Who said this:

Let me remind you, Canada will always be there to defend the rights of peaceful protesters. We believe in the process of dialogue.

Probably trudeau a week ago. Except he just invoked the emergency act, the succesor to the War Measures Act to quell protests.

He said it in December 2020 in support of farmers in India protesting against the Modi government's new anti farmer laws that had inspired widespread protests by Indian farmers.

Its pretty much the same thing but the farmers were protesting over a different cause. And they used tractors instead of trucks.

Funnily enough his dad used the War Act too. Justin's just like Dubya, copying daddy.

At what point does the 100's of millions being lost enter the equation.

There is a big difference between a protest and an economic embargo that has gone on for weeks.

Or do they get to do what they want forever?

The farmers protest went on for two or three years and cost $15 billion US.

BLM protests in the US equated to approximately $2 billion US dollars and went on for half a year.

Hey Lomas is there a reason you picked that user name?

Asking the question, and at $360 million/day (US) in blocked trade, the government has obviously had enough of the Freedom Brigade.

It was a family nickname as a kid, although no one has used it for over 20 years that I can remember.

RIP Canada

Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland: "as of today, a bank or other financial service provider will be able to immediately freeze or suspend an account without a court order."

Also, they are extending their anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules to include crowdfunding platforms and cryptocurrencies.

Tyrannical government

Yeah that’s shocking. The protests have been mostly peaceful too haven’t they?

Well her grandad ran a propaganda rag for Nazis during ww2 and she went hard at the Soviets as a kid. She's famous for it.


Its hard to tell with politicians, they're probably only in it for the money, but she's also had a history of promoting human rights and standing up against tyranny this century so its sad to see her taking that path.

What her grandfather did is irrelevant imo.

To a point.

He was a Ukrainian during ww2 so its kind of relevant right now, but not really for the trucker thing.

Its pretty bad in itself. I'm not in favour of vaccine mandates but these guys in Ottowa are tilting against windmills. Most truckers have the vaccine because they want to run their businesses or do their jobs. They might not like it but its just how things are.

If the government freezes peoples finances because they support them tho...

Its a bad precedent these governments are setting and its easy to say "**** the freedum campaigners, where were they when [insert cause here]". Which I kind of agree with. But just because you don't like someone's protest doesn't mean you shouldn't allow them the right to do it. You never know when you will want that right for yourself.

I've been involved in protests that sent companies broke and stopped their infrastructure in its tracks. Its now terrorism to do that.

Agree with your point about what they’re doing to the protesters.

Just not that because her grandfather was something means she’s in some way responsible for that. Interesting that he was Ukrainian though, it’s not surprising at all that he was pro nazi because most Ukrainians were because the Nazis fought Russia and that was in living memory of the holodomor genocide. A lot of Ukrainians would’ve sided with Satan himself if he was fighting Russia.

Yeah, but if you're gonna freeze people's bank accounts for supporting a protest you are opening yourself up to anything.

If you see her history before she got into Canadian politics its clear she was influenced by her family history. She went to the Soviet Union and studied Ukrainian, then ended up hassled by the KGB. She was in that part of the world alot during the 90s as well, and I first heard of her when someone called her a hypocrite after publishing a book about the way gangsters and former spies took control of the USSRs former assets. Their implication was she was part of a Western effort to promote large scale capitalism at the cost of people in the former USSR's financial security.
