It’s wild to me how police will say they don’t have the authority to break up Nazi rallies until they “do something illegal”. University students, homeless people or visible minorities on the other hand are never an issue.
Unrelated, but your avatar looks kind of like goatse
they enjoy hurting young people and the homeless. and they agree with the nazis.
i would know, im related to one.
A growing trend? Or a part of our heritage?
Can’t it be both?!
Fucker. You’re right. There is a third way, what if we kissed under a smashed state?
only if you share one with me, comrade
These same people did likely applaud the illegal removal of the convoy, now they want others to respect their right to protest. This is why rights are important, and why someone disavowing those rights is extremely dangerous no matter where they stand politically. You can’t pick and choose who gets to keep their rights, their rights are your rights and your rights are their rights.
Sure. But let’s also acknowledge something crucial here: the government ended up resorting to illegal tactics for convoy removal because of a systemic failure by various levels of government to coordinate and apply regular laws (cf. Rouleau commission report). A less sympathetic/more cynical reading of the situation is one that can very well argue that the complete set of failures was because the police and the province were in fact politically sympathetic to the maple MAGAs who were imagining a Jan 6 type far right insurrection. The maple MAGAs of the convoy were very much skirting the edges of the Paradox of Tolerance, and thus acting decisively to end their convoy before the converged/crystallized to an insurrection was appropriate, from the point of view of the Paradox of Tolerance.
The fact that this kind of precedent is used as a hammer to also hit legitimate nonviolent and disobedient movements (e.g., indigenous blockades, university encampments), is hardly surprising, but also not causally attributable to it. These movements have always faced asymmetric policing! In other words: even without the illegal precedent, the trampling of student movements would still be happening, because the police and governments are hostile politically to the students in ways they were not to the maple MAGAs. To flip the argument around: the Rouleau commission found that the existing legal frameworks were adequate, i.e., they still are…
So an emergency act was justified due to mischief charges that the police were supposedly failing to police. Thats all it takes for you to give up your rights, something akin to loitering.
That’s not what I wrote.
three main groups broke the law. first, the protestors, blocking traffic, assaulting locals, breaking various bylaws. like litering, loitering, sound pollution, obstruction, etc. generally speaking, disturbing the peace.
and later on it was found out that there was mass fraud, and funds being sent to gofundme’s meant for the convoy, which were syphoned off by white supremacists groups that were then linked to the january 6th insurrection in the united states, primarily the proud boys. but for now, that is beside the point.
then the police broke the law, by not enforcing the law, because many of the police were politically aligned with maple MAGA and were sympathetic to their movement. they didnt punish infractions, or keep lanes clear for regular traffic or emergency services, such as fire trucks and ambulances.
then, due to the original laws being broken, followed by the laws broken by the police refusing to enforce the laws, the government then decided to break the law, and declare a national emergency, escalated the issue drastically. and stopped the convoy.
so. nobody was innocent. everybody fucked up to a degree. but it set a precedent.
however. the real issue was caused by the vast amounts of misinformation that was being pumped via american social media companies and independant news groups, during trumps presidency. who wished to destabalize our country so that we would be put into a sore position that could be taken advantage of in the future.
this is why we are currently in a trade war with the same president they had back then, who has consistently spoken about annexing us economically, and making canada the 51st state.
also, this maga/maple maga movement, powered by the qanon movement, which was birthed on 4chan /pol/. was a deliberate manipulation and right wing psyop created by epstein and his group of pedophile billionaire pals years in advance.
its in the epstein library on the doj website if you want to read it yourself.
essentially the entire modern far right movement was created by epstein and co. which is hilariously ironic. as it is sad and disturbing.
Well I’m glad the ruling wasnt made by you, any protest is going to have bad actors, and dissolving peoples peaceful right to protest due to noise and traffic is a silly justification. I dont agree with their protest, but I do stand by their right to protest, just as I do the people protesting Gaza or Iran or anything else.
Except the truck convoy became illegal when you prevent any traffic flow, as well as disobeying other bylaws
So mischief charges given to singular individuals was enough to justify suspending everyones democratic rights, and that it was okay to lie about national security to end the threat of mischief?
It was found to break the charter, so clearly the courts disagree, likely because they are unbiased and apply laws in a non-partisan fashion:

I didn’t suggest government did tur right action, tyry should have had police disband it like any other blockage protest
Jizzrael controls the world.
Um, no they don’t.
