Theoretically, the Canadian Senate could stop the declaration of Emergency by voting against it or not voting by the end of the seven day limit required by the act.

The emergencies act has been used to criminalize actions which were legal when done (sending money to support the truckers) and uses extra legal punishments such as freezing bank accounts and cancelling insurance of those who disagree with the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

Yep, I brought up the ex post facto implications yesterday. Any thinking person should be utterly horrified by this, even more so because it is a law against a persons political belief in the past.

What is insane is no one, not even the punditry is talking about that aspect. Making a past belief illegal now and finding you guilty for it.

again, ABSOLUTLY TERRIFYING.

The Senate

Canada’s Senate consists of 105 politicians, known as senators, who have been appointed by various Canadian prime ministers. They used to serve for life, but in 1965, this was changed to merely make their terms last until their 75th birthday (though the last life-term senator did not retire until 1999). Senators can’t be fired by the PM, but the Senate can vote to remove members from office if they are found guilty of committing what the Constitution describes as an “infamous crime” (this has never been done to date).

And I thought ours is bad...

What can the people to when the government goes rogue? I ask the same question for America because they are no longer “by and for the people.” Oh no as Biden said in a possible honest moment of clarity through his foggy mind:

“The government is ‘we the people.’”

Canada’s people can do something? Trudeau has made them non people including stealing their money, their trucks, businesses, dogs and at times their kids.

What is next?

Who will stand against a dictator, when with a nod to an underling, a political opponent's bank accounts can be frozen, with no recourse?

Big city politicos are still pissed about the disruption of their morning latte commute.

What, did you guys think that Treudo was the only Nazi in Canada?

To end tyranny, citizens must exterminate tyrants

When there is law made up as you go, you have a state of tyranny

So there are close to 200 Communists in the Canadian parliament. There are no longer any Democrats or Liberals. Do the voters in Canada like the fact that their government has stripped them of their rights?????

A blockade does nothing.

If the truckers are serious, they should call for a nationwide strike.

The Emergency Act makes it illegal for non-Communist groups to protest.

The only way to defeat this absolute tyranny is war. Hitler had the rule of law behind him too.

Apparently, the most dangerous place is to be between a politician and their ability to gain more power. It doesn’t matter what costs are incurred, it’s all about power for me!
