When the local and provincial police were actually AIDING and ABETTING the fucking convoy as they terrorized the citizens of Ottawa, I am glad the feds stepped in. The locals decided to be part of the problem, not the solution, fuck them.
The courts now siding with the terrorists is not a huge surprise either.
Totally unhinged response. Trudeau had many chances to solve this issue but ignored them. No blaming him?
I only blame the middle-class goons with truck money who seemed to be whining about their personal discomfort by goose-stepping all over a Canadian community because of...their discomfort. Empty lives pretending to take action over the ephemeral. My guess is no money left for hobbies after spending all that truck money.
Right? Lockdown sucked a bit because it was harder to play physical boardgames, but my other hobbies were unaffected and I had the bonus if less traffic and fewer people in grocery stores, not to mention the occasional lineup where I'd have time to mentally transition.
By resigning and putting them in power?
take off man.
He didn't resign at that point, he instead left the country and wouldn't even address the protesters.
That is literally what they were demanding.
I still thinks Justin's response could have been better than ignore the issue and leave the country. Addressing the protesters doesn't mean giving them exactly what they want. By not even meeting with them, Justin strengthened their movement IMO.
You do realize there were legitimate threats against his life. Not just from within Canada, but from US political representatives, and folk like Jack posobiec (the guy that invented pizzagate)
The seeds of the idea of invading Canada were planted in prime time by tucker carleson and calls to liberate Canada.
Elon musk played a hand - going so far as to offer operational advise and financial support.
The whole thing was set up as a no win situation.
It was propaganda and psyops.
And making people believe Trudeau was a tyrant while calling for the overthrow of the gov and hanging people for treason was such a simple thing to accomplish.
The convoy was started under the code name operation bear hug.
It had a code name.
It was not organic.
It was aligned with j6.
It was never about freedom. Just like the free speech absolutists cries were never about free speech.
It will see fulfilment when we are invaded by ~~russia~~ the ussa.
