If We Had a Real President, Here’s How He (or She) Would React to Trudeau’s War on Canadians’ Freedom

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invoked the Emergency Powers Act against the Freedom Convoy, and as PJM’s Paula Bolyard noted, “Among other things, the Canadian government will freeze the assets of truck owners participating in the protests and cancel their insurance policies.” Since the protests have not been violent, as Trudeau claimed, his action amounts to a clampdown on political dissent itself and a serious strike at the very possibility of standing up to a tyrannical government.

If we had a President of the United States right now who was worthy of the name, he (or she — yes, it could be Tulsi Gabbard) would regard Trudeau’s action as far worse than anything Putin is planning regarding Ukraine, and would take a strong stand in defense of freedom.

Of course, nothing is much less likely than Old Joe Biden chiding Trudeau for his authoritarian overreach. The two Leftists see eye-to-eye on the Canadian truckers’ effrontery in demanding freedom, as Jen Psaki made clear Friday while reporting on their recent conversation. “The two leaders,” she said, using the term very loosely, “agreed that the actions of the individuals who are obstructing travel and commerce between our two countries are having significant impact on citizens’ lives and livelihoods. The president expressed his concern that United States companies and workers are experiencing serious effects including slowdowns in production, shortened work hours, and plant closures.” Psaki added that Trudeau “promised quick action in enforcing the law.”

Canadians should notice here that their PM didn’t do anything of substance when their own nation's capital was being disrupted by the protest.

But this all suddenly became a national emergency when a major trade route to the U.S. was blocked.

Turns out Canada is nothing more than a simpering little b!tch for the U.S. to exploit after all.

Fellow Americans Americans....”ALL”, On March 1st, 2022, the the Fake, Democrat, Illegally Elected, POTUS, Joe Biden will deliver his 2022 State-Of-The-Union Address to the members of Congress in Washington, DC. Although I am against boycotts....I for one, will boycott this verbal piece of lies, rubbish, etc. from this worst ever in American History POTUS...a fake one at that!!!

I also strongly urge all of my fellow Americans to follow suit, and ignore this Low Life, Farce, Failure as a Head Of State!!! If you wish to have Joe Biden removed from office by his own Democrat Party...then you must ignore his entire State Of The Union, Address...the he will deliver on March, 1st, 2022!!!

I also urge all Americans to send the same message as received here across the internet platforms where it will reach millions of Americans and millions of folks around the world!!! Do it today, and help save our once great country from this one hundred percent failure, Democrat, Joe Biden!!! Thank you!!!

“will boycott … State Of The Union”

Can hardly even stand highlights of Clinton, Obama, Biden SOTU addresses.

We have a CDL-A commercial trucker shortage. Canada has one that their government is about to make much worse by running a minimum 10% of its drivers out of business.

A smart US president would instantly offer work visas with automatic CDL reciprocity to every Canuck driver to work in our industry. Plus guaranteed citizenship to every one who completes a designated span of full time service. I wouldn’t worry about highway safety repercussions. Those guys are good.

Americans can be grateful that we do not have an Emergency Powers Act in the United States, although the Democrats have certainly found other ways to limit Americans’ freedoms. If we did have such an act, Old Joe would certainly emulate Trudeau and invoke it.

We have Article I Section 9 Clause 2:

The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

If Biden wanted to go full Trudeau, he would declare some trucker protest somewhere to be a rebellion against the nation and then suspend Habeus Corpus to protect public safety.

He'd become the second President to do so, but he wouldn't have the backing of a Civil War to attempt to justify it.

Oops...

I should have researched that last statement.

Grant suspended Habeus Corpus in 1871 in South Carolina.

No surprises from Screwdeau. Guy’s so predictable......a real yawner.

It’s what they did in Warsaw Pact countries. Classic Communist MO.

If you merely express an opinion a commie doesn’t like,
<><>your bank account is frozen.
<><>your insurance policies are nullified.

I guess trusting, lovable ol’ Biden willingly signed a
WP-era, “Treaty of Friendship”.....with his Canadian buddy.

The decrepit old fool is in full agreement with trudeau’s actions. The Alte Kaker would happily do the same thing in the USA.

C’mon, it was BeijingBiden that told Merkle’s little girlfriend what to do.

This is the dry run for Oct 2022.

Trudeau’s going after his enemies.

“Opportunity.” However, I’m not denying that Justin is nothing more than a simpering little b!tch doing Xiden’s handlers’ bidding.

Wait a minute…. That doesn’t look like my ex-wife!
