Eh, that's somewhat dubious on them being helpful. They were certainly there, but the value?
Um, he's right now lashing out at nonviolent protestors, and quite bluntly, serious progress has been made already in just shifting the national conversation. Just give it some time.
None of which seems like it will actually counter the 'Emergency Powers' grab that Trudeau and his ilk seem to want to make permanent.
Everyone knew that the Parliment would pass it, that's not in question. What is in question is both the court case as well as the next election.
You are assuming that the Canadian courts aren't effectively in on it too, and that the next election will 'fix' things, when it is a ways off, with plenty of time for Trudeau and his ilk to go full jackboot and do everything to make their powers permanent.
That’s assuming that you can get dissolution through parliament and not get told to fuck off
I think Parliament, in endorsing the Emergency Powers, has destroyed it's own legitimacy with a lot of Canadians.
That assumes most Canadians are willing to not go along with the status quo and are unhappy if a us president had invoked emergency powers it would have meant riots in the streets and a lot more powerful stuff happened while canada emergency powers seem to result In people going eeeehhhhh what ever (I don’t know for sure not Canadian)
True, I made that assumption based on how much support the Freedom Convoy got before the Emergency Powers came into play, as well as the way certain provincial govs actually did start meeting the truckers demands, even if Ottawa hadn't.
And a China boot locker too, unfortunately. Luckily, this year we have a chance to get a new President, thanks to our 1987 constitution, which only allows one term presidency for 6 years.
