I’m not sure that will happen unless Trudeau goes personally and shoots.

He does want to destroy them though ... that can now include seizing trucks (those rigs are worth over $100K), confiscatory fines, loss of license and certification, jail time ...

I still support the protest, I still say their rights are being violated, but no judge in the country will sympathize with that right now ... the whole system is rigged against them

If the truckers go home now, all that can happen.

One would assume that since Joël Lightbound bucked his leader, he will vote against it. I think there might be two or three other Liberals as well that are on the fence... Erskine-Smith may be one, Powlowski may be one and Robillard is another. However for them to actually vote against the government on what is essentially a non-confidence motion is probably too outrageous to think about it.

One of the Greens is Morrice in Kitchener....not sure about him.

Derek Sloan is the independent you are thinking about... He got ejected from the Conservative caucus when he and O’Toole didn’t see eye to eye anymore. I think he will vote with the Conservatives on this.

Our federal elections are paper ballots. Counted by hand. In a controlled area.

Nice try.

“So what do you want? To see them go down in a hail of gunfire?”

You expect the Canadian government to gun them down?

Abstentions are worth something, but unless the vast bulk of the NDP takes that way out with a smattering of no votes from the Grits and the NDP, he’s safe. A snap election with no conservative leader and Trudeau likely in fact extremely unpopular would be very interesting.

I found an article from 2 different sources that Cananda had federal vote fraud in 2011, but the elections were not overturned. Sounds familiar?

Not just Canada but all of civilized humanity. What’s the end? Accept absolute oppression? Nope. Win a revolution? Nope. Find a practical solution? Nope. Bad people turn good? Hell no!

No way out of this. A real cliffhanger.

When the rallies start in the US, a lot of people will die.

The US cops will be more brutal and lethal than the Canadian ones.

God help them and us.

Politicians are running fast first into our police officers......this won’t stand for long at all. Bad enough politicians have to tangle with the public but you go against our police, our military and any of those who protect us then you’re asking for trouble.

actually it is likely canada has gotten a lot of technical advice from the US.

the freezing of accounts etc. is almost certainly in the playbook here. as well as threats about social media/support for trump (that seems like it slipped into their talking points from material originally intended for use in the US? or maybe just sending a message to the US trump supporters).

once a republic is rotten enough to let power be captured in a way that does an end-run around the checks and balances, it is over, one way or another. In our case, I don’t even think an organized entity able to resist the System exists. main issue now is the form the pogrom will take. canada probably going to give us some idea of where things may go here.

If only the police or FBI had done all of this to BLM and Anti-fa when they were going wild, we wouldn’t be having the problems we’re having here in the United States. Wow.

Well the last Canadian federal elections that Trudeau and his party only won one third of the vote, were in 2021, not 2011. You are a good 10 years off the mark.

Sound like the Canadian people need fire support.

Police are preparing to use acoustic weapons against the protesters. I understand that the LRAD being used may be military equipment. If true, this is shocking. This is Trudeau mounting civil war against unarmed, peaceful demonstrators.
