A fib, or just ignorance on your part? He enacted the war measures act, just like I said. Vax-nazis use the term "anti-vaxxers" against people who refused the jab, and that term actually means something quite different. I'll say war measures act when I'm referring to the war measures act v2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mods here should have shut down people here for posting about Hunter's laptop, right? The Mods here should have shut down people here for posting about the lab leak theory, right? The Mods here should have shut down people who they refused to admit that Trump's ban on flights from China was racist, right? Or that Trudeau was brilliant for blocking flights from India when delta broke out there? The Mods here should shut down people who say War Measures Act, but it's ok to call people anti-vaxxers, even though that term already refers to people who refuse to let their children get safe vaccinations which provide full protection from diseases which will actually kill them, right eyeball? Blah blah. FYI the mods aren't here to stop people from discussing credible theories just because Biden or Trudeau declare "they're verboten!" The mods are not Trudeau's word police. They're mainly here to maintain decorum and they're doing a fine job. You'll be happy to know that I have lots of points against me, or shocked to know that I'm not perfect ?

It's like if people stopped calling omicron "covid" and just called it 'the flu'. It's not the same as the original variant so we could rebrand it, right? Should we track the deaths differently now that it's a different virus? That would be bad for Pfizer's stats, because far more vaxed people have died of omicron than unvaxed in Canada....

I don't know, it sounds like there's worse out there. Some that probably even make Fox look like CNN in comparison. The right wing is not a place it's a direction and these days you have to hustle to keep up. Look at poor Moonbox for example, even he's a commie now.

Are you joking right now? The MSM has been calling the Freedom Convoy an insurrection and saying that it is basically just a bunch of white supremacists for two weeks now and you're suddenly crying about a single, smaller inaccuracy? FYI in other countries saying the "Emergencies Act of Canada" has no meaning, and it's not unreasonable to describe it as martial law. The government is seizing funds, cancelling insurance bought from the private sector, and giving the police sweeping powers which aren't necessary. Our own CBC said this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergencies-act-explainer-1.6351504 Quote Is there a role for the military? The Emergencies Act itself is silent on the role of the military during this sort of emergency. There are other federal laws — including the National Defence Act — which allow Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel to provide "service in aid of the civil power." This means the military could in theory be called upon to help police maintain law and order — but would not replace civilian law enforcement. This is poorly written enough to be ambiguous imo. In the first paragraph they say that a separate act, the "N Def Act", allows the military to aid the police, and they say that the Emergencies Act is "silent on the role of the military" which indicates to me that the Emergencies Act itself does not allow the gov't to employ the military, but the second paragraph is worded like a standalone, implying that the first paragraph means that "the military could in theory be called upon to help police maintain law and order". Trudeau is quoted right afterwards as saying: Quote the government is "not using the Emergencies Act to call in the military," so a role for the CAF is off the table — for now. ...which implies that he could use the Emergencies Act to call in the military, but he isn't going to do that. (He used similar wording about vaccine passports being unlikely before he green-lighted them. His words were something like "There is no foreseeable future where vaccine passports will be used here...", A few weeks later, boom.) I don't think that there's any act that employs Canada's military as a complete replacement of our police, IE - the classical definition of martial law, I think that a backup role is their highest calling here. If that's the case, and Canada's military can be employed just from invoking the Emergencies Act, then this is Canada's version of "martial law". If our state-owned media and PM both implied that our military can be employed using this act, why would foreign journalists just assume that CBC and Trudeau were wrong?
