Kettling, rubber bullets, battoning and worst of all - spooning.

For people who want to complain about a world where free speech and the right to protest was compromised, here is the perfect case example.




Meanwhile, people are partying in Ottawa right now.

Canadians' rights have invariably improved under Trudeau.

What a chump you are. Go back farther to the 1997 G20 protest in BC when Chretien was PM. Oh, can't do that, don't wanna fuck up your bullshit narrative, right?
You're a typical shit pump troll. When Conservatives do something it's "evil" but when the Liberals do the exact same shit you justify it. Seriously just fuck right off. You're not fooling anyone in here but yourself.

Ahh that was definitely money well spent by Harper.

$16.5M settlement reached in class action lawsuit over mass arrests at 2010 G20 summit

NOPE. Unlike so many that want to destroy this country I was born in BC. About 40 miles as the crow flies, or 4 hrs by road and ferry from where I live now.

Well then especially living in BC, you should be aware of the political landscape of this country.

I'm sure you're familiar with why Liberals are referred to as the natural governing party.

Not the same at all - the G20 in Toronto started peacefully and then ended up as a riot, 1,000 arrested. Might try "google" to look it up ok?

Was it a fringe minority threatening to shut down the economy and democracy of Canada following 2 years of economical lockdowns?

Doesn't Trudie want the same result when he says to shut the protest down by any means possible? When asked about military intervention he said he is not there yet but all options are on the table. Wasn't the swat team that was dispersed to Windsor military trained? That would be the last step before full military intervention no?
