Brah, no. Not even close. Ask any American that has moved abroad, or north. The great country you once were, started backsliding in 1980. Since Reagan, it's been slipping into the past, eroding everything that millions fought & many died for. This ain't it brah. Not even close.

Clownvoy occupiers are protesting again today, on Parliament Hill. Why? We stand on the precipice of WWIII. All mandates are ending in the next few days. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT MANDATES! THEY ONLY WANT TO OVERTHROW THE ELECTED GOVT!

I've had enough of the willfully ignorant harping on about the current national debt; CERB, CEWS, PPE & vaccines were necessary tools for saving lives. Would you have let people starve & die? Don't like Trudeau? Fine, you don't have to, but stop hating for necessary debt.

Hi, I'm a working class Centretown resident of downtown Ottawa. I've witnessed thousands of protests here in my 54 years. PEACEFUL protest is welcome. Unruly, obnoxious, ignorant, fascists are not welcome. Wanting to remove the elected Gov't is seditious. Don't like things? Vote.

Ok, so the following may upset some people: please, I beg you, please, Canadians, stop saying/tweeting "God given rights..." The Charter wasn't written by any deity, it was written by 3 men. Your rights are not God given, your rights are given by former politicians, all human.

I read something today that rang true: Conservatives will refuse food to 100 people because 1 person doesn't need it, Liberals will feed 100 people to make sure the 1 person that needs it, gets it. That makes me a Liberal, no party affiliation. (was written by a US prof).

No, no they were not. They were aggressive with me, a Centretown resident, when I took to the streets to yell at the occupiers after not having slept for 5 days because of the noise... The red carpet was rolled out for people who don't live or pay taxes here, while we suffered.

It will be an epic fail: Cadillac Fairview has closed the mall.
Which, means, the 'protest' has done the EXACT opposite of opening. People will lose a 2nd full day of work.

Assaulting my neighbours, demanding a person remove their mask, yelling freedom in my face, threatening violence... None of that is freedom, that is fascism. All mandates have been lifted. This "protest" is just hate directed at the PM. Nothing more. 'tis a waste of time & $.
