    1. @Chicken Leg Yeah I’m from Canada, QC , about 40ish % income tax, that’s without all the taxes on items you buy and all. That’s exactly why I live a minimalistic life. Interest income doesn’t get taxed as much !

    2. @Iftin Crisis the government protects criminals, you can just say you took drugs and had no control over your decisions

  1. This guy gets 6 years for ramming down a gate, but Marco Muzzo who killed Grandpa and 3 kids is out in four years.

    The justice system in Canada is a joke.

    1. Now, you know that Canada has a two-tier judicial system! One for the rich and the other for the poor.

    1. @Industrial adhesive “various ethics violations” let this be a lesson for you kids, just because you use big words doesn’t make you intelligent.

    2. @cole schrader bad english sorry. But i mean there would be some substance for him to be arrested. And yeah he did break laws. He was illegally using funds from a Non profit NGO to give to his family. I forget the other scandal but it was something lile using taxpayers money for a vacation.

    3. @Industrial adhesive Allegations are bad but allegations aren’t definite. Innocent till proven guilty yk

  2. Someone’s beliefs, if of a violent or criminal behavior are one thing…

    But his *POLITICS!???* Wtf…???

    1. @K Nelson When was I talking to you??

      Go away. Go bully your kids and partner with that relax/gaslighting, crap

    2. @S Speedy No, but smashing through a gate with a vehicle loaded with military grade weapons with the intent to kidnap someone is. Or did you forget that part?

    1. @Chaz Coats-Butcher But then he surrendered, pled guilty, and was generally accomodating with the police. The lawyer said this is usually 5 years and he got 6 is a bit strange considering his actions.

      If he had went in gun blazing, I would say he should be charged with terror and a life sentence… but he didn’t do it.

    2. @Thomas Bui Did it occur to you that the lawyer’s already setting up a framework for an appeal? Outside of the courtroom the lawyers can say anything. They often try to stir up public support.

    3. @K Nelson No it did not occur to me like that. I suppose it’s possible the lawyer is trying to spin things his way. Then again, I only know the details coming from his side. If the Crown is willing to provide more details, like what the precedences were, then I’m willing to change my mind.

    4. @Chaz Coats-Butcher Use the proper term. He tried to ARREST the Prime Minister . There you go , I fixed it for you.

  3. Well it’s only a matter of time this becomes something more than a ramming at the gates. 🥱

    1. @Razzy Husky
      I mean if you like living in a dictatorship posing as a democracy keep defending mr trudopehead

  4. Next time use a Freightliner with a moose bumper. It will make it through the gates, and wont konk out like the pick up he used.
