One Canadian's response to Trudope declaring war on the citizens of Canada. 'He is a despot and will be judged harshly by history as all of them are.'
From Vox Cantoris
Make no mistake, this is what Justin Trudeau has done by invoking the Emergencies Act. Implemented in 1985, it has never been used, not even after 9-11. It replaced the infamous War Measures Act used three times, both world wars and the Quebec FLQ terrorist actions which involved bombings, kidnappings and murder, invoked by his father, Pierre. Arguably justified given the circumstances at the time and the inability of the Quebec provincial government to act.
The declaration is a violation of the very law itself. It is for when all else fails when no law exists to deal with the crisis. Laws exist at the municipal and provincial levels to clear the protest in front of Parliament. I support it, but being objective, people have the right to protest, not trucks. Noise by-laws exist at the municipal level, regulations on outdoor fires, blocking roads. For various reasons, the City of Ottawa and its police chose not to enforce existing laws. Why? Why did they not block the trucks from neighbourhoods and parliament by redirecting them through road closures as happened in Toronto last weekend? Did they not know they were coming? Everyone else did. We stood on bridges, embankments and roadsides cheering them on. It was all over, everywhere, yet, Ottawa was caught off guard. The situation at the Ambassador Bridge was another matter, the bridge should never have been blocked. That being said, it was cleared peacefully and with 46 arrests. The Court Order - Injunction, was sought by citizens of Windsor and the Auto Parts Manufacturers Association of Canada. It was clear, no blocking of roads and bridges, arrests would follow and the arrested would be released without charges if they pledged in writing to obey the Order, protest was reserved to public space not blocking the roads. The judge was reasonable in balancing the right to protest against the public good - free speech does not enable one to yell "fire," when there is not a fire, in a crowded theatre.
Justin Trudeau has not proven that this declaration is remotely necessary. He refused to even speak to those he declared as racists, misogynists and unacceptable.
He is a despot and will be judged harshly by history as all of them are.
