What's the #holdtheline talk? Every conservative source I follow has been saying it's time to leave. Canada's biggest "alt-right derp" Jordan Peterson even posted a video to social media telling the truckers it might be time to go.
Note how "every conservative source" saying it is time to leave accomplished nothing. The protesters didn't give two shits about what your beloved Jordan Peterson said. They were still chanting hold the line. They were never going to leave by persuasion. They were only going to leave by force. Hence the importance of the Emergencies Act.

But this part makes little sense. I guess you're trying to say the CBC is partisan, which could be true, but what of it? Who doesn't know what they're talking about, and about what? What are the actual facts?

That seems wild to me. Even if you support using those measures against these protesters, don't you have to be concerned about them being used by a future government you don't agree with?
The first question is, were people involved in a criminal conspiracy? I personally have no doubt that there were (I mean, they live streamed it ffs), and if that proves to be true, then all funds relating to that conspiracy are evidence of crimes and subject to forfeiture under Canadian law.

Conspiracy is furthermore a fairly serious crime, and carries some pretty stiff penalties, including both prison time and monetary penalties. And I would expect our police agencies here to investigate and prosecute those to the fullest extent of the law.

This is actually false. The GG is the Head of State, not the Queen. However, the GG has no actual power and there is no function in law that would allow her to remove an elected government without a no confidence vote in the House.

I mean, this is a democratic nation founded on the rule of law. It's not like a Queen or a GG can just issue a royal decree or some ****.

Most of the money 55% is coming from the USA

We have no polls on using the emergency act but I would say that is very split. Our ACLU says the government overstepped its boundaries as have legal experts. Most of the borders were cleared with out the emergency act . I think the only one here in the LOL Canada thread that supports the Emergency Act is Uke. I am not sure if Monteroy supports the use of the act

Monteroy does make a good point about almost a guarantee that the funds would face fraud. Just look at the funds in the USA for BLM and Occupy Seattle both of those experienced fraud

https://www.wsj.com/articles/justin-...st-11645223027


Imagine if Trump had called in the military for Seattle Occupation and froze all the bank accounts of everyone participating and seized their vehicles.


Also note that if your watching US news on this neither Fox or CNN are giving you an honest portrayal of whats going on.

Many would question some of our media as well especially as some are fully funded by the government and many partially subsidized.
Again, it's important to remember that Canada is a nation of laws. Some laws are simple, others are more complex. One such complicated legal situation is how and when the federal government can become involved in a police action in a city or province that already has their own police forces. So if the Emergencies Act was required to get the job done, then so be it as far as I'm concerned.

And I would point out that it's hardly a tyrannical act when they presented the position for invoking it in the people's Parliament and our elected representatives are voting on it today. If it fails to pass then it will be struck down. Again, the right likes to point Trudeau as some kind of dictator, but he holds office only through a narrow coalition with the NDP and they could pull their support at any time.

Bottom line, the right wing created this entire 'crisis' out of whole cloth. They founded it, funded it, and organized the entire protest effort. And all of it is, of course, bullshit. The mandates the truckers are so outraged over only apply to a small percentage of them, and furthermore will be lifted in probably a matter of weeks at best. They then criticize the PM for failing to 'handle' an illegal encampment in a city and province he has only limited police powers on, all while doing everything in their power to garner more legitimacy to the protest and foment more dissent, all while criticizing the media for accurately reporting on the entire thing. The whole thing is just such a travesty I hope every single name of who made it happen comes out and they get everything that's coming to them.

Lol you hash tagged "hold the line" to imply it was a huge trending movement on Twitter that everyone that supported the convoy or protests was saying "hold the line", when it was just a handful of people at the protests.

LOL, I'm pretty sure you're the only one who managed to infer this from his post. Who else but protestors there on the scene could "all the clips of the #holdtheline folks really really not holding the line." possibly apply to? Commentators and supporters aren't able to actually hold the line, and there won't be any clips of them, because they aren't there. That post can only apply to the actual protestors. Your confusion is somewhat understandable, as hashtags sometimes become big trends, but other times they're simply something a small number of people try to make a trend. But putting your confusion on uke is pretty silly.

I was surprised to learn that she actually does have that power, but there's no way what has transpired these last few weeks is even remotely close to meeting the level required to use it:

Simply put, the governor general is to be the final arbiter to ensure Canada has a stable and functioning Parliament, a requirement that could — in the extreme case — provoke her to dismiss a prime minister who may be trying to cling to power unconstitutionally or acting above the law.

Denying Bail now . How is she to get home? You froze all her accounts including credit cards, She can not get on a bus or plane as she is not vaccinated.

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canad...?ocid=msedgntp


I know one Conservative has made the claim that some lady had her accounts frozen as she donated $100 and if I am a betting man I would say it may not be true. Though why would the deputy prime minister seem to be wishhy washy on this?

JT has no problem denouncing the truckers but seems to be silent on Eco Terrorists

Well she got to ottawa by flying on a private jet. Glad she has been denied bail, her actions this past month are quite consistent with someone who will keep fighting their deluded fight until the very end.

The RCMP has explicitly said they have not referred to the banks anyone to a bank based on being a donor. This is going to be one of those hydra type things where every time someone's credit card is frozen (mine literally got frozen for a couple days last month for some bizarre security flag thing) that happens to be a donor we are going to get a conservative MP tweeting about it. Ignore those people.

Yeah and if someone or corporation pays to get her home they may have all their assets seized. No ones going to risk that. She should be released on bail and if she does something again than arrest her again .

RCMP I want to hear the minister say

On Twitter. Like myself and many we do not have twitter How about when he is doing a press conference about another protest?

Maybe she should have thought about that before spending a month engaging in clearly illegal behaviour? Bail doesn't work like second chances. It is whether the judge assesses the suspect is likely to reoffend. As the judge said, they could not be convinced she would not reoffend. That is the standard in our judicial system. And I think the judge is right. Just outside of ottawa a huge convoy of truckers are reassembled just waiting for the emergencies order to lifted. I think it is probable she continues to say the types of illegal things she has been saying all along.

I love this. In both cases the information is clearly out there by the government, but you pivot instead to equivocating about who is saying it or on what media platform they are saying it. Ffs man, you ****ed up and falsely characterized Trudeau as being silent on something he strongly condemned. Be a man, admit you made a mistake, and don't play this "omg twitter that doesn't count" bullshit.

Be a man are you trying to imply a woman is not able to stand up for themselves or admit they are wrong? From the guy who jumps over anybody that slightly uses a wrong pro noun

No he should condemn it when he is on National TV and in the House Of Commons not just on Twitter

The man is a hypocrite that did nothing when Indigenous people blocked a railway and will do nothing if they do it again. Everytime he speaks the pussy lies

Reality is the folks in Quebec will take the Bloc over Justine as well

It is 'pronoun'. One word. Thankfully, our bail system isn't the same thing as a forum. The judge considers the evidence and let's someone away on bail if they believe they are unlikely to reoffend. In this case, the judge considered the evidence and did not reach that conclusion. On its face, that decision seems quite reasonable given her actions thus far.
