Speaking with reporters at the end of his visit to the capital Kiyv, Justin Trudeau accused Putin of “executing” opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
The statement kinda loses it’s impact once you realize it’s coming from a leader who illegally broke up a protest against himself and his government
Are you talking about those antivax pieces of garbage who harassed homeless people and local businesses because another country wouldn’t let them across their border?
It’s never okay for a government to freeze it’s citizens bank accounts. Let alone for political reasons, that’s fascist as fuck.
I think people with swastikas on their flags are usually considered fascist.
Maybe look into the paradox of tolerance.
Make a fine for people who support nazi ideals. Don’t stop people from being able to pay for food with money they already earned.
Do you think it’s wrong to freeze the bank accounts of members of al Qaeda?
What’s the distinction between a member of al Qaeda and a Nazi? Both are foreign groups that use violence to get their way. Both groups are considered enemies of Canada.
Should members of al Qaeda be allowed to do as they please in Canada because “they just have different ideals?”
Strawman detected. Citizens protesting is not the same thing as foreign terrorists doing whatever.
Peaceful protest it was not.
According to the courts it did not meet the standard of violence required.
So you agree it was violent and not peaceful? Lol whoops.
In a world where some consider mean words and minor action as violent, yes it was.
Lol means words and “minor action” it was not. Well we can see you for what you are, trying to downplay reality. Cheers.
No, according to the courts (one court), an emergency in one city does not meet the requirements for the Federal emergencies act, and didn’t take into account the negligence of the multiple layers of regional policing and government who refused to act.
Did you bother reading the ruling? The refusal of the city / province to act doesn’t equate to the inability of them to control the situation. The court definitely did account for that part.
A city under siege with no police protection is an emergency, full stop.
Lol, I know people that live in the area and they’ve said it wasn’t worse than what happens during major sporting events.
I don’t know who you were talking to but I live in downtown Ottawa and it was absolutely a million times worse than any sporting event. I’m guessing your friends live in the suburbs, where the most they might have seen were some flag waving pickup trucks.
I was harassed the minute I walked out my door, there was literal shit covering the sidewalks, emergency vehicles blocked, businesses vandalised. The city basically shut down for 3-4 weeks. I know people who had to leave their homes to live with their family outside of downtown out of fear. People were physically attacked for wearing masks for fuck sakes.
Ottawa Police did absolutely nothing to stop it and Doug Ford declared a state of emergency but then pretended it wasn’t happening. The only thing that ended it all was the federal emergency act. I don’t like that it needed to be used either but the two lower levels of power completely failed
Doesn’t make it illegal bud. Learn how our system works before opening your COVID riddled mouth.
If it wasn’t illegal then the government wouldn’t have lost the court case.
It’s pretty telling that you don’t say what protest you’re talking about. Is it the stupid truckers?
Which other protests ended with the federal government illegally using the Emergency Act?
It was perfectly legal. And those protestors asked for things like “no vaccine required to enter USA”, Trudeau had nothing to do with that. Those protestors then degenerated into various conspiracy, and basically wanted to remove Trudeau and put a dictator instead. It was almost a coup, not a “protest”.
I LOLed so hard when I heard their demands were the removal of our elected representatives to be replaced with THEMSELVES
@northmaple1984 @sik0fewl your statement kinda loses its impact when you realise he didn’t do what you described.
Courts disagree
