There seemed to be a proportionally noticeable amount of parliament members who expressed support for the nullification of lockdown regulations when Stephanie Kusie began to speak a week ago as Trudeau was leaving. Why there is the need to perpetuate them when so many Canadians have already been injected is odd.

No, it's been on the news all morning that the Senate will meet Friday to discuss the Emergencies Act, and to no one's surprise, opposing politicians are speaking up against Trudeau and positioning themselves.

You haven't been paying attention.

"The protesters have since gathered in central Ottawa near Parliament Hill, and their demands have grown to include ending all such mandates nationwide and opposing the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau."

This isn't really about the truckers. This is about trying to overthrow the government.

But you were okay with that response to a protest, right?

First, you think the immediate area surrounding a church that was burned by leftist anifa types wouldn't be cleared before it was surrounded by temporary fencing?

Seriously?

Second, which houses of worship have the protesting truck drivers set on fire?

Y
Good, I hope they vote against it. They should throw that man-boy out on his ear just for suggesting it, the tyrant.

Also read up on how alt-right groups who want a coup have joined in the protest.

The reason for the Emergency Act is that provinces, like Ontario, needed help, from the federal government.

In fact, Ford the premier of Ontario, a CONSERVATIVE has supported the use of the act.

Finally, suppose Trudeau lifted the vaccine mandate at the border. IT WOUDL DO NOTHING since the US has the same mandate, and that would still be in place.
You may be surprised to learn I’m against all COVID mandates so…

And what vaccine mandates exist at the southern border into my state of Texas? I’ll tell you, none! And he’s let in well over 2 MILLION people since Biden has been president. Yet if Biden had his way we’d have the mandates you have (only for us citizens though).

lies lies and more lies

I have watched over 40 hours of live un-edited on-the-ground footage in Ottawa, nobody can accuse me of not paying attention. From the horse's mouth,

Watch 46:50 to 47:15 and from 48:35 to 49:15 , head spokesman Benjamin Dichter clearly states objectives:

Not sure why you are bringing US politics into this.

Mandates work and support in Canada, the proof is in the numbers.

Your'e funny.

Watching 40 hours of live video, being captured by who?

I know people who are actually in Ottawa, they tell a very different story about what the signs say, and how some of these protesters acted.

Listen to this truckers list of demands. It's not just the border..but all restrictions, and the ArrivCAn app.

He is full of sweet words, and exaggerations.

The fact that Trudeau has NOTHING to do with vaccine passports, is lost on them, and makes them look foolish.

So are you going to call this protester a liar??
