Biden Pressured Trudeau to Clamp Down on ‘Freedom Convoy’ Truckers: Inquiry

Quote

 

According to testimony in the public inquiry into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergency Act against the trucker-led protest against lockdown restrictions in February, U.S. President Joe Biden and U.S. Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg, among others, urged the Canadian government to clamp down on the peaceful protests.

On February 14th, Mr Trudeau took the unprecedented action of using emergency powers to clear the truck blockades in downtown Ottawa, by using extreme measures such as freezing the bank accounts of protesters and ordering the forceful removal of trucks from the streets.

According to the inquiry, which was established to determine if the drastic measures were justified, the decision to implement the Emergencies Act came just three days after Trudeau spoke over the phone with President Biden, who reportedly expressed his concerns over the potential for the trucker protests to spread to the United States, highlighting possible disruptions of the Super Bowl and on the streets of Washington D.C., POLITICO reports.

 

Gee! LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP was illegally impeached for a phone call with the Ukraine President that produced NOTHING.

What say you, Canucks?

Cite the LAW which was broken by impeaching Trump (FIRST TIME) or STFU.

IF you CAN'T, you are MORE stupid than you accuse others here of being.

Yes, the US concern about the protestors hampering the Supply Chain was the ultimate pressure that forced Trudeau to act.
Being a totally beholden to the USA pseudo-nation the Prime Minister has no will or means to act on anything else.

 

[herbie]

Oh that was it... they're protesters not c-o-n-v-i-d-o-t-s...
I see, only derogatory right wing words are allowed!

So the 2nd paragraph was to say how reason should be thankful he has a President that gives a damn about a mob disrupting $2 billion a day in trade rather than the previous imbecile who regularly did it single-handed by imposing ill-thought out tariffs

Do you have anything even close to a lucid point to make?

It's not remotely strange to ask other foreign leaders to take action to benefit American interests--like resolving trade disruption. That's normal international relations.

Whereas, it's wildly corrupt to threaten to withhold aid to other countries unless they publicly attack your election opponent.

Got the warning message, but it did not highlight the offending texts. After 1/2 hr of editing, that's what it was, not something on the list at all. c-o-n-v-i-d-i-o-t-s.........

The impeachment was based on perjured testimony. And there was no due process.

Thing is, Trump NEVER threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine. That was perjury.

Impeachments are like an INDICTMENT. Due process WAS DONE in the TRIAL.

Of course YOU don't even cite what YOU CLAIM was perjury, let alone PROVE IT.

So you HAVE NO EVIDENCE that the impeachment was ILLGAL, just like I though.

AKA, YOU'RE STUPID.

He PRECISELY stated HIS quid pro quo. AKA his THREAT IF he didn't GET WHAT HE WANTED.

Too bad you missed THAT.

OMG? THAT?

Dude, IN THE RECORDING ITSELF, Zelensky asked Trump why the weapons were delayed:

President Zelenskyy: We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.

President Trump: I would like you to do us a favor though... There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do... would be great.

No doubt Biden did put pressure on Trudeau, the border blockades were costing American companies a fortune and Americans to be laid off.

Blue state lack of reading comprehension.

“I would like you to do us a favor.”

I can comprehend that perfectly. “Us” is the Trump campaign, not the US Federal Government.

LOL

There are posters here who add insults about liberals, or the left, or socialists, or whomever they perceive as their political opposition in every post they make.  
 

I guess the lesson there is to report any post with an insult?

 

start with the post 2 posts above?

No this is a web forum, the object isn't to pester the mods over petty things. Functional failures in the software, improvements or someone spamming, yes.

Besides, I get a kick out of people so damn stupid they think calling me a socialist or liberal is an insult.

After all that Biden did to harm the economy, you're worried about the little Freedom Convoy? 

Sorry but playing with your Tonka toys doesn't make you an expert on the supply chain.

What did Biden do to "harm the economy" besides pulling us out of the pandemic recession and lead us to record low unemployment?

Before you say, "inflation," think twice about the FACT that inflation is higher around the world than here.

[WestCanMan]

I personally don't think it's any less of a crime for Trudeau to have subverted our democracy just because he got bullied by Biden. The guy can't even wipe his own arse anymore. The days of him whoopin' bad dude like Corn Pop are long gone.
