Are you denying that the Canadian federal government is leaving in place these "tools" that would freeze financial assets of their fellow citizens iff "they" determined that they were a risk? I watched as Freeland (what a name) delivered the announcement. Your country is now no longer a free democracy.
i'm not denying, although you and i don't know the details yet, so it is hard to confirm what it really means. the gov already has the ability to freeze accounts, without need for emergency act in some cases, and with the act in others. i think the "tools" they are talking about have to do with crypto and crowd funding, as we don't really have anything in place besides the emerg act for either, but we shall see.
i'm not sure we were ever a "free" democracy as you put it. neither is the usa as far as i can tell. i'm not sure any country is. depends on who you ask.

However the Canadian government has stated that certain "tools" that were used during the Emergency Measures would be permanently put in place. The ability to freeze corporate and or personal financial accounts on anyone "they" determine to be a threat, i.e. peaceful protesters. That is no Democracy that is Tyranny.
"peaceful" lol.
"tyranny" lol.
it's almost as if you have no idea what you are talking about...could it be?

What part of Toronto? I have friends who live in North York and they have not mentioned it when we discussed how screwed Canada is
near queen's park. seemed reasonable to me. people were getting through they were just making sure we don't do ottawa again.
and don't worry about Canada, we discuss how screwed the usa is too.

"Trudeau has" lol. I was in toronto this weekend and there were checkpoints there too...have been there the past few weekends in several cities in canada. makes sense to not allow what happened in Ottawa.

Denied bail for counselling mischief? If you think that is reasonable you and I will never agree
There are many reasons to deny bail, and she failed in three ways: the bail judge determined she is a flight risk, her surety was unreliable, and she is highly likely to reoffend.
And counselling mischief is plenty serious when it leads to what happened in Ottawa.
Mischief alone can lead to 10 years in prison in canada (although that would be extreme). counselling many people to do crime is likely more problematic than that.
We dont have to agree, I cant say I have enough info into what she actually did to make a determination.

What else was she charged with?
Counselling to commit the offense of mischief, which is much more serious for her.

An Ottawa judge denied bail for Lich. She's charged with mischief.
Let that soak in.
She was the brains behind the fundraising, and it appears Trudeau is pretty pissed about that.
She was not only charged with mischief, but please do keep the ignorance rolling.

Stop simping. The Canadian government is a joke. They embarrassed themselves on the world stage and deserve all the criticism they are receiving.7 minutes ago, B-Man said:That would be you.

That's most protests, so I don't necessarily agree.
Regardless, fine, arrest people if they deem necessary. You don't call them false derogatory names, freeze bank accounts, declare emergency powers and send the police chief out there to hunt down anyone involved and intimidate shop owners who helped the protest.
This was so wildly disproportionate to what was actually occurring and the Ottawa Police Chief is a straight up movie villain.
oh god...who is "hysterical" now? lol

I saw a peaceful protest stomped down by a hysterical government that declared emergency powers, froze bank accounts and seized personal property. I now see an overzealous police chief stating they will hunt down anyone who was involved in the protest, with video of police declaring “red zones” and threatening to arrest citizens for daring to walk down the street to grab a cup of coffee. I also see police threatening shop owners who dared serve/help the truckers.
What am I missing?
you are missing the other side of the equation. the citizens of ottawa apparently don't appreciate being held hostage in their own city, being unable to sleep in their own homes or do business, that the protest is not peaceful as you claim (although for sure many of the people are peaceful). ask the people who work and live in that area.
also..."hysterical? stomped?" i think you forgot "slammed!"

I also support what BLM originally stands for. I think it’s safe to say that a vast majority of protesters (peaceful or not) have no idea what the term Black Lives Matter actually means. It’s very simple and both sides don’t even know it.agreed and this protest is the same. it, like BLM protests, was accosted by some bad actors.
hopefully, if people want to protest, the protests will continue. most canadians support that. just not in the same destructive fashion.

How else should we get our news? And please enlighten us on what is happening there?
at least ask the people who live in ottawa. and ask the people who are a part of the protests.
the news and twitter culture are after $$ and/or popularity. if you believe them, you believe that nazi and confederate flags are rampant (not at all, this entire protest has some real pricks to be sure but it is mostly regular people), and you also believe a person was trampled to death by a horse (also not at all).
i support the protest. even though i really don't support their cause. many people feel the same. but when you trample other people's rights to death with a horse we are going to have a problem.
as for freezing bank accounts - in canada it is one of our favourite things to do to proclaim we are not like americans (despite the fact that we are obviously far more similar than we are different). and so when we see american millions pouring into a few bank accounts to help a canadian political movement hold our capitol hostage, we take offense and even overreach to stop it. and it will be supported by a majority of canadians.
-
This thread is rather humourous.
Americans who think they understand what is going on in Canada by reading the news and twitter...reading this thread, it is almost as if you guys really have no clue at all. You don't actually believe all the nonsense and lies do you? Surely this thread is a joke?

The Washington and Dallas Super Bowls didn't hurt as much because they were blowouts. Maybe the 2nd Cowboys Super Bowl you can make a case because the Bills were leading at half. But things fell apart quickly in the 2nd half and it ended up being a blowout. 13 seconds and MCM we had the games won until a crazy ending in both games. That hurt more than the blowout Super Bowl losses.
My opinion is that although the close games sting, they were at least good games with our great players making great plays. Getting spanked in the superbowl was just awful from beginning to end.

Superbowls. Any other answer is just silliness.

too bad my favourite part of that day is not in that video or available to be seen elsewhere.
it was the phonecall right before the pick, from Beane to Allen:
Beane "You ready to be a Bill?"
Allen "Yes, sir."
it was short and sweet but somehow from that moment on i knew that Allen was their guy all along and that he was going to be special.

It would be a disaster without a HoF RB.
It was ok for Kelly to call his own plays because he had a HOF RB who would demand the football and do something with it. For Allen, without a true running game, it would be far easier for him to take it upon himself to play hero ball too often. That will always end in disaster as some of the losses have shown over the last few years.
maybe, or maybe he would do great. i hope they give him the chance in the future, but it will need practice so it is not for this year.

Isaiah McKenzie is GOOD, very good. He's been put in the dog house all year for no noticeable reason. This has been to the detriment to the team both on offense and special teams. Not only does he belong on the field he belongs in the offense!!
This kid had a noticeable impact on the offense last season and we have been missing his athleticism this year. It took desperation of multiple COVID lists and a hampered Sanders to finally give this MAN a chance. We aren't talking about a rookie but a guy that's been here for a few years now.
McDermott is a terrible leader (no accountability) and terrible recognition of talent, he clings to Tre White as his only accomplishment and constantly puts faith in undersized abs under skilled guys.
Isaiah McKenzie played a key role in our run game last year withhis explosiveness and that has been missing all year.
It's terrible we need to rely on injuries of our talent to get on the field because the coach won't do it.
I'm so over McDermott, he can't coach a winning, talented football team.
This post is proof positive how awful Art Vandalay is. Pretyyyy prettyyyy bad
