An Ottawa Police Staff Sargent is resigning effectively immediately, likely over political leadership’s mishandling of the Freedom Convoy protests.
“The National Telegraph has just gotten word from a source inside the Ottawa Police that one of their staff sergeants has resigned from his position today, likely over a disagreement with the city’s policing philosophy towards the Freedom Convoy,” the National Telegraph reported.
“This is a major development for the Ottawa police as senior NCOs are the core of any police force and enforcing anything without their leadership is extremely difficult,” the report added.
“The source also said that there are unusually high rates of uniformed officers taking stress leave, vacation days, and sick days,” the report noted.
“This is another indicator that people inside the police force are not happy with the directions they are receiving from their political leaders,” the National Telegraph added.
Justin Trudeau’s failed leadership is collapsing as even Liberal MPs are defecting to the anti-mandate side.
Canadian provinces are beginning to revolt and ending their vaccine and mask mandates. Justin Trudeau’s coalition in the Canadian parliament is even showing signs of crumbling, as a Liberal MP is announcing his defection from the pro-mandate side.
“Liberal MP for Louis-Hébert (a suburb of Quebec City) Joël Lightbound came out today and held a press conference about what he called the ‘politicization of the pandemic’,” the National Telegraph reported.
This morning at 10:15, I will be meeting the media to humbly share my perspective on the crisis we are going through, on the politicization of the pandemic, and to offer some suggestions. #polcan

“At this press event, Lightbound explained that he would not engage in ‘these easy and absurd labels’ to smear protesters and believes the truckers and their supporters have legitimate concerns,” he added.
Lightbound explained at his press conference that over half of Canadians want the vaccine mandates and passports lifted.
⚡️ MIRACLE ⚡️
LIBERAL MP Joel #Lightbound stands up to @justintrudeau and perfectly explains why 54% of Canadians want vaccine passports and Covid mandates lifted.

Another Member of Parliament, a conservative in the House of Commons from Manitoba named Raquel Dancho, laid into Trudeau in an impassioned speech for being so far behind other advanced countries in concluding that authoritarian Covid policies don’t work. Watch:
“There are millions of Canadians, millions of them that have been deeply ostracized from society,” Dancho said. “And when you don’t listen to those people, they mobilize. And we’ve seen protests across this country for over a century and rightfully so, we have the right to peacefully protest. And I would ask the protesters outside that they do their best and stay vigilant, to stay peaceful.”
“But we are seeing other governments around the world step up with lower vaccination rates and say, ‘Look, we hear you, you’ve been traumatized. We’re moving forward. Here’s the deadline, this is the plan. No more mandates, no more masks, no more distancing. You can travel, you can live your life, you can hug each other again. Here’s the date. This is the plan. Here’s the thresholds,” she added.
“None of that in Canada. Absolutely none of that from the Prime Minister,” she went on.
“People have been traumatized and they’re mobilizing because they need some hope, they need somebody in this house of privilege to come down from our ivory towers and say, ‘Okay, little people, we hear you. So sorry we’ve traumatized you for two years. We’re gonna step up and we’re gonna give you some hope. Here’s a deadline.’ The member opposite is laughing,” she noted.
“The people in this house are incredibly privileged,” Dancho added. “You’ve kept — pardon me, that member has kept his job. Thousands of Canadians have lost their job. And he’s laughing about his privilege, his own privilege. What has he done to serve members that are marginalized during this pandemic in his community, Mr. Speaker, but laugh at them in this House of Commons? Shame on that member.”
“I would ask this government to do everything they can, I asked them this two years ago in the House, go to other countries, see what they’re doing, what are the best practices,” she went on. “How is it that other highly advanced, developed nations like the U.K., Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, how — the United States, how is it that they have all the same tools we have, they have all the economic resources we have, they’ve done — their citizens have done all the work and made all the sacrifices. Why is it that those citizens get a plan for hope of when we get back to normal, when we get our lives back, when the people outside — you think they want to be here, Mr. Speaker?”
“Those people don’t want to be here,” she said. “They want to be working. But that right was taken away from them. When is there going to be a plan from this prime minister? When is there going to be compassionate leadership to say, ‘This is it. You’ve done the work. Here’s the tools. We’re moving forward.’ Our public health doctors have told us as well, it’s time to move forward, it’s time to revisit these harsh mandates and divisive policies.”
“Mr. Speaker, I will just end on this and — I’m very passionate about this, I think we all are from our different perspectives, but I will say, I will continue to be a bridge builder to reach out, to try to understand where others are coming from, and I would — I would — it would just be incredible if we could see members of the Liberal Party, the Prime Minister, do the same,” she concluded. “Time to build a bridge, Mr. Speaker.”
Far from being a bridge builder, Justin Trudeau had made incendiary statements and threatened the Freedom Convoy with state force if they did not end their peaceful protests.

“Individuals are trying to blockade our economy, our democracy, and our fellow citizens’ daily lives,” Trudeau said. “It has to stop.”
Trudeau also shows no willingness to lift the vaccine mandates, signaling ominously that they are preventing more coercive measures.

“I can understand frustrations with mandates, but mandates are the way to avoid further restrictions,” he stated.
Trudeau is only just beginning to understand people’s frustrations as both police and politicians defect around him.
Some good news ping.
Justin Trudeau’s coalition in the Canadian parliament is even showing signs of crumbling, as a Liberal MP is announcing his defection from the pro-mandate side. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We need a non confidence vote in the Trudeau governments handling of the 2022 Freedom Convoy. Then we need an immediate national election.
Trudeau has tried to reconstruct Canada as a Utopian socialist nation under cover of public health regulation. Canadaians love their Freedoms. And they are having none of the Trudeau Cabbage Patch Communism of Ottawa.
Bye bye Justin, go back to teaching drama.
Justin Trudeau’s failed leadership ,LOL You can’t lead when you’re hiding
If he loses the Communist NDP he’s toast
Canada is locked into the postwar euro mentality that a group of elites in a bubble does all the thinking for the little people. It works, sort of, until there is a problem requiring leadership. They are elites, not leaders.
In one corner, the battle-hardened road warriors of the Freedom Convoy.
In the other corner, Trudeau and his effete lackeys.
Place your bets.
And then ring the bell.
Lightbound sounds sane, OMG
And then ring the bell.
And HONK the daggum horns!!!
He is losong both NDP coalition votes and votes in his own liberal caucus. Representative Lightbounds defection from the liberal cabinet was a big one. Lightbound was in charge of the Quebec delegation.He resigned today.
The Communist Cabbage Patch of Ottawa is starting to shrink.
RE: “mandates are the way to avoid further restrictions”
That one requires further explanation, but Trudeau doesn’t bother explaining what he meant.
The source also said that there are unusually high rates of uniformed officers taking stress leave, vacation days, and sick days
is worth
Kamala Harris wrote that line for him.
“Further restrictions”—like Concentration Camps?
God bless these Canadians. They love their country more than we love ours
Brave Brave sir Justin Bravely ran away.......
Is that how they spell “Sergeant” in Canada?
LOL! You stole my thunder. I was waiting for an opening to quote our illustrious VP’s most famous statement - one which will follow her throughout history :-)

The tow truck drivers saying they would love to help but they were all sick with Covid was funny.
Some people are of the firm belief that you have to follow unlawful and just plain wrong orders. No, you don't.
