Blah blah blah. Poor attempt coverup of you and your religious nut job whackos.

Does no one read at all anymore? Seriously!!!

I think maybe very few Canadians are reading stuff that suggests "far right" are about to take over our country but you can tell us how popular it is among your friends and colleagues.

Is there any example of those that don't agree with your views that are considered anything but "far" right?

You can have any view you want, just don't try to take a mob and try to overtake elected officials and create your own government. Like what you have very poorly attempted to do and ended up in arrests.

I would agree PT the first needed it. The problem facing the cabinet was this. Ontario said they lacked the resources to deal with the blockade and attack on elected officials even after calling a provincial emergency. So what do they do? They request help Federally whose hands are tied as they don't direct not only the police in Ontario - but anywhere. They make laws. That is all they do. Enforcement is the job of Police.

3. For the purposes of this Act, a national emergency is an urgent and critical situation of a temporary nature that

(a) seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it, or

(b) seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada

A temporary nature - exactly like an illegal occupation with purpose to overthrow the elected government to be put to an end with enough resources and tools and power to get tow trucks and whatever is needed to end it.

The emergency debate in Parliament is merely scripted theatrics. By end of today Ottawa will look very different. Most likely, there will not even be a need to debate as it will all be over and rescinded.

Just Two Weeks to flatten the curve.

If the liberals don’t dump Trudeau after the protest is cleaned up their party is doomed to a Kim Campbell defeat. Perhaps it’ll happen if he goes and Freeland takes helm. The longer Trudeau stays gives time for conservatives to get their act together and maybe look electable.

I agree, but it's better if Trudeau stays at the helm for a little while yet, in the last few weeks alone he has probably made 60 or 70 liberal MP's unemployed after the next election. Every time he speaks he's a detriment to the liberal party now. I think the Liberal's can't wait for this session to end and have him away from the camera.

Even the cbc is having a hard time finding a news clip of him giving a speech that isn't self destructive for the liberal party.

But the best part is the whole world has seen how low his skill level is at leadership. In a normal world that would make him unemployable.

Having said that, then it's a given he'll be working at the UN, kneeling down with small children and smiling for the cameras.

Meanwhile back in Canada, confused exhausted liberal's will still be wondering why the budget isn't balancing itself. They will blame the Conservatives.

Weapons of mass destruction rhetoric worked for Bush.

I'm afraid so.
But from all evidence so far, there has not been a shot fired. I think if I had loaded up my truck or RV with weapons and gone to Ottawa to overthrow the government, I wouldn't go down without a fight, the punishment probably won't be any different. It's not like today's events weren't very well advertised in advance.

So any weapons found at this stage would make any rational person highly suspicious as to who put them there.

I hope Freeland does take the helm. Instant self-implosion!

Yeah the videos of her giggling while implementing nazi policies are downright terrifying. Fascism with a smile.

didnt tweety tell us the CPC wil never win again. Uh oh.

People arent going to like the images of veteran protestors getting curb stomped. Already the tide is turning.

[WiltonRanch]

Are you sure? I struggle to determine which way it will go. He seems to be a genius at deflecting.

The Conservatives made a fundamental mistake siding with the protest. Will that hurt them more then whatever is thrown to stick at PM Trudeau?

I hope you’re wrong but Trudeau is like Boris The Blade the bullet dodger.

Parliament needs to get their shit together.
