The statement kinda loses it’s impact once you realize it’s coming from a leader who illegally broke up a protest against himself and his government
It’s pretty telling that you don’t say what protest you’re talking about. Is it the stupid truckers?
Which other protests ended with the federal government illegally using the Emergency Act?
Only if you’re an idiot that compares the attempted genocide of a people to a leader ensuring trade routes remain open for businesses and a city’s residents aren’t traumatized by racist children that like to make noise.
Are you talking about those antivax pieces of garbage who harassed homeless people and local businesses because another country wouldn’t let them across their border?

It’s never okay for a government to freeze it’s citizens bank accounts. Let alone for political reasons, that’s fascist as fuck.
I think people with swastikas on their flags are usually considered fascist.
Maybe look into the paradox of tolerance.

I’ve read the book. Was still confused, but could kinda see how that could be what you meant
Make a fine for people who support nazi ideals. Don’t stop people from being able to pay for food with money they already earned.
Do you think it’s wrong to freeze the bank accounts of members of al Qaeda?
What’s the distinction between a member of al Qaeda and a Nazi? Both are foreign groups that use violence to get their way. Both groups are considered enemies of Canada.
Should members of al Qaeda be allowed to do as they please in Canada because “they just have different ideals?”
If a member of al Qaeda has a legal job that he gets paid for, he should be allowed to have the money he earned. Money for work is so basic.

Ahh, good ol’ right wingers using words they don’t understand to make arguments they don’t fully comprehend.
I’m not a right winger
Are you Canadian?
If you are you should be able to understand how a minority government can not be fascist.

Are you telling me a minority government has unlimited power?

That protest wasn’t against Trudeau, it was against common sense.
We’re talking about someone will the IQ and memory capacity of a goldfish
Hey now, don’t be giving goldfish a bad name now - some have good memory capacity

Nothing more to say, just wanting to stand up for goldfish is all.
He’s not perfect but let’s see Russians drive around with “fuck putin” on their truck and see how long that works out for them.

“Canada’s a free country! I can drive around with a ‘[BLEEP] Trudeau’ bumper sticker any time I want!”
“Ah, but Russia is *also* a free country. I *too* can drive around with a ‘[BLEEP] Trudeau’ bumper sticker any time I want.”
(Thank you, Soviet Anecdote Formula Number 46!)
Peaceful protest it was not.
According to the courts it did not meet the standard of violence required.
Doesn’t make it illegal bud. Learn how our system works before opening your COVID riddled mouth.
Why tf does it matter what the protests were about? You disagree politically so it’s okay for the government to do that? That’s a slippery slope.
I don’t disagree politically bro, I disagree scientifically, and logically. Our government had a responsibility to remove you terrorists, they just did it a way that allows you twats to act like your oppressed.
You? I’m just a Yank who sees injustice. I don’t know anything about it other than a person in power froze the people’s bank account of some of its citizens and that’s wild asf. If they were Nazis I wasn’t aware but it’s still not okay to take money someone earned. Make a law that fines Nazis if you have to but don’t just freeze people’s bank accounts, that’s fucked up.
Most frozen accounts were organizers and people who were receiving money from others to continue with their “protests” or people espousing violent rhetoric. If you just believe the ticktoks you’re never going to see reality. These fucking idiots are still protesting all over our country, afraid of digital IDs ,vaccines, demanding mandates be dropped, people be rehired. Like dude they crazy and don’t mesh well with reality.
So let the idiots yell, don’t stop them from being able to pay for necessities.
“Slippery slope” is a logical fallacy.
The antivax cowards had many peaceful protests previously without issue. They weren’t getting their demands met because their demands were idiotic.
So they escalated to disrupting the functioning of the government. Using psyops tactics against civilians. Harrassing civilians. Disrupting emergency services.
And for what? It wasn’t to increase awareness of covid restrictions. These restrictions were placed on the entire population, we were all aware of them. No it was an attempt to affect a change using extortion. Changes contrary to the democratic will of the country.
Since you love the slippery slope fallacies, consider the slope in the other direction. If an organized crime outfit used intimidation tactics to get their way, could they declare it as a “protest” and get off scot free? Where do you draw the line in that direction?
Not commenting on the argument, but just FYI: “Slippery Slope” actually refers to an argument that could include a slippery slope fallacy, but not necessarily. A slippery slope fallacy is an informal fallacy, meaning that any errors are in the content and not the format of the argument (i.e. the slippery slope argument itself).

If it wasn’t illegal then the government wouldn’t have lost the court case.

So you agree it was violent and not peaceful? Lol whoops.
In a world where some consider mean words and minor action as violent, yes it was.
Lol means words and “minor action” it was not. Well we can see you for what you are, trying to downplay reality. Cheers.
@northmaple1984 @sik0fewl your statement kinda loses its impact when you realise he didn’t do what you described.

Courts disagree
@northmaple1984 One judge, to be appealed ≠ “courts”
@northmaple1984 @sik0fewl
Oh, F off.
lol WHAT ABOUT the time Trudy cucked the Ottawa police when they couldn’t perform
There’s a difference between illegal and not meeting a standard to use a policy.
Also y’all weren’t protesting him you were protesting people with brains.

The Emergencies Act, formerly the War Measures Act, is literally designed to suspend certain rights and freedoms during a national emergency. The only ever time it was used was during the FLQ crisis when politicians were being kidnapped and murdered.
You need to understand that the only thing that guarantees you your rights and freedoms is a piece of paper.

Funny, I seem to recall a bunch of bad actors larping as truckers blocking every single street in downtown Ottawa and blocking international borders obstructing trade. This wasn’t just a bunch of people with signs down on the corner that Trudeau didn’t like, they were intentionally stoking political fires and creating a national security issue. It was also shown that the “truckers” that didn’t want to get vaccinated got vaccinated in overwhelming numbers, even greater percentages than other industries due to the need to actually cross borders to do their job. The protestors were funded by American fascist groups.
It took weeks of inaction from Ford and the Ottawa police before Trudeau finally had to act to restore order.
Countries can be going through their own struggles and stand against foreign tyranny at the same time.

Assange represents a threat to Canada as much as he represents a threat to the US. Trudeau isn’t going to criticize the American response to Assange anyway, because our governments agree that our secrets are cooler than enemy secrets.

Wellll no. Shut up. That’s just additional whataboutisms. You didn’t add anything new to the dialogue refuting my statement. So shut the fuck up and stop diminishing the little bit of good. You have ample spaces to rant about everything that sucks.
