There was the strong likelihood that it was going to be shot down in the Senate and since the Senate rarely if ever has any balls, that alone would be that sort of major embarrassment.

I wondered if that might be the case.

And the little narcissist is trying to save face.

Have no doubt someone in the Biden regime contacted Trudeau, afraid of "contagion" spreading to the US (and I'm not talking about Covid).

And what about restitution for what happened in Ottawa and the people who already had their accounts frozen?

DEFEATED! Now Conservatives must never let any Canadian forget that

1) Trudeau’s justification for the Emergency Powers Act included all sorts of powers that he already had,

2) Granted him all sorts of powers that he couldn’t use only because of his defeat, and

3) Had absolutely no basis in law. He must be impeached. If the Queen allows Trudeau and Prince Andrew to remain free men, she must be rid of.

Wonder how much money banks lost during that? I bet folks will be pulling their money out faster than Canada can print new ones.

Let’s be real... if this were because Mission Accomplished, why did he submit it to the Senate just two days earlier? If it were going to pass the Senate, why not wait just a few days to see what else shook out?

The House of Commies did (Liberals, Greens and NDP yes / Grits and Bloc Quebec non).

The Act’s passage is stalled in the Senate who I think are delaying their vote so they do not have to get their hands dirty (which might, in part, describe why Castreau just “blinked”)

I dunno about that. He had a lot of support in the Senate. When those in opposition spoke, there was little reaction. When those in favor spoke, there were rounds of applause.

We’ll never know now since they won’t vote on it.

Sadly, no way in Hell. Trudeau’s party is actually the Center-Left one. The NDP is communist. Their leader, Jagmeet Singh, has been ridiculously over the top, saying nonsense like the Nazis have come to topple Canadian democracy and must be crushed like foreign invaders.

“Bank runs? Foreign investment pulling out?”

Klaus Schawb changed his mind.

Oh, ya!

He’s destroyed foreign investment for a VERY long time! The only potential investor would be the ChiComs!

My guess is that the Canadian banks have had $ billions pulled out of both their Canadian and foreign accounts. As the banks make up 20% of the TSE, I believe, the banks ‘squealed like a pig’ about the dictatorial act. Not so much about the Act (as so many big biz types in Canada support the Liebeals), as how the loss of investment will EFFECT THEIR BONUSES!

If Trudeau wanted to destroy Canada’s economy, he was spectacularly successful! The results will be observed over the next few years.

Perhaps, even more important to him, the list of contributors to the Freedom Convoy funds, was turned over to the little dictator. He has his ‘ENEMIES LIST’, for the NEXT TIME he enacts the ‘Emergencies Act’.

TRUCK FUDEAU!

All the way, WIPA (Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta)!

I believe basically Trudeau was bullied into doing the clampdown by The Biden Administration.

I believe that was the case for the protests that closed down border crossings, but I can assure you that nobody in Washington would give a sh!t if those truckers blocked every street in Ottawa for the next century.

Fate will take care of the Queen, very soon.

I wish her a peaceful passing.

There was no vote. They were in the second day of debate.
A couple of them were with Castreau at his presser and they look deflated. LOL They were soooooo looking forward to voting for dictatorship.

I’ll bet that the Canadian banks reamed the gutless little nazi a new @hole.

Bank runs? Foreign investment pulling out?

All of the above and probably more than we could guess.

I think JT sees Ukraine about to pop so he pulls the EPA hoping it will be drowned out by Russia's anticipated attack.

But it is too late, Convoy Toto pulled the curtain back and everyone saw the little man behind it.
