Canadian Judge Denies Bail to Trucker Convoy Organizer Tamara Lich for Mischief

[Red State] I have to give it to "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, being he got a couple of things right in the middle, three movies of the Skywalker saga. Well, actually the first three, which depends on if you start at the beginning of all nine films or go by release date — but more on that in a minute.

Earlier on Tuesday, I had written about a bail hearing to happen this morning for Canadian Trucker Protest Organiser Tamara Lich. She had been sitting in jail since her arrest on Thursday, and her bail and release should have been a matter of dotting some I’s and crossing some T’s. Here is that article.

As we are finding out here in the States, the Canadian system has a lot of checks but no balances.

My colleague Nick Arama covered Tuesday morning that vote that took place in the Canadian House of Commons Monday night, essentially giving Justin Trudeau UNLIMITED POWER, until they decide not to rubber-stamp Prime Minister Comrade Emergency Act and put him back in a box.

#1 Sadly, few Canadians complain about Trudeau's power.

#2 Looks like they are about to be to late to complain.

#3 We kept telling those old British colonies, never ever give you your guns. This is exactly why the 2d Amendment was made one the first 10 Amendments. Note well, it's the second ratified.

#4 Both the first and second amendments would have been more explicit if the founders could hear the nonsense being trafficked today. 1A is not about "freedom from religion." 2A is not about whatever ~~rationalized~~ contorted definition of "militia" the anti-gun left can dream up.

#5 How does Canadian law work - did passing the Emergency extension in the House of Commons suffice, or does it still need to pass the Lords?

#7 #5 - my understanding is that it was authorized/extended for 30 days

#8 When does the hand-wringing end?

#9 - #6 - The nightmare will end. "How" is the question.

#10 #5 and #7: The Emergencies Act must be passed by both the House of Commons and the Senate. House vote went through the way Turdeau wanted but the Senate vote was not held and won't be now that Turdeau has withdrawn the Energencies Act.

#11 thank you, #10 - CS - I am further informed ;-)

#12 Interesting that Trudeau reversed course so suddenly. I'm guessing that some of the grownups staged an intervention. Whether these were lawyers, banksters, or senators is a subject of speculation. I doubt it was Justin who came to his senses independently.

#13 Or so many people were bowled over with laughter after Trudeau's rant about "freedom" for Ukraine.

#14

I think this bit of trivia deserves its very own Rantburg post.

#15 Good idea, Bubba Lover of the Faeries8843. We’ll set one up if nobody submits and article.
