The confederate flag was definitely a staged event, some fellow was saying that he saw a swastika but it was on a meme showing what Trudeau has become.
I think it was Viva Frei who pointed out that in hindsight, the one and only swastika and the one and only Confederate flag (in Canada????) appeared on the first day, never since.
And apparently the 2 were together and showed up with a 3rd who had a very expensive camera, he looked suspiciously very much like Trudeau's photographer
PS I read the tweet and laughed. What an ignoramus. We need to start saying "All the smart people have left Twitter." And then leave. There are options. I've got a cluster of options I rely on, Substack being among the top 3.
His arrogance likely preceded the trampling of that poor woman by the police horse. Perhaps he might have been less defensive. (That horrible incident, however, might not make the news.)
Makes you wonder what a government would have to do before one could legitimately point out the parallels with Germany in the 1930s. As far as I can tell, Western governments have gone all the way to about 1937 in Germany.
Was able to sneak a peek before Twitter blocked my screen. FYI, per a Toronto Sun reporter (no conservative rag that), the Swastika (never heard of more than one) was found in a section of Ottawa well away from Parliament Hill.
Yes, that was my interpretation, and one protester explained his flag that way, although it was a poor call because of how easily it could be misinterpreted.
I had not seen a protester with a swastika superimposed on the Canadian flag. It was a poor choice. We the "minority" must be perfect in our communications, where the "woke" can say or do any damn thing and it's OK.
I saw the reporter speaking to a Fox reporter on the scene in Ottawa early this week. I do not know which daytime show or even if it was the news or business channel. The Sun reporter basically called the swastika and Confederate flag attacks false flags, said he saw nothing but peaceful folks standing for freedom. Sorry no link.
There was a Canadian news service (not Rebel News) trying to locate the guy. He and two or three others kept moving around. Rebel news might have the link though?
Margaret Anna Alice. Keep speaking. Your gentle forthrightness is appreciated. I was so sad to see the twitter reply to your comment. As we say to the truckers, hold the line. Thank you.
Thank you, Laura! It is heartbreaking to witness what they are doing to the truckers and peaceful protesters 😿 Amazing that others cannot see that they are now living in a fascist dictatorship.
In Tom Marazzo's press conference (link above) he said that Trudeau is doing this because he wants to be seen as a tough guy, no other reason. A truer statement was never made, Trudeau is all about optics.
Tom predicted that the Monday evening vote for/against the Emergencies Act would fall. We shall see.
It's completely outside the law. No laws are being broken. The Emergencies Act hasn't been passed and Parliament was closed today. Assuming T-boy is back in hiding, too afraid to face the people he supposedly loves. Hah!
LMAO. There has been no despotism except from Trudeaup who's been operating outside the law for two years. And likely before that. Some of his financial scandals were just starting to come to light prior to this and lawyers were preparing cases against him - that started almost two years ago.
None of his actions or the actions of any of the provinces were ever based on science. None had cost-benefit analyses, gender based analyses (law in Canada prior to passing laws, exit strategies (all emergency declarations must have exit strategies and end dates) and none were ever passed into law.
The truck protest had these goals: end mandates, end vaccine passports, have the Supreme Court examine the events of the last 2 covid years with respect to the Canadian charter of rights. That's all I've ever heard said. If you've heard otherwise or seen otherwise, please provide links.
No. Trudeau was wise, he allowed the mayor of Ottawa (I think I’m right about this but someone fact check me seriously) to request backup police instead of doing it himself. It’s like Pilate washing his hands and saying he didn’t have anything to do with it.
In fairness not all of them. Remember that in Ottawa 2 police chiefs resigned in 2 days. It's the 3rd guy who is in charge now. And the chief of Peterborough, a nearby city, retired early about 1 week before. General thought is they couldn't stomach what was being asked/demanded of them.
From what I saw of an interview with the head of Ottawa police services, there is a lot of serious ill will within the Ottawa city bureaucracy.
video on twitter: rcmp horsemen on blindered horses riding down people. the horses untrained and the riders used forward momentum/mass when side steeping is less injuring and more effective!
it happened here it would be loose the dogs of war!
'Bout as weird as the same people who say "My body my choice" re abortions yet "Your Body My Choice" re experimental medical procedures/face suffocators... Consistency--the hobgoblin of foolish minds, right?
Sure. And of course the opposite is true as well. Meaning you can't argue my body my choice when it comes to vaccines, and your body my choice when it comes to abortions. Me thinks there is some hypocrisy when it comes to that on the no vax side, just sayin'.
Abortion kills a forming life inside a woman. Those of us on the pro life and pro vaccine choice side are both about life and health. If abortion were simply a woman harming herself, I would still say it’s wrong. But it is her choice. But it isn’t only about herself. It’s about a child.
I in fact did not make that assumption. Was just reminding of the opposite argument, as I've noticed some who state your original point feel the same as, for example, Laura J.
Bravo Company Manufacturing, a vet-owned company that makes outstanding AR style rifles refuses to sell their products to law enforcement in jurisdictions that prohibit civilians from owning such weapons. Keep that in mind when shopping...
Yeah, that is not a good look. Plus the truck with the turret? What, do they intend on spraying them with bullets? Your own peaceful people for having the temerity of creating traffic and beeping. Lord.
Grey Beard: Hope your mama isn't alive to see what her baby is up to.
That is what it LOOKS like. I believe they are waiting for a response from the police (who said they had to check what they could say to the public). So. Maybe we will know?
This is why I really have a problem with all of the “back the blue” stuff. There are good LEO and good military but history has shown us that when it comes time to round us up and load us into the boxcars these people will do just that.
Stanford prison experiment. The Third Wave experiment from the late ‘60’s. These are examples of how easily it is to control and manipulate people. Once engaged they will not stop the cosplay, even if it ends up with people in gulags, bauxite mines or organic gas chambers.
It’s going to happen. And when tyranny arrives it stays. You can’t vote your way out of it. History is quite clear on that point.
Ottawa? The big black vehicle there, an "MRAP," with the revolving turret on top--do I see a sniper rifle in the slot of that turret? Or is it a full-auto machine gun?
Commandos with ballistic helmets, fitted out with radio gear earmuffs--yet, the helmet shrouds are empty of thermal or night vision equipment. (Easily clipped on later.)
Looks like this crew is wearing body amour, probably the Level 4 stuff.
Rifles are either AR15s or full-auto M16s and the mags are topped off with real ammo. Could be "private contractors" hired under this "War Powers Act," not subject to military orders.....
Who gave the order to roll out this lethal cocktail?
This is the result of constantly feeding the Military industrial complex and supporting pointless foreign wars. The military always "needs" newer more high powered WMD, and then garage sale or donate the old stuff to your local police who can't wait to play GI Joe as they murder the people they are sworn to protect for violating some made up infraction of the day.
How dare you splash me with that warm water from your hot tub! How dare you*not* burn and loot and murder people in the name of racism and so-called "equality" the way that the "acceptable" people do How dare you let your children have fun and feel free and happy. How dare you clean the streets and feed the hungry. How dare you!! So now we're bringing out the big guns. Heaven help us all.
Well, they only say "like that" so they don't look like the gun grabbers they really are. Their true intention is that they have all the guns and the folks they're lording over have nothing but their limp dicks.
Currently all of the police know they are acting outside the law. Actual arrests aren't taking place. Some people are being 'detained', cuffed, and brought out in vans to outside the city and dropped off, then taking rideshares back into the city. https://youtu.be/Lrl5ZvZSHIg
Well, this is the thing. You start with demonizing the whole concept of dissent as essential to intellectual discourse. First it's merely impolite and annoying. Before you know it, it's a danger to our actual health! Selfish, selfish people who keep talking about their "freedom!"
I had a funny experience a couple of years ago that may seem irrelevant but I don't think it is, in terms of how even normal, moderate dissent is made to seem crass and disgraceful. I joined a local municipal govt. and pretty innocuous advisory committee, and when it came time for the annual vote on leadership (and there were less than a dozen members), I abstained, because I felt it was merely a pro forma vote and thought the chair and vice chair should at least have each made a presentation of their goals going forward and why they ought to be re-elected. And I made clear I had no personal animus. I just wanted 'em to sing for their supper, so to speak.
I was treated like something a really bad cat had dragged in from the alleyway which was stinking up the parlor. They were deeply, deeply affronted and the city employee liaison to the advisory committee (only paid participant) told me it was "strongly disadvised" to abstain. I did anyway, of course. But my entire service was essentially the peasant rebellion against the gentry.
FYI I'm one of only two members of the general populace who has written, in letters to the editor of our regional newspaper, why the vax is a bad idea and that we decline to get it. In a population of around 15,000 where the paper attracts many, many letters.
In the post-Truth New World Order dissent is only allowed for approved groups like BLM, Antifa, Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace staging protests or riots in order to feed the current narrative the Overlords are pushing. They even have police deliver pallets of bricks to the site of the protest. And police escort busloads of Antifa to protests.
I caused bit of a situation at my sailing club 20 years ago when I requested the meeting continue "in camera." This excluded the (fairly harmful) paid manager who left in a snit.
Robert's Rules can be fun and useful.
You can also request a recorded vote, which can smoke out the snivellers.
Oh, there were no worries about that. Meeting minutes were transcribed and recorded; my voice lives on in deathless glory. But I simultaneously had many, many letters to the editor published on every local and national issue that interested me, and since I wrote as a member of the citizenry and not identified with the advisory committee, they were helpless to stop me. Made 'em nuts. I didn't seek reappointment after my term ended since I realized I had far greater reach in the community with them damn letters. I enrage legions...
There's a reason for the Second Amendment: "Constant apprehension of war, has the same tendency to render the head too large for the body. A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence agst. foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people." https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_629.asp
As if we who have been watching closely and listening to learned voices did not see this coming. Which is the more egregious aspect here: that our governments are shutting down those freedoms that all of humanity are born with, or that our police/military personnel are willingly enforcing such unprecedented edicts? Aren't these people also fellow citizens?
For the mind that asks the question of "why would you need a gun like that", there is only one answer, You only "need" 2000 calories per day, a change of clothing, basic shelter, warmth in the winter with clean fresh water, bathtub and toilet as a bonus. Everything else is a lifestyle choice. If we are letting the state decide, on behalf of the questioner, what lifestyle choices we are allowed, we are in a Gulag. Only Trudeau could make downtown Ottawa look like the Russia-Ukraine frontier.
In Ottawa mounted police slammed into peaceful demonstrators and broke into vehicles. They are heavily armed against unarmed people.. In Saskatchewan the RCMP did substantial damage to private excavators parked on private property. Meanwhile in BC green protestors attacked a pipeline and did a large amount of damage.
Pay attention! They are not "terrorists", they are fighters against the next "Emergency", the "Climate Crisis," promoted by a WEF near you.
This has been an interesting situation, funded by American energy interests for some time to maintain access to Canadian hydrocarbons below world price. Some of the original NAFTA arrangements explicitly involved a "continental energy policy."
The proles will never have the firepower of the government; but to fight as a patriot and die a martyr will encourage and embolden the next generation.
In this war, the side that stands for individual liberties is allowing themselves to lose. How? Please read...
It is inconceivable to me how my side on the right allows their enemies on the left to set the context of the argument. The left makes an accusation, the right plaintively squeaks 'not true', then the left unleashes force as punishment for the supposed violation. This is repeated over and over. It is done incrementally, in stages, in steps. All the while, the right just hangs around protesting their innocence, complaining about hypocrisy, and waiting for the next shoe to drop. This is completely the left's context, and the right just meekly lets it happen.
Instead, the right must seize the offense. The right must make claims about a leftist violation, supported by legal and moral evidence. The right must demand that the left stop the violation. The right must publicly proclaim a line in the sand, and warn the left that any further encroachment is considered incitement and therefore valid excuse to enact a measured physical response. And when the left inevitably doubles down, the right delivers as promised, no exceptions.
Do you see the difference? In this way, the right sets the context. In this way, the left is on the defensive. In this way, the right no longer keeps getting pushed back step by step, but instead starts moving forward, and starts winning. But what it requires of the right is moral clarity and moral courage.
So far, the right has been duped into playing the left's game. That game says the right must adhere to pure, emasculated, passive non-violence in order to remain true to a fake moral ideal that was cleverly, surreptitiously handed to them by the left. It's a game of heads the left wins, tails the right loses. And in case you haven't noticed, the right is losing badly, continuously, to the point where it's almost game over. Damn it everybody, wake up, understand what's being done to you, and seize the damn initiative.
If you can get to England, we are living free lives here (always with the caveat 'for now'), looking on in horror at Canada, Blue State America, our neighbours on the continent (Thank God we left the EU). But how are you going to get here - your own personal long-distance kayak?
I've heard it said more than a few times in the last few days and I've seen it with my own eyes: the Ottawa truck freedom convoy protests were peaceful until the police came.
This evening I watched a press conference given by Tom Marazzo, one of the speakers for the freedom convoy. A reporter asked him why he was so surprised at police tactics (as shown in the above picture) when that's the way police typically respond to a large protest. Tom answered the question as best he could, you can see the exchange at the link below but I wanted to emphasize: this was a completely peaceful protest. There was absolutely no violence, no property damage, nothing. This was not your typical large protest. Even in Canada where we're all supposed to be so nice, past protests were not so nice by any stretch. The police came in like brutes, at least the ones the politicians managed to scrounge together from the bottom of the barrel.
When smearing failed, fascist false flags (literally), then freezing bank accounts failed, the curtain is pulled back to reveal the true authoritarian state. I don’t recall anyone mentioning COVID in relation to the situation in Canada for a while if anyone needs any further illustration.
When are the police and the Federal & Provincial Gov't going to obey the law requiring an investigation into any death of unnatural causes? We know for a fact that this virus is bioengineered, even with some Canadian help. If it was released accidentally, then each death of Covid is at least manslaughter and needs to be investigated as such. In fact the virus was deliberately released so each Covid death is murder one and the police are guilty of dereliction of duty for not investigating it and prosecuting the guilty.
When we look ever closer at 'our' socetal constructs, we notice, sooner than later, contradictions and anomalies abound. It is said that Public Health moves at the speed of trust (Rishi Manchanda). Clearly Gov trust in the community, and now vice a versa, is at a low. For great insight into this and more, i suggest you watch this podcast via Jordan Peterson, featuring Dr Norman Doidge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfEkp_TFvY0
The outrage at turned to acceptance of police brutality is another on the long list of disgraceful hypocrisies ... In the name of diversity and empathy, police brutality only matters with some people, and there can only be one correct way of thinking ...

The confederate flag was definitely a staged event, some fellow was saying that he saw a swastika but it was on a meme showing what Trudeau has become.
I think it was Viva Frei who pointed out that in hindsight, the one and only swastika and the one and only Confederate flag (in Canada????) appeared on the first day, never since.
And apparently the 2 were together and showed up with a 3rd who had a very expensive camera, he looked suspiciously very much like Trudeau's photographer
I'm glad I'm not imagining it. Thank you :-)

It’s also possible the swastika on the Canadian flag signified Canada’s descent into Naziism.

If this is Canada there is absolutely no acceptable reason for this display of force.
it is miss eileen.
apparently mr justin said there was some kind of emergency!

despotic?
coups?
Yep, you mean the Liberal coup aided and abetted by the NPD?
What kind of despotic coups are you referring to?
The truck protest had these goals: end mandates, end vaccine passports, have the Supreme Court examine the events of the last 2 covid years with respect to the Canadian charter of rights. That's all I've ever heard said. If you've heard otherwise or seen otherwise, please provide links.
Who are these Stasi? Did they call in their military?
All this so Trudeau can maintain his despotic illusion of power and filthy lucre from Pfizer.
No. Trudeau was wise, he allowed the mayor of Ottawa (I think I’m right about this but someone fact check me seriously) to request backup police instead of doing it himself. It’s like Pilate washing his hands and saying he didn’t have anything to do with it.
Trudeau and 'wise' are light years apart. If he had any inkling of 'wise', the protest would have been over before the trucks got to Ottawa.
Perhaps what you meant was that his handlers are ruthless and politically adept.
Probably mercs
Many from Quebec. Not legal for one province to call on another province's cops when the Emergency Act hasn't been passed yet.
Government has nothing BUT force.
And parasites.
You really need to get out more. https://i.imgflip.com/3c1aw2.jpg
I wonder if the police understand that the same people they are pushing around today were the few who supported them in 2020.
It’s a good point but they mostly don’t care. They have their role to play. Modern day Stanford prison experiment.
That's the thing. About 30% of those guys are just itching to do state sanctioned violence aganist anyone.
Yeah, sad. Seen it a lot here in Oz
Cops are the D students of life. They know not what they do.
In fairness not all of them. Remember that in Ottawa 2 police chiefs resigned in 2 days. It's the 3rd guy who is in charge now. And the chief of Peterborough, a nearby city, retired early about 1 week before. General thought is they couldn't stomach what was being asked/demanded of them.
From what I saw of an interview with the head of Ottawa police services, there is a lot of serious ill will within the Ottawa city bureaucracy.
All due respect to you. If the cops were the people we thought they were, they wouldn’t be doing the things they’re doing en masse in Ontario.
'only following orders/doing myjob'....
It's a real life Milgram experiment.
'I have no personal responsibility at all because I was following orders.'

Well, they only say "like that" so they don't look like the gun grabbers they really are. Their true intention is that they have all the guns and the folks they're lording over have nothing but their limp dicks.
Currently all of the police know they are acting outside the law. Actual arrests aren't taking place. Some people are being 'detained', cuffed, and brought out in vans to outside the city and dropped off, then taking rideshares back into the city. https://youtu.be/Lrl5ZvZSHIg
I’m in mourning because the country my grandfather served in WW II to protect died today. 😢

Cops mounted on horses trampling people.
I can’t believe this is my country.
the horses were blindered, the cossacks horses were trained to run down humans. the rcmp work for the tsar.
Well, this is the thing. You start with demonizing the whole concept of dissent as essential to intellectual discourse. First it's merely impolite and annoying. Before you know it, it's a danger to our actual health! Selfish, selfish people who keep talking about their "freedom!"
I had a funny experience a couple of years ago that may seem irrelevant but I don't think it is, in terms of how even normal, moderate dissent is made to seem crass and disgraceful. I joined a local municipal govt. and pretty innocuous advisory committee, and when it came time for the annual vote on leadership (and there were less than a dozen members), I abstained, because I felt it was merely a pro forma vote and thought the chair and vice chair should at least have each made a presentation of their goals going forward and why they ought to be re-elected. And I made clear I had no personal animus. I just wanted 'em to sing for their supper, so to speak.
I was treated like something a really bad cat had dragged in from the alleyway which was stinking up the parlor. They were deeply, deeply affronted and the city employee liaison to the advisory committee (only paid participant) told me it was "strongly disadvised" to abstain. I did anyway, of course. But my entire service was essentially the peasant rebellion against the gentry.
FYI I'm one of only two members of the general populace who has written, in letters to the editor of our regional newspaper, why the vax is a bad idea and that we decline to get it. In a population of around 15,000 where the paper attracts many, many letters.
In the post-Truth New World Order dissent is only allowed for approved groups like BLM, Antifa, Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace staging protests or riots in order to feed the current narrative the Overlords are pushing. They even have police deliver pallets of bricks to the site of the protest. And police escort busloads of Antifa to protests.
I caused bit of a situation at my sailing club 20 years ago when I requested the meeting continue "in camera." This excluded the (fairly harmful) paid manager who left in a snit.
Robert's Rules can be fun and useful.
You can also request a recorded vote, which can smoke out the snivellers.
Oh, there were no worries about that. Meeting minutes were transcribed and recorded; my voice lives on in deathless glory. But I simultaneously had many, many letters to the editor published on every local and national issue that interested me, and since I wrote as a member of the citizenry and not identified with the advisory committee, they were helpless to stop me. Made 'em nuts. I didn't seek reappointment after my term ended since I realized I had far greater reach in the community with them damn letters. I enrage legions...
Scratch a progressive and underneath you find a fascist.
that listens to npr.. and thinks theirselves intellectuals....
There's a reason for the Second Amendment: "Constant apprehension of war, has the same tendency to render the head too large for the body. A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence agst. foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people." https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_629.asp
as charlie heston said 'my cold dead hands....'
As if we who have been watching closely and listening to learned voices did not see this coming. Which is the more egregious aspect here: that our governments are shutting down those freedoms that all of humanity are born with, or that our police/military personnel are willingly enforcing such unprecedented edicts? Aren't these people also fellow citizens?
I think far and away #2 is worse, not even close. #1 is to be expected.
Canada has fallen - these oath breakers are proof ☹️
We have guns like that because they have guns like that.
They are better armed than what the US army provided me with in Iraq.
For the mind that asks the question of "why would you need a gun like that", there is only one answer, You only "need" 2000 calories per day, a change of clothing, basic shelter, warmth in the winter with clean fresh water, bathtub and toilet as a bonus. Everything else is a lifestyle choice. If we are letting the state decide, on behalf of the questioner, what lifestyle choices we are allowed, we are in a Gulag. Only Trudeau could make downtown Ottawa look like the Russia-Ukraine frontier.
You will own nothing and be happy
And where the heck are their masks? Don’t they know there’s a dangerous virus on the loose? Grandma Killers!
I always knew Fascism was liberalism…. Trudeau is a true piece of dung. A Xi or Putin wannabe.
Keep in mind that our "leaders" are WEF lackeys, bought and paid for.
Check out Chrystia Freeland, smarter and more dangerous than Jacinda Ardern.
See Klaus Schwab's 2017 interview where he exults in his control of better than half of the Canadian cabinet.
You saw this one, right? Where he says he admires China's dictatorship?

Of course, Biden has said the exact same....
I did - Karma will catch them all. Dementia has already got the grips on one of them and it’s a shitty disease
Do the proud patches these armed warriors wear say Pfizer or Moderna?
In Ottawa mounted police slammed into peaceful demonstrators and broke into vehicles. They are heavily armed against unarmed people.. In Saskatchewan the RCMP did substantial damage to private excavators parked on private property. Meanwhile in BC green protestors attacked a pipeline and did a large amount of damage.
No, they were not protesters. BC had a terrorist attack by 20 armed militants. Freeze Suzuki's bank account perhaps?
Pay attention! They are not "terrorists", they are fighters against the next "Emergency", the "Climate Crisis," promoted by a WEF near you.
This has been an interesting situation, funded by American energy interests for some time to maintain access to Canadian hydrocarbons below world price. Some of the original NAFTA arrangements explicitly involved a "continental energy policy."
I'm willing to listen to gun control arguments after the police and the rest of the state goes first.

Good to see the world is not running short on sociopaths gleefully following the orders of their despotic paymasters.
all counts to 20 the pension that is....
Till then it’s “Shot while trying to escape.”
The proles will never have the firepower of the government; but to fight as a patriot and die a martyr will encourage and embolden the next generation.
a bucket of mud.... the hungarians took out soviet tanks in 1956. some of them trained us army spec ops in the 50's 60's....
deer hunter make passable snipers. antelope hunter are better!
Do as I say, not as I do...
ALWAYS!
In this war, the side that stands for individual liberties is allowing themselves to lose. How? Please read...
It is inconceivable to me how my side on the right allows their enemies on the left to set the context of the argument. The left makes an accusation, the right plaintively squeaks 'not true', then the left unleashes force as punishment for the supposed violation. This is repeated over and over. It is done incrementally, in stages, in steps. All the while, the right just hangs around protesting their innocence, complaining about hypocrisy, and waiting for the next shoe to drop. This is completely the left's context, and the right just meekly lets it happen.
Instead, the right must seize the offense. The right must make claims about a leftist violation, supported by legal and moral evidence. The right must demand that the left stop the violation. The right must publicly proclaim a line in the sand, and warn the left that any further encroachment is considered incitement and therefore valid excuse to enact a measured physical response. And when the left inevitably doubles down, the right delivers as promised, no exceptions.
Do you see the difference? In this way, the right sets the context. In this way, the left is on the defensive. In this way, the right no longer keeps getting pushed back step by step, but instead starts moving forward, and starts winning. But what it requires of the right is moral clarity and moral courage.
So far, the right has been duped into playing the left's game. That game says the right must adhere to pure, emasculated, passive non-violence in order to remain true to a fake moral ideal that was cleverly, surreptitiously handed to them by the left. It's a game of heads the left wins, tails the right loses. And in case you haven't noticed, the right is losing badly, continuously, to the point where it's almost game over. Damn it everybody, wake up, understand what's being done to you, and seize the damn initiative.
Nice!!!👍
Any one have suggestions where unvaccinated Canadians can move to in order to escape this tyranny?
Oak Island, no person or thing is ever found there.
If you can get to England, we are living free lives here (always with the caveat 'for now'), looking on in horror at Canada, Blue State America, our neighbours on the continent (Thank God we left the EU). But how are you going to get here - your own personal long-distance kayak?
Central and South America, South Africa are looking like the best bets at the moment.
I would've said "due south"...but now I'm not so sure. Good luck!
I've heard it said more than a few times in the last few days and I've seen it with my own eyes: the Ottawa truck freedom convoy protests were peaceful until the police came.
This evening I watched a press conference given by Tom Marazzo, one of the speakers for the freedom convoy. A reporter asked him why he was so surprised at police tactics (as shown in the above picture) when that's the way police typically respond to a large protest. Tom answered the question as best he could, you can see the exchange at the link below but I wanted to emphasize: this was a completely peaceful protest. There was absolutely no violence, no property damage, nothing. This was not your typical large protest. Even in Canada where we're all supposed to be so nice, past protests were not so nice by any stretch. The police came in like brutes, at least the ones the politicians managed to scrounge together from the bottom of the barrel.

When smearing failed, fascist false flags (literally), then freezing bank accounts failed, the curtain is pulled back to reveal the true authoritarian state. I don’t recall anyone mentioning COVID in relation to the situation in Canada for a while if anyone needs any further illustration.
Funny, I’ve never noticed police with weapons like this in Chicago where just yesterday a woman was carjacked in broad daylight blocks from my home.
Just an FYI - these “spec ops” guys are making North of 120k
The 2nd Amendment: take advantage of it...NOW!
Weapons of war for me, but not for thee
except these babies are full auto
Do these guys have any idea how ridiculous they look?

When are the police and the Federal & Provincial Gov't going to obey the law requiring an investigation into any death of unnatural causes? We know for a fact that this virus is bioengineered, even with some Canadian help. If it was released accidentally, then each death of Covid is at least manslaughter and needs to be investigated as such. In fact the virus was deliberately released so each Covid death is murder one and the police are guilty of dereliction of duty for not investigating it and prosecuting the guilty.
When we look ever closer at 'our' socetal constructs, we notice, sooner than later, contradictions and anomalies abound. It is said that Public Health moves at the speed of trust (Rishi Manchanda). Clearly Gov trust in the community, and now vice a versa, is at a low. For great insight into this and more, i suggest you watch this podcast via Jordan Peterson, featuring Dr Norman Doidge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfEkp_TFvY0
It's ok. Some kind of push poll says that 2/3 of Canadians support this move. Who knew that civil rights are governed by popular opinion?
2/3rds of Canadians get their news from the 100% corrupt corporate media.
The outrage at turned to acceptance of police brutality is another on the long list of disgraceful hypocrisies ... In the name of diversity and empathy, police brutality only matters with some people, and there can only be one correct way of thinking ...
