So people in Canada are losing their jobs because they donated to a political cause retroactively declared illegal by the federal government, on the basis of being publicly identified by the media, using stolen data from a fundraising website. Totally normally, right?

Trudeau cabinet minister Mary Ng won't resign for violating the federal conflict of interest act because Justin Trudeau didn't resign for violating the federal conflict of interest act, multiple times. Liberals have internalized political corruption. It's now part of their brand.

Question: How does a politician who didn't know Blackface was racist as a 29-year-old teacher, doesn't remember how many times he did it & whose response to an allegation of groping was perhaps she experienced it differently, get to decide which Cdns are racists and misogynists?
Trudeau government is refusing to release to the public inquiry the legal opinion it used to justify invoking the Emergencies Act against the truckers' convoy, when the convoy didn't meet the legal definition of a security threat in the Emergencies Act. What does that tell you?
Former Ford gov't staffer fired after $100 convoy donation sues gov't, media: Marion Isabeau Ringuette seeks $450,000 for wrongful dismissal, $1.5 million for invasion of privacy, public disclosure of private fact, damage to reputation, emotional distress.
I wonder if Justin Trudeau ever thought that just seven years after becoming prime minister, his government would be denounced by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association for invoking the never-before-used Emergencies Act, while failing to establish a valid reason for doing so?
So in the House of Commons it's wrong to ask questions about the head of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, saying Trudeau & half of his cabinet are WEF members, but it's ok for Trudeau to accuse a Conservative MP descended from Holocaust survivors of cheering the Swastika.

Just now Chrystia Freeland details how some Emergency Act powers will be made permanent. (we actually thought she might wait a few days before enacting a permanent police state)
When a country:
(a) can't issue passports competently
(b) can't manage air travel competently
(c) can't address medical wait times competently
(d) can't provide clean water to reserves competently
You do start to wonder if anyone's actually in charge both federally & provincially
If Liberal cabinet ministers can 'joke' about turning tanks on civilians, can civilians 'joke' about turning guns on politicians, or are they both equally abhorrent and should be equally denounced? Now let's see who does.
Why Canada is not a serious country: A 2-year pandemic has shown our healthcare system is broken, the Trudeau gov't refuses to disclose evidence it used in deciding to invoke the Emergencies Act & the MSM is fretting about whether Pierre Poilievre's crowds are too white

There's no right in Canada to block a road, highway, railway or pipeline? 🤣🤣🤣 It's a divine right in Canada as long as you're protesting 'climate change' and the oil and gas sector. Anything else, not so much.

I humbly request the Supreme Court of the United States to deliver a ruling on the fact Canada has some of the longest medical wait times in the developed world, so Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will start talking about them.

Justin Trudeau says democracy is threatened by the protests in Ottawa and yet he never implemented the Emergencies Act to end railway and highway blockades and destruction of property by other groups. Does he seriously believe ending this protest means the protests will end?
Congratulations to the Goldstein household! We used 6% less natural gas this month compared to last January, and our bill is, appropriately, only 63% higher. 🤦♂️

Re Ottawa: Police practice today emphasizes keeping the peace over busting heads, which accounts for the standoff in Ottawa. The police view this as a dispute between the protesters and the Trudeau government which they cannot solve. They're right.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointing task force of 10 cabinet ministers and 3 ex-officio ministers to speed up passport & immigration applications is literally appointing 13 ministers to do a job two cabinet ministers should have done competently in the 1st place.

What is the point of a public inquiry into the Trudeau govt's use of the Emergencies Act - which has to be announced by Monday - if the gov't refuses to release its reasons for invoking the act, citing cabinet confidentiality & cabinet sets the terms of reference for the inquiry?
Everyone understand that if we go to mandatory vaccination for the general public in Canada as a handful of other countries are doing or considering, we'll cross a bright red line from which there will be no coming back, and that we're already part of the way there?

Brian Peckford sues gov't over COVID travel ban: "When I heard Trudeau call the unvaccinated ‘racists,’ ‘misogynists, ‘anti-science’ & ‘extremist,’ & his musing, ‘do we tolerate these people?’ it became clear he is advancing a vendetta against a specific group of Canadians."
News flash: It's not the job of the media to ask questions of politicians of which the politicians heartily approve. Anyone who doesn't understand that --including journalists -- doesn't understand the job.

Overheard at Pearson airport:
"I'm going to Vancouver but I'd like you to send my luggage to Edmonton."
"Sir, we can't do that."
"Why not, you did it last week."
😉
We believe our country should align with the emerging global consensus and adjust our policies to better match the diminishing risks of the pandemic, including a plan to remove restrictions and testing requirements for fully vaccinated travellers.
The problem with police proclaiming that "freedom" protesters have no right to impede traffic & block streets, is that they've allowed it to occur so often with so-called "environmental" protesters. People see this double standard and, sadly, it encourages disrespect for the law.
Liberal narrative for invoking Emergencies Act continues to fall apart:
'Juan Benitez, president of fundraising website GoFundMe, said his company’s analysis of the more than $10 million donated through the platform found that 88% of donations & 86% of donors were from Canada'
Justin Trudeau said he was against vaccine passports, then changed his mind.
He said 'we’re not a country that makes vaccination mandatory', then changed his mind.
He has said he would never call in the military to deal with protests by Canadian citizens.
So we'll see.

Whoever prepared original Trudeau gov't data claiming 80% of families in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan & Manitoba would get back more in rebates than paying in carbon taxes must have known they were omitting data the PBO included, showing reverse, 60% will pay more. Disturbing.
Canadian Civil Liberties Association calls on PM to rescind Emergencies Act: 'The relevant question now is not whether the government was justified in issuing a proclamation of emergency. It is whether the proclamation continues to be justified today. The clear answer ... is no'

To be fair, there were fewer Swastikas and Confederate flags on display during the truckers' protest in Ottawa than the number of times Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn't remember that he wore blackface.

Alarming some media demanding investigations of people based on stolen data from a fundraising site. Is it now open season on destroying people's reputations for donating money to a political cause with zero evidence provided they were instrumental in or supported law-breaking?
Using the same logic, BLM, Indigenous protesters, labour unions & environmental groups should shut up & sit down because civilians are dying in Ukraine & children are starving in Yemen. When you defend the right to protest only if you agree with the protest, you've lost the plot.
Honestly. Civilians are dying in Ukraine. Children are starving in Yemen. And the people protesting in downtown

If you blame Jews in Canada for the actions of the Israeli military in Gaza, then starting blaming Muslims in Canada for the terrorism of Hamas because, literally, that's how stupid you are.
How about we leave American decisions on abortion access to Americans & focus on our healthcare system, where lack of access and of timely access to many medical services, including a shortage of family doctors, is a huge problem, exacerbated by the pandemic and years of neglect.
Obviously Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is doing his best impression of 'Where's Waldo?' because there's nothing important going on in Ottawa.

Let's all agree on the painfully obvious: Trudeau & Co. have zero interest in giving a full accounting of why they invoked the Emergencies Act and are doing everything possible to avoid it: Justice minister invokes cabinet secrecy around Emergencies Act:
So much for a credible public inquiry:
'Trudeau government says it will not reveal what information led it to use the Emergencies Act to end truckers’ protests this winter, citing cabinet confidentiality in its response to legal challenges.'
