Places that are remaining open do great business. Especially Jerrycans...as you can imagine. From what I've seen, the businesses that bought into the whole "White-supremacist terrorist uprising in downtown Ottawa, death and destruction everywhere, AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Run for your lives!!!!" narrative and closed their doors - yes, they lost business. The ones who recognized the lies from Trudeau and the media and stayed open are doing splendidly.

I imagine you've seen the livestreams. My wife was somewhat incredulous until she saw them herself. Especially those massive parties. Too many people having fun and not throwing Molotov cocktails.

Moonbox Posted February 18, 2022 Author Report Posted February 18, 2022 28 minutes ago, Accountability Now said: 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. He was using inflammatory, sweeping rhetoric and it's perfectly fair to criticize him for that. His attempt to characterize all the protestors all as racists was stupid and unscrupulous and you can see it for what it was - an attempt to capitalize politically on the presence of a handful of idiots. That's what this is about. Twisting your panties over the word tolerate just makes you look silly. The Speaker of the House had to scold Trudeau in Parliament the other day for spouting off his hyperbole, and that's what people are listening to and noticing, not the contrived outrage over one dumb word you've blown up to absurdity. 1 Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he does for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous

Stop pretending that this is just me noticing the connection. If its not that big of a deal then why do you and others on here keep responding??? I made the claim once and since then have only responded to other poster's faux outrage. Contrary to what you think, this doesn't strike that big of a nerve for me. I am used to Trudeau saying big boy things in French and then scrambling like a buffoon to deny it in English. 41 minutes ago, Moonbox said: that's what people are listening to and noticing, not the contrived outrage over one dumb word you've blown up to absurdity. ? How many people do you think watch Parliamentary proceedings in Canada, not just in Canada but around the world?? Now compare that to how many people (around the world) are talking about Trudeau's Hitler like comments. Quote

Does it mean that right now the police are differentiating among people at the protests based on race? That’s racial profiling, banned on the Toronto force which is helping with the suppression in Ottawa. Edited February 18, 2022 by Zeitgeist Quote

I rarely discuss things that center on opinion which clearly this topic was. That's why I'm not singling you out as one of the circus clowns. The "you" was a general reference to all of the people going on about this. The argument about Trudeau should be about his cynicism, his double-standards, his lack of moral conviction and his worthless platitudes. The emergencies act is something actually tangible for which to criticize him and you'll get a lot more mileage out of that than raving about a word folks have chosen to inflate/conflate into some faux-outrage. It makes his critics look frivolous and reactionary. Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he does for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous

His choice of words sets the stage for criticism about the emergency act. It’s all part of the Trudeau story Because it's silly, frivolous criticism. You're taking one word and exaggerating/misconstruing its meaning and then waving it around like it's a declaration of the next pogrom. By focusing on silly stuff like this you cheapen any tangible arguments you'd otherwise be able to make and people tune you out because you don't appear reasonable to begin with. Trudeau's not popular right now but this loud sloganeering and the CPC's cozying up with the dumbest and least articulate among its base is THE path for Trudeau to get re-elected.

Infidel Dog Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) You wanting to criticize Trudeau does not surprise me anymore than the slogan of hardcore socialists, they write on the odd wall... I find their and your idea (as you posted in your OP) a little hysterical though. What was it again...? Something about hitting the peaceful protest with something like the G 20 response, wasn't it? The police were sued for human rights violations after the G 20 police response you would have preferred. They were rioters in that one and they settled for something like $16.5 million dollars from the police, didn't they? Kind of a hysterical request to repeat all that if you ask me, considering all the organizers of the Trucker convoy were asking for at first was a talk with Trudeau. I see why you didn't want anybody to know where your pic of the burning police car came from though. Edited February 20, 2022 by Infidel Dog Quote
Moonbox Posted February 20, 2022 Author Report Posted February 20, 2022 Where did I request a repeat of the G20 police response?
