    1. A state of emergency doesn’t need a vote. The PM can evoke that power on his own. Of course he has to consult with his cabinet and supposed experts, but it is within his office power.

    1. @Im2yys4U 90% of Canadians support mandates and roughly the same are fed up with this civil decent into barbarism. You’ve been put on notice. And don’t think I can’t find out who you really are keyboard warrior

    2. @boarderboi7 While not true.. if 90% ever did support the mandates, which is the removal of freedoms if you do not comply with a government order to inject something into your body, it would be even more important that these protests occur.

    3. MDA Why should he talk or “negotiate” with criminals , blackmailers , terrorists , bullies etc or be expected to , I wasnt aware decisions in this country were made on demands and threats by anyone who feels like taking a city or the border hostage and refusing to leave until and unless they get their own way . Think of the precedent that would set . smfh

    4. @Roderick Scapillati millions of lives all over Canada affected. Have empathy. Unfortunately you live where Parliament is and for decades everything has been fine….until mass divide and forced medical procedures. Times have changed, sorry but we have to stand up for our rights.

  1. Hope guys fight him on everything it’s embarrassing dangerous and wrong how he’s treating Canadian citizens I don’t understand it he’s went to far with this

    1. I am very proud of what Trudeau did today. We need to stop these wannabe authoritarian extortionists now – and stop the economic damage.

    1. Did you know, the Emergencies Act was written with the Charter in mind and is 100% legal. you should go read everything.

  2. We have a person who could have stopped the convoy before it started, then he could have stopped the protests, but instead he escalates all of it by not communicating with Canadians and then invokes the emergency response act. Our so called “PM” is a narcissist and is insane.

    1. @Ben L wow Ben, you should listen to some other news, to hear about those needles and what they are doing.

    2. BABY ALWAYS GOT HIS BOTTLE. TIME TO TAKE IT AWAY. TRIED THAT WITH A WATER BOTTLE AND HE WAS STUMPED! HISTORY WILL BLACKLIST BLACKFACE AS THE MOST REVILED PM EVER!

  3. This is extremely concerning for all Canadians we can’t let Germany happen again this is very dangerous

    1. Hahahaha…. there is no correlation. If anything, trudeau is like a rosa luxemberg, and in this case, should be dealt with in the same manner.

    2. What are you thinking. Don’t be so dramatic like every other off the wall group. Whiners and psychos. Stop talking nonsense. Better yet stop talking.

  4. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks besides the world economic forum. It’s disgusting what is happening to our world

    1. @Roderick Scapillati what does Trump have to do with any of this? Maybe you have had one to many covid boosters

    2. @Roderick Scapillati Trump Derangement Syndrome permanently damages the brain in the same way Trudeau worship does.

  5. CANADA is due for a change. Let’s be patient here for just a little longer. Trudeau is making it happen. He’s slowly doing himself in. Change is coming!

    1. we’ve been patient for 6 years after fucktards voted him in, long overdue for this guy to be turfed then thrown in jail for all his crimes, which are many

    1. Not at all. It is the right thing to do, the wannabe authoritarian extortionists need to be stopped now. Enough economic damage has been done.

  6. The more this lady speaks the more I like her. Never voted before, but I would 100% vote for her if it means removing Trudeau
