#1 Does anyone believe Trudeau will give up on seizing dictatorial powers? He could have ended this very early on but his ego and lust for power got in the way. No mere peons are going to question his authority. He should be toast soon but will he be?

#2 @#2

Only when he is chased out of office will he.

#3 Simply surreal. Margaret Trudeau's soyboy as Ceausescu. Unreal

#4 ...My understanding is that within a few days, Parliament has to approve this. Which means that Trudeau has committed an unpardonable, unforgivable sin among politicians: He's making them give a straight up, yes or no answer on what is likely the touchiest subject in Canadian politics in decades.

This is gonna be fun.

#5 Yeah, he really stepped on a rake.

If a pocket veto is even possible, it is still a loss, "If it wasn't enough of an emergency to send the request to Parliament, why did you declare an emergency?"

"Can Parliament affirm an emergency on broken dictates, on breaking a 'law' which isn't a law?"

Even those who may agree with the 'emergency' measure for whatever reason, do they want it put into stone and give away the game, affirming the seriousness of the convoy?

#6 Canadians ought to call for a vote of confidence to dump Truedeau. Trudeau has ceased representing Canadian citizens (if he ever did).

#7 Turdo is literally a sock puppet.

And remember a few days ago when Biden told Turdo to take care of the truckers so he didn't have to?

#8 My understanding is that 3/4 of Canadians agree with Trudeaus' vaccine regulations and/or are generally opposed to the truckers.

#10 When asked directly, the right flushable Turdo responded with a jingle non-answer.

As I understand, no bill confirming the dictate has been submitted.

We do know that the currently Canadian Dictatorship is using illegally sources, and quite honestly unverified information physically harass any name which appears on that list; in conjection with that action Washington Post will be conduction their harassment in the USA in accordance to the Biden statement explicitly in support of a crackdown, making both corporations in agreement with what can only be described as criminal trespass, theft, and stalking.

Could be they all just Taco Bell on everything for seven days.

#11 Reconfigure. Let Alberta and the other Freedom-loving western Canadian provinces join the USA.
Vancouver/BC and Ottawa/Ontario can join the Woke USSA.

(And Quebec can join Haiti and the Maritimes, Iceland.)

#12 Argentina, giving Canada shit about being high on the Democracy Index.

Turdo: We will remain a Democracy!
People: Pretty sure over half of us would like you to go fuck yourself.
Turdo: Well, not a Democracy-Democracy.

#13 Others are now noticing that not only should a bill have been prepared beforehand, because there has been plenty of time, it should have been submitted with cause exactly 5 seconds after unlocking the doors. So when questions about the longevity of the dictate are poo-poo'd, it isn't a good look.

So is, dare I say, organizationally speaking, Afghanistan more free than Canada?

Let's not forget Biden's call to push the Dictator Button.

#14 Its not like he woke up this morning after a 6 pack of Taco Bell burritos and surprised himself with pushing the dictator button, showing up to Parliament unprepared and surprised; his question deflections were well prepared and measured. Coached one would say.

#15 I'm guessing its a busy time in the back halls of Parliament Hill as Turd'Dho tries to get votes before presenting the Bill to authorize tis extraordinary act. Absent that certainty, most of this is really bluff with scary blathering but not really using a lot of the powers not yet?authorized.

#16 @#14: That.
