Ahh yes, Liberal transparency…But we won’t tell you.
When big business is affected, its an emergency. When small business is decimated across the country due to lockdowns, its no big deal. This is twisted.
When a big business is effected, it’s an emergency. When a small business is negatively effected, it’s working as intended.
This is all JT can do. He’s scared. And should be.
Ya, shows its true colors
@David Gillies and the whole country is paying for it in inflation. He also bought and hoarded 10 doses per Canadian, when other countries are scrambling to get their hands on any vaccines at all.
@David Gillies which was not required if they
“followed the science”.
Will due process be applied before they reach into peoples pockets?…will the “general” public be able to defend themselves in accidental accusations if they occur? …is any of this being considered?
Nope they don’t care. Also this emergencies act is going to a permanent power grab as they will just claim indefinitely that the blockades could come back at any time…
everything would change if we just called it an irregular blockade.
how does a government arbitrarily change laws and freedoms without the peoples, house, vote?
They’ve been doing it for over 2 years now… you’re just waking up to that now?
If they’re the Liberal party, they just do it.
They are voted in lawmakers…
@ItsChineseGuy
Jagmeet and Trudeau have a coalition government
Purge politicians; restore public order!
I can’t believe this is Canada
shameful, never forget what these politicians have taken from you.
Be sure that I’m never, ever voting Liberal again.
literally nothing…
Um.. a couple of loud truckers from downtown Ottawa?
“The government’s going to give cities 750 million dollars for COVID related issues”
In English: The government’s giving out more taxpayer money to cover for their incompetence that we already can barely afford to spend.
@Matthew Shannon Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries in the northern hemisphere. Here’s 500 million!
its payola for the vote by Jagmeet Sing’s party. The party that props up the liberals
@Tom Swales 😭
Canada is collapsing their tax revenue base by freezing / seizing all these assets. Do they realize how many Canadians are now going to be asking for government assitance? Canada is about to financially and economically collapse. And this over one man’s rule.
@J Aitken Not my problem, don’t use my tax money for crap I will never use.
Terrible reporting with both English and French being spoken at the same time. I’m ashamed of Canadian government
And then repeats in English anyways.
2020-2022 brought about all kinds of “Emergency provisions”. Provincial state of emergency; double state of emergency in Ontario; Emergency Use Authorization (Interim Order); Federal State Of Emergency and use of an unprecedented Emergency War Act for all of Canada. The overuse of these “emergencies” will make it difficult to respect the use of these Acts in the event of REAL EMERGENCIES. Our governments have become a joke….
I sure hope they will be looking into antifia, bl m, and climate hysteria protests with the same vigor.
Don’t hold your breath.
Why don’t they invoke ending the mandates to restore public order?
Yeah, all two-year-olds want everything RIGHT NOW.
These guys (and you?) are so mature. NOT.
@Papillon Dogs So once those dates pass and mandates are lifted, the protesters will voluntarily leave. Simple.
@Papillon Dogs it is clearly YOU who lacks maturity and any insight whatsoever….
@Papillon Dogs have you been asleep these past 24 months? One promise after another, all broken. 2 weeks to flatten the curve, we only need to lockdown for a few weeks, get these two shots and you’ll live as before, no masks or restrictions. You must be the world’s biggest sucker to believe any more crap predictions and promises coming from this crowd.
So my understanding is that the emergency measures act isn’t actually in place until the Governor General has had a chance to review and approve it. So how are they able to take these measures before the act is in place?
Congress??
Parliament mate.
@Thepopcornator What congress? Canada has no Congress
@Thepopcornator this ain’t America we don’t have a congress we only have a parliament, a senate, and committees.
@PatT Saurus-Rex 😄😄
Umm , look up your province Senator.
@Edit Channel Name lol @ Vote
Seems like it would be easier to just remove these restrictions that have proven obsolete. 🤔
Walter, you miss the point…..
@K DANIEL on the contrary, it it YOU Daniel who may be too blind to see…
They’ve created a crisis within a crisis, when they could just remove the source of the original crisis.
How can they have frozen accounts when the Emergency Measures have not passed through the House or the Senate? Are there separate laws that allow for this? Did I miss something?
“…We now have the tools…” 105 senators and 338 members, for a total of 443 tools.
They still can’t screw in a lightbulb 😂
@Naboria Moon Mama but they can when 1 holds the lightbulb and 442 turn the House… 😂
@Truth Prevails hahahaha 🤣☠️ 🪦
I am dead, you made me laugh too hard!
@Naboria Moon Mama 😂🤣😂🤣
Lol
How can you freeze funds and suspend a truckers insurance and then tell him to go home?
It is illegal to drive without insurance.
The same idiots say they want to slash the tires of the trucks then tow them out LOL
That’s Liberal logic for you….
I love how the word “occupation” is being as a substitute for “protest”
Terrorists will be used next
Funny how Occupy Wall Street and CHOP/CHAZ weren’t treated this way.
why dont citizens have a chance to invoke a emergencies act when the government is out of control
