Justin Trudeau’s crackdown on protests under an Emergencies Act order specifically exempts refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants and other ethnic minorities.

Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
You just can’t make this up. The timing is exquisite.

Blue State Blues: Justin Trudeau, Third World Authoritarian
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau showed this week that it’s not only African countries that need to worry about collapsing into authoritarianism.
His decision to invoke emergency powers simply to deal with protests that have been almost entirely peaceful was completely without justification, and was based partly in the fervent desire of an urbane cultural elite to assert its political power against a working-class, rural lumpenproletariat.
Trudeau’s Harsh Response To Peaceful Trucker Protest Is A Fool’s Move
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invoked Canada’s Emergencies Act to treat like terrorists the trucker protest in the capital city of Ottawa and at key Canada-U.S. border crossings. Citing a “public order emergency,” Trudeau can now deploy the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, forbid any public assembly, control private companies, cut off supplies, and seize bank accounts to stop the “emergency.”
“Without a court order, banks will be able freeze personal accounts of anyone linked to the protests,” noted Aaron Kheriaty.

Canada’s political earthquake
Take a walk around downtown Ottawa, and you’ll find nearly 400 trucks and RVs blocking the main roads of Canada’s capital city. You’ll see a hundred protesters or thousands of protesters, depending on the day.
There’s a sauna; there are games for children. You might come across the row of port-a-potties that was installed by one of the protesters. There’s a bouncy castle and a stage for live music.
You’ll likely see flags that say “F*** Trudeau,” referring to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and you may even see one of the swastika-stamped Canadian flags that were floating around in the early days of the protest.
Canada’s Panicked Government Engages in Undemocratic Theft
Apparently the rule of law doesn’t matter if Justin Trudeau doesn’t like your peaceful protest.
Emergency powers, threats to freeze the finances of peaceful protesters, and smearing critics as terrorists—it has to be China, right? But no, it’s our neighbor to the north, under a leader with a bad case of China-envy. For all the world to see, a panicky Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is throwing a tantrum over protests against restrictive pandemic policy that warns us how quickly an established democracy can lose its mind. It’s an advertisement for the value of cryptocurrency and other means of escaping the reach of the financial police state.
Part of Canada’s problem is that the country has rarely seen large numbers of people take to the streets in opposition to government actions. As a consequence, officials and some members of the public are wigging out over what would cause people elsewhere to shrug.

FUREY: Liberals cite CBC ‘analysis’ to justify freezing bank accounts
The incredible powers that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has given his government to freeze people’s bank accounts is based on their reliance on “analysis” from the CBC.
This is according to a 14-page document the government tabled in the House of Commons Wednesday night detailing the supposed rationale for invoking the Emergencies Act in the first place.

House of Commons sitting cancelled as police ready action on protesters in Ottawa
OTTAWA — The House of Commons will not sit Friday to debate emergency measures the government has brought in to deal with the protest just outside its doors that is entering its fourth week.
A note from Speaker Anthony Rota says the sitting is cancelled because of a police operation expected to take place by Parliament Hill and other locations around Ottawa’s downtown core.
The note goes on to say that anyone not in the parliamentary precinct should stay away from the core until further notice.
Outrage as Trudeau’s justice minister compares Freedom Convoy donations to ‘terrorist financing’, says donors are part of ‘pro-Trump movement’ and threatens to FREEZE their bank accounts
Justice Minister David Lametti made the remark in an interview with CTV News Channel on Wednesday night, where host Evan Solomon pressed him on whether average citizens who donated to the protests should be worried about account seizures.
‘If you are a member of a pro-Trump movement who is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars, and millions of dollars to this kind of thing, then you ought to be worried,’ said Lametti.
Can’t wait to see what they try with Elon Musk.
Is there a bank run underway in Canada?
Looks like TD Bank in Canada might be experiencing a bank run after freezing accounts which received money from the GiveSendGo campaign.
We Just Lost Canada: Ottawa Police Chief Warns Citizens Against Participating in “Unlawful Activities of Engaging in Demonstrations”
On Thursday Chief Bell told reporters the Ottawa police are “ready to use methods people are not used to seeing in the capital.”
Chief Bell then went on to ad that he will not tolerate Canadians participating in the unlawful activities of engaging in demonstrations.
The Freedom Convoy isn’t what’s ailing Canada. Justin Trudeau is
The “Freedom Convoy” isn’t a Canadian “problem.” The prime minister and Canada’s Laurentian elite are.
The protests have inconvenienced many, but they have exposed what ails the country. It’s governed by a party that won only 32.6 per cent of the popular vote, with a public badly divided among five other parties. The Liberals have dominated politics for decades, backed by the well-heeled establishment in Montreal, Ottawa and Bay Street whose careers, incomes and businesses are linked to the party and who disdain rural and Western Canada. Such attitudes led to Justin Trudeau’s rebuff to the truckers when he pledged that “we won’t give in.”
Justin Trudeau’s phoney dictatorship
Relying on emergency powers reveals his weakness
When Justin Trudeau invoked emergency powers to quell protests against mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations this week, it was another sign that for Western liberal democracy, business as usual is over. This is the first time Canada’s Emergencies Act has ever been called upon by a Prime Minister. Its predecessor, the War Measures Act, was used three times: once for World War One, once for World War Two, and once to deal with a violent campaign of bombing, kidnapping, and murder by Quebecois separatists in 1970.
Just Watch Me
“Yeah, well there’s a lot of bleeding hearts around who just don’t like to see people with helmets and guns. All I can say is, go on and bleed, but it’s more important to keep law and order in this society than to be worried about weak-kneed people who don’t like the looks of a soldier’s helmet.” – Pierre Elliot Trudeau
Is the Canadian Government Starting a Civil War?
Trudeau to protesters: If you don’t let our government make your health decisions, we’re willing to shoot you.
The Premier of Ontario has declared what he calls a “state of emergency” to justify the Canadian government’s removal of the truckers and their trucks from Ottawa.
Others, however, could view his statement to more closely resemble a Declaration of War.
You decide. I urge you to watch the video of the Premier’s statement for yourself.
According to the Premier, each trucker they arrest will face up to one year in prison, have to pay fines up to $100,000 and may likely forfeit their trucks to the Crown!
