Poll of the Day > Trudeau REVOKES Emergency Act as Truck Protest now heads to the UNITED STATES!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ENDED the use of the Emergencies Act that was just passed TWO DAYS AGO where the powerful legislative tool was used to squash the protesters and blockades causing billions of lost revenue for both sides of the US and Canada after 3 weeks.

He said "The situation is no longer an emergency. We are confident now that existing laws and bylaws are now sufficient to keep people safe"

The Governor General will sign off on the revocation and ending it just as all Liberals and NDP voted to affirm the act on Monday and the Senate was in the midst of debating the act on Wednesday but withdrew the motion shortly after he made the announcement

The government's decision to invoke the act became controversial leading conservative news outlets to deem Trudeau as HITLER for invoking the act and silencing peaceful conservative protesters.

He said the act was a last resort when police were not doing enough to stop the blockades and said it was responsible and necessary

Jagmeet Singh was reluctant to vote on it but said he did it in the end to avoid an election and that the protests must stop blocking the border with trade from its most vital partner

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association also said the act was not necessary because the protests were not a legitimate national emergency

Many Banks began freezing accounts who have donated to the illegal convoy and others have lost respect from friends and family and JOBS when their names were leaked online as the convoy bitterly divided Canadians

It has not been this quiet in Ottawa in a month since police were able to remove the protesters and arrest 200+ of them with many facing serious charges

The Truck Convoy now turns to the United States as Truckers now will protest mandates and vaccines..but in WASHINGTON DC rather than blocking the borders like their the canadian counterparts

Will you be joining the protests pests if they rally in your area over mandates and vaccines?,

They were literally waving nazi flags you clown lol

considering it shouldn't have taken more than 2~3 hours to arrest the blockade and tow their trucks... it took over a week

Because Trudeaeu is weak and we need a more lefty hardliner

Maybe they shouldn't wave swastikas if they want to be called something else kid.

Not saying that's not possible but given the tactics I've seen I'm more willing to believe the Canadian government is behind that to discredit the protest.

Conveniently, they ignore the thousands of other anti-restriction protests that have been happening across the country for as long as Covid restrictions have been a thing that neither Trudeau nor anyone else has done anything to silence. I wonder what the key difference between those protests and this one might be? Surely it couldn't have anything to do with blockading national borders and torturing innocent citizens.

If I were a pointlessly rich man, I'd hire bagpipers to play 24/7 outside the homes and offices of every pundit that's calling this a "peaceful protest." See how long it takes that tune to change.

And is the government also behind everyone else in the protest that didn't kick out the Nazis? If that were a false flag meant to discredit the whole thing, after all, I would think the protest as a whole wouldn't take kindly to such efforts and would shoo them away to hold their own protest.

That protest wasn't one body. There were gay pride flags too. I can't say what they're thinking but I'm sure most people there weren't Nazi party sympathizers bent on genocide. Believing something like that is a caricature that I would expect from someone with dishonest intentions.

No but to our credit we probably won't be shutting down bank accounts over it

If there's a large group of people who want to do things that will obviously lead to them dying more and sooner, then I guess there's nothing I can really do about it, is there.

Individuals should be allowed to make their own choices including wearing a mask or getting a vaccine without the government or society judging them for not following the trend or even a collective belief

Can someone from Canada explain to me why it took weeks and a state of emergency before the police were allowed to tow the vehicles of and arrest a bunch of terrorists that violated noise ordinances, blocked major traffic arteries, set off fireworks in the middle of a densely populated urban area, and robbed a homeless shelter?

In the U.S., a cop could pull you over for having a tail light out, "smell drugs", and detain you for hours as he seizes your car and money as "civil asset forfeiture" after failing to find any drugs.

Like...we go way too far in the other direction. But how in the fucking shit does Canadian law not allow for the terrorist truckers to be arrested w/o invoking emergency powers?

the police refused so the emergency act was enabled

Unlike popular belief - it doesn't make the country a dictatorship, it just means the national guard gets called to duty... this would happen if ANY essential service failed to perform, including snow removal

It actually took longer as CSIS knew about this back in December but the various law enforcement agencies across the country have, let's call it, an interesting relationship with white nationals, causing them to downplay the threat posed by the organizers.

As to why it went on for as long as it did:

Ottawa police were overwhelmed and did not have the manpower to do anything other then look foolish. The Province could have helped sooner but the ruling provincial Conservatives were content to score political points against the federal Liberals, even if it meant Ottawa burned to the ground, but then the clowns blocked the border and disrupted trade, forcing the province to act.

The province could have even acted before they reached Ottawa, (as they had the intelligence reports telling them to shut it down asap) but again, they wanted to make the Liberals look bad.

I'm sure they weren't all Nazis, but they all tolerated Nazis to enough of an extent to let them march with them. That, and the protest's organizers are overtly white supremacists (one of the parties involved explicitly lists "the advancement of the white Aryan race" as one of their core goals).

Nevertheless, you are correct that characterizing the whole thing as a bunch of Nazis to discredit them is not reasonable. Their relationship with Nazis may be questionable, and there's a much higher concentration of Nazis among this group than among the general population, but they nevertheless were not all Nazis. They are, however, all terrorists, by virtue of attacking the economy and innocent civilians under the pretense of forcing political change (the definition of terrorism). That's why I prefer to focus on the terrorism angle and only bring up Nazis when talking about the definite Nazis.

Freedom of choice is not freedom from judgement. You may have the right to do stupid things, but you have no such right to not be called stupid for it, and you certainly have no right to not have people think you're stupid (since protecting that right would entail stripping everyone else of their freedom to think certain things).

Moreover, freedom of choice is not freedom from the consequences of that choice. The consequence of choosing not to take preventative measures during the greatest public health crisis in a century is that you are endangering others. Enforcement of those protective measures aims to counteract that consequence and protect other people from it (all of whom have a right to live their lives without being endangered by others). As the age-old saying goes, your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins: when exercising your freedoms risks hurting others, you shouldn't exercise those freedoms.

Debatable. There is a German expression that goes:

If you have one nazi sitting at a table and ten people join them, you now have eleven nazi's.

I know it was not as simple as looking around and finding yourself in a crowd wearing immaculate Hugo Boss uniforms with skulls on the collars and Adi Daschler jackboots, but some basic diligence of a quick google search could have saved them the endless grief they will now face.

I wouldn't support these losers for all the $ in the world.

That's what I'm getting at with the next line. They are certainly not as intolerant of Nazis as people ought to be in order to be considered decent, and that's something they should be held accountable for, but there's a distinction between being less not-okay with Nazis than they should be and actually donning Swastikas and goosestepping around.
