The World's Laughing Stock

[betsy]

With Alberta and Quebec, having managed to solve the problem they've had with their own convoy protests without having to invoke any martial law - why does Justin Trudeau think it's needed in Ottawa?

The lack of policing in Ottawa has something to do with their internal problems!

Furthermore, isn't it hypocritical to demonize the convoy the way Trudeau did when he himself had supported the farmers' blockades in INDIA.

 

Trudeau voiced support for farmers in India who blocked major highways to New Delhi for more than a year in 2021

So, you can just imagine the reaction to his emergencies act:

Btw, didn't his dad declared martial law?

BUT, it isn't funny.

 

EDITORIAL: Trudeau has gone too far

Ever since the freedom convoy first touched base in Ottawa a couple of weeks ago, the PM has gone out of his way to increase the tensions.

 

The Liberal government appeared to be hoping for some sort of Jan. 6 style event as happened in the United States last year. All of their rhetoric indicated they were keen to see such an event go down.

 

It never did. The convoy has been peaceful throughout.

 

The only real violence so far has been a vehicular ramming conducted against protesters, which sent four people to hospital. You don’t hear much about that though. Trudeau never condemned it.

All I see on tv is the relentless attempt to try to demonize the whole protest over some anecdotal allegations.  So what if a few people wear swastika shirts, or waving confederate flags!  How do i know they're not planted to make the protesters look bad?

 

What I do know is that all Trudeau ever did was divide us - CANADIANS! 

Now, he's divided JEWS within the House!

'Stand with Swastikas': Emergencies Act debate turns ugly as opposition grows

 

As opposition parties dug into their formal opposition to the Liberal government’s Emergencies Act, debates took an ugly turn in question period as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indirectly linked a Jewish MP to Nazi supporters.

 

Comments directed to Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman were made during a heated exchange in which she compared his “positive, optimistic, hopeful vision of public life” in 2015 with recent negative comments made toward truck convoy supporters.

 

“Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas; they can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag. We will choose to stand with Canadians who deserve to be able to get to their jobs, to be able to get their lives back,” replied Trudeau.

This prompted the Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Rota, to remind all MPs, including the prime minister, “to use words that are not inflammatory in the House.”

Lantsman took to social media to denounce the prime minister’s comments, while at the same time asking for an apology.

“I think the Prime Minister should think long and hard about his own history before singling out a Jewish Member of Parliament and falsely accusing me of standing with a Swastika. What a disgraceful statement unbecoming of anyone in public office – he owes me an apology.”

I don't know what title would be more appropriate for it........ since what I've posted - and will be posting - is a gamut of different things that indeed makes us look like a joke to the whole world that's watching!

Remember the donations that supposedly majority of which had come from the USA?

 

 

Most donations for Freedom Convoy came from Canada and NOT the US: Donors include billionaire Silicon Valley investor, NASA employees and Canadian civil servants

 

Leaked data from the hacked GiveSendGo site revealed that most of the money raised for the Freedom Convoy did come from Canada and not the US - contradicting claims by the embattled  Canadian prime minister.

 

Despite large donations from American's, Canadian's still made up the bulk of the support with Brad Howland, president of a New Brunswick-based company that makes pressure washers, donating $75,000, commenting: 'Hold the line!'

Lol - aren't we pointing fingers a bit too quickly?

They want to paint the convoy as a FAR-RIGHT WHITE SUPREMACIST group - and yet, I see on tv - many indigenous people, and even an obviously non-white person, being interviewed in his truck - saying he's willing to die for freedom.

 

Lol - some First nation leaders complaining when protesters were using drums that it's unacceptable.   Cultural appropriation, they said.  Lol - I saw a group of indigenous people doing their dance and drumming!

What, we're not free to use drums anymore??

 

Now we see why this explosion of protests!   People are soooooooo fed up!

Why would it stop if there's no checks, limits or controls over it? Seriously. Why would it stop, somewhere, anywhere if it can just go wherever it feels and there's nothing at all, none to stop it.

[RedDog]

Still, I think Canada may lead the entire planet in bronze medals so there’s that.

[betsy]

I'm confused though.   Is the emergencies act already official?   If so, how come there is a debate about it?

[Jack9000]

Such dramatic  people on here it is not martial Law jesus lol  and  quebec/alberta was a much smaller protest to break up then the one in ottawa Emergencies  act is justified

Turdeau has 7 days to convince everyone that it's proper use of the Act.  Then it comes into effect for 30 days.  After 30 days, Turdeau can renew it for another 30 days.

No, the person who said he is willing to die for his cause was white but the one who threatened civil war looked middle eastern and another one who nearly threatened terrorism (he said if they crack down on us they will create a terrorist like himself) appeared of African decent.

In all, though there are white supremacist elements in the protest crowd but the majority are not, but for sure there are a large number of radical elements in the protest crowd who wish to change the democratically elected government by force or mob dictatorship and the presence of these radical groups who so openly and publicly call for civil war or terrorism fully justifies the emergency act.

And you and your supporters want to gas and kill people.

There is no moral high ground for you here when you support gassing and killing your fellow Canadians.

Oh shut up. You are very very sick. Demented. This is the third time you make personal attacks on me and democracy supporters and this time I won't let it go without insulting you back in a much smaller scale. 

You and your kind threatening civil war, terrorism and war on democratically elected government are the only mass killers here.

If you think those people people represent all the convoy supporters, then the people with posters demanding the unvaxxed are killed and gassed, represent YOU.

What is hard to understand about that? Unless you want to hypocritically apply rules to others that don't apply to you? Hmmmmm?

You're the group advocating murder and violence.  It's obvious.

Lots of children in Canada, not vaxxed. You want them gassed.

No moral high ground for you.

Demented and delusional. Seek immediate help before causing serious problems for other innocent bystanders and yourself. Really!!

Who are they and where were they taken? If you want to cite them as representative of all the Canadians who want them to go home you will also have to accept assertion that all the protesters are Nazi sympathizers. Neither is true.

Just now, Aristides said:

I have never asserted that a lone individual with a Nazi flag, photographed blocks away from the actual protest represents the protesters.

That is you.

I'm going to explain this sssllllloooowlllllyyyy to you for the last time - 

You believe that one lone guy with a Nazi flag represents the convoy as being white supremacists and racists.

If that is the case, then the people with signs demanding that their fellow citizens be gassed and killed represents YOU.
