    "You don't tug on Superman's cape (Trudeau isn't virtuous like Superman). You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask of the ole' Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with the two-bit-dictator Trudy (Trudeau)."

    Like most authoritarian politicians Trudeau is learning he is not in charge.

    How many will be hurt or maimed in the process?? You think anyone was sane enough to defy Hitler, for example? I see this thing in Canada as similar to a Hitlerian situation.

    BTW, what's that analogy where everything is compared to Hitler?...Oh my God it's...

    One thing I will say about the Pandemic, it has exposed the left as the socialists they really are. They want government to encompass everything and be in total control over everything and everyone, for the good of the people. Rights be damned. We know what is best for you and you'd better toe the line and show your papers, otherwise you will be banned from going outside your home and fired from your jobs. You will get no government benefits, become homeless and destitute, but the government will take care of the poor who are vaccinated.

    If you don't like dictators, you presumably wouldn't want him to unilaterally end the vaccine mandates, against the will of Parliament?

    I don't know about Canada but the president in America is supposed to veto authoritarian bills that violate human rights and the constitution.

    Ah yes, how dare the sitting executive demand the violent removal of protesters. It’s not like some of those protesters happen to be black. No, if they were black they would have been trespassing and needed to be removed weeks ago.

    I would have thought that in any democracy, legislators shouldn't be bringing and voting for constitutionally illegal legislation in the first place, and the courts would be the primary check in the event that they did. Regardless, it clearly isn't agreed whether this bill is an egregious breach of human rights or the Canadian constitution (not that I've heard either argument even attempted) but even if it was, I don't think their PM would have the right to unilaterally dismiss it on that basis.

    My point remains that the protesters are calling Trudeau a dictator (which he literally isn't) yet appear to expect him to take dictatorial action to meet their demands. To legally reverse the legislation would require either parliamentary and/or court action. I'm not convinced the protestors really care about rights or the law though, they just want their demands to be met, all else be dammed.

    Ironically, I'm not convinced the mandates are required any more and wouldn't feel strongly about them being removed. I do feel strongly about economic blackmail being used to force political changes though, even ones I agree with (since next time, it might be one I oppose).

    Yes, that's the way rights work. Legislation doesn't mean **** when it comes to what I choose to put in my body. If legislation brought back slavery, it would be illegal and anyone enforcing slavery would be violating human rights. We would have every right to oppose them,not only as a right, but as a duty.

    Trudeau is being called a dictator because he is supposedly giving himself power to sieze peoples bank accounts and livelyhood. Also, he has stated, on video, a love for dictatorship. He is what he is. It wasn't just because of the mandates.

    Yes, I sang it....
    Trudeau is a sad example of leadership, IMO. There are ways to deal with people who have a subject to protest, and dictatorship like qualities of Trudeau is not the recommended path.

    As said in an old comic strip, The Wizard of Id: Knight: The peasants are revolting! King: You're telling me.

    Just for fun I went back and looked up some of the threads back from when BLM and some other liberal groups were blocking highways during protests.

    It's amazing how partisans can change arguments verbatim. It's almost like alot of people really don't care anything about authority, and the execution thereof, or the right to protest.

    Seriously just put block highway in the search and scroll back to 2018 or earlier it's funny so much high minded sanctimony only to flip a few years later.

    You inability to align perspectives between months of looting and rioting with January 6th was claimed to be "because insurection".

    You are proving here, as was guessed, it has nothing to do with insurrection, and everything to do with partisanship.

    People can burn buildings, loot, riot and you have little to say or condemn because their agenda aligns with your own.

    People block a bridge and OMG! racists!

    What a joke.

    ... Trump, the bad orange man.


    I recently heard that Trudy could be the illegitimate bastard love child of Fidel Castro, which would make perfect sense as the Apple did not fall far from the tree

    I keep reading over the quote that you just posted specifically looking for the word we and I can't seem to locate it.

    I didn't use the word "we" in my post, not once.

    But nice deflection for typical left wing hypocrisy.

    Your analogy is a false analogy because my answer depends on:
    (1) If the majority of Canadians (democracy) want the Canadian gov't to unilaterally end vaccine mandates...That answer has yet to be determined which is why I consider the Canadian truckers' strike unilateral and/or authoritarian because the truckers, for example, won't move until their demands are met.
    (1A) If vaccine mandates actually do any good...I know 'expert' epidemiologists think this is true but to a critical thinker like myself I'm not so sure of the answer.

    Side note: I see the strife between the Canadian gov't and the Canadian truckers as an authoritarian confrontation from both sides with neither side being willing to give in and certain bloodshed and heartache to be experienced by the truckers...I think the truckers need to quit while the quitting is still good.

    Actually, if you're referring to the US (which I think you are), no one in power in America thought what you posted. In fact, everyone in power in America thought the opposite of your post.

    Lafayette Square. Trump posed for a photo with a Bible. According to Sec of Defense Esper and General Milley this was so outrageous and terrible use of military power they stayed on to make sure Trump would never do anything similar to that again.

    Can't defend your position that people who back the Canadian truckers wouldn't back the truckers if they were black?? Why are you changing the subject??
