When illegal activity such as blockading bridges and occupying cities is condoned by society, what is next?

A large group of terrorists attacked the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline project today in northwest B.C. destroying massive earth moving equipment and buildings.  The workers barely escaped.  This was the site where the RCMP moved in last year to arrest protesters blockading the pipeline project.  So now the opponents have progressed to serious criminal / terrorist activity.  Is this what happens when anarchists are interfered with and don't get their way?

In your fascistic opinion.  

There were no border blockades? What alternate universe do you live in? Anyone who disagrees with you is a fascist, that must make you a commie.

The blockades are gone.  What universe are you in?  The vaccine mandates and martial law are still here.  The dancing, singing, and unity we saw at the protests, with families of all backgrounds coming together, is being stomped out by our government.  It’s really awful.

They are ruining the lives and in many cases the ability of people to make a living in the areas they have occupied. Yes, that is awful. 

You should look up the definition of martial law. This isn't it.

What does that remind you of? 

The government has ruined the lives of more Drs, nurses and other health care workers than the number of people affected by the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. The government has ruined the lives of business owners with anti-science mandates. The government is picking off groups of workers in different sectors of the economy, one by one. All of these people faced economic hardship for far longer than the people of Ottawa, and there's no end in sight for them because Trudeau won't talk to Canadians. His "transparent gov't" is keeping Canadians in the dark and feeding us bullshit as if we're all mushrooms. Then he just declares martial law if anyone dares to form a peaceful protest.

The gov't is force-vaxing children who don't benefit at all from taking the vax. The government has implemented a China-style social credit scoring system which punishes people who think for themselves, or look at statistics. 

The people of Ottawa have been moderately inconvenienced for almost 3 weeks now? Boo-hoo.

Trade was down by 25% for a while? Boo hoo. Trudeau is financially ruining Canadians by 100%.

Stop making excuses for our government's unconstitutional attacks on innocent Canadians.

The businesses being 'ruined' are in-fact on government owned properties and were forced to close...but not by truckers and their friends. Places that are remaining open do great business. Especially Jerrycans...as you can imagine.

Not protest, occupations. 

No distinction is being made between supporters of the protest and people maintaining blockades.  This is very much about using anti-terrorist legislation to discredit and remove political opposition.  It’s unconstitutional, but that’s the fate of those who have what Trudeau considers “unacceptable” views.

Just wondering how you would feel if BLM, pipeline, climate change etc protestors moved in  heavy equipment and blocked the streets of your downtown core making loud noise all day and night for weeks on end.

There is no way I want to defend what Trudeau said but Maher is an idiot if he can't see a difference between Trudeau and Hitler and so are you. Lock them up. Donald Trump.

You failed English class didn't you? Absolute comparisons are not the same things as relative comparisons. If you are short then then you are LIKE Hitler. If you have a mustache then you are LIKE Hitler. If you say things like "Do we tolerate people" then you are LIKE Hitler. None of these mean that you ARE Hitler. 

@WestCanMan said it best. If you took the "Do we tolerate" statement and replaced the association of the unvaccinated with ANY other group, there would be a riot. For example. Blacks....do we tolerate? Chinese...do we tolerate? Gays...do we tolerate?

Trudeau is not a dumb guy so saying that his English skills are poor is not a fair assessment. He chose those words to inflame and to incite hatred towards the unvaccinated. He wanted to rally the rest of the vaccinated against those who chose not to get the shot and low and behold it worked as suckers like you vehemently go after the unvaccinated and let Trudeau off free.  

With all that said, I love the fact that I have posted numerous clips of people drawing the same Hitler comparison, one of which is a known Liberal pundit and yet you have posted only your opinion. And somehow I am the idiot? At least you got the spelling right because the rest of your English comprehension needs a lot of work.

Parliament has to sit for seven days before voting on the act. Tactics?

I'm quite certain that if it were BLM or any other radical environmentalist group doing the same things, namely blocking streets and making noise all night long the Liberal reaction would be very different. Trudeau would meet with them, he would take a knee, he would take selfies. He would NOT take heavy handed actions like confiscation of funds, taking away children. He would NOT go after the people that funded the protests and dox them.

Even Antifa does not get treated this way in Canada. Antifa is a terrorist group without question.

Really. How long did their protests last? A few hours? A day? A weekend at most.

Or, "Do we tolerate white people?" or "Do we tolerate Albertans?" 

but this is not the same thing as, "Do we tolerate people doing ______ ".  

I think Trudeau's rhetoric has been over the top and inflammatory and I started this thread to criticize him, but this whole "tolerate" hang-up that you guys have is a silly reach and nobody's really listening.

I truly love it when people resort to insults as it means they are defeated in the argument.  Just to hammer home the English lesson, comparisons are not comparisons. 

 

Quote

 

Definition of Comparison

As a literary device, comparison is a broad term for any act of describing the relationship between two things or more things. These things (whether people, actions, intangible concepts, places, etc) may be alike or different to any degree. Through comparison, an author may show new connections that the reader may not have thought of, or may make an unfamiliar thing more familiar. There are many more specific types of comparison, as we will see below.

The Occupy movement in Canada lasted about a month or more. They were eventually removed by the police but they did not have bank accounts frozen or their funders doxed and threatened as far as I am aware.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not crazy about streets being blocked or loud noise all night. If I lived downtown it would drive me crazy too.

These truckers did not have it easy during the pandemic. They kept working through thick and thin, they did not sit on their asses collecting CERB. Trudeau meets with real dictators and even admires them. It wouldn't have been the end of the world if he met with the truckers in the beginning. One of Trudeau's issues is that he does not like to listen, he likes to dictate.

If all protests in Canada were treated with an even hand by government it would be a different thing, but they are not.

Actually those ones would have had little to no effect too as we are used to those sentiments.

Oh...but here's where you're wrong. He prefaced his "tolerate" sentiment with they are misogynism and racism. He wasn't criticizing them for their actions but rather for who they were as people.

Actually the whole world is listening. Maybe you just put your ear plugs in to avoid hearing the truth?
