bleating that quote over and over in every thread. If you're going to repeat it that many times, surely you can explain why you think it's so important and what you think it means, no?

My attempt at power? Wow this is next-level LARPing.

For a casual observer, the Adolf references would really undermine anything you say that they might mistake for intelligent discourse. Of course most of us here already know better and skim past 95% of what you write, but you keep doing you I guess.

Yeah I'm watching. They did an episode on South Park about this sort of thing. Weeks of protest amount to nothing but the protest leaders end up claiming victory when they're offered restaurant coupons and bubble-gum - just something to save face after they've failed to achieve their unreasonable demands.

Such a wide range of programs could cover it too. Political science, obviously, but certainly psychology as well. Philosophy professors would pick apart this dead-carcass reasoning too.

You're really wetting your bed over that quote aren't you? What do you figure "tolerate the unvaccinated" means? I'm genuinely curious because you're waving this around like it's a big red flag when it's a giant nothing-burger nobody cares about.

Yes we're all glad that our fascist overlords have stepped in to restore order.

You've written a 7-line paragraph that ends up saying almost nothing. You've brought up a myriad of different issues that all have complicated causes and solutions and you explain none of them. This post can pretty much be summarized as: All these things are bad. Everything is bad. We need to DO SOMETHING. Okay cool. Start a thread on any one of these topics and let's talk about it.

Right, so you're offering a straw man. There's not a person in all of Canada that thought that the Ambassador bridge blockade could shut down the Canadian economy, so thank God we also had you here to clear that up. I got a good chuckle out of your hyperbole comment though. Thanks. In that regard, the protestors have dug themselves so deep into the abyss that they'll never be able to claw their way back to credibility.

Who's my Supreme Leader again? You can never seem to decide which scary-bad-guy-sounding word sounds the most powerful and righteous, so I'm always getting it mixed up. Is Supreme Leader a communist, a fascist or a Sith Lord? Please remind me.

Pretty sure the legal argument was never "Ontario is shut down". It was, "$300M of trade crosses this bridge daily and it's being blocked". That's a bit of a straw-man. Sure. Now the bridge will open and a bunch of angry goofs got arrested. This is the Way.

It's over $300M/day in trade being blocked/rerouted/closed down. Your right to protest (or to be a pain in the ass) in Canada, the US or pretty much anywhere else, is not to do it wherever you want, whenever you want and for however long you want. A protest blocking a major trade artery like the Ambassador Bridge isn't just a protest anymore. It's a malicious attempt at coercion and by design meant to cause max economic pain. The Courts thankfully consider the rights of Ontario workers to fairly earn a living take priority over the rights of a circus of deluded morons to demonstrate in the most harmful way they can think of without outright being violent.

If it was in bad faith they'd not update the article at all. Regardless, the link you posted doesn't even work. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one, but you guys are messing your sources up far too often and need to get it sorted out.

So it's bad that they correct themselves? It's much better to get your internet off monkey brain conspiracy websites then, because they just say whatever they want and even when they're 100% bullshit they just repeat it enough times in enough different ways that the clown parade convinces itself it's real. "Everyone knows that...."

When your argument is more than just a slippery-slope fallacy. You can look that term up if you need time. I'll wait. This is right in line with some of the dumbest hyperbole that's ever been posted on this forum. You're so cringe.
