#1 " The vast majority of Canadians are vaccinated, and the COVID-19 death rate is one-third that of the United States" numbers you can trust.

#2 Trudeau is accused of bringing 'martial law' to Canada with his declaration of emergency to crack down on Freedom Convoy and freeze protesters' bank accounts: Mounties arrest 11 and 'find cache of weapons' at border

#7 death rate is one-third that of the United States
Infection rate per population is about 1/3 US too, but deaths per infection are about the same.

#8 And Canada went from turn in your rifles, please, to North American Gulags in, what, four years too?

Pondering.

#9 It does not seems as if the Emergency Powers applies to this situation. Bottom line, Canada learns that its PM (Troodo the Turd) is a tool and tyrant. I don't think we have seen the end to pushback.

#10 Standard question by which you will be able to identify all non-state media in North America going forward: "Do you feel the measures taken in Canada were overreach and will you commit to not doing similar in the future?"

#11 It is on-its-face disproportionate response, and sullies the actual use of an emergency measure.

And to have Turdo and Witchmore tin can on about the loss of trade is laughable bullshit when everyone knows they both have spent 2 full years destroying trade.

Somewhat related after discussing the disarming of New Zealand and Canada and about four years later:

President Joe Biden kicked off the week by using the fourth anniversary of the deadly school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., to double down on his calls for harsher gun control.

Hmmmmmmm. Wasn't that hog fellow's father FBI or something?

#12 Read a good point; because this is not a real emergency like being invaded, or Nova Scotia sinking, meteor strike, Gamera coming ashore, then this is a social credit score attached to your bank account.

#13 ^ it's here. We really need to detach and drop out. Separate from these sick mofos. Create our own institutions: our own companies, internet/digital infrastructure, our own schools and colleges, our own law enforcement.

Create our own currencies and bank transfer mechanisms, and secure our own supplies of food electricity and water.

These assholes are insane. I never imagined that we could actually live through such a dystopian nightmare as this.

Time to separate from these monsters.

#14 Another noticed, "Went from monitoring for potential drug laundering, to you will starve in the cold, pretty quick."

Again, went from small fringe minority to Holy Shit I Need Absolute Power to Crush Them!

#15 Re #14. Start w/ separation of School and State.

No direct government funding of any kind at any level of government for education, Preschool through PhD, except perhaps for those who are wards of the state.

Ban state certification of educators.

#16 I am curious how these "emergency powers" will keep Canadian grocery stores stocked. Stay tuned.

#17 Did Canada block Hydrochloroquine the way they tried in the US? I mean if they did better i imagine they'd be yelling it to the rooftops and claiming Universal health Care was the difference.

#18 Let me get this straight:

By law, and by law I understand there is no law concerning covid shots and protocols, only declarations, this action must be submitted to and approved by Parliament within 7 days.

IIUC correct, Justin the Techy's approval was in the shitter even before this dictate. IIUC neutrals and even nominal allies are going, "Dude, that isn't what that button is for."

Is it possible here that Justin the Techy, trying to look tough for his wardrobe man, actually set the amount of time the convoy only needs to hold out?

#19 GiveSendGo hacked, donors doxxed. Canadian Broadcast Company shows its ass, acting as inquisitors.

#23 Authorities seized 13 long guns, handguns, sets of body armor, a machete, a large quantity of ammunition, and high-capacity magazines.

Possible false flag operation to justify the Emergency Powers?

#24 Suspicious timing for sure.

Machete? Really?

#25 It should be noted that with as deceptive the media has been, it could be that a Blamtifa cell was about to do more than attempted vehicular homicide, something which couldn't be poo-poo'd, busted them, and framed the operation as if it were Trucker Joe pulling an ATF Valentine's Day operation.

#26 Machete? Really?

Perhaps kudzu has extended its range further north than we realized. Who knows what with the border being closed the last couple years.
