But now he’s upset over their rights.

He’s a troll whose only rightful place on CP is on your ignore list.

Nope. As has been said before, we need to fact check posters like him, not to change his mind, but to make sure no one falls for his bull####.

Again. The 'international community is astounded'.

Are they really?

Yes. Every single non-Canadian on Earth, from the United States, to the United Kingdom, to the United Arab Emrites, is astounded by Trudeau's actions. It's science, look it up!

Listening to the podcast and conservatives in general, they keep saying Trudeau failed to negotiate with the convoy. Why in heavens sake would Trudeau negotiate with someone whose demands include overthrowing the government and replacing it with their own unelected "convoy" government?

The one podcast member criticizes Trudeau for demonizing them as among other things "confederates" which "I don't even understand in the context of Canada". Maybe he should focus on why there is such a large amount of protestors flying the confederate flag then and wearing Trump 2024 hats? And as we all know that is just the tip of that iceberg.

They argue that the threshold of "threat of serious violence" was not met yet according to the OPS they could not enforce any laws for three straight weeks because of the threat of serious violence.

Other than the host, Chamath is the only one who isn't using lies and rhetoric that has proven to be false to back his claims. My biggest problem with Chamath is he never acknowledges the police weren't enforcing laws in Coutts or Ottawa and there was no foreseeable end to these protests. I think there is a discussion to be made but the discussion should start with why did the police do nothing in Ottawa or Coutts until the emergency act was invoked?

If all these "protestors" want American laws and rules applied to them, perhaps they should consider moving?

[djsFlames]

Wonder if BL was also of the camp that believed there were a couple million convoyers rolling up on the capital in January.

What's worse is if they get a criminal record they won't be able to leave

See they said "threat of voilence" and the occupiers were simply blaring music and hiking horns preventing citizens from sleeping... aka torture... you know... actual violence. But there was no threat, so... act shouldn't apply.

The international (American) media at the Ambasador Bridge was astounded Canadian police would have ever let people block the bridge in the first place, much less take as much time to clear it as they did.

The Emergency Act is considered such a big deal to some people because the federal government in Canada has so little power compared to others. What’s the nuclear option here is SOP in other countries.

I was just reading the crypto thread in the Tech forum and it looks like someone here ended up on a list.

Tell a victim of domestic abuse that you need to get punched in the face for it to be violence. See how that goes.

I can't believe how much second hand embarrassment I have from these idiots. What a house of cards of stupidity.

I couldn't begin to imagine wasting weeks of my life to;

-Protest at the wrong level of government

-Complain about lack of freedom from a hot tub with a DJ and bouncy castle

-Walk next to swastika flags and then around and condemn the government for turning Canada into Nazi Germany.

-Compare idiots walking into a police line to Tiananmin Square.

-Hang out with people who think this occupation zone is a good place to bring their kids.

-Talk about performing a coup, from a place of less than 0 power.


These people are so ####ing stupid it actually offends me and I hope all of them end up getting charged for the criminal occupation of Ottawa.

Who’s clutching pearls here? Oh no some foreign commentators think we’re embarrassing!

Do whatever you want. But hey, I like to believe that 99% of the board is too smart to fall for the shtick. There’s so much misinformation allowed on this board you’d get tennis elbow trying to play whack a mole on it.

The ignore button though… that’s reserved for those who contribute absolutely nothing worth seeing, and trust me… it’s bliss.

I do agree that most people here are smart and reasonable but I’ve seen people I know get influenced by his ilk so I hate seeing him going unchecked.

I’ve never used the ignore button but I wouldn’t judge anyone who does. If you don’t want to deal with trolls it’s a handy feature.

Definitely

Didn't think Trudeau could bungle this worse than he had a week ago, but welp, he's done it.

What a disaster

What a disaster

Lolwut? Ottawa police with help from RCMP have managed to clear out downtown Ottawa. The camp at the baseball parking lot also is clearing up. Hopefully peace returns to residents of Ottawa. All this made possible by PM Trudeau's emergency measures act invocation. All this makes sense and with minimal violence.

Wait... Unless you are actually a domestic terrorist sympathizer?
