What….he doesn’t like lockdowns/shutdowns?
O’toole is gone bye bye.
😁👋😁👍
@JAYG79 time for Pierre to step in
@Cody Hummel I wonder how long his leadership will last if he gets it…….o’toole didn’t even get 2 yrs
@Longdivision 27 o tool is a tool. Not a true conservative.. any real canadian conservative could see he was a JT 2.0
You Sir are the Mayer, don’t wait for a daily briefing, get out there and see for your self what is going on in your town. The perception that you are giving is that you are either in hiding or denial of the situation. You are a PUBLIC SERVANT, go serve your public as you were entrusted to.
He is following his prime minister of Canada.
@roman lefter if he was, he would have fled the country too…
Correct the wanna-be Mayor is a hide + seeker.
He is like Kenny, gutless!!!!!!!
@C Q Correct no jam.
Sorry about your luck mr. Mayor, that’s not going to happen
Well mayor of Ottawa is not happy either…
That’s unfortunate. But this is a bigger issue.
We are not happy if we own nothing, including our bodies.
They haven’t upheld the law at any point in the entire pandemic
Lots of cops and ex military
Why so worried? “If you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about”…right? Remember that old chestnut?
I love seeing these politicians squirm. They are uncomfortable, and their hands are tied, so long as these protests remain peaceful, there’s not much that they can do.
@gabriel szarose Sure, I guess you should know about ‘following’
@Dark farts Dark 💨 farts for mighty ruler of the universe
I guess you haven’t heard the roadblock has been removed
@John Smith What exactly do you think the mayors job of a 250 population village is?
Case you haven’t heard this wasn’t a peaceful protest it was an illegal blockade of a provincial highway. That has been remedied today. Two lanes of traffic are now open to border crossers.
Exercising your constitutional rights can get messy, that’s why we hold them as sacred.
@Fernando Estrada you know that there are other methods of delivery right?
@Iron Cass’ we are not Americans. We don’t have a gun culture.
@Tom Martin Nice content ya got there senor BOT 🖕
Lil baby Kenny changed the rules when they wanted to beat down indigenous… of which I bet you were all about.
@Josh Simms Brian Peckford is not the last living drafter of the Charter. For one thing, Jean Chretien, who was the federal Justice Minister at the time, is still alive. And you didn’t answer the question: _what constitutional right is being exercised?_
But Trudeau said they *weren’t* intimidating. I’m confused.
Lol. Perfect
Different area of the country and experience. I hope they call in the military to clear these protesters and allow the ones who are bringing supplies to Canada to carry on. This not Trump town.
Allow me to dispel your confusion…
If Trudeau says something
THE OPPOSITE IS THE TRUTH
Let’s Go Brandeau!!
Ain’t got nothing to do with “Trump town”
End all restrictions
You feel it now the mandates have been doing that to others for too long but it’s wrong for you what a leader
But the mayor wasn’t intimidating when he enforced lockdowns?
3 days and he says enough is enough, how delusional are you? 2weeks to 2years to too much.
That’s my answer to all of this, “just two weeks, we are all in this together!”
Enough is enough, you are right, end mandates.
This mayor seems useless. Why do they keep going to this guy? STOP with this goof. Go and support them already MAYOR. He is making this ALL worse.
It’s funny how the mayor is saying “enoughs enough” lol because that’s exactly what the truckers are saying 😆
I respect this gentleman for looking after the interests of his citizens, and not using inflammatory rhetoric against the overall protest. Sounds like he may have actually read the organizers’ manifesto, and heard their repeated appeals to participants to be respectful, peaceful and law-abiding. They are even reporting incidents to police themselves.
What do you mean by the RCMP having “free reign” to do whatever is necessary??
“enough is enough” well said. That’s how all the Canadians waving flags on bridges last week and truckers all over feel . Enough is enough
What impact are the mandates having on canadians, is the relevant question. It’s been two years. Your ‘inconvenience’ has been less than two days!
