Do you prefer a different term for "guilty" that would make you feel comforted in his defence?

Court has ruled Emergencies Act during Trucker convoy was unconstitutional
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
isn't "I hate Trudeau" enough?
"an eye for an eye" I'm sure that's somewhere in the constitution
Wish that Judge lived close to where this noisy disruption occurred for weeks on end, resulting in businesses being shut down and jobs lost!!
The Ottawa Citizens have the rights to:
Right to protest, but other rights too
There is a strong case being made for the right to protest by Canadians. But there are other rights to consider:
• Ottawa taxpayers’ right to have access to all their roads, businesses, condominiums etc.
• The right to go to work for people employed on Parliament Hill, at the Château Laurier, Rideau Centre or even Tim Hortons.
• The right of businesses to welcome customers and recoup their capital investment made on promises from the city for uninterrupted basic services.
• The right of tenants and condominium owners around downtown to have noise-free, hassle-free access to nearby roads and services and their own property.
• The right of all Ottawa taxpayers to have access to emergency services such as paramedics, fire and ambulance
• Even tourists have a right to access their hotels and the major Ottawa sites.

Two-thirds of Canadians support use of Emergencies Act and want Freedom Convoy cleared out: poll
Maru’s poll also shows that politicians who got behind the Freedom Convoy at any point can expect significant consequences at the polls in the future.
His report found that 68 per cent of Canadians believe that any politician who either contributed to or supported the protests should be voted out of office. Wright says some of the most profound change may come to municipal leadership in the cities most affected by the convoys.
“If you have supported this, it will come and haunt you,” Wright said. “The very volatile situation in Ottawa is actually solidifying the views of Canadians that if you’re on the wrong side of this, then you’re going to pay a significant price.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if some people now go into politics because of this,” he added.
A large majority (71 per cent) of respondents also say that Canada’s reputation in the world has been deeply hurt, going so far as to say the country is an “international embarrassment.”

as opposed to the government shutting down the whole country for months
"noisy disruption" of a few city blocks is not a reason for invoking Emergencies Act
I agree. It is the job of the police to remove noisy, illegally parked trucks. If they refuse, replace them. And if tow trucks refuse to remove illegally parked trucks, remove their licenses.
I do not know to which extend the Province is to blame for the police not doing it's job, but I agree that the emergency powers act is overkill.
Canada was not "shut down" by the Federal Government of months during the Pandemic. Take your gripe to the Ford Govt. and other Provincial Premiers who for once did the right thing.
After all lives are more precious than paper money!!
Even Ford agreed with the Emergency Powers, as he was helpless. After all it was his responsibility at a Provincial level that failed, and the Federal Govt. then stepped in!!
This noisy disruption including the blockages to the daily lives of the Ottawa citizens was of zero merit!!
Well this could be one that sways the needle back the other way, just when Pee Pee seemed to be breezing to a big win.
This will piss off a lot of Canadians!!
all levels of government not just federal
and locking the whole country down has created negative consequences that are just being felt now and will be for a very long time
Again, only the borders by the Federal and not the economies that were the Provincial responsibility!!
Once again locking the various provinces was to the benefit of lives and 100% correct!!
You just believe in Conspiracy Theories. After all money can always be printed........not lives. You are just displaying how you are naive not to believe in that simple fact!!
oh man...
it doesn't matter what you or I believe
don't you know that
“For the love of money is the root of all evil.”
What charade when they were also blockading the flow of trade of all goods including essentials like medicines and food between the USA and Canada?
