Steven Guilbeault has engaged in civil disobedience or criminal activity (depending on your point of view) in the past. He never faced any repercussions like many will face in the trucker protest. Now he sits in cabinet and forces idiotic policies down our throats.

I'm in a Liberal stronghold too. I do think people should be open to checking out more sources for their news. They might be surprised by what they find. My friends seem to be in the dark about what's going on in the world of politics and I think the reason for that is they only watch the local news channels, CTV seems to be the choice . None of my friends have ever written to their MP as far as I am aware. I'm guessing most Canadians are the same, just taking what the government of the day puts out for us. If all I watched was CBC, CTV or Global I wouldn't really learn anything. Tiktok and Dancing with the Stars is more important for most people these days.

But my point is what do the majority of Canadians think about using the powers of the Emergency Act against the truckers? We are being bombarded with totally different narratives. Canadians increasingly support Truckers, Freedom. Trudeau declares National Emergencies Act! | The Wentworth Report Two-thirds of Canadians support use of Emergencies Act against protesters: Poll - OrissaPOST The comparisons have been made between use of the War Measures Act by Trudeau senior and now the Emergency Act by junior. During the FLQ crisis there were bombs, kidnappings and actual murder. By comparison the trucker protest has been very peaceful although as I've said before they should not have shut down any roads or disrupted the downtown with the horns. This protest was clearly better described as civil disobedience and not terrorism as was the case with the FLQ. The truckers went too far with disruptions but the Trudeau reaction also went too far. It's the analogy of a bazooka to kill a mosquito. Just clear the blockages but there should be no heavy handed action like confiscation of property and bank assets. Doxxing people that have contributed to the truckers in good faith? The leftist media is doing that. Media targeting donors to Canada's protest leads to questions over free speech (nypost.com)

I should have pointed out that in this link it has the Conservatives at 39% and the Liberals at 31% but I have a feeling that would still mean a Liberal minority government.?

This is interesting but we all know how fickle voters are. I have seen some news clips about how the majority of Canadians support Trudeau on this issue so this poll doesn't support that.

While you malign everyone that is conservative.?

Liberal talk show host Bill Maher had also slammed Trudeau after he called the freedom protesters a "fringe minority" with "unacceptable views." "He said, but they take up space. And with that, we have to make a choice in terms of the leader as a country, do we tolerate these people?" Maher mocked. "Tolerate them?" he reacted to Trudeau's rhetoric in shock. "Now you do sound like Hitler." Bill Maher is the rarest of liberals in that he has some common sense.

I guess someone collecting pogey can't really be fired. It's amazing how much coverage this is getting worldwide. Trudeau has an enormous ego so I wonder what he thinks of all that negative press he's getting? Families of freedom protesters report 'difficulty banking' | The Post Millennial

Bail is not a crime but banding together to get violent offenders back on the street is dangerously stupid. Not good for society. Minnesota: Dems bail out creep who vowed to rape minors – IOTW Report Christina Yuna Lee's blood is on the hands of Democrats (nypost.com) EXPOSED: Here's How Many MILLIONS Democrats Spent On Bailing Out Monsters (trendingpolitics.com) Often bail is fair to the accused but when the accused are violent career criminals who are highly likely to offend again in short order they should not get bail so easily.

I have to wonder if Bob Rae would feel the same way if it were a pipeline blockade?

That's kind of a stretch in my opinion. Is it that big of a deal that truckers went there to eat? What would have happened if a large number of truckers went into a major retailer for food or supplies like Walmart or Costco? If a trucker filled his truck at a Petro Canada station? This reaction by the government is overkill if they're going to confiscate trucks and bank accounts. They would never react this way to Antifa or groups like Extinction Rebellion or BLM.

You should be made aware that all the major news outlets, the many on the left and the very few on the right have huge research teams scouring (cherry picking) stuff from other sources so they can spin it for their audience.

CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC , NBC, PBS, CBC, CTV, Global .

It speaks volumes about how bad the mainstream media is when there are more independent media sources that can do a much better job with a fraction of the resources.

I've never heard of this network before and you're right, she is badass! I wish she was on CTV, CBC or Global.

Pretty sad. This other program is specifically for ...blacks.

It seems to be like bigfoot, lot's of people believe they exist but never any tangible proof.

There is a woman in a red coat with a walker on the ground as well as another person. I don't see any bicycle in this particular photo. This is yet another perfect example of why so many people don't trust the media, the same story covered but it's reported in an almost polar opposite way by leftist and conservative news sources.

It's fairly certain that if these axe wielding attackers are found, they won't face serious time in jail for their actions. Think about that..axes! I haven't heard about any truckers using axes but they are being dealt with more harshly.

I think it's fair to say the burka is the most notable example of that and in that case it's not me that decides that they wear it or not . It's the husbands. Just saying. And more to the point, you said anti vax. Most of the truckers and their supporters have been vaxxed, it's the mandates. Being anti vax mandate is different. Some of the provinces might soon be lifting proof of vax requirements. The trucker protest has affected many others in the vicinity negatively with regards to quality of life. But so have the covid restrictions for the past two years or so. Covid is a problem but it's not the bubonic plague either. And covid restrictions were never really meant to apply to politicians, we all know that.

Listening to Michael Knowles yesterday and he raised a very important point. The Dems are very low in the polls at this time largely because they've gone Bernie Sanders crazy with their policies and of course those policies do not work. But for all that, Knowles pointed out that the Dems have one huge ace up their sleeve in that they have control over virtually every single government institution in the country. Education, FBI, CIA , DOJ and the list goes on and on. History has shown that they will not hesitate to weaponize any agency against the Republicans. Hillary truly has nine lives plus. She just will not go away and now the rumours of her running again in 2024. This is the best of the best for the Democrats?
