    1. it wasn’t justin…. it was the senate. most of the liberal senators were not backing this. the fools in the liberal caucus however….

    1. i bet jagmeet is crying right now. justin threw him under the bus. jagmeet should have stood up for democracy instead of false division.

  1. I can appreciate the interviewer taking him to task on this over reach of power 👏👏👏. He’s clearly trying to wash his hands of this now.

  2. Too late. Pushed me a hell of a lot farther to the right of the political spectrum. I used to be a moderate liberal. The more things like this happen, the more I become one of those “crazy right wingers”.

    1. @Henry lhd2 ya I saw that too. Just ridiculous. This is someone we have in parliament. Some conspiracy dip$hit

  3. The Canadian banks will never regain confidence by Canadians or from other countries.. well done Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh… just like both your political parties.

    1. It is time to support the truckers who got their bank account frozen. Find out what banks froze their accounts & start withdrawing your money from them & put it in smaller local banks or credit unions. Show them who really has the power. A run on their bank will cause them to demand that the government unfreeze these accounts. The banks will have less assets and that will also cause their stock prices to fall.

    2. Take your money out of bank account. Put it under your mattress. It’s safer. I’m taking some out today and will continue until this ends

  4. Freezing the accounts was to terrify the working class. Make it difficult to feed your family or pay for medicines. The gov’t will now dictate what they feel is acceptable thought and behaviour.

  5. Yeah you know that little thing called CHARTER OF RIGHTS. 🙄
    Idk about anyone else but i dont trust using banks anymore.

    1. And you know what? I bet thousands of foreign investors won’t want to do business with Canadian banks as well…. wonder what this will lead to lol

  6. The freezing of accounts was always illegal. This “lawmaker” is stumbling over his words. Banks froze accounts before the Emergency Act was even ratified. The law enforcement was the only signs of violence we’ve seen.

    2. @M Lizonitz They can still freeze the accounts in smaller banks or credit unions. There are no limits to the reach when they invoke the Emergencies Act.

  7. The courts on the 16th said to stop horns but protest was “legal”

    How is all this nonsense and abuse allowed? Who and how did it become an illegal protest?

    1. It’s illegal because you’re questioning Lord Marshall Trudeau, independent thought and opinion was made illegal in the last election, you just didn’t get to vote on it.

    2. When they didn’t have a permit for the bouncy castle and held a round of road hockey and forgot to use a parking lot for there trucks 😀 😂🍻🇨🇦

    3. I would ASSUME a lack of a permit. without a permit you can only protest on the sidewalks. I really don’t know though. government overreach is abundant.

    4. It isn’t allowed under the law. They just did it anyways because they are authoritarians. It will not be forgotten.

  8. Bank should give extra back to all frozen accounts!!! They deserve compensation from all the Banks responsible!

    1. did you miss that they are not giving all the accounts back , and are still gonna seize a bunch more ?

    2. When we turn this around, every bank executive will be arrested and stripped of all their assets, then jailed. This is a crime against humanity and it will not go unpunished.

  10. “Canada will ALWAYS stand up for the right for peaceful protest ANYWHERE around the world, and we’re pleased to see moves towards deescalation and dialogue. Canada will always stand up for the right for peaceful protest and for human rights around the world.”
    -Justin Trudeau Dec. 4, 2020

    By this point, Indian farmers had been blocking infrastructure for about 2 months already…
