On a slightly different note, and I don't wish to borrow from trouble, but I'm expecting if Trudeau can put these truckers behind bars ... watch their replacements' vaccination statuses not being an issue at all.
Ian Miles Cheong@stillgray ·16m Here come Quebec's infamously ultraviolent police. This could be bad.
Much discussion about this insanity on Twitter... News from Canada. They are threatening to seize dogs belonging to truckers if enforcement action is taken against them. Not only are they banning their bank accounts, they are threatening to take their dogs too. Apparently they will keep dogs for eight days, but owners will be billed. If dogs are not claimed in eight days, they will be 'relinquished '. Pulling out all the stops to provoke the truckers.
How can a democratic country tolerate this kind of lawless tyranny? One that twice elects a man/infant as premier, I suppose.
I emailed every Canadian Senator my concerns and and got this response from one. Hello, Thank you for your message regarding the Government’s recent declaration of a public order emergency under the Emergencies Act (the Act). As you may be aware, this is the first use of the law since its adoption in 1988, replacing the War Measures Act of 1914. The Act authorizes the Government to declare a state of emergency in four different situations: a public welfare emergency, such as a natural disaster; a public order emergency, involving a serious threat to the security of Canada; an international emergency, such as a serious threat or incident of international violence involving Canada; and a war emergency, such as armed conflict involving Canada or its allies. It is also important to remember that the Emergencies Act is designed to constrain the powers of the Government: (i) emergency orders must comply with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (thus proceedings may be initiated before courts to challenge any alleged lack of compliance); and (ii) the declaration and any order made under the Emergencies Act are subject to parliamentary authorization and review. On Monday, February 14, the Prime Minister announced that the Government believes, on reasonable grounds, that a public order emergency exists and necessitates the taking of special temporary measures for dealing with the emergency. As indicated in the declaration, the Government believes that this emergency exists throughout Canada, comprising blockades by persons and motor vehicles, as well as threats to oppose measures to remove the blockades, including with force, directed at achieving a political or ideological objective within Canada. The Government indicated its view that these activities are adversely affecting the Canadian economy, including by blocking trade corridors and international border crossings, imperiling the availability of essential goods and services, and carrying the risk of an increased level of unrest and violence. The Government indicated the special temporary measures that it considers necessary in two regulations released Tuesday, February 15: Emergency Measures Regulations: SOR/2022-21 and Emergency Economic Measures Order: SOR/2022-22. Rest assured that I am carefully reviewing these regulations. Now it is important to understand the following steps. First, the declaration made by the Government must be laid before both Houses of Parliament. Now the declaration needs to be approved by both the House of Commons and the Senate to remain in effect. The debate has commenced in the House of Commons and it will begin in the Senate on Monday afternoon. If one of the Houses does not approve the declaration, it will cease to have effect. Again, rest assured that I take this responsibility extremely seriously and intend to speak to the issue Monday in the Senate. Second, the declaration of a public order emergency, if confirmed, will be valid for a maximum of 30 days since it was issued. Then, if the Government were to consider that the declaration should be renewed, the same process would have to be followed. Once again, along with the House of Commons, the Senate would play a vital role in deciding whether to authorize a continuation of the declaration and in overseeing the situation. Third, at any time the current declaration, if confirmed, can be revoked by a vote of either chamber of Parliament. Fourth, regulations made pursuant to the Emergencies Act must be tabled in both chambers and can be revoked by votes of both chambers acting together. Fifth, a special joint committee of senators and Members of Parliament will be set up to monitor the measures taken by government, including any orders or regulations not made public, and will have to report periodically to both Houses of Parliament. In conclusion, the Act establishes significant judicial and parliamentary safeguards with respect to any application of emergency measures. As a senator, I will fulfill my responsibilities to Canadians at this challenging time. I trust that this information is useful and reassuring to you. Sincerely, Senator Pierre J. Dalphond
I have read that Trudeau described those who consider vaccination should be voluntary as "occupying space". This seems a very disturbing term to describe fellow human beings and citizens. He seems to possess a certain personal animus towards the people against whom he seems, in the context of the collapse of COVID's virulence, to have taken a very disproportionate and unreasonable series of actions.
Padraig is right. Trudeau is a trained puppet for the elite left, which I believe are just plain communists. He may very well be the son of Fidel Castro.
Reminds me of "useless eaters"--the nazi term for undesirables. Trudeau has acted strangely--destructively even. If Canadians weren't awake before they are awake now. But is it too late? He means to go full Hugo Chavez on his countrymen. Chilling.
Ok..this Canadian government is just nuts. This will be a movie someday…I pray it ends well for us….yes us, because these truckers represent anyone who wants freedom. It’s officially now a dictatorship.
Byron, I think that if the truckers continue to remain calm until the official vote on Monday, Trudeau will lose. It seems that he is trying to provoke the truckers by already invoking parts of the Emergencies Act even though it has not been voted on yet like seizing their bank accounts* and having the police look like they are going to lock them up at any minute now. If you read the letter that MMM posted and/or watch the following video, the reason that Trudeau wanted to invoke the Emergencies Act was because the truckers were blocking trade corridors and international border crossings but this is no longer the case. In addition, the opposition party leader states in the video that they will be voting no and as stated in that letter they need both parties to vote yes. So unless I'm missing something or the protesters become violent before the vote on Monday, the truckers should win. *https://tnc.news/2022/02/17/liberal...n-convoy-donor-info-to-banks-accounts-frozen/ I have seen discussions that are questioning whether they can freeze the accounts of non-Canadians who contributed to a crowdfunding site for the truckers and I'm not certain if that is possible or not but I'm leaning toward yes more than no on this because the whole thing is way out of hand imho. Edited to add this related link, I'm not sure if this is true but it's over the top and is an example of how they're going after non-Canadians too. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...source=Gab&utm_campaign=websitesharingbuttons DeGaulle, Trudeau actually lost the popular vote in 2021 and many Canadians believe that the last election was unfair due to Covid-19 restrictions and missing mail-in ballots but I know very little about this, just what I have read or seen recently on it. What a mess but our prayers seem to be working so let's keep it going.+
Agree! But they are trying so hard to provoke a act of violence so they can justify a hard crackdown. Will they manufacture one? I wouldn’t hold it past them. Hope the police harbor sympathy for the truckers to thwart the new dictatorship.
