“meant to combat violent enemies in an active state of war”

NOT A GIANT TAILGAGE PARTY!

[BusterDog]

Within seven days, the government must receive a “motion for confirmation” from Parliament. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has indicated that he is likely to give Trudeau the votes he needs to do this.

The act is intentionally vaguely worded. It has few specific powers listed in it, leaving its decrees to the prime minister’s cabinet to make.

We must caution ourselves against hyperbole in situations like this, but it is difficult to understate the severity of Trudeau’s actions here.

The Prime Minister of Canada has for all intents and purposes, declared war against what he deems to be a domestic enemy insurgency.

How can and must we respond to this? In short, we must make ourselves ungovernable. We must openly and brazenly defy the orders of the state at every opportunity that does not involve violence, property damage, or harm to others. In other words, civil disobedience.

So this is his declaration of war against them people.

[MtnClimber]

Declaring war on his own countries citizens.

[Veto!]

What a ridiculous little pronk.
That’s my dainty ladylike way of saying what I mean, and the word also fits.

“(a springbok or other antelope) leap in the air with an arched back and stiff legs, typically as a form of display or when threatened.”

[cockroach_magoo]

Trudeau described the protesters’ crime as “unacceptable views.”

Orwell was close, but the current dystopia will not be enforced by thought police. It will be enforced by Trudeau’s thought military, under declaration of thought war.

The Emergencies (War Measures) Act is an extraordinarily authoritarian piece of legislation, meant to combat violent enemies in an active state of war with Canada.

[bigbob]

Clearly the situation doesn’t not justify martial law, can the Canadian courts intervene? Will they?

[Rummyfan]

Trudeau is showing true desperation. Wha happens next I don’t know.

The Emergencies (War Measures) Act is an extraordinarily authoritarian piece of legislation, meant to combat violent enemies in an active state of war with Canada.

Now used against his own citizens who are peacefully protesting.

The truckers should stand down. Then, the next day they should follow the Polish playbook: general strike, totally nonviolent. Truckers, warehouse workers, and anyone who would join them should immediately do so. It’s not illegal to do NOTHING. They can shut the country down by just sitting at home watching hockey and drinking beer.

[Celerity]

It’s OK. He said it was only temporary.

And he wants it to be temporary. He said he wanted everyone to know that.

And his fellow elite politicians also said, with quite a heavy heart, it will be temporary.

They promise.

Smuggle guns.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Castreau is going to war with his own citizens. 🙄

[VetoBill]

“active state of war”
This is why the Ukraine war narrative is being pushed so hard. It will be very tempting for Trudeau to claim the truckers are acting on Russia’s behalf.

[Political Junkie Too]

The state has abdicated its legitimacy in any violent approach to ending this. When Occupy Wall Street protestors camped on public property for months on end, they were allowed to do so. When IdleNoMore and anti-pipeline protestors blockaded rail lines and bridges, the police did nothing. But when truckers and farmers do so — demanding only a return of their fundamental freedoms — they are vilified by the government-funded media as “racists”, “terrorists”, and agents of Russia.

Any claim by the government-funded media and the state that these protestors have no right to be there is abrogated by their previous acceptance and even support for other causes doing just the same thing.

Instead of dealing with the truckers as peacefully and understandingly as leftist protests that camped in public spaces, Trudeau has decided to declare martial law.

Says it all.

Leftist leaders protect their own, and demonize their opposition who do the same thing.

Suggestion: General Truck Strike. Refuse to deliver to Ottawa, and Toronto. See what happens in three days.
