Well, when ya got your nose jammed up Trump's lardiferous ass crack, your vision is limited.
A reminder on how Harper handled the G20 protest in Toronto

Well, Russia's about as far from communism as a country could be, so you're right (not relevant to anything I can think of, but technically correct).
To be honest, you're not doing much better, describing the vast mass who really don't give two shits about your position on this or anything else as enemies.
mentalfloss is ridiculously over the top on this, but your clinical paranoia's no better.
I don't really give a flyin fukk about the low information masses. I have been dealing with anti logging protesters for almost 3 decades. So, when one of your so called friends supports the party that is destroying the logging industry, they are not really your friend. Same goes for the freedom convoy. Even right down to the media falsely reporting what is happening. The fact that by the end of this protest much of the crowd couldn't even start a truck, much less drive it was never mentioned in the government paid media. THe whole charade could have been ended in a few days if turdOWE had not gone into hiding. The truckers have far more support in the West than in OntariOWE. ANother fact the government owned media neglects to mention.
OK, "we hates them forever, preciousss!" is the way you wanna go, you'd be quite surprised how little effect that has on my life.
If you're referring to the theory of communism, then yes you are correct.
But so socialism bad, Russia good just doesn't have the same ring to it.
They have huge support in Ontario as well , look at the amount of People tallying in Ottawa while the convoy was there .
Don’t know anything about it . Don’t care who is Donetsk any way never heard of him .
If only this was so blatantly obvious that Canadians as a nation could see this coming in advance so they could see it for what it is…..
OTTAWA — A Parliamentary committee meant to study the Trudeau government’s unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act is stalled as Conservative and Liberals can’t decide who should be on it.
Under the Emergencies Act, a Parliamentary committee, made up of both MPs and Senators, has to be set up to study the government’s use of the legislation. The government will also have to convene an inquiry to dig deeper into the invocation of the act.
Both the committee and the inquiry are likely to call the prime minister and cabinet ministers to testify about their decision to use the act.
With no agreement so far on the committee’s membership, Liberal House leader Mark Holland has said he will bring a motion to the House of Commons this week calling for a committee with 11 members — seven MPs and four senators.
The Liberals would have three MPs, the Conservatives two, and there would be one Bloc Québécois and one NDP MP, along with four Senators from each of the current groups in the Senate. Holland Specifically does not want a Conservative as one of the co-chairs of the committee.
“The chair would be neither a Liberal, whose government invoked the Emergencies Act, or a Conservative, whose party led the way in supporting protesters,” Holland argued in a statement.
Both the Conservatives and the Bloc voted against the government’s invocation of the act, but it passed through the House of Commons with NDP support. The act was debated in the Senate but Trudeau Pre-emoted a vote by revoking the act. Hmm…so if the committee is arranged as the Liberals want, then it’s outcome would be determined before it even convened.
Holland said the Conservatives are pushing for a committee where they would call all the shots?
“We are working hard to establish an important committee to represent hundreds of MPs and senators from several parties and groups. Yet the Conservatives insist that they alone should lead this committee.”

The government will also have to convene an inquiry to dig deeper into the invocation of the act
The Emergencies Act itself says only that the committee should have at least one member from each recognized party and one Senator from each of those parties as well. The Senate has largely abandoned party affiliations with only the Conservatives keeping a party status.
Conservative House leader John Brassard said the government’s plan is absurd and would stack the deck in the Liberals’ favour. He said the Conservatives offered a different, more balanced structure, but after being rejected by the Liberals, they’re proposing a basic five-member committee, with one MP from each party and a Conservative Senator.
“Because of the absurdity of what the government is trying to implement in terms of this committee structure, we’re going to the default position,” he said.
“The purpose of the committee is to look at the invocation of the act to figure out whether it was necessary, what information the government had that necessitated this, so oversight is critical,” he said. “If the government can justify its actions and the invocation of the act … and they can hold up to that type of scrutiny, then they should have nothing to hide.”
Brassard said the fact that the Conservatives are the only party to still have official recognition in the Senate is not his party’s problem?
“The prime minister decided to change the composition and structure of the Senate without actually amending the Emergencies Act to reflect the current structure.”
The Liberals have announced plans to update the legislation that governs the Senate to reflect its new non-partisan nature, BUT their last attempt didn’t clear the legislative process before Trudeau launched last year’s election.
