One thing that might help and we have not seriously tried this, is to stop focusing on hating and blaming each other for being on the "wrong" side politically and start uniting to achieve our goals. Freedom from mandates, freedom from masks, freedom from perpetual global surveillance, are all aims we have in common, right? So why do we always end up back in the blame game which wastes time while accomplishing nothing.
Actually that is not true about the bold.
It seems that many people want the masks, want the mandates, want to be safe no matter what the cost is to freedom.
If they weren't causing the rest of us so much grief, I would feel sorry for them.
Question for Emperor Trudeau's apologists - why does Tucker Carlson pointing at something we can all see with our own eyes somehow make whatever that thing is invalid?
Trudeau invoked Emergency Powers, and he did it because he wants to use what Americans would call unconstitutional force to make a political PR problem go away. That is LITERALLY using one law to suspend other laws that limit his powers, and that is dictatorial/tyrannical.
We can debate the merits of national leaders assuming dictatorial power and also debate what defines a worthwhile national emergency, but what cannot be denied is that Canada has in fact given dictatorial power to their Prime Minister so he can ignore any law that might limit his ability to use force against this truck protest.
Just don't know why Tucker Carlson pointing it out changes the actual reality. I think Don Lemon is a freaking halfwit toolbag racist, but when he pointed out obvious crap like Trump is an obnoxious assclown, it didn't make that basic reality somehow untrue or not real.
Bottom line, for as long as Canada has this emergency powers thing that allows Trudeau to suspend/ignore laws that would stop him from using force and violence against what are essentially his political enemies, Canada is in fact a dictatorship. That's not opinion, it's applying the definition of words to a real world, present day reality.

This is the only comment in this entire thread that didn't make me feel dumber.
PS: It is only despotic when I disagree with it. Everyone knows that.
When one person has the power to ignore/violate the duly passed laws, and they can act unilaterally according literally to their own whims? Yes, that is indeed a dictatorship.
That Trudeau had dictatorial power granted to him is irrelevant to the fact that he does in fact have dictatorial power, at least until some trigger event takes that power away.
Under a dictatorship, Tucker Carlson would find himself and his family in prison, doing hard labor, or worse for saying such a thing. It's fairly evident he's a rampant sensationalist.
Happened so fast? No. America lost most of its power in 1919 with the establishment of the Fed. When you sign over the management of money to international bankers, you lose leverage. From that time forward, we have had invisible dictators.
International bankers and the wealthiest families on the planet run the entire globe.

Straw man and false equivalency.
Dictatorship means one or a small group of individuals having absolute power, without constitutional limitation, in any sphere.
In political science terms, Canada is currently a constitutional dictatorship. Look it up. The United States is as well anytime they declare martial law, invoke emergency powers, etc.
You are using a false equivalency - which is defining dictatorship to some WW II era, Hitler-esque caricature as the ONLY definition of dictatorship, and then using it as a straw man argument that tries to debate a point Carlson never made.
