The real point we all missed, is Justin okay?

Did the words no one had the chance to yell hurt him?

I don't see the Mounties claiming there were sticks or stones. Were there sticks and stones?
A couple of trucks with the black f Trudeau flags drove by . Truckers sent him into hiding again .

“We are now two weeks into the siege of Ottawa,” Ford said. “It’s an illegal occupation. It’s no longer a protest.”

Is the “Illegal convoy” the Illegal occupation? Is that the connection you’re trying to make in a “Do your research Bro” sort’a way? Seriously?

You mean the guy you've routinely called Doug Fraud is now suddenly your go to expert in Constitutional law? Fascinating.

Wilson also clarified that the Freedom Convoy protest was not illegal at any point, even though Prime Minister Trudeau-Singh called it illegal, and big media went along with it….

In fact, an Ontario superior court judge sided with the convoy. When an injunction against honking horns was declared, the court also stated that “provided the terms of this Order are complied with, the defendants and other persons remain at liberty to engage in a peaceful, lawful and safe protest.”

Reality on the ground was often not being reported. While Ottawa police often announced they had made a number of arrests during the Freedom Convoy protests, they never mentioned that many incidents were called in by truckers after people slit their tires or cut gas lines, Wilson said. Police also negotiated with truckers as to which streets they would be allowed to block during the protest. When things heated up, the police blocked off Laurier Avenue to prevent east-west traffic flow even though there was not one truck or protest vehicle on that street.

The attorney general’s reason for freezing bank accounts was based on an affidavit by a police officer who based his testimony on what he read in the news, Wilson said, adding that courts don’t rely on third-party hearsay. “It’s that ridiculous. We ran into this problem of circularity all the time, of media saying something, police then saying, well the news is saying it, then the media saying, well the police said it.”

Wilson is already seeing some early confirmation that the truckers and their supporters have been slandered. Barry MacKillop, deputy-director of FINTRAC, the federal organization that goes after terrorism funds and criminal money-laundering, told the Commons finance committee that there was not a shred of illegal activity associated with the trucker convoy.

Said MacKillop: “There were people around the world who were fed up with COVID and were upset and saw the demonstrations. I believe they just wanted to support the cause. It was their own money. It wasn’t money that funded terrorism or was in any way money laundering.”

Wilson said that there was nothing to justify using the Federal Emergencies Act. “This is government writing a blank cheque over your rights and your life… this was a retaliatory measure by an authoritarian petulant child prime minster lashing out.”

You can do better than that.

What's fascinating is that you didn't read the rest of the article and selectively decide which politicians have merit based on your own bias.

I'm not surprised that you have people who buy into it though. It's the same ones who will buy bitcoin to support their retirement lol

"We invoked the act because it was the advice of non-partisan professional law enforcement that existing authorities were ineffective at the time to restore public safety at all of the ports of entry you mentioned," Mendicino said in response to questions from Liberal MP Rachel Bendayan.

"And that assessment was informed by the conversations that we were having with law enforcement, including the Ottawa Police Service and the RCMP and other officials who, in their words, described these events as an 'unprecedented' act of civil disobedience … in the words of the Canadian Association of the Chiefs of Police."



The illegal Ottawa convoy was illegal.

Now, do you have the courage to condemn these people who are committing acts of racism?

Do you have an article written by a mentally functioning adult?

You really have troubles with comprehension and language as a whole.

Which POE was blocked in Ottawa?

Which part of civil in the term "civil disobedience" is so fucking confusing?

I'll say this though, I see exactly what they did. They used Coutts and Ambassador as an excuse then blanketed Ottawa under the other two with the Act.

It's going to backfire.

Ottawa was never illegal.

I always wondered what a "Liberal" Arts degree was.
Actually, the liberal arts are things like English, history, literature, philosophy, art, logic, rhetoric, and suchlike. There are highly-respected colleges in the U.S. that teach the liberal arts. Their curriculum is the Hundred Great Books of the Western World.

Once upon a time, it was thought that this produced citizens capable of studying and analyzing problems and proposals, and exercising sound judgment in their decisions.

This, of course, was before we discovered that doing your own research on YouTube is actually the path to Da Troof.

Which Port or Point of Entry in Ottawa was illegally compromised? Coutts? Ambassador Bridge?

It's interesting that you are incapable of actually commenting on the thread topic of this fundraiser.

Why are you so afraid to talk about it?

Trying to change the subject? Why? Let's finish what you started in regards to your crazy claims of illegality of Ottawa protests.

Which Port in Ottawa was compromised by protesters?
