Trudeau's lack of leadership has been startling. Instead of facing the music, he pretends that he has covid and sends out the Ottawa police to assault old men and terrorize children. Pretty messed up

 Nice try.  Law-breakers and anarchists bringing children to their illegal activities won't work.  That's what the ISIS terrorist leader did recently;  he blew himself and his family up.

Wow that’s how you describe essential workers and ordinary Canadians.

Yes we all are.  Our freedoms are drastically reduced.  My kids can’t participate in anything beyond the most basic education.  They’re masked and alienated from each other.  Travel is prohibitively bureaucratic.  The society is segregated and desperate for whatever scraps of socialization government will allow — and we’re the vaccinated.  The unvaccinated are treated like second class citizens.  

The health guidelines and regulations are based on science and have saved thousands of lives.  Restrictions are being gradually loosened up as the pandemic hopefully ends.  But it is not over yet.

Covid isn’t going anywhere.  Wake up.  There’s no excuse for the suspension of Charter rights.  There’s no guarantee of their return. Excuses always kick freedom down the road.  Enough!

I doubt the occupiers are essential workers.  Most are probably unemployed anarchists and law-breakers.  Law-abiding essential workers would be working, not joining an anarchist bunch of thugs.

You might be right. Covid might be here to stay.  I am not going to pontificate on what health regulations should be in place.  You seem to be expert on abolishing health regulations and mandates.

Ha, you’re a snob.  You don’t like ordinary workers.  You want them to deliver your goods as they have throughout the pandemic but won’t respect their rights.  The truckers are all Canadians.

You make the choices for yourself.  You chose to mock me and reject the Bible messages.

I mock your wish to condemn people to hell, yes that's true. You are free to put Beelzebub's potion in your veins all you want, but don't expect others to follow suit. Many good people, including Christians are in support of this. They saw how the government closed churches while allowing liquor and weed stores to stay open. People's consumption of drugs and alcohol went way up. Some pastors went to jail for opening their church. One was even put in maximum security for such a relatively minor offence.

[DogOnPorch]

The thing about Christians is that they KNOW there's a higher power than Trudeau. Bless their hearts, I say.

On the downside they think they are better than you, and know what's good for you.

Just like them god-damned liberals.

I don't condemn people to hell.  Only God can do that.  I simply said criminals, anarchists, law-breakers, etc. who spit in God's face and reject his salvation he offers, are heading toward hell.  They are not there yet;  so there is still time.   Anybody can be saved but they must decide what they are going to do. 

Of course there could be some Christians supporting the protests, who are labouring under the false idea that it is a peaceful law-abiding protest.   They are badly misled or midguided.   No point in dragging all the other events that happened during the pandemic into this to try justify what is happening.  I don't agree with any churches or others who violated the Covid restrictions.  They went against the Bible.

Yep. Too bad that's what it takes, because you also create more insufferable dunderheads when doing that.

I'll concede that you're trying to make what seems like a reasonable point, it isn't counter-intuitive at first glance, but don't forget that judges are politically appointed and are not at all above having their own political motivations. 

Look at Sotomayor's recent statements. No one is dumb enough to believe what she said. She was just duped by leftists propaganda and made a fool of herself in public. The same thing happens from the bench. 

Are you an American? Canadian judges aren't picked the same way.

Personally I can't understand the attraction some Canadians have with being electronically tattooed and tracked around the country as they go about their business. But I suppose it is the result of successful brainwashing. It's good to be watched...safe.

I don't like the whole 'papers, please' thing. I know you don't. But, man...those 50 idiots over there all do. With gusto...and they're picking out their uniforms...virtually or otherwise.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s Liberal government has appointed one of Omar Khadr‘s former lawyers as a justice in federal court.

Did Global News lie to us here? Was this judge not really appointed by the Liberals?

Educate yourself on the selection process.

Global news just said the powerful American right is behind much of this so-called "freedom" protest and the occupation of Ottawa.  People like Trump and Ted Cruz have thrown their support behind it.  Much of the money may have come from the U.S. far right, or the white supremacist extremists.  Wonder where the confederate and Nazi flags came from.

What Huxley said. You mentioned his name the other day. To paraphrase: "In the future governments will learn that the best way to achieve totalitarian rule is for the people to want to be ruled. Surely fear plays a big role in that. Plus the feeling that the problem is so huge that we as individuals are powerless. Only the government can help.

But let's look who the ones are that like this government mandate stuff. I say they are the lazy and soft. Like Army Guy said, don't disturb my right to watch TV.

But the folks who are out there on the Hill are not lazy and soft. Freezing their azzes off, yes. Hungry and needing a bath, maybe. But not lazy...

Powerful American politicians like Trump and Ted Cruz, highly regarded in the Republican Party, throwing their weight behind the convoy protests and the occupation of Ottawa is an act of sedition by a foreign power.  Trudeau should speak to Biden and the U.S. and tell them to back off and keep out of our domestic politics.

How are judges appointed?

The federal government appoints judges to the federal courts, the superior courts of the provinces/territories, and the Supreme Court of Canada. The Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs administers the advisory committees, representing each province and territory, which assess the qualifications of the lawyers who apply for federal judicial appointments. For example, a candidate for a federal appointment must have been a lawyer for at least ten years to be appointed and must be qualified to practise law in the jurisdiction in question.

What does this mean to you?

Quote

The federal government appoints judges to the federal courts,

At the end of the day, it all boils down to one thing. 

Is this process free from political influence?

Quote

The Chief Justice or senior judge of the province or territory is invited by the federal Minister of Justice to choose one judicial representative. The provincial or territorial Law Society, the Canadian Bar Association and the provincial Attorney General or Territorial Minister of Justice are invited to submit a list of names from whom an appointment to the relevant committee can be made. The Government, with the assistance of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs Canada, then selects persons to serve on each committee who reflect factors appropriate to the jurisdiction, including geography, gender, language and multiculturalism.

Not sure where you think the clear line is between the government and the political, er, judicial appointments.

There was great fun today with jerrycans...empty or otherwise. 

JT can't arrest every Canadian.

As one fellow described it....it's like the movie The Great Escape. Dodging the German guards to get fuel into the camp.
