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.
I guess we'll disagree on that. I have a HUGE problem with the government freezing assets of its citizens for supporting a protest. Financial strong-arming like that is exactly why there's interest in crypto currency decentralization.

I don't believe crypto will ever gain traction in the real world. An occupation that local police cannot contain I believe all options should be on the table to eliminate the occupiers. Again, it's not a right or left thingy, I don't care from which camp the occupiers come from.

I'm glad you're not a hypocrite. But I disagree with all options being on the table. If we don't keep our government in-check, then they're liable to run roughshod over us. Today, it's freezing the bank accounts of those who support an illegal protest. Tomorrow, it's freezing the bank accounts of us degenerates who partake. After all, there are quite a few folks who believe this industry is a huge pockmark on society.

This is my fear if Pee Pee gets in and once settled in decides to finish off what Harper started!

What happened with the FREEDUM twats was a unique situation. They first started out with ludicrous claims of wanting to overthrow the government. They demanded to meet with Justin, like WHO THE FUCK do you think you are!! They were receiving funds from radical righties from abroad. They shut down bridges and a major city. To say it should have been just left to local police to get them out without using extreme measures is to say, that Jan. 6th was just a bunch of good ole boys exercising their right to protest on the Capitol.

Not really besides folks gambling on it with some making a bit and most losing a lot.

It's gained traction for scams and that is not a good look.

Maybe I'm wrong on this one but I won't be investing in it anytime soon

I doubt PP will go after sex workers.

Also in the end its up to police whether they will enforce prostitution laws.
If they feel its not worth it PP can take a hike

You're so right. It's not like they were former Nazis or anything: If they were, they would have been honoured by Trudeau and his government in Parliament!

Liberal supporters knowing their current government is on the way out are like teenagers knowing their parents are on the way home after being away on vacation.

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
Like he gives a shit. It's not his money that is paid out. It's ours. He has no concept of fiscal responsibility.

Sorry if this was brought up already, I just don't have the drive to read pages of posts today.
Wasn't there already an inquiry supporting the use of the emergencies act by Paul Rouleau in a 2000 page report investigating whether the federal goverment had met the threshold to invoke the act??

Rouleau who is a personal family friend of Trudeau and determined it was justified.
Nothing to see here 😂😂

You mean his Uncle then don't you?
Nope, he isn't.
Brother in law?
Nope he isn't.
Personal friend?
Investigated by an ethics commitee and shown no personal ties to the Trudeau family.
He supported and made donations to the Liberal party ?
Nope, no records of him making political donations, however his wife contibuted a $100.00 donation to federal Liberal leadership contender Gerard Kennedy in 2006.
He had ties to Jean Chretien?
Yes, Rouleau’s aunt Jacqueline married into the powerful Desmarais family, and her son Andre married France Chretien, daughter of the former Liberal prime minister.
Has Rouleau only ever been appointed by Liberal governments?
Nope, He was named a deputy judge on Yukon’s Supreme Court in 2014, under Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.

You are basing your comment on a claim that was based on one sentence, from an opinion article in the Calgary Herald.
It was found to be untrue. Yet picked up by twitter ETC. as true.
The sentence that has now been removed from it stated" The judge was a friend of Pierre Trudeau's going back decades, so of course this inquiry was a foregone conclusion. Rigged? Of course.
https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/c...aus-report-provides-roadmap-for-future-crises

Did you read any of the report, the actual report.
Here is a linK if you care to peruse it:https://publicorderemergencycommission.ca/final-report/
The report singles out failures of leadership by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Ford and his Solicitor General, the then leader of the Conservative Party, Candice Bergen, and future leader, Pierre Poilievre.
It also contains some recommendations, a couple are that the CCIS definition of threat be removed from the Act, and replaced by one that better captures what is meant by a public emergency; greater co-ordination between police forces regarding the use of information and the sharing of resources; and changes to the conditions surrounding the freezing (and un-freezing) of protesters’ bank accounts.

He included this warning" that misinformation is “inherently destructive and divisive,” and that its role in the unfolding movement was “pervasive.”

Kind of what you just posted.

Found the answer to my question.
Under the Federal Courts Act, the Federal Court has exclusive jurisdiction (subject to certain exceptions) to judicially review decisions made by the Cabinet under federal laws.
His mandate, under the act, is limited to inquiring “into the circumstances that led to the declaration being issued and the measures taken for dealing with the emergency.”
Since the investigation was performed by a federally appointed commitee, Justice Rouleau’s findings would not be binding on the Federal Court, and so Canadians ended up with two contradictory answers to the question of whether the government followed the law. His determination of this question would also itself be subject to judicial review in the Federal Court.
The final say will be with the Supreme Court of Canada.
