It’s exactly what we have to do follow the money we have to see the government has not been held responsible for years it’s just been a blank check where is the money $240 billion the news in India reporting on Canada is better than what we’re getting here
Facts. Indias english language reporting has been phenomenal!
What are “dangerous” weapons? They haven’t even tried to negotiate. Yes Grab more power.
Bill should move to North Korea
Guy can’t give a straight answer to the questions
Is that guy in the video Justin Trudeau’s brother?
He answered no questions.
Politicians are a wonderful breed that should come with 2 Tylenol that help with the headache that this phycobabble face sewage spewage causes.
End the illegal mandates and restrictions.
When asked specific questions. He can’t answer with specific answers. Just answers with political talk. Typical politicians. “Hey. Let’s use this to remove more of Canadian citizens rights.
Literally no rights have been removed!
@Kris Taylor LOL..get informed..end the mandates.
@Ted Poplawski why? Are you saying you will try and topple the government if they don’t end?
@Kris Taylor “ topple the government”. ? Where did you come up with that nonsense? Reading comprehension is non existent.
Bill Blair should have never been given this position – he’s abusing it the same way he abused being Toronto police chief. Your taxes funded this.
Can’t be bothered to sit down with the protest leaders but can easily and joyfully use extreme and threatening measures to curtail freedoms.
Does trudeau have mental problems or was programed
Protest leaders demanded 1) all mandates end, 2) the government is dissolved and the governor general installs a citizens committee, or “we’re not leaving.” That is anti democratic. The organizers don’t deserve a meeting with Trudeau’s poop 💩
@Clive Evans You’re Right ..The blackface is a POS…fixed it for you.
I don’t know how anybody can vote for this guy nor can I understand how anyone can vote for Trudeau, Freeland or Mandicino. This is really a dictatorship. Too bad Trudeau didn’t meet with the truckers at the start. The government would really be in bad shape if the truckers all went home and quit working.
not true
So because the conservatives can’t get into power, everyone else must be wrong…ok then. The truckers want a government takeover, you can’t debate that. They should be arrested
@Kris Taylor the truckers want an end to mandates…” the sky is falling, the sky is falling” Give me a phuqqing break.
@Ted Poplawski so not going to answer my question then…ok thx.
This Government still in panic….
I have a novel idea, drop the mandates like many other countries and provinces are doing and problem solved. Just saying!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is a walking soundbite. When asked specific questions he can only answer with prerecorded, politburo approved non-statements.
The truckers have athe right to work… canadians have the right to move around without restrictions. What doesnt the Liberal government understand ?
one has to wonder? might enacting the Emergency Act give him a back door to circumvent the present legislation and he can trach crypto currency/ maybe we need to look into the possibiity of this..
The permanent addition of financial tracking is not a big deal to a Canadian citizen. Your money is fine, but there is nothing wrong with lower the threshold for tracking foreign money coming into the country. This will stop outside financial interests from interfering with domestic issues.
Can’t be bothered to sit down with the protest leaders but can easily and joyfully use extreme and threatening measures to curtail freedoms.
Bill Blair is the former Toronto Police Chief that used emergency act to illegal mass arrested at G20 Summit in 2010, in which Toronto Police Service paid a 16.5 million settlement.
When politicians need the Emergencies Act to deal with a peaceful protest you know they’re out of touch
Yeah, I’m sure this emergency act will be temporary just like the mandates were supposed to be temporary. Don’t let them fool you, they want complete control.
