Niagara Bill

You are correct, more to it. The protesters are led by Maga nuts and so called patriot groups. There is an underlying alternative group, well funded and set on destabilizing. Localizing politicians houses have been attacked, damaged spray painted,cars wreaked, for the last 3 or 4 months. I want all of this type of person dealt with so I support strong measures, used appropriately. Emergency legislation us not required. I love good protest, but this is more than that. Example...I can agree with Jan 6 protesters message, but not the actions. I have no desire to live in anarchy.

Let's remember who the people are, 88% of "THE PEOPLE" were vaxxed and supported masks. The malcontents can move to FLA if they wish, no masks, no tax...

Second....

He has always had criticism fir any idiot, Biden, trump, whoever

Yes, rather embarrassing, but seriously, not exactly Jan 6 eh...pot-kettle

150 small businesses in the area were forced closed by the protesters who damaged their store fronts because they were not supportive. Strange about freedom of speech eh.

If you mean Jennifer Lawrence is here....I am all for that....oh baby😁😁😁😁😁

I think these cops were fair minded to a protester who lives 2500 miles away who is found in a zone of the city which is restricted to residents. There was no violence, no arrest, just persistence. No one pulled taser, baton, or gun. No one was thrown on the ground with a knee to the neck. They did the job.

It would be rediculous for Canada to go alone, but likely we would take our cue from Britain, as we have in the past. Russia has always fought a war of attrition, having sacrificed millions in wars past from Napoleon to WW2. In Russia, the death of people in war is a tool.

Red...the question, when is the point of no return for a response. What us even possible with today's weapons

Wow, you are sooooooo knowledgeable about the world....I'm impressed. So let's see...protestors were allowed 3 weeks of illegal control, no one was killed, very very little violence police were respectful, no looting, press access, warning after warning vs... 4 dead in Ohio, Watts, National guard in Virginia, 1968 Chicago, Jan 6, 20 yrs of Guantanamo, the highest prison rate in the western world. Yes Trudeau went too far with this law, which will not pass on Monday so a mute point, where unlike Russia, voting actually matters...a slightly different view than trump has in elections.. But is your protest focused on the freezing of your contribution...hmmmm

The fu was not meant for you SoCal Jan 06, 2021, the day trump smiled at insurrection, violence against elected representatives and even death, then his fans spun it....

So, if Ukraine is not important enough to have an actual war, what country is important enough for conflict. Georgia? Poland? Finland? Can there be a war? If not how do you stop the new Hitler at a time of nuclear warheads. Russia has never been shy about sacrificing citizens in conflicts. 1938/39 saw the world wait too long... 2022, there will not be opertunity for conventional build up, Daunting challenges,

Go wax your board. I believe in the Canadian political system and Canada as a country. I know who I support. The red line is use the system, respect the system, respect fellow citizens, and for those who become extreme in either direction....fu. Incredible how anyone who supported trump can even imagine protest without death, rioting, police brutality, and truth. You have joined the new news media, called internet spin.

Yes crush and send message. Russia $$$ or US money...both us wrong and unacceptable. Every government has secrets, every dissident group has secrets. I believe in free speech, but do not trample on my right when you do it. Frankly, if no one dies in this, I say...great. Protest, please, but never undermine your system of government

Sorry but while I love peaceful protests, message sending and causing some stiff, I cannot support this process past the first week. They have made a point, they are endangering other citizens they have refused reason and law. While I do not support this whole law as it us not required, but money coming from the US , Russia to undermine Canadian politics deserves to be dealt with. Don't be thinking we are talking a small family of 5 here losing rent money and a savings account from a 5 yr old's paper route. In any regards the law will not pass on Monday and with luck, the protest will be controlled. So far very little issue but many of the hard core will be last.

I haven't heard a shoe fall yet, never mind a second shoe. 30 days and no Geraldo special on TV. Why so long?

Listen, this protest goes much deeper than masks....everyone wants this to be the only issue. Like to US this involves long standing feelings about immigration, government support to immigrants, 49billion more given to indigenous this past year, $10million granted to 200 black families to help them buy a house in Toronto etc etc etc. Tax money spent only on some. You know the scenario. Left governments have been in charge too long but what idiots are running the right have gone too close to trumpers for 80% of Canadians. We will not unfortunately abortion, we hate the religious right, IMHO. Safe houses for druggies, soft judges, guns, weak police, gangs all play a roll. When this real and truly non violent protest started lots of folks loved it, even if you liked masks. But time has rotted the fish

Stay up to date. See Alberta...

Strange how you said Portland allowed leftist idiots to over run the city but when somebody takes kegal steps to control potential dangerous group without violence you whine.

The US just distributed 10s of millions of Afghan and Taliban (some US citizens as well) money seized from banks and gave it to others. What gives any government the right to do this? Power, law, need. When you are facing terrorism of any type, use what you can to control. If they dispurse, none of thus is necessary. But you cannot allow illegal occupation of any city, holding its citizens hostage. What do local citizens pay their taxes for so a few can claim freedom, that is bs. What I continue to hear is that behind this protest is a radical group looking for a reason. Parliament was shutdown today, called at 4 30 am, highly unusual. The protestors in Alberta went home when they discovered a radical group amongst themselves. Everyone in a free country supports protest, not anarchy.

Yes, likely this act is not necessary and over kill, but this God mig died and local belief us that there is a angerous group who joined in. Why not arrested...I assume they wanted to allow protest, a right until it hot out if control. No one wanted injuries. Protesters have now brought children so when they get arrested there are picks of the kids crying and being removed. Trudeau is a politician, not a leader... But why did Jan 6th occur without police support, etc. Tough situation

What haven't they backed off federally. Travel restrictions and requirements at changing, truckers will not need to quarantine, but that matters little as they cannot enter into the US without full vaccination. The feds actually have little control of provincial rules, just like in the YS. These protests have far more depth that a mask.

If they supported him it is likely not to be protesting for 19 days. They are not into personal accounts, but for terrorists, yes is the answer. A citizen can be a terrorists, many examples of that. Of course, if protesters want to locate in a location not affecting other citizens, likely less issues. The protesters have set up soup and food buffets, saunas, music with dj's tents, yurts,. If any other citizen in this area were to do that, likely would be charged. Bars in the area have noise by laws after 11pm. This so far has been peaceful for sure, proud of them for that and I am sure big bad government does not want to stir violent reactions. Many countries have had violent protests. Very different circumstances. Both parties are now between rock and hard place. As I said to SoCal, rock and hard place for both

No government can respond to 300 citizens demand in an area that 88% of people were vaxxed, who followed the rules requested. Many restrictions including travel types, passports, some masking, restaurants to 100%, sports venues have already been announced and scheduled to change in the next 14 days. What is the point. Truckers from Canada can STILL not enter US unless fully vaxxed. As to banks accounts and terrorist, the legal issue is to allow dealing with groups like proud boys, gangs and others who are now entering the fray. In Alberta the good protesters went home when 11 people were arrested in the blockade with guns and weapons. The original protesters were honest and true, others are now trying to take advantage. There us no need for US donations or Russian donations unless it is truly just a cover for a more nefarious plot. Trudeau has lost the hill and any good will he could have had. The Ottawa mayor is in trouble, the Police chief quit, obviously a lot of political interference. Never saw a question, just a political pronouncement
