I am seriously wondering if the turnout of protesters tomorrow will be increased or decreased by the activities of Trudeau's brown shirts. The woman who was trampled is supposedly a Mohawk. That is going to reopen a lot of old wounds among the Metis.

Oh, Trudeau is properly ****ed and this will only end with a new prime minister.
A sad day for Canada indeed. Trudeau joined in with BLM protesters in June 2020 but refused to meet with protesting Truckers in Freedom Convoy 2022 - see WSJ editorial below.

'A sad day for Canada': 100-plus arrested as police in Ottawa target Freedom Convoy
by Barnini Chakraborty, Senior Investigations Reporter | February 18, 2022 08:01 PM
OTTAWA, ONTARIO More than 100 protesters, including four organizers of the Freedom Convoy, have been arrested as law enforcement and tactical teams from multiple Canadian jurisdictions worked Friday to clear demonstrations in the capital city.
Hundreds of truckers and thousands of protesters have flocked to Ottawa over the past 22 days to protest COVID-19 restrictions.....

Trudeau's Destructive 'Emergency'
The truckers protest could have been handled without abusing the law.
By The Editorial Board Feb. 18, 2022 6:37 pm ET
When former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau invoked emergency powers in peacetime in 1970, he was accused of "using a sledgehammer to crack a peanut." Fifty-two years later, his son, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has repeated the mistake.
The truckers protest against vaccine mandates, vilified by Mr. Trudeau as "racist" and "violent," has been peaceful, but not every peaceful protest is legal. Blocking roads and border crossings disrupts lives and commerce. Government's job is to maintain public order while respecting civil liberties.
Canada has failed on both scores. For weeks authorities tried to wish away the problem. When that failed, Mr. Trudeau overreached, invoking new powers before Canadian jurisdictions had tried to enforce existing law. Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly was a progressive reformer. He criticizes the "reactive enforcement model" of policing, and when truckers took over his downtown, he failed to react. Mr. Sloly resigned Tuesday.
On Thursday Ottawa police, with provincial and federal help, finally came out in numbers, blocked highway exits, set up a perimeter and checkpoints and arrested blockade leaders. All of this could have been done under existing law. On Friday police began mopping up the protests methodically, with occasional scuffles and use of pepper spray. This too could have been done, albeit differentiating between the lawful and unlawful, and without threatening media with arrest for covering the action.
Mr. Trudeau justifies the "public-order emergency" by inflating the protest into a terrorist plot to overthrow government. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association disagrees and sued Thursday. It says the standards for an emergency"threat or use of acts of serious violence against persons or property" that "seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians" beyond "the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it"are not met.
Protests aren't emergencies, and Western leaders had better get used to handling civil disobedience firmly without traducing civil liberties. Mr. Trudeau criminalized a protest movement, deputizing financial institutions, without due process or liability, to find and freeze personal accounts of blockaders and anyone who helps them. These extraordinary measures are a needless abuse of power.
Toronto limited the problem by closing downtown roads. Blockades at crucial border crossings were allowed to drag on and cost the North American auto industry hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet when police finally acted, border blockades dispersed peacefully, no emergency powers needed. One ended with handshakes between police and protesters.
Weak responses to civil disobedience have hurt Canada for years. New gas pipelines are increasingly stymied by blockades, often by green or aboriginal activists. On Thursday men wielding axes attacked a pipeline drill site and its workers in British Columbia. That's worse than anything the truckers have done.
In early 2020 Mr. Trudeau urged dialogue with pipeline blockaders. Facing Black Lives Matter protests in violation of Covid rules in June 2020, Mr. Trudeau joined in. But with the truckers, the Prime Minister refused to meet or compromise. Even as province after province ends Covid restrictions, he drags his feet.
When the Emergencies Act was first passed, critics were assured "emergency powers can only be used when the situation is so drastic that no other law of Canada can deal with the situation." In abusing these powers for a nonemergency, Mr. Trudeau crossed a democratic line. Canadians wanted the blockades to end, but it never should have come at the expense of the rule of law.

I have been a lifetime friend and supporter of law enforcement. I grew up around great family friends who were chiefs, sergeants, etc. I still have family & friends in DHS, DPS, local cops, etc. With that said, I am now onboard the defund the police train.
This new crop of law enforcement seems to be embolden by control and being controlled themselves. They are quick to turn on the only side that supports them and are blinded in their quest to keep their measly paycheck. If we eventually are going to have to go up against the libs (ha) and their blind enforcement arms, we may as well agree to defunding the police at every level. We as conservatives don't need the police to survive, anyway.
Let the cops lie in the bed that they have made.
**** 'em.

Even worse. Will the masses rise up against this particular police brutality?

I understand the need for force in situations where you have a mob bent on destruction.
After a sporting event and people are turning over cars,
During riots when things are being thrown at police and fires burn all around.
This really has me torn as well.
I may be missing some videos but I have seen no real violence from these protestors.
I may not agree with them arresting protestors as they have been doing prior to this but that part is their job and within the law.
Beating people when they think they are out of view of the public and running the horses right thought the crowd are criminal acts no matter what "side" you are on.

Edit - I agree with most of what you said. With that said, the rules were changed to allow them this freedom to beat "free" people. Why shut it all down to debate? This is a mess and a joke. There is no law, even in Canada that allow this. These emergency powers needed approval, but why get it when you can do whatever you want? Castro Jr needs to be swinging from a tree -- that is the only thing to stop other tyrants.
Trudeau must go. And the rest of his henchmen. It's the only way out now.The Chicken Ranch said:
The Canadians need to overthrow their government.
I anticipate that JT's increasingly ruthless and physical aggression against the truckers and their many supporters will soon result in fatal violence, with JT and his government and municipal cabal being the eventual losers who are assigned primary responsibility for the tragedy that is now boiling.
Castors kid took a knee and the blm protest ! Literally took a knee ! And he can't even talk to the people that make the whole countries economy run ? This guy should be tortured the rest of his life. What an absolute ****ing tyrant
I support the protest and don't care for the crackdown, but 29 across the nation seems rather paltry to report. Fortunately invoking God's judgment trumps numbers. You don't break up a protest without having to go to Hell.WolfCall said:

The churches are torn here, nearly down the middle. Its no different than many families. Large swaths have bought into the Covid narrative, allowed their church to be shuttered, took the vaccines and now are unwilling or unable to come to terms with what they've done.
Hope everyone took a long hard look inside their safes tonight. That is our last defense and it's coming here.
I find it interesting the left hyperventilated about Trump supposedly instituting a "police state" - but when an actual police state rises up right across the border, their silence is deafening.
Not Catholic, but awesome message from Archbishop Vigano re: Canadian Truckers:
Quote:
"If we do not limit ourselves to consider what happened in individual nations, but broaden our gaze to what has happened everywhere, your protest, dear Canadian truck-driver friends, joins a worldwide chorus that wants to oppose the establishment of the new world order on the rubble of nation states, through the Great Reset, designed by the World Economic Forum and by the United Nations under the name of Agenda 2030. And we know that many heads of government have participated in Klaus Schwab's School for Young Leaders, the so-called Global Leaders for Tomorrow."

Greg Abbott' taking notes.
Fat ****.
Look bro, Abbott wasn't the best at the beginning of the "pandemic." But I think we all should acknowledge that we had no idea what was happening. I wasn't in favor of the shutdown, but I was "ok" with "2 weeks to flatten the curve." I think Abbott did ok, and he's better than the alternative, being Beto.
Was the lady on the scooter OK but the other guy that got trampled killed?
This can explain the confusion.

Hope one of those logging trucks gets driven through the front door of a police station.

Better yet, I hope the logging trucks get to the police station and parliament and other strategic spots in town like the bridges and dump their loads of logs.
"I swear officer, I have no idea how the forks opened up. Must have been a faulty hydraulic valve."
Talk about an epic mess to clean up. It would certainly shut down some roads.

2 weeks? Seriously? All of you with no memories are why we all keep getting duped as a movement. Wheels had us locking down until almost fall. Closed the state parks down at almost 2 months in. You know, state parks, those closed in incubators of disease? Of course he's better than Beto, Einstein. But there's a primary and I'm just about to go vote for whomever I feel has the best shot at unseating this phony.

Legacy media lying about protestor violence. https://t.co/1dasThN1dN
FYI
I'm seeing claims that the protestors are "violent" "have caused property damage" etc.
I have yet to see any proof on video of this happening.

That may be what happened.
There is one report of someone having a "heart attack" but this is the person that was under the horse in the trampling photo.
Their justification is that the protest is being held by "white supremacists" and "mysoginists" but they've shown no evidence of that being true.
Trudeau and the modern American democrats are the same. Lie about your opponent and attempt to destroy them by taking away their healthcare needs their ability to survive.

Shouldn't those cowards have their name/badge numbers on their uniforms? Or do Emergency Powers give them a pass?
