I can see it now when Pee Pee loses he's going to pull a Butterball Trump, Scarecrow Lake move. The election was stolen wah wah wah wah.....
you do not seem to understand how the Trudeau Govt has systematically attacked and undermined the Western Canadian oil industry
Trudeau is a four letter word in Alberta
the bar has been lowered to point where the criteria for using the emergencies act can be what ever the PMs office says it is
sleep well knowing your rights and freedoms can be taken away by a fool
That sounds revolting to me
that's not true
Mr. Dress up has supplied many an embarrassing moments ex- blackface

It was about removing Trudeau from office, it was the to-be Canadian version of Jan 6. They unjustified the use of Truckers as a prop word to gain public sympathy, just like they use "Freedom" as a prop word to gain sympathy.
Not to mention they have ruined our flag. Every time I see anyone with the Canadian Flag I automatically label them as a freedum twat loser and sometimes it may not be the case.
Larue gets PeePee as the spokesman for all he's angry about.
He deserves him.
it was about letting Justin Trudeau know Canadians disapprove of his policies
odd how there were no bouncy castles or hot tubs in the Jan 6 protest
this was a peaceful protest which The moron used 1,000 lb horses & riot police to end
Oh, so they just must have just borrowed all the trucks
the pipeline blockades- was that an unjustified the use of environmentalists as a prop word to gain public sympathy?
the rail blockades- was that an unjustified the use of indigenous peoples as a prop word to gain public sympathy?
odd how Justin Trudeau did not use 1,000 lb horses & riot police to end those protests, he gave those protestors more taxpayer money instead
Linking PeePee and conservatives with the convoy is a great plan, keep it up larue.
Its really incredibly unpopular across the country and guarantees that the cons will remain out of power.
10% support at best, its such a great hill for the party to die on.
Hmmmm, okay....geez, yup just a bunch of peaceful folks.
Luckily Pee Pee brought these good people some nourishment. I'm surprised Tim's hasn't come out with a Pee Pee Bit or a Pee Pee Cruller.

A real Canadian protest
What do we want.
Gradual and incremental change.

At a suitable time, no rush.
'It feels like vindication': Ottawa residents react to Emergencies Act inquiry final report
Centretown resident Tim Abray says the final report into the federal government's decision to invoke the Emergencies Act to end the 'Freedom Convoy' protest last winter, "feels like vindication".
Commissioner Paul Rouleau says the federal government met the threshold for invoking the Emergencies Act in February 2022. The inquiry also found a "series of policing failures" contributed to the protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health measures spinning out of control for three weeks in downtown Ottawa.
Abray also agrees with the commissioner that it never should have gotten to that point.
"It confirmed what a lot of the things people living through it knew the whole time, that it was a dangerous chaotic situation that public officials should have stepped in and done something about. It feels pretty vindicating," Abray said.
He says the three weeks of the convoy "were pretty terrible".
"We were pretty much locked in our homes. There was nowhere to go safely, easily."
Abray says living through the convoy compelled him to advocate for change. Abray now works for a city councillor.
"The feeling of being cut off from services- no taxi access, no OC Transpo access, no deliveries of any kind- nothing. So there was this really strong sense of being cut off," Abray says. "It really did feel like an abandoned city."
John and Margaret Reeder also live in Centretown and say they followed the entire inquiry process, and watched Justice Rouleau deliver his findings on the television.
John Reeder says, “For weeks on end, we could not move about freely downtown without being harassed or intimidated by hundreds of people who were up there."
"Anything that would draw attention to the fact that what they did was unacceptable in my conclusion was an apt conclusion and an appropriate conclusion."
In tabling his final report, Justice Rouleau says, "Things that protesters saw as celebratory, such as horn honking, drinking and dancing in the streets, were experienced by Ottawa residents as intimidating or harassing. Either way, the bigger picture reveals that the situation in Ottawa was unsafe and chaotic."
Rouleau found the lack of safety was particularly apparent with the blockage of emergency lanes on Kent Street, which was entirely blocked by parked trucks, the report said. He also said he accepted the evidence that many participants took advantage of a lack of policing supervision to disrupt and intimidate residents.
Margaret Reeder says the situation was far worse for other residents who had no access to services.
"It was miserable, going out and people in the hotels shouting at you, all the cars, I feel sorry for all the stores and services, people with disabilities," Margaret said.
Businesses who also suffered reacted to the decision. John Saslove owns Saslove Meat Market in the ByWard Market.
"I think it was a good decision, we basically went through hell last year, we were closed some days because the roads were blocked and other days we sat here doing nothing with four employees working, making next to nothing," Saslove said, adding business is still recovering from the protest one year ago.
Mayor Mark Sutcliffe issued a statement on Friday, saying there are many lessons to be learned from the inquiry's report.
"We have already implemented numerous public safety measures and recommendations at the Ottawa Police Services, and within Ottawa Emergency Management unit," Sutcliffe said.
