Are these the people who like to give lessons to other countries about democracy and freedom?
This is one of the top ranking countries in the “democracy index”?

Trudeau invents an emergency
Canada’s government seems to care only about maintaining control and saving face
It was the hot tub that did it. Photos of convoy supporters relaxing in a hot tub on a downtown Ottawa street last weekend were splashed all over the news. Now Justin Trudeau is mad and he’s gone and invoked war measures, known as the Emergencies Act. He wants that hot tub off the streets, pronto, and he needs wartime powers to get it done. Civil liberties remain “temporarily” suspended… just for two weeks, while we flatten the protesters!
Freedom Convoy Responds To Trudeau’s Latest Threat, Sets Up A Coming Clash
As the government attempted to remove the Ambassador Bridge, the Freedom Convoy staged a strategic retreat from Ottawa. The thinking appears to be that it does no good to have those protesters arrested and their trucks impounded when they can reinforce what’s happening in Canada’s capital.
Trudeau’s Canada: Stagnation. Inflation. Division.
Invoking the Emergencies Act in response to a situation he caused and inflamed is a tacit admission of his complete failure as a leader.
Jordan Peterson warns Trudeau against ‘violat[ing] your citizens’ charter rights’ over Freedom Convoy
Famed philosopher and Canadian sociology professor Jordan Peterson has been one of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s most outspoken critics over the latter’s treatment of the Freedom Convoy protests, declaring Friday that Trudeau “can’t stop a decentralized movement with bluster, threats or force.”
Trudeau Tries to Get His 16% Favorability Up With Martial Law Against Truckers
Two recent polls show Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s favorability is at 16%. The truckers are more unpopular than popular at 44% approval but they’re doing better than Trudeau.
So, to get his numbers up, Blackface Justin is declaring martial law against the truckers.
Real Conflicts And Wagging the Dog
A manufactured war opposite a foreign tyrant to distract from the real resistance to tyranny at home here and elsewhere in the world?
Great article by Dana Loesch – covers a lot of ground.
Why We Care About the Canadian Truckers and what it means for America’s future.
… As the Ottawa police failed to disperse the truckers and their supporters, the media pressured a pathetic-looking Trudeau–who’d fled the city to hide in a still-undisclosed location–to crack down on the Freedom Convoy. The Emergencies Act would be a major escalation, allowing the government to take a degree of power reserved for wartime or for serious emergencies and disasters.
Trudeau himself, together with state-controlled (or elite-sympathetic) media, tried to prepare the ground for this unprecedented move by slandering the Freedom Convoy and its supporters for weeks as racists, white supremacists and fascists.
Tinpot Trudeau speaks about invoking Emergencies Act to deal with trucker protests
They’ve gone full Nazi.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce the next steps the government will be taking to deal with the ongoing trucker convoy protests and blockades, after spending the morning consulting premiers on invoking the Emergencies Act which would grant exceptional federal powers.
Trudeau has scheduled a 4:30 p.m. EST announcement and media availability on Monday, alongside several key ministers including Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, Justice Minister and Attorney General David Lametti, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, and Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair

Process Nerd: PM to invoke Emergencies Act. What’s next?
It hasn’t officially happened just yet, but with multiple news outlets reporting that Justin Trudeau may finally be ready to become the first prime minister to invoke the Emergencies Act to deal with the rolling cross-country anti-vaccine mandate protests, here’s a quick overview of exactly how that might play out in the parliamentary arena.
For starters, a quick programming note: To keep this from turning into a novella-length treatise on the law itself, we’re going to skip over everything that happens before an emergency can be formally declared, other than to note that there is no requirement that the government get the go-ahead from Parliament before doing so — or, indeed, from provincial premiers if the effect of the order would “extend to more than one province.”
