Nothing shouts "mandate from the people" and "We're winning!" like declaring war on your own country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDMPDWt5vg4

This is what declaring "martial law" means. Take note because this is a historical moment in Canada's history happening right now.

The "Emergencies Act" has never before been invoked in Canada's entire history, and now he does it for a large-scale peaceful (not 'mostly peaceful' because that involves shooting, looting and burning) protest?

It depends how you look at it. You could almost say his country declared war on him and he was simply acknowledging it.

Declares martial law, but never once showed any willingness to discuss and address the protesters concerns. It's like he's running the Chavez playbook by rote. It's generally a defining feature of tyrants that they will always kick and flail right up until the bitter end.

Never once showed willingness?!? Isn't that what the government's open debate stage is for to discuss such concerns in a relaxed manner so both parties can come to terms? Do you really believe that he has the time to go outside and talk to each and every protestor to magically change all the laws to make each and every one of them happy? They should be protesting in front of their direct representatives and should probably spend more time helping their representatives create an ideal constructive solution.

Don't mistake Patriots for Tyrants, tyrants want to control other people against their will and lock them down and tax them into their misery. Patriots want to establish freedom and make a carefully select set of laws that are required to maintain a constructive and happy country. Obviously, there's no way to please everyone, so maybe it makes sense to frequently take turns handing off the power of the government to the other party so people don't build life-long grudges and massive government parties form with zero desire for negotiation. This is why there should always be empathy and a somewhat lax middle ground where defendants can make their case.

Also what the hell is martial law anyway? Are they going to arrest people if they don't follow it? What if people refuse to follow that, is there a martial-martial law where eventually the law enforcement goes home and it turns into complete anarchy/ military dictatorship.

Where does the article say the military is involved in the use of the Emergencies Act? No mention of military control of people's movements, associations or even curfews. I don't think you know what Martial Law means if you equate this abuse of government power for acts of military control.

Agree to disagree. We have a suspension of civilian rule of law. One definition of martial is governance by some kind of armed forces, another is warlike governance... I think this fits the later. Trudeau thinks they can bring the military in whenever they want and civil liberties are suspended... i don't know what more you want.

Apparently Trudy thinks he could, from BBC:

While Mr Trudeau has said that "everything is on the table", he has maintained that military involvement would be a last resort.

"We are a long way from having to call in the military," he said on Friday.

“This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of the illegal blockades,” Deputy PM Christia Freeland added.

“Consider yourself warned. If your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended. Send your rigs home,” she said, adding that the government’s powers would include cracking down on crowdfunding sites, making them register with the government and freezing the assets of those involved in helping to fund the protests.

Question: So, if the truckers don't go home, and they put all the truckers out of business, who do they think is going to deliver the groceries?

[–] [deleted] • 3 pts

Trade delay tactics. These include an ad hoc arrangment of various “incidents” to create a “perfect storm” or situation whereas trade comes to a standstill. Strikes, blockages in canals, pricing, inflation, pandemic rules, price of gas, all of these manipulations are intentionally trying to slow down the American economy (and the economies of its serrogates) to stretch out and lengthen the time to fully implement the grand strategy.

Ah. I see. And people not having any food to eat, or being able to feed their kids is going to convince everyone of just how wrong they've been and they will suddenly love the government again. Got it.

All politics is local politics. This is how politicians end up spending their last few minutes looking down at the pavement between their feet, in a slowly swinging arc, about three feet down.

Bingo. The truckers could protest from their own home. As long has shit isn't being moved, the machine will be hindered and eventually grind to a halt.

It's actually just a small minority of truckers protesting. Goods are still being delivered. Sure, the industry is already short drivers, so it is a strain, but it's not like the vast majority are striking.

The optics are much, much better when the truckers are in a large group in front of parliament.

I suspect they'd nationalize those industries.

Uh-huh. Because that always works out so well. See: Venezuela.

How exactly do you "nationalize" people's individual efforts? How do you "nationalize" a guy who's decided to say "Fuck you all" and sit at home on the couch? How do you "nationalize" his truck, which is currently sitting out in the driveway with some "transmission problems". Do you think that the Canadian government possesses the transportation capacity to feed millions of Canadians if the trucks stop? Because I can tell you right now, they don't. They are about to find out what real "logistical problems" look like. The way the Germans did on the Eastern Front.

Only way to strike back where the Elites live now is to target the banks. I mean every proverbial brick has to be torn down in their banking system. Starting with a good old-fashioned bank run. Everybody needs to take all of their money out in cash.

Next step is painful, but we have to stop working for these Elites. That means hard times because they hold the reins in the financial sectors. But if only retards and crooks will work for them, they will see what they view as "hard times" too, in that their profits will be greatly reduced. They will still have their massive piles of fiat currency, but they will not be able to afford to purchase the one thing they prize more than yachts or mansions or jewelry: The service of competent working-class people. Without us, their jets won't run, their mansions fall apart, their yachts become unseaworthy. Without us, these helpless entitled clowns starve in a pile of hundred-dollar bills smeared with their own filth.

Trudeau needs to face a military tribunal for his terrible attempts at leadership and horrific crimes.

Communist Castro fuck.

Trudeau's government is Fascist. Change my mind.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Awww, a chip off the old block of daddy Castro and Cuba, what a model asshole. Their congress should dump him now or there will likely be bloodshed and it might go on till it's Trudeau's own blood. Just saying someone's getting to big for their britches and needs his spoiled attitude fixed by taking his privileges away. He's flying off the handle and he needs to be put in his place not abusing the citizens constitutional rights, not privileges BUT absolute rights he cannot take away from a cold virus scare. We all know and we're just waiting for them to come clean or indicate to the more aggressive ones they don't care and will continue and then shit hits the fan after bullets hit shit. Then bye bye, I know you know we all know but it's not hopeless by a longshot.
