February 2022 The invocation of the Emergencies Act by Justin Trudeau should be very concerning to all Canadians, despite the fact that it was revoked barely 48 hours later. Oh sure, Trudeau and his ministers (minions?) were professing that the authorities granted by the act would have been limited in scope and for a “limited …

Trudeau Blinks, Revokes Emergencies Act

Categories:

February 2022 I’d like to ask all my Liberal friends, or for that matter, all Canadian Liberal supporters a question: how can you continue to support Justin Trudeau in the wake of his cancellation of the Emergencies Act, barely 48 hours after it was passed by Parliament? The same question should also go out to …

Welcome to Martial Law in Canada – This is what happens when an arrogant Prime Minister doesn’t listen

Categories:

February 2022 When the last of the protesters in Ottawa have either gone home or been arrested, an independent and transparent inquiry must be launched into the whole mess, including Trudeau’s implementation of the Emergency Act.

A failure of leadership

Categories:

February 2022 Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act is a perfect example of his failure as a leader. Invoking the modern version of the War Measures Act is a desperate act by Trudeau to save his political hide by making it look like he’s in charge and not caving in to “the mob.” One …

Divider-in Chief – Trudeau had a chance to show humility and he failed miserably

Categories:

February 2022 Could Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have been any less gracious? The recent trucker protest in the nation’s capital was more than just against vaccine mandates, particularly for cross-border truckers; it was more against the restrictive measures that we’ve all been subject to over the “two weeks to flatten the curve” and the …

Police action doesn’t always look pretty

Categories:

February 2022 While the rights of Canadians to hold a peaceful protest must always be protected, if politicians and the citizens of Ottawa insist that police move in and disburse remove the truckers and their supporters, it may not go smoothly. If I can offer Ottawa Chief Peter Sloly some advice, it would be that …

Drop the vaccine mandates for truckers

Categories:

January 2022 So let me get this straight: back in the beginning of the pandemic, when no one was vaccinated and PPE equipment was in short supply, and we really didn’t know what we were dealing with, truckers were considered essential workers and allowed to freely cross the border, thus ensuring that our store shelves …
