You provided a quote, remember?
OK. Stop quoting them then.
People you brought forward.
Peaceful protests aren't banned. Anyone at Queens Park since mid-February can attest to this. Your constant denial is beginning to be problematic - does your position dissolve if you acknowledge reality? You are certainly pushing hard to deny that peaceful protests have occurred since the Emergencies Act was lifted.
You will have to come up with video or a quote.
She was jupset. Yes. She was not called a nazi and you cannot supply proof that she was.
Your 'calm and rational' facade is slipping.
I was just pointing out that most were so far left that 'regular' leftists are pretty far to the right of them, and that mainstream Canadians supported Trudeau on the brief implementation of the Emergencies Act.
And in the absence of that Canada's foundational documents give the government the last word on what 'peaceful' means.
Except for the parts that weren't, and that was what necessitated a response. Without the freezing of downtown Ottawa and the blockage of International trade the protest would presumably have carried on longer.
I guess my position - that the founding documents enable the federal government to determine what they consider 'peaceful' and act accordingly - is too subtle for you? I don't believe I offered a definition.
Except, of course, that there have been and continue to be peaceful protests since the Emergencies Act was lifted, but they interfere with your narrative so you don't acknowledge them.
?? When what goes down?
You haven't offered much here at all have you.
I applaud you for coming to the snake den of people you clearly disagree with. Ask yourself what's your goal here? Are you looking to understand why we hate blackface wearers? Are you looking to convert us to your side?
Probably in history you did provide some position of your own and were dunked on. If I predicted correctly, you likely have been unintentionally trained to not give much to avoid being dunked on again.
If I might make a recommendation. Something I've said a few times now, our opinion doesn't matter. Ultimately we get a single vote in our riding that will probably go uncounted.
The better approach is to just talk to each other like we are both good curious people who want to learn why others think the way they do. The world is complex and even if you spent all your waking hours studying 1 thing, you might be an expert above everyone else but you will still not know everything.
Instead of being a political warrior at the behest of some blackface tyrannical politician. Why not just ask questions? You genuinely believe the protest was a bunch of white nazis. Here's a really good article with a fantastic thumbnail: https://quillette.com/2022/02/21/the-ottawa-trucker-protest-was-disruptive-the-hysterical-reaction-to-it-was-worse/
Like I said, it doesn't have to go down. All Trudeau needs to do is return our rights. The media need to stop the attacks. Reparations need to be awarded to those whose rights were trampled.
You read my position. It's clear the canadian media was compromised by Putin. Russia was planning to invade Ukraine and used this resource to cause an illegitimate upheaval against a legitimate protest. It brought everyone's attention to Canada and not their imminent invasion. I would even go further, the Canadian media even published that Biden was a warmonger, that russia wasnt about to invade, that it was the USA who is always starting wars trying to incite another war. They didn't just attack the protest.
Trudeau was grossly misinformed about the protest. A fellow Quebec Liberal MP(literally trudeau's top ally) made a huge mistake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuASydTUatI he made the mistake of going to the protest and he was disillusioned. He came out long before any emergency act and said exactly what needs to happen. He himself said the protest wasn't a bunch of white supremacists.
Nobody is expecting Trudeau to do any of this. That boat has sailed. He probably now knows how much he screwed up and that's why he's touring europe to talk about the importance of democracy. Yet this hypocrisy is why he's being denounced.
I know why I'm here - no problem.
Only to you, I think.
In case anyone has lost the thread: Ottawa's core was frozen, its downtown residents deprived of sleep and access to necessary services, and International trade throttled. The Federal government got things going again, and two thirds of Canadians approved of its actions.
