If Doug Ford had managed the situation competently the Feds would never have needed to be involved
It was Peter Sloly's jurisdiction. He's the one who initially mismanaged it.
And then Trudeau fucked up when he got involved and invoked the Emergencies Act

Should the government freeze bank accounts of organizers exercising rallies? Like the protests in downtown now?
Absolutely not because the protests downtown now are protesting another government far far away not our own. That's how we do things in this country. Fuck over our own people and let outsiders do whatever they want.

In Someones Will Hopefully!
1,000% it was the right call invoking the emergency act. They allowed them f****** idiots to protest more than enough and when they were told to leave they started talking tough thinking oh wow we got control now and they got exactly what they deserved. I personally loved every minute of it watching them greasy lowlifes run for cover like rats!

I do not support the Palestinian protestors but you cannot compare the two protests. One was an occupier of a city the other protests and goes home. It is a big difference.
Those Palestinian protests are almost daily and have been ongoing since October. The fact that they go home at the end of the day and come back the next day in a new location I don't find is a big difference. They're just spreading the frustration around.
As far as I'm concerned, if you're blocking a roadway and impeding traffic as your protest, you should be removed from said roadway. Whether you're there for 30 minutes, 3 hours or 3 weeks. But your removal should be done under regular authority.

I agree that the city and the province dropped the ball. But the federal government went nuclear with the Emergencies Act, which was a gross overreach.

The Palestinians are being kept off bridges and the neighborhoods containing a big Jewish community. They were thrown out of the Eaton Center as they should be and are being somewhat controlled. They are not camping out, blowing horns, and having bouncy castles in the streets. It's completely different but I do agree, that the protests should not block roadways and interfere with folks just trying to get through the day. I don't care who the protesters are, if it is as the twats did in Ottawa and the Bridge, they deserve everything thrown at them and more, oh how I wish it was more.

Actually, if the court's decision stands, I wish they had seized my bank accounts cause I'd be getting a multi-million dollar payday.
Latest estimate are in the range of $1-5 million per victim.
Trudeau seized 206 bank accounts, so do the math, it'll be between $200 million and $1.03 billion.

Nice going, TruDOPE

There’s considerable grey there Phil. Per the article in Canadianlawyermag I posted.

Statute of limitations has run out.

At a guess, an appeal might come, once that’s figured out. Anything else.

Why?

The crickets here and out there. You bet your ass they are busy measuring the winds and mining SM

Thats wrong. Bank accounts werent frozen until Feb 19, 2022:

By February 19, at least 76 bank accounts linked to the protests totalling CA$3.2 million were frozen under the Emergencies Act.[80] Most accounts had been unfrozen by February 23.[

Statute of limitations is 2 years from date of loss. So they have almost a whole month to file

your right, I’d read so many things on it, one I read ( not the one linked) said they better act fast not that it has just passed. I suppose that happens when your busy doing things when everyone else is snug in bed and the caffeine IV isn’t large enough :)
