1. Canada had an election 4 months ago.
2. Vaccine mandates were on the ballot.
3. There is no food emergency or even shortage.
4. The anti-vax convoy seeks to overthrow a democratically elected govt over a lie.
5. Prominent members of the Opposition support them.
It’s argued that the Emergencies Act was unnecessary bc prov authorities always had the powers to enforce the law.
What if the emergency IS the failure or refusal of authorities to act?
As our gaze is fixed on Ukraine tonight, I for one am extremely grateful that Canada’s capital was cleared so that our government can function unimpeded through this nightmare.

@gofundme
must give a full accounting to Canadians of all funds spent enabling an unlawful occupation of our capital, costing taxpayers millions & harming the lives of thousands.
For anyone unhappy with the extent of these powers, please remember that the provincial governments and policing agencies could have stopped this in its tracks 2 weeks ago.
Patriotic Texans donated to Canadian truckers’ worthy cause using GoFundMe. This BLM-backing company went woke, froze the funds, & failed to deliver Texans’ money. Today I assembled a team to investigate their potential fraud & deception. Texas donors will get Justice!

America, which was never invaded, found it a lot easier to forget the lessons of WWII
Europe is showing us with every hour that it remembers everything.
Ottawa police chief Sloly: there is evidence of firearms/weapons coming into the trucker demonstration. "That is one of the major risks we are trying to mitigate"
What could the protesters do that would be so crazy that even the CPC would denounce them?
Because sitting at a news conference and discussing overthrowing the government with their help isn’t doing it.
What if there was an enemy attacking us that killed 35,000 Canadians in 2 years—
And all it took to defeat it was for all of us to get a needle & wear masks inside.
Remember when this was about fake empty shelves?
And border rules that made zero difference bc of US policies?
Or provincial mandates that Trudeau had nothing to do with?
But still you encouraged these people, knowing full well their intent.
I'm disturbed & saddened by what we are seeing today in Ottawa. This situation was created by the PM & his desire to divide Canadians. It’s time for MPs to return to the House tomorrow to stop the overreach by this government & restore unity, wholeness & hope back to our nation.

In the amount of time it takes to bring a new pipeline to approval & build it, Canada could build massive solar, wind & battery capacity.
And so could many other countries.
In the 90’s NL lost 12% of its entire workforce due to cod fishery collapse.
Ontario lost 300,000 manufacturing jobs 2005-15
BC forestry in free-fall.
We hear you AB, because we have been there before, even if you have not.
We just didn’t threaten to split up the country.

What a condescending, smug, ignorant woman. People losing their jobs, their homes, people committing suicide...and she refers to this as Alberta temper tantrums. Could you be any more out of touch in your Vancouver home?
Do not be distracted by noise.
By an overwhelming majority, Canadians voted for vaccine mandates.
226 ppl died of Covid yesterday, almost all preventable by vaccines.
The anti-vax movement is anti-democracy and pro-Covid.
What’s going on with O’Toole, Kenney et al, goes far beyond what we used to call “spin.”
Which was fair ball, in politics.
These are actually lies now. Open lying. A very bad sign for our institutions that this has become acceptable at the highest levels of the Conservatives.
We’re accustomed to a world where police & military use guns & tear gas, not banks.
So clubbing and gassing citizens is normal, but cutting off their supplies is an outrage against human rights.
Be specific.
Disavow Rebel Media & Cdn fake news sites. The Proud Boys were founded by Canadian Gavin McInnes, then of Rebel Media.
You said nothing while they agitated in violent far-right events for years, & their co-founder managed the CPC’s last election campaign.
Both 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 had elections during Covid.
The right wing parties lost both.
RW supporters rioted/occupied both capitals.
Both movements overtly sought to block/dissolve the elected govt
Leaders of the losing parties TACITLY APPROVED both efforts.
The convoy will be noisy for its 15 minutes of fame.
The dead are silent forever.
Remember what elected Opposition members did, and who they did it for.
Remember when various of us repeatedly warned about the dangers of Levant & Rebel Media?
And most large platforms were like, “best to ignore them & deprive them of publicity.”

If you want to be Prime Minister of Canada and there are organized swarms of trolls harassing our pensioners on your behalf, maybe you're in the wrong line of work.
Awful times, beautiful people. Thousands of Romanians drove to the border with Ukraine to pick up refugees and offer them a ride and a place to stay. Queues on one side to escape, queues on the other to help.

Ok, I am going to be so happy to see the end of 2017, but one bright spot is finding
@RVAwonk
’s incredible work & Twitter network.
So I interviewed her for my last piece of the year:
Not a lot of mention that Meat Loaf was an anti-vaxxer who died of Covid.
Not to make that big a thing of it, but it seems relevant to obituaries and tributes.
Heard from a pensioner who tweeted a fairly anodyne post critical of a Pierre Poilievre policy...
And has since been swarmed by hundreds of anonymous trolls.
Is this how it's going to go,

The reason Pat King should be detained before trial is not because of his objectionable conduct, but because his release poses an unreasonable risk to public safety.
Of course Rebel media accosts Greta Thunberg in her Edmonton hotel, shows its exterior and other identifying details.
Aka doxxing her location.
Meanwhile Canadian media defend them as journalists.

Hello Vaxxed people. Honest question here (as I fully support your decision to get vaxxed), how do you feel when showing your vaxx passport knowing it excludes people?
#BREAKING

Canada owes you.
Ahhhahh!
Moneypot is gone, lawsuits being served, time to lawyer up, cowboys.
If you thought Trudeau was f**king you, wait til you meet YOUR OWN LAWYER!!

Since when does Canada tell a combat veteran, military helicopter pilot, founder of Invictus Games supporting wounded veterans that he & his family are not welcome here?

What’s most frustrating about this is that the best tools to solve this haven’t even been touched.
Suspend drivers licences. Use civil forfeiture to seize vehicles.
Immediate dominos are MV insurance & bank loans.
Do it 10 times & 95% of protesters will vanish.
Your party ran an entire election campaign on the niqab and “barbaric practices tip line.”
Your campaign director co-founded Rebel Media.
No skating away today.
Freedom has come under attack in New Zealand as peaceful worshippers are targeted in a despicable act of evil. All people must be able to practice their faith freely and without fear. 1/2
