:respect: to Ottawa police for being patient.

In other Canadian News: The Conservative Party recently dumped its second Leader in a row; the reason for both was losing the recent general Election.

Thing is, under the last guy, Erin O'Toole, the Party actually beat the vote count for the winning Liberals under Justin by a couple of percentage points. Something a bit less than the percentage Hillary beat Trump by, but still unmistakable evidence of who the people really wanted.

And no one's calling any of it "rigged" or "stolen".

Respect to Canadian border police for winning a pillow fight!

From the clips I've seen of the reasons why the Canadian Govt. have brought in these emergency powers (which are supposed to last for a very short time, but how long that will be is anyone's guess) Trudeau accuses the truckers of almost every crime in the book apart from paedophilia.

You have to wonder:

Why accuse them of such a wide array of crimes?

Is it true that the general Canadian press are not able to watch what the truckers and cops do, and if not, why not?

Is it true that only CBS are allowed to watch and report on the truckers and cops, and if so, why?

If the truckers are doing all these crimes, why are there no clips of them on the web?

don't know...maybe they are not a tabloid country....given to hyperbole....their laws about assembly/protest may be different...perhaps the truckers were more careful with socal media than the traitors on January 6, 2001 were.

Canada has less total population in the country than all of California. That's a lot of land mass to control with the population all spread out. Hence, the high number of domestic and foreign terrorist cells, as well as criminal syndicates, operating in the country. Enforcement, security, and military resources are stretched and limited. And it is still like the Wild West in North America. The protest in major metropolitan centers, as well as on major transport routes and the border, could easily cause economic jeopardy to teeter on the brink. And the financial injection to fund the protests are mainly coming from foreign interests especially the USA. Most of that funding is right leaning and it is in their best interest to destabilize Canada economically. Overthrow of the government has a greater possibility in Canada than the USA. Look at it's history with national political crisis and upheaval.

She wanted the US to invade and "liberate" Australia a few months ago.
I'm still waiting...
