Canada: Woman trampled by horse patrol just died. A man who had his head stepped on might be dead too. Over 100 arrested, 21 vehicles towed.

#2 Another view. These incompetent goons beat the shit out of another protester AFTER their Maple-Cossacks stomped and killed his fellow citizens.

These fvckers are creating a Stasi in front of our eyes.

As they hide and distort and delete data showing that their experimental gene therapy has caused orders of magnitude more harm to our young men than their WuFlu.

Which actually took only a small fraction -- 6% by some estimates -- of the lives these deranged liars claimed it did.

And now they want to go to war with Russia.

THEY ARE INSANE.

This cannot be tolerated any longer.

#12 I'm interested in how the Canadian public will react. I get the sense the truckers do not have wide public support. If they were held in high regard by the public I think more people would have stood with them during their protest. Parliament did not have many supporters of the trucker protest. Opponents of Trudeau would have jumped all over him if they thought the people were supporting the truckers.

"Dirty work," eh? You're saying that protest is "dirty"? How so?

True, we're all little people here, of no consequence. This site exists so that truth is not extinguished. That gives hope, which is not to be sneered at.

But since

#14 American Pravda (nytimes.com) has no mention at all of trampling or deaths. Just a bland, brief mention of Ottawa police "clamp[ing] down" as "crowds clash." Buried below the digital homepage, requiring a few clicks to arrive at.

Ceausescu's mouthpiece would have been proud.

#15 Yes, the vaunted image of Canucks as mellow liberals. It's gone downhill since they basically rewarder Omar Khadr for being a terrorist.

Now, when I think of the Canadian National Character, I think of it the same way I think of Jackson Brown punching Darryl Hannah while singing "Somebody's Baby." Which is to say I think of a rancid hypocrite.

#18 Zero mention of "trample" or "injured," "died" or "deaths" in US / Canadian / UK Pravda and Izvestia.

Did it happen? Was anyone trampled or injured?

Per the right-leaning Washington Examiner, Ottawa police deny it:

Ottawa police released a statement on Twitter assuring the public that authorities are unaware of any injuries.

"We hear your concern for people on the ground after the horses dispersed a crowd. Anyone who fell got up and walked away. We're unaware of any injuries. A bicycle was thrown at the horse further down the line and caused the horse to trip. The horse was uninjured," police said.

Another tweet from Ottawa police later in the evening reads, "Please note: No one has been seriously injured or passed away in any of today's police actions. Safety is our priority."

#24 #20 my understanding is that it has to be ratified by Parliament in 7 days. If it isn't, it is not legal beyond that (not that dictators care about 'legal'). Sort of a pocket veto. It's one way for the MPs to avoid showing their hand to the public where they stand.

#25 At least they're talking about ratification of "emergency powers."

We South North Americans in the USSA have been living under emergency powers from the likes of Whitless, Fred Flintstone, Brylcreem et al. and various little County kommissars for two years now

#27 People pay stupidly large amounts of money for the opportunity to be thrown or stomped by a horse. Ask Christopher Reeve (oh, you can't, he's dead) or lots of rich kids from royal families in Britian or Fauquier County, VA.

#32 The seizure of bank accounts should have LOTS of Americans re-thinking how they go about their business. The corrupt and unelected Biden administration would think nothing of enacting similar "emergency" procedures and is likely licking their chops for an opportunity to give it a whirl.

Visa gift cards, paid for in cash--the only way to buy or support anything that a corrupt regime might declare a "crisis".

#37 I do want to point out:

I formation like this only works if you know the protestors play along.

I don't mean, in agreeance, I just mean, riding along like that between two teams requires both teams allow the horse on parade.

#38 Before Turdo got dictatorial and the government staged a riot, the protest was peaceful. The government has likely driven things underground in the future; things could turn uglier.
