If he would have wanted to, they wouldn't have let him.

Five PM's before him never used it.
I guess nothing before this has ever been so frightening as some guys setting up a hot tub on an Ottawa street.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

You can believe what you want but there is much more to to it than just hot tubs and bouncy castles in downtown Ottawa. Time to end it.
-
I notice your PM never had the balls to even meet with any of the protesters.
But he can steal their donations, freeze their bank accounts, mount snipers on the roofs overlooking the trucks and enact emergency powers that negate any civil rights Canadians may have.
Proud, are ye?

Not proud but supportive of all the measures being taken to bring this occupation to an end and restore order. Not my problem if you find it appalling. As far as I’m concerned bleeding hearts here and the US can go ahead and bleed. Get your facts straight or STFU.

I’m surprised how small the intersection is between people who think authorities should intervene to stop BLM protesters from blocking streets and people who think authorities should intervene when these pilgrims do it too. Anyway, I stand there proudly.

What about other protests that block streets? We saw them during the run-up to the Iraq war (I remember trying to drive down State Street at that time)?
Want to protest? Get a permit.
But to draw equivalence between the two is, to a great extent, misguided.
When you can show a picture of Ottowa that looks like this, in OUR national capital, then there's an equivalence:
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
-
There is no equivalence, at least not yet despite the seized weapons and ammunition cache and arrests Monday at the border protest south of where I live. I also do not believe Jon was trying draw an equivalence with the BLM riots either.
This is about law enforcement and the restoration of order. Over the course of the next few days it will be Parliament, not the mob, that will decide upon and vote on the pending enforcement legislation. In the meantime the mob has been put on legal notice to disperse immediately or risk arrest and financial consequences.

And your Prime Minister supported the BLM demonstrations, while remaining silent on the billions of dollars of damage that were caused.
In my book, he holds no moral authority in that regard. He may well feel (as you do) that these should be put down. My point is simply that when it's occurring on your doorstep, the morality changes, eh?

I don't understand your point George. I was comparing one set of demonstrators blocking the highways to another. That they were blocking the highway is I need to know. I don't need to have some threshold level of vandalism to also occur in order for me to come to a conclusion.
I'd have been all for removing the BLM guys from the highways even if the summer riots of 2020 had not occurred at all.

No, the morality doesn’t change. My support is for Parliamentary rule of law not the misguided actions of one of its members. So what if Trudeau took a knee at a BLM protest/demonstration in Ottawa? We did not experience the same level of violence here as in the US and BLM in this country is not nearly as radicalized as in the US. I would agree though Trudeau ought not to have been there at that event any more than Conservative Party Members of Parliament cheering on the so-called Freedom Convoy protesters ten days ago.
Nevertheless, just as some of protesters in the convoy have legitimate and reasonable claims so too do some BLM supporters as well as the many aboriginal groups in this country. It is only when these reasonable people’s cause is hijacked by militant and radical elements on either side of the political spectrum that problems arise and mob rule rears its ugly head. That’s what happened in the US and that is where this Freedom Convoy movement has been heading here in this country.
Disagree with me if you wish, but what Trudeau said or did regarding BLM is of no consequence to what is occurring under his watch right now. As one pundit described it, so long as Trudeau is being blamed for the damage caused to Canada by the protest, by invoking the Emergency Act he is at least willing to absolve the municipalities and provinces from any ownership of the failure to deal with the protests and place it squarely on his own shoulders and the federal government.

I think there exists a lot difference between a peaceful protest and one that is not.

Militant - combative and aggressive in support of a political or social cause, and typically favoring extreme, violent, or confrontational methods.
I'll give you confrontational, but I don't think peaceful protest is extreme and the protest in Ottawa has not been violent. You've already admitted the latter.
The truckers say the guns were planted...
https://www.dailydot.com/debug/trucker-protest-guns-stolen-plot-discredit/
Whether they were or not, I don't know, but A) I don't think they were known to exist by either the organizers or 99% of the people that are there, and B) Do you trust the Canadian government not to run a set-up job, considering some of the nefarious things they've already done.
Seems to me, Justin Castro has fucked this up from the word go, and then doubled down on stupid. Look, anybody with the brain of a microencephalitic jackass knows that vaccine mandates are unworkable and going the way of the Do-do bird. All Junior had to do, was meet with leadership, admit what everybody already knows, make some muttering noises about the primacy of provincial government and assure the protesters that he would use the power of the Canadian government to try to bring about change.
Instead, Brave Sir Robin ran at the first sign of a Peterbilt, which is strange, since it looks like that's the only peter he's ever run from.

Well, the truckers are wrong, the guns were not planted. The thirteen who were arrested were, as the saying goes, known to police. I’ll take the word of the RCMP on the issue who have now later charges of Conspiracy to Commit Murder on three or four of the thirteen arrested at the scene.
As to your last two paragraphs..,.you know, you’re probably right although I find it more than just a little bit amusing that you think you know so much about how this country is governed and what Canadians think about their government. I personally prefer to listen to the knowledgeable and objective criticism of Trudeau and his government from Yves Blanchett, leader of the Bloc Québécois and the cautionary advice of the federal NDP regarding the Emergency Act, rather than the uninformed opinions and frankly ignorant folksy epithets and musings of a right wing republocrat from outside the country.

Why do American conservatives suddenly dislike Trudeau so much? He's clearly a bit crap, but it has to be said there are a lot worse leaders to get your knickers in a twist over. I've heard more praise for Vladimir Putin, and that guy's a total cunt.
They do realise that Canada isn't actually part of 'Murrica, right?
Or maybe they've just given up tidying up their own room as an insurmountable task, and decided it would be much easier to complain about the mess in the neighbour's yard?
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Don’t know and don’t care. It’s their problem if they can’t get their mind around the fact a PM is thought of differently by the electorate in a parliamentary system than is a president in a republic.

Probably because Putin hates and fears George Soros as much, if not more, than they. Besides that Putin is quite respectful towards a well known American real estate tycoon and one time politician, whose business empire attracts the good will and offshore investments of close friends and associates of the Russian President.
They do realise that Canada isn't actually part of 'Murrica, right?
I have my doubts.
