There is no obligation. Trump tried for four years to get NATO countries to up their military budget and he failed. We will see if Trudeau increases the military budget even further (which wouldn't be a bad thing).
You literally explained the obligation. Trudeau ignored trump because where was the threat. Now there's a threat and trudeau looks like a blackface.
Trudeau is absolutely obligated. I guarantee you Biden and Johnson told him that he has to hit this obligation or risk not having nato defend us if our neighbour russia invades us.
Why the fuck should I have to pay extra taxes so you can have child care. Get a job save money. Have kids. Pay for your own life. Stop breeding if you can’t afford it
What "extra" they havent announced any new tax. Your tax burden is unchanged and they are offering new service. At least so far...
Flipside, why is this beneficial to society? This doesnt fix anything in the short term at all.
Lets look at the worker shortage of 2030. As boomers retire, there will be a worker shortage. Their replacements, those turning the age where they start working is set in stone. You cant magic new teenagers into existence if they werent born to canadians already.
Wait they are magicly producing new teenagers for this worker shortage of 2030? Immigration! >400,000 people a year. We have to build a new kitchener or new london every year to house all these immigrants that we bring in.
The government became so hostile toward parents that we are at historic lows for births. We are on the verge of a population collapse and unless we get to some baby making... it's a very very bad time for all of us.
He has to increase it by 70% from a week ago when our allies obligated him and he made the promise.
Not sure who is down-voting this post, but they are misguided. This is finally giving us back money, it's either that or we have nothing and leftist NGOs get it all!
Some people politically believe all taxation is evil.
For me it's more nuanced. Imagine the government as a business. You pay(taxation) for goods and services. Ideally the money is used well. We do need police and justice system. We do need military.
Flipside, take this or similar 'baby bonuses' it's society's way of boosting or incentivizing people to have children. That is afterall how society continues. It's going to be a net-positive for society to do this.
Even single payer healthcare. Covering a cheap shitty lowest tier possible health insurance that barely covers anything but does at least cover the essentials means your society has a net-positive benefit. entrepreneurs and poor folks who cant afford healthcare dont have to worry about the essentials. private insurance covers the rest. The debate is how much should ohip cover.
Flipside, sending how many billions to other countries so that they can build renewable energy? FUCK NO.
Having had a discussion with tuchodi.
This is punching down.
I have no idea what will happen at midterms.
Biden is the most popular president in history; by his own words.
Black folks voted for Biden at a higher rate than they did for Obama.
Detroit TCF Center vote counting boarded up the windows for TRANSPARENCY.
Republicans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_efforts_to_restrict_voting_following_the_2020_presidential_election
more than 425 bills that would restrict voting access have been introduced in 49 states
Sorry, but if republicans submitted so many bills in so many states. This is widespread belief that election fraud occurred.
What happens at midterms if democrats board up some windows again and they unexpectedly win?
So shocking, but Trudeau has an obligation to increase military spending by more than 70%. This is just step 1.
I'm guessing General dynamics are going to get some big $.Bombardier is Quebec, I'm sure Trudeau will send them some money to secure them staying in canada.
I wish I could read Trudeau's mind how ideologically fucked he is right now. He certainly understands that he is and suddenly everyone he was actively attacking recently must now go speak with.
How about energy east eh? How you planning to get the oil over the europe? Train? How long until another oil train crashes in quebec?
Trudeau just found himself in such a deep hole...
I don't believe I offered a definition.
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/
?? When what goes down?
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.
They made an apple pie and motherhood statement before the event under discussion took place. It would carry more weight if they were commenting afterwards. They were never asked the limits of protest.
You clearly said you couldn't read the article linked.
It ultimately doesn't matter what the NYTimes thinks. I was providing leftist sources to show that crushing a dissenting protest and setting a precedent of seizing bank accounts for future governments will be a huge problem. The tremendous majority of protests in Canada are not by right-wingers.
"Dore, an ex-supporter of Bernie Sanders and the Green Party", "Dore’s interview with the fascist was fawning and entirely uncritical"
You continue to attack the people. That's fine with me.
You were presenting individuals. If you want to talk in generalities then don't forget that "all politics is local", and the poll I referenced indicated two thirds of Canadians supported him on this. From that perspective he's laughing.
You're absolutely right. Politics are local. The consequences for banning peaceful protest in Canada will be very local until it isn't anymore.
What he said was "Conservative party members can stand with people who wave swastikas". It is commentators who extrapolated that to nazis.
I outright say that Trudeau clearly said Melissa Lantsman is a nazi. She was clearly upset being called a nazi.
I expect Zelensky was upset being called a nazi by Putin. Technically Putin never said zelensky was a nazi. In fact, they officially said he's nobody and the nazis shadow operate Ukraine. So in fact, Putin never said Zelensky was a nazi.
Why do you think so many Canadians are nazis and why do we need to 'denazify' so many canadians? Dont worry, it's still coming. Canada will absolutely be denazifying.
Definitely hysterical. Claiming peaceful protests are illegal after weeks of peaceful protests uninterrupted by authorities is pretty advanced self-deception.
You're the one with the inconsistent world view. You attack and dismissed all my leftist sources. What you are experiencing is called cognitive dissonance.
I guess the definition of 'peaceful' varies from person to pundit to observer to commentator. A lot of former Commonwealth countries including Canada use the phrase "peace, order, and good government" in their foundational documents, so in the end they actually have pretty broad authority to decide what's peaceful.
Now you don't understand what peaceful means? I dont believe the Charter, UN declaration of human rights, nor international convent of civil rights actually defines peaceful.
There is thousands of hours of footage of the protest from countless angles. The protest is defacto peaceful. There is absolutely no question that it was peaceful. Trudeau never even attempted to claim that violence was occurring. In fact, if violence had been occurring, the ottawa police would have easily been able to shutdown the protest. The ottawa police were under a ton of pressure to shutdown the peaceful protest. They never did anything because they couldn't do anything to the peaceful protest.
Your cognitive dissonance is quite strong. You need to redefine the word peaceful to justify crushing the protest.
This is all now just history book stuff. Canada had a watershed moment. We lost our right to peaceful protest. Then again how many other charter rights are violated right now by Trudeau. Not exactly the only one.
I expect it will be right about november or december when this goes down. Next january at the absolute latest.
Many plausible scenarios could prevent this. If the right wing sees some of the lawsuits for charter right violations pay out bigtime and judges reestablishing the right to protest... I could see that as the beginning of healing.
What exactly is the story anyway? That the truckers took advantage of him or promised him $ and didn't deliver? It clearly reads that he voluntarily did this. It's sad that this dude seems to be a scammer.
No the real story here is that CBC is still trivially manipulated into publishing lies and pushing completely biased narratives. #defundcbc
On Feb. 11, Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared the protest an "illegal occupation."
So let's be clear on this point as this is defined by international law and treaties and established in human rights.
A LEGAL occupation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_(protest) which would NOT justify national emergency is much like the George Floyd or occupy protests. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_Occupied_Protest
Nobody called in the national guard to take the CHOP area back. They did overthrew the government and occupied even a police precinct. Not to mention tremendous amounts of violence. Yet even CHOP did not qualify as illegal.
For the CHOP protest or Ottawa protest to become ILLEGAL and justify state of an emergency like what Doug Ford or Trudeau did... it has to be a different kind of occupation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_occupation
Military or belligerent occupation, often simply occupation, is provisional control by a ruling power over a territory, without a claim of formal sovereignty.
When the Canadian media portrayed the protest as a nazi confederate hate convoy looking to overthrow the government. Doug Ford believed it to be a military occupation.
If the protest was in truth a nazi confederate military occupation to overthrow the government. Then absolutely. It would be illegal and a national emergency would be justified.
This is a very important distinction. Trudeau clearly failed to prove this protest was trying to overthrow the government. They were there for weeks with bouncy castles and never quite got around to doing the insurrection thing.
The protesters' internationally confirmed human rights were clearly violated. This was absolutely not some sort of insurrection to justify ending the legitimate protest.
Ultimately the bell has been rung. The right-wing no longer have the right to peaceful protest in Canada.
When there are enough "sexist racists, white supremacist nazi confederates looking to overthrow the government" millions of Canadians supported shutting it down.
No discussion here changes the reality that the freedom protest was tremendously successful. It doesn't change the reality that ultimately we lost big time because of it. We won the battle against some of the covid mandates but we lost the right of peaceful protest. No point in pouting at our loss. We will take this loss on the chin.
The Canadian media portrayed the protest as a bunch of nazis. The thing is... indie and international media literally proved that wasnt the case. If you would like to continue believing this to be true, feel free. It doesn't matter what you or my opinion is. Hell even Liberals were saying "Honk Honk = Heil Hitler" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQb-6yXKBlE which is beyond absurd.
You will notice that the canadian media has been quietly deleting these articles on the 'hate convoy' and deleting the calling for denazification etc. Just as the protest was about to get crushed and denazified... the authors at canadian media who published all these nazi allegations went on a vacation of more than a week in the middle of their coverage of the protest. That's crazy... why would you take a vacation in the middle of a huge story like nazi confederates overthrowing the government. Wait a week or 2 for things to settle back down or something.
How unusual that they would all suddenly go on vacation the same day. How VERY unusual that Trudeau abruptly stopped calling the protesters nazis and trying to inflame the situation. How very very unusual that suddenly Trudeau and Gerald butts started talking about the necessity to break out of your echo chamber. When this went down live, it blew my mind. Then again, it was only blown for a day when Putin invaded for the reason of denazification. Then i understood why the sudden 180.
Trudeau accidentally let it slip during his first sanctions speech/QA. https://youtu.be/Tf5Uvoime6M?t=1829
He says Putin for the "last few weeks" have controlled the media. No no no, Putin has controlled the media in Russia for decades. You know what was the 'last few weeks' that was the legitimate protest in ottawa being labelled quite illegitimately as a bunch of nazis. Putin invading ukraine to denazify revealed the psyop.
Trudeau slipped there. He revealed that it was Putin. The absolute pure propaganda that the canadian media wasn't Trudeau behind it. It was Putin. Why did these authors go on vacation in the middle of their huge story? RCMP probably picked them up to investigate them.
Imagine you are Trudeau though. Media has been covering this protest as a bunch of nazi confederates looking to overthrow government. What do you do? You declare national emergency and have the nazis arrested. Even if Harper was in power... he would have done the same thing.
The problem? The protest was absolutely not a bunch of nazi confederates. In fact, vaccine mandates disproportionately harm racial minorities: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/to-tackle-vaccine-hesitancy-canada-can-t-ignore-race-racism-health-experts-1.5234212
Why black and indigenous canadians don't go get vaccinated doesn't matter at all to me. It was hilarious to see tons of punjabis calling themselves fringe minority of racists or white supremacists.
None of this matters though. Trudeau never said sorry for calling a jew a nazi. He never said sorry for being tyrannical. He missed the window to make this right. Nobody has a time machine to fix it now.
The right-wing isn't going to pout over our loss of our right to peaceful protest. We must move forward with strength. There will be consequences for Canada now that the right-wing cannot legally protest.
Here's what I also expect to happen. The same canadian media will not have learnt from the mistake. They will see Pierre as officially looking to defund them, otoole and scheer were public in their intent to defund. The media will continue to attack Pierre. The media will propose their erin otoole 2.0 as new cpc leader aka charest. We will get to see how much power the media has in deciding the CPC leadership.
We know Trudeau will cling onto power until 2025 with NDP in tow. Trudeau will have ruled for 10 years. Virtually no leaders ever rule for more than that. Which is why everyone was asking him if he was going to step down. 3 more years of tyranny, corruption, and scandal. He already has the weakest minority in history. He's 100% going to lose in 2025, but what happens if he doesn't?
Did you read about the ndp/liberal plan? https://pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2022/03/22/delivering-canadians-now Go read #7. They are planning some pretty significant changes to our election system going into a for-sure-lose election.
I can't read your Feb 10 NYT editorial board's opinion piece because I don't have an account, ...
Wierd, I too dont have an account and could read.
but since the opinion piece is from Feb 10 and Trudeau didn't invoke the Emergencies Act until Feb 14 you can't really claim NYT disapproved of that action, can you?
I pasted their words. They specifically said it was wrong to use force.
I don't know Ian Kochinski (Vaush) but no one should be surprised that a libertarian market socialist
Fair. Im providing leftists. im not defending them.
Are you sure Dore is still a Bernie Bro? The Internet tells me he's a bit of a fascist now
100% a bernie bro. I havent seen anyone call him a fascist before and I would defend jimmy dore against such an absurd claim. However I'm noticing a pattern. You're attacking the person so far each time.
He doesn't sound like a Trudeau supporter at the best of times. He is so far left no doubt Trudeau looks right to him. He believes in "A socialist egalitarian system based on the massive redistribution of wealth, [with] heavy taxation of corporations...I think the very concept of profit should be hugely reduced...I say profit is a filthy word, because wherever there is a profit there is also a deficit."
Yes, he is a leftist, I wont defend his positions. The point I am making... this is the entire political spectrum denouncing Trudeau. If I can show far left to far right agreeing with each other and denouncing Trudeau. The problem isn't left vs right. The problem is Trudeau's actions.
The important factor being, these people are consistent in their support for democracy. They have differing views of how it should operate. There's a video of Russel Brand and Ben Shapiro 'respectfully disagreeeing with each other' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMiug2sZ4Io
They dont agree politically or ideologically at all on ANYTHING. but here they are agreeing together Trudeau was tyrannical.
I think I'll call that hyperbole for now. The comparison to Hitler will be more apt when Trudeau starts building big ovens and rounding up people to put on trains.
Bill maher is the one who said it. You may disagree with what he said. That's fine with me.
Let's stay in the real world, shall we? What he said was "Conservative party members can stand with people who wave swastikas", and it was Conservative members of parliament who were out there for photo ops with the protesters.
In the real world, if you stand with swastikas... you are a nazi. Trudeau absolutely called her a nazi. Let me point out... there were no nazi flags at the protest at all. Never did anyone prove the single nazi flag was involved with the protest at all. The entire point of the CBC calling to denazify the protest or Trudeau calling a jew a nazi is the same as Putin calling Zelensky a nazi and the need to denazify ukraine.
If you personally do not take it as calling her a nazi. You are being very sympathetic to Trudeau that I will not be.
No, it's largely vocal right wingers. "Two-thirds of Canadians support use of Emergencies Act and want Freedom Convoy cleared out: poll" https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/two-thirds-of-canadians-support-use-of-emergencies-act-and-want-freedom-convoy-cleared-out-poll. Two thirds of Canadians did not vote for him but two thirds of Canadians supported him on this.
Yes, when you publish that the protest are a bunch of sexist racists, white supremacist nazi confederates looking to overthrow the government. Then poll a small number of people. You're going have skewed polling. Polling will always have an error margin due to media misrepresentation. Polling is remarkably poor since yellow journalism came back.
Flipside, most successful protest in how many decades? BLM riots all over north america and they achieved literally nothing. The freedom protest was remarkably successful eh.
Also you literally just dismissed how many leftists? You attacked each of their characters at what end? Do you think I care to defend some leftists? How about your world view eh? You have to dismiss everyone who isn't in your echo chamber? Left right? Doesnt matter. You have to attack!
Too young to remember the use of the War Measures Act, eh?
On the contrary. If you look at Trudeau's father. You can see some justification for the use of the act. There were bombs going off, people dying. Hell they even managed to kill a trained soldier after the war measures act implemented. Shit was going down. VERY VERY unlike what was happening in Ottawa and their bouncy castles.
But more importantly. Politicians did not. They thought Trudeau #1 was tyrannical. They scrapped this legislation and replaced it because of charter right violations. The emergency act was designed specifically not to touch legitimate charter rights. They knew decades prior another tyrannical trudeau would come along. They knew it would be abused. So they wrote Section 46 into the act. Every single protester who got arrested or removed from outside parliament was damaged losing their charter rights. They are about to get compensation for those damages.
Even better... remember Omar Khadr... the terrorist you can watch build bombs on youtube who killed american soldiers. Trudeau gave him how many millions for nothing Canada ever did. I totally agree the Americans tortured this terrorist at gitmo but Canada did nothing.
So how many millions each will these protesters be getting? Technically it only matters in so far as you believe our courts provide justice.
Now you're getting hysterical. I've spent every weekend for three months visiting at a hospital within spitting distance of Queens Park, and for a lot of those weekends there were hundreds and sometimes thousands of protesters in the street there. The protesters were so thick one time my normal 25 minute drive home took 2 and a half hours, that's how many people were out. All I ever heard of in the way of arrests was one guy for a smoke bomb and another one for throwing shit at someone.
Not at all hysterical. I'm calling it for what it is. What Trudeau did absolutely made protesting illegal. Some government authorized protests against doug ford is not convincing me anything changed. It will take something pretty shocking from Trudeau to re-establish that peaceful protesting is legal.
Narcissistic blackface tyrannical trudeau will absolutely not be providing anything that will ever satisfy this.
The reason the NYTimes said peaceful protest is so necessary to democracy. When peaceful protest is banned like it is now in Canada. It means protesters have to do something else.
Obviously a moving protest is step 1. Difficult for police to plan anything when the protests move.
Eventually the police will setup barricades and capture the moving protest. They'll arrest and remove those people's right to protest. Obviously this already happened as well. So many arrests in so many cities.
Eventually when you remove everyone's peaceful protest right. The protests become violent. Just look at Occupy or BLM riots. Is Canada ready for a right-wing violence? The right wing knows violence very well. Trudeau will be justified in his national emergency next time.
This is why the NYTimes says peaceful protest is necessary for democracy. They are right.
If you want something specific you'll need to ask. To note: these are leftist folks denouncing Trudeau. There's ample videos from right-wing folks or centrists calling out Trudeau. No need to share those. I provide leftits sources to show that this is a huge problem.
NYTimes: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/10/opinion/ottawa-trucker-protests.html
NYTimes: We disagree with the protesters’ cause, but they have a right to be noisy and even disruptive. Protests are a necessary form of expression in a democratic society, particularly for those whose opinions do not command broad popular support. Governments have a responsibility to prevent violence by protesters, but they must be willing to accept some degree of disruption by those seeking to be heard. Entertaining the use of force to disperse or contain legal protests is wrong.
By NYTimes own words, they assert what Trudeau did was wrong. They are right.
Vaush-Antifa: https://twitter.com/vaushv/status/1493511896351211520?s=21
Jimmy Dore-Bernie Bro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AK1b9Cx_QY
Please note: Jimmy Dore's video talking about Putin. This was pre-war. When the war actually happened, it made Trudeau's tyranny that much worse.
One of Russel Brands' videos: https://youtu.be/WUdg-qn7WjE
Bill Maher calling Trudeau Hitler before Trudeau even pulled the trigger on the emergency act: Bill Maher called Trudeau hitler BEFORE he crushed a legitimate protest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i72czkSUsM
Trudeau calling a Jewish lesbian politician a nazi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz-GrEc5Kv0
I'm sure I could provide many more links. What's important or what I'm trying to show. It's not just some right wingers opposing Trudeau. It's the entire political spectrum.
It's a hard pill to swallow but we have a tyrannical government. The Canadian media is publishing propaganda. Nobody would have guessed this would ever happen to Canada but it has. Peaceful protest is now illegal. As the NYTimes says, Protesting is a necessary form of expression in democracy. Since Trudeau and Singh made protest illegal.
We now must look at the consequences of this reality.
The right wing will criticize Trudeau on his actions surprising nobody. We can ignore them.
The important distinction is that left-wing folks also criticized and denounced Trudeau. Bernie Bros, Antifa, etc all opposed. The only people who seem to not criticize Trudeau tyranny are the Canadian left. Why?
Canadian media represented the protest as nazi confederates looking to overthrow the government. This absolutely absurd story got the international media on the ground. Who saw the truth. Only the Canadian media saw this protest as a bunch of nazis and racists. CBC literally called for the denazification of the protest. People like Bill Maher literally called Trudeau Hitler. Russel Brand is much the same.
Then you have Trudeau calling a jewish MP a nazi. He was called Hitler right before he did that...
Then suddenly Putin invaded Ukraine to denazify the jewish president. Everyone saw what happened. Everyone has been super confused why Canada has been getting actively excluded from diplomacy. We now know why.
Ultimately none of this matters. Nobody cares that 90% of the EU walked out on Trudeau.
What does matter is the precedent that the right wing does not have the right to protest. They will declare a national emergency and crush our protests. They will charge us with petty vague crimes like mischief to remove our charter right to protest.
Do you know why this is a disaster? Why peaceful protesting should be protected and not be made illegal.
Because when peaceful protests are not legal, like is the current case, we must resort to other options. Is Canada ready for those other options?
Personally I think public buildings should not allow smoking by default but businesses should have the ability to construct 'smoking lounges' in which smokers may go smoke inside. I've seen these in major international airports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_room#/media/File:Camelsmokinglounge.jpg
Flipside, have you followed the tobacco = cancer research lately?
You will find all the anti-tobacco research ended in ~2005.
Tobacco consumption has continuously decreased but you will be hard pressed to find tobacco = cancer research since 2005.
In fact, if you look for updated information... there's a dramatic increase in lung cancer since about 2005.
So what happened in 2005? Science-wide you had to start declaring your conflict of interests. But that doesnt explain the increase in lung cancer. Its not better detection. We had the same capability of detection in 2004. It is a genuine increase and is becoming worse. More problematic, the raw data says tobacco is not related or at best poorly correlated.
The problem? Go look for lung cancer vs tobacco statistics. It's heavily censored and literally nobody is looking into it. They are happy to just keep blaming tobacco?
Not saying go buy a pack and start smoking again. We know tobacco isn't good for you.
Civil movement leaders are going to spend time in prison. They knew this when they got involved in this.
Naturally right-wing celebrities opposed the emergency act's misuse. It's important to note that left-wing entities like the NYTimes may ideologically oppose the goals of the freedom protest, but they were consistent in their support of allowing the protest to continue.
Protests are a necessary form of expression in a democratic society, particularly for those whose opinions do not command broad popular support. Governments have a responsibility to prevent violence by protesters, but they must be willing to accept some degree of disruption by those seeking to be heard. Entertaining the use of force to disperse or contain legal protests is wrong.
What Trudeau did was tyrannical and by NYTimes own words they say he was wrong. I applaud the NYtimes for being consistent here.
Flipside, what was proven to the right wing by what Trudeau did? We do not have the charter right to peaceful protest.
They will crush a peaceful protest and charge you with vague and petty crimes like 'mischief' to remove you from society.
Now that we know right-wing peaceful protest is illegal. It means we must resort to other options.
Latest polls all show significant lead for NDP. Not because the NDP are a good option. He had 55% of the vote in the last election because NDP aren't a good option. This lead for the NDP is entirely because of his own actions.
Perhaps he should consider not attacking his own supporters as lunatics. Perhaps he shouldn't have his government carrying protesters away and imprisoning them indefinitely without charge?
What's more important. It's not even covid related like implied in this article. He wants to stay in power because he knows the next leader will be separatist. Wexit in power of the UCP will almost certainly defeat the NDP in the election. The reality is the civil war shortly afterwards would be bad for both Canada and Wexit.
He in one sentence is talking about covid vaccine and goes into his nephew at 6 years old having a heart attack. He says the doctors dont know but I feel like that's a lie. These are beside each other because they are connected.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/myocarditis.html
It's not a conspiracy or misinformation.
This dude is upset because he convinced this kid to get the shot and he subsequently had a heart attack and is "no longer of this world"
His politics convinced an innocent at no risk 6 year old kid to get the shot and killed him.
He's melting down from this stress because he is morally and ethically responsible for killing this child.
The NDP tried to do this many years ago and Trudeau said no.
So what changed? Its obvious what changed. The freedom protest in Ottawa was tremendously successful. Trudeau is literally incapable of getting another majority. There's too much controversy of blackface and even left-wing entities like nytimes have denounced Tyrannical Trudeau.
It also seems obvious, and Trudeau quietly revealed it, that Russia had agents in our media. They were the ones calling everyone nazis. Global has a couple funny examples where the author was saying nazi nazi nazi. Then suddenly in the thick of things 'went on vacation' for 10 days and when they came back it was all about identifying russian misinformation and how russian cyber warfare is a problem.
It's much better... the russian sanctions directly destroy a significant portion of environmental activism. As Russia out of self-interest funds those groups. Trudeau just lost a ton of allies.
It's worse... keystone xl shutdown. energy east shutdown. How exactly are we going to deliver our oil to europe? trains across the continent? Inevitable disaster of a train derailment.
The funny part. Everyone is talking about how this will be national pharmacare or dental. No chance, this isn't about them being able to go ham, it's them surviving.
https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/government-debt-to-gdp
86.8% to 117% and then refused to report in 2021?
5.7% inflation, there's no such thing as a unbalanced budget. When the government runs a deficit, it comes out as inflation.
https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/government-debt
Trudeau has produced more debt for our country than all other previous governments in history combined.
70% increase in military spending has been promised by Trudeau but is required by our allies. Where is that money coming from?
This anticonservative coalition is just paper. They cant finance anything they want to do and worse yet, Russian conflict means they have to break bread with their political opponents. The same people they have been actively attacking and calling nazis lately.
Calling Adam Vaughan a dimwit is an insult to dimwits.
