Senate vote

[TOM4CWB]

It becomes this way because the people elected to listen to all sides refuse to do their job.

And that can be proven by the fact that politicians took the week off.

Bucket this week was pre-scheduled to be an In Constituency week, the MP's already gave up their Family Day weekend to have the vote on the EMA.

The last weekend was 7am to 12pm each day in lockup because the police were busy breaking the law outside the West Block on Parliament Hill.

PM Trudeau and DPM Freeland are the fascists who fail to instead be reasonable and do their jobs.

So you are saying more than 50% are supporting the blockades? Average would be 50%.

I did not say average opinion, I said average people. Every day, working class, average people you’re passing on the street every day, talking to every day. They aren’t all loners hidden in basements with radical opinions.

Your question is also too narrow.

You can support the removal of the mandates without supporting all methods used. Myself, I wasn’t, and still am not, averse to the convoy. However I never agreed that the blockades were the way to go about it.

So should someone ask me the very specific question you just did; do you support the blockades?

My answer would be no and that apparently would be translated to I’m against the entire kit and caboodle.

I’m not.

Change your question if you want to try and apply it to the entire movement.

I am not against legal protests and freedom of expression. When the line is crossed I will condemn it no matter what average citizen does it.

There was already a survey done on this. More than 50% had reservations about the convoys prolonged protest, byt as many as 55% sympathized with the cause. 65% want the same mandates lifted.

And now that they see the govt weaponizing the EMA against people, the convoy support has likely skyrocketed. The majority of the donors were from Quebec and Ontario.

Agstarr and chuck like to overlay vaxx rates over every issue like out idiot PM. At least 40% of people vaxxed would have never taken it if not for coercive measures from our govt and employers.

And most worrysome for for our progressive partys, in the 18-34 age range the support for the convoy is as high as 60%.

Phuck that noise!

If it's an emergency, it deserves attention. They should be voting on an opposition motion to stop this. And rewriting the parameters to use this act.

Young angry men. Don’t underestimate them. Old people are saddled with too much wisdom and fear.

For my detractors this statement has a double meaning. I didn’t want you to get confused.

Obviously Aggri you missed the memo...

Voting on other peoples constitutional Charter of Rights and Freedoms is not ethical, justified, nor reasonable.

Lets have a vote on Agriville to force Agstar77 to sell his farm and give the proceeds to the Maverick Party!

If over 50% of us voted in favour... would that be a legally binding contract forcing you Agastar77 to sell your farm and give the proceeds to the Maverick Party?

Well you proclaiming that some poll determine our Charter Rights and Freedoms are not something you can vote away...from me...

The damage that will be done to Canada will be immeasurable. The world is aghast at Canada envoking the “War Measures Act” and freezing bank accounts of people who have not done anything criminal. Capital, immigration and new businesses would not come near a country like that with a ten-foot pole. I just heard of a good customer that is looking at a farm in Texas and putting his land up for sale. Doesn’t want to live in a communist country. That’s the perception that the world has of us now. A prime minister so arrogant that he wouldn’t discuss alternate options, but hurls lies and abuses at civilians, then expunges their rights and freedoms that were embrazened in the constitution. You left-wing lunatics can say what you want but the damage was not created by a peaceful protest. The world has taken notice, according to relatives in Australia, they are horrified for us.

You seem to be condemning the entire thing, even the premise of having the opinion.

When is the line crossed?

There have been blockades and protests that occupied before, with much more damage done. Why is this one so condemnable? So dangerous as to require the EA? That participants and supporters a like risk getting their bank accounts frozen?

In previous situations, the PM actually joined in and supported them! Yet this time they are actively against him so it’s a totally different ball game?

If you can’t understand why people have growing anger over the double standard then just say you can’t understand it. Don’t join in with the flimsy excuse that all of us that feel this way are white supremacists or criminals and acting illegally therefore apparently have no entitlement to an opinion or being heard. I can assure you, most of us are not any of those things.

Any survey should be followed up with the question, do you get your news from CBC and CTV?

If the majority actually searched out news in alternative sources, those numbers would sway very differently.

But gladly, those two channels lost lots of viewers in the past month. My parent turn it off now.

When is the line crossed?.

BLM and Antifa crossed the line in the first couple days and those protests went on for 3 months. They were even bussing protestors into Canada.

I just heard of a good customer that is looking at a farm in Texas and putting his land up for sale. D.

Sum, how is he going to immigrate? Have to have some sort of VISA to stay in the US. E2 or EB5, or if you cna get an employer to hire you.

All those truckers are busy getting visas and criminal waivers and will be gone to the US in mere days.

Canada is so much poorer.

Exactly. Just the typical fear and smear when nothing is left to say which is logical.
