The silver lining to this trucker convoy is that it has brought a few more posters to the Canadian Politics thread

It's okay guys. Everyone has guns, nothing to see here.
Every farmer has handguns, bulletproof vests, high capacity magazines and machetes.
Perfectly normal protesting behaviour. Perfectly peaceful, Jethro.

I watched his speech this afternoon waiting for him to justify this overreach. All he did is say the same things that have been said about many other groups of protesters over the years.Meltdown99 said:I’ll listen to Canadian civil liberties before I’d ever listen to the opinion of cult followers of a racist cult…
Thank God music still works to forget about the asshat PM (he stopped being my PM when he told us the current protesters were holders of wrongthought."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

I've always found it odd people saying "not my president" or "not my pm". even when it was trump, it sounded very whiny to me. yes, he IS your prime minister, whether you like it or not. you live in canada, he is the PM of canada. ergo he is your pm. I don't recall ever saying that harper wasn't my prime minister just because I thought he was an out of touch misogynist POS.

Yes, in a legal sense his is my PM, but he doesn’t speak for me anymore (I’m a nation of one, lol!), and is a straight up embarrassment to me. I have tried to give him chance after chance to show he’s not the narcissistic blowhard he presents as, but he’s proven me wrong every time.HughFreakingDillon said:I've always found it odd people saying "not my president" or "not my pm". even when it was trump, it sounded very whiny to me. yes, he IS your prime minister, whether you like it or not. you live in canada, he is the PM of canada. ergo he is your pm.

He says he’s not calling in the military, but can we give that statement any credibility given his history of flip flopping when it suits his purposes (the current issue of vaccine mandates being a prime example)."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

What options does the federal govt have to break down the protest, short of emergency powers?DarthMaeglin said:

Do you mean the media that received 650 million from the racist tyrant? And the media is currently asking for more money, conducted a poll that spun the narrative in the tyrant's direction...shocker, I tell you I was shocked...Give Peas A Chance…0

Apparently our federal police force isn’t allowed to enforce local or provincial laws unless contracted to do so. (This makes no sense to me and flies in the face of what I was taught when I briefly studied law enforcement at college.) This will give them jurisdiction apparently, and allow Trudeau’s cabinet to act without seeking authorization from the legislature (dangerous for a minority government).mrussel1 said:

One of the worst parts of this has been that apparently when people actually engage in discussion with the protesters progress can be made. But “our” “leader” ruled that out before anyone pulled into town. And now this."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

Have you ever thought of listening to what experts in these sorts of issues in Canada have to say? Not just journalists? This guy is a good start There is currently there are another protest in Canada, one is blocking a critical pipeline...but that's fine??? Blocking shit is what Canadians do when they get riled. This is not new. Strikes/illegal Strikes/blockades are all part of who we are as Canadian...mrussel1 said:

So I’m not clear… there are no tools short of emergency powers or there are?DarthMaeglin said:

And what’s to discuss? You can’t give them anything close to their demands. That’s simply not an option. Otherwise you’re straight into mob rules.0 -

Let me know if they are legal? Of course, groups can infiltrate a protest that grows to that size. Guns are guns...I'm sure many of those farmers had legal guns with them as well...erebus said:Yep, your typical everyday farmer gunsGive Peas A Chance…0 -

Trudeau has negotiated with protestors. A few years back Marc Miller negotiated with indigenous groups to end an indigenous rail blockade...so there is precedence. To answer protestors' calls for an end to government overreach by adding more government overreach is laughable.
Blockade continues despite 'modest progress' made in talks between federal minister and Tyendinaga Mohawk | CBC News

We're setting the new precedent at the moment. If there's any consolation, now that they're turning back foreign actors at the border, no more visits (and stern lectures) from Greta! Oh wait, she's with the righteous, lol.Meltdown99 said:Trudeau has negotiated with protestors.
