Now that we know that Trudeau runs his party like a dictatorship, we must ask ourselves: is there any indication he wouldn't do the same as the leader of Canada?

Would a Prime Minister Trudeau arbitrarily whip the vote and outlaw certain moral questions? Could Prime Minister Trudeau be trusted to make decisions for the good of the country, not just for his personal self-worth? Would Trudeau call in the police to enforce his vision?

Let's hope we never have the opportunity to ask those questions.

Why is the PM a dictator and Kenney not? Is it because his christian gay hating far right philosophy aligns with yours?

He didn't consult with anyone about removing health restrictions, he just did. Insulted the gay and lesbian community making the announcement all the while his religious far right buddies occupied the border.

So he is a great leader?

I agree JT failed as miserably as a leader could. His cabinet though, pretty amazing how they handled all this. He wasn't in parliament because he most likely didn't understand the big words his Ministers were saying and doing all the work.

You should have spent some time during lockdown on a civics lesson. The EMA has to be voted on within 7 days of it being invoked. Thats Monday.

And it has to be revoted on 30 days later to extend it.

Any of those conditions fail to be met, its automatically rescinded.

At the end of 30 days an inquiry is automatically launched.

Lets see what seasoned senators think about horse tramplings, knees to stomachs, pepper spray, tear gas, and batons to ribs.

Who cares, it will all be done on Monday. Democracy works. If the NDP didn't want the Act, it will be over. Minority governments are the best functioning government with the most accountability.

Do you understand this? He can't do anything unless multiple parties agree. I hope we never have a majority government again. THAT is true dictatorship.

You missed the point. What good is an EMA without enough forces to enforce it.

It took 3 weeks, 4 weeks if you consider the advance notice the convoy gave before they even started, to amass enough forces to route a small fringe minority of unarmed truckers, and it looks like it will take 3 days, at least. Figure out what happens if this is repeated at multiple locations across the country.

And in spite of the great pay, and chance to beat up old ladies, how many of those forces will be willing to keep doing this over and over?

What about the children they beat up and the dogs?

[agstar77]

Why would anyone believe you? Dead grannies beat up vets cruelty to animals. Next thing the Pope is going to make you a saint, of course after T4.

Turds was voted down at the beginning of Covid and it best happen again.

Kenney is filing a court challenge.

Funny you should mention that. The two faced lying pos sent this:

in order to ensure a return of free movement of people, vehicles and goods and services through this pivotal location, we are seeking federal assistance in removing obstructions from the highway.…”

“I am requesting federal assistance that includes the provision of equipment and personnel to move approximately 70 semi-tractor trailers and approximately 75 personal and recreational vehicles from the area.

And again:

... 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

Now he is "suing" the federal government over an act he requested. Good leadership.

Strong leadership with Canadians in mind. Go Kenney.

What about the children they beat up and the dogs?

Did CBC tried to twist the pig BBQ into a dog BBQ ?

You missed the point. What good is an EMA without enough forces to enforce it.

That is the point of the EMA, to obtain more resources when the emergency exceeds the ability of the province to deal with it. Like what snake Kenney asked for.

They were able to do a huge circle of checkpoints (not allowed under provincial law) and secure officers from multiple provinces. Able to get tow trucks and end this pathetic embarrassing occupation.

No one even knows how many thousand officers are there.

You can't trust your eyes because of doctored images and you certainly trust anything you say. First she was dead now she is alive. FOX fake news already retracted so P### off.

Did Kenney think this up on his own or did he consult good lawyers?

Cause it will be really hard to defend your case against the EMA after asking the feds for federal help with the Coutts blockade.

Like the CPC and Bergen supported the blockades and then not, Kenney is flip flopping and doing the funky chicken dance.
