Doughy-Faced Dictator Trudeau Begins the Illegal Mass Arrest of Peaceful Protesters

Screenshot (1556).png


Illegal, because the Canadian Charter of Human Rights guarantees the right to protest peacefully-- which the truckers have done.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association objects to Castreau's declaration of dictatorial powers, stating that the predicate for the Emergencies Act is simply not met:


Canadian Civil Liberties Association

@cancivlib


The federal government has not met the threshold necessary to invoke the Emergencies Act. This law creates a high and clear standard for good reason: the Act allows government to bypass ordinary democratic processes. This standard has not been met.

The Emergencies Act can only be invoked when a situation "seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada" & when the situation "cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada."

Governments regularly deal with difficult situations, and do so using powers granted to them by democratically elected representatives. Emergency legislation should not be normalized. It threatens our democracy and our civil liberties. #cdnpoli

They'll be suing.


The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) announced Thursday that it plans to sue the federal government over its decision to invoke the Emergencies Act in response to ongoing protests and blockades.

"Emergency powers cannot and must not be normalized," said CCLA executive director Noa Mendelsohn.

She said use of the act "seriously infringes on the Charter rights of Canadians."


This is why Trudeau has been so determined to claim that there was one single swastika at the event, and then claim, further, that the very sight of that swastika constituted "violence" against onlookers.*

It's possible that the Canadian Civil Liberties Association wins -- but it will come too late for the truckers. Dictators rely on the maxim It is better to beg forgiveness than to seek permission.


I know I'm a broken record, but NeverTrump has been cheering this on, despite their claim to be "anti-authoritarian."

They're not anti-authoritarian. They're very pro-authoritarian and pro-government.

They're just anti-populist. Against the people -- the common people, the little people who should just do what their Betters tell them to do and stop making so much noise about it.

The Ottawa Police Department is reportedly beginning a sweep through downtown Ottawa to remove Freedom Convoy protesters that have occupied the area since late January.

Protest organizers operating the YouTube account Live From The Shed said on a livestream Friday morning that police officers are sweeping the streets, arresting protesters, and pushing others out of the secured area that law enforcement set up earlier this week. According to the protesters, tow trucks are stationed nearby and are believed to be waiting to clear the area of trucks.

Tow truck drivers had previously refused to tow the big rigs but the Dictator Trudeau threatened them with arrest, loss of license, and loss of their vehicles if they did not follow the Doughy-Faced Dictator's commands.

"It feels like the beginning of the end," Nate Hochman says.

This is fine:

The Terrorist Tamara Lich was arrested late last night.

Her terrorist crime? She helped organize a peaceful protest.

* Bert G. links this as the real story about that flag.

Danny Polushuk of the Boyscast noted that the swastika he saw was a swastika painted on the Canadian flag- - intended to mean, "the Canadian government is acting like Nazis." Not a pro-Nazi flag.

So yes, this is all bullshit. Claiming to have spotted a Nazi flag is Trudeau's pretext to actually go full Nazi.

35 They are peaceful. They are also probably unlawfully blocking thoroughfares. Small potatoes as compared things like the freaking ecoterrorists that sabotaged a gas construction project today. Trudeau possibly only has his war powers until Monday, and he's making hay while the sun shines.

None of this is going to look good. Whether there's a backlash remains to be seen - like a general strike or a slowdown or refusal to deliver or massive electoral defeat or whatever else - but Trudeau refused to even speak with these people before he decided to send an army of cops after them. He's a dictator, and obviously so now. The chips will fall where they fall, but there's no more hiding for him or his government or those opposed to him or his government.

Do you like what's been happening? Do you support the continuation of this regime? If the answer is "yes," then you're an authoritarian.

For the NeverTrumpers the answer "yes, bolded and underlined, with an exclamation point. And also a boner."

46 What I'm still not sure about - and really impossible to know I guess - is what % of truckers support this? The MSM would have you believe this is a **FRINGE** minority. And I guess given all the trucks in Canada, a few hundred in Ottawa is a very small minority.

But if most truckers do support it, they all need to stop where they are right now and not deliver shit for the next 72 hours. That is what will really hurt the economy and send a loud and clear message.

Parliament could have stopped this shit show in the last couple of days... they did not.

Trudy told them not to meet today, for their own safety.

Now they will not meet until Monday, when it will be too late for the Truckers. The Cowards will then vote to suspend the emergency... as the damage is already done.

59 I know its probably a stupid question, but why not just do a nationwide strike of all truck drivers (with a lot of browbeating at "scabs") could be even more effective at jamming things up?

Canada has such a generous safety net, surely they can take a few weeks/months off and its not going to be them of the world for them financially.

Somehow huge swaths have just decided to no longer working, seems like truck drivers could just go on a few month vacation and bring Canada to a standstill.

It's the end of the beginning. What comes next for people like Trudeau will be endless court battles, which they will lose, and potential for 7 figure verdicts in subsequent civil suits. Especially for Trudeau types here in the US.

This is just one of those bumps I've referenced. The plebes are showing up the elite. Or rather demonstrating they aren't very elite at all. It's never good to be out front with the look that you really have no power except for the inappropriate look of improperly using the state sanctioned monopoly on violence.

102 Plain and simple, dictatorship has arrived in Canada. Invoking a law meant to fight against violent international terrorists, and using it against a peaceful protest, the most fundamental form of free speech. Unleashing "police" under that order to violently arrest and assault citizens. Seizing people's property without cause. Seizing people's bank accounts on the same faulty, authoritarian premise.

Canada is gone and no longer part of the free world.

A bunch of them quit or called in sick long term. The chief quit. Watch and see how this plays out before declaring every cop there a monster.

Far too early yet to know if it will "work".

This is their failure, and its on them for being the fist beating in the face of liberty. Every one of them should be ashamed and horrified at what they are doing.

I suspect some of them are, but are afraid to stand out and be noticed, or lose their pension. And in groups like that (as in the military) its "us" against "them" and you're afraid to speak out or be different from the other members of "us". That's how really corrupted precincts happen.

257 248 The cops are doing it to themselves.

This, I agree with. All they had to do is refuse to do it. They just had to all just stand together and say "no, this is wrong". And the ones active, chose not to. This is their failure, and its on them for being the fist beating in the face of liberty. Every one of them should be ashamed and horrified at what they are doing.

I suspect some of them are, but are afraid to stand out and be noticed, or lose their pension. And in groups like that (as in the military) its "us" against "them" and you're afraid to speak out or be different from the other members of "us". That's how really corrupted precincts happen. Everyone knows, but they don't say anything because solidarity.

Well that's why every state that announces they are opening up sets it in the future, so that they can reverse it the moment a new strain comes along or a few more people go to the hospital.

But... I suspect they won't reverse themselves.

The 2A on defends the rest if the OWNER of the firearm takes it up and uses it to defend them.

It takes ACTION not words or threats. We've been waving that 2A flag for too long and not looked around. I'm afraid that we're going to find out just how insignificant the 2A really is and that will demoralize the country worse than the 1/6 arrests have.

They will attack piecemeal and tho they may meet armed opposition because it will be random there will be no massed coordination. Thus they will proceed from this town to that with no one knowing where they will strike next. Only massed action will stop the FedGov from taking peoples guns and their rights away.

I don't believe we have the fortitude to do that yet.

276 Far too early yet to know if it will "work". Peaceful Protest never accomplishes an immediate "win"; they are designed to demonstrate that the Government is willing to use Brute Force for political ends, and that it has no moral justification for retaining power. A short term defeat is always assured; the play is for the long term win.
Posted by: Tom Servo at February 18, 2022 03:07 PM (trdmm)

Absolutely true. There's a reason that peaceful protests worked in India, South Africa, and America - even with their short-term tragic setbacks. That's because, as part of the Anglosphere, these peaceful protests spoke past an abusive government right to their people, who inherently understood the Judeo-Christian concept of justice. I fear that with the religion of Leftist Karenism firmly followed by a significant percentage of Canada's population, Castreau's 'boot kicking the face of freedom, forever' will only slake the blood-lust of these people, not bring them to an enlightening moment of clarity.

You can scream media all you want - Joe Biden is flirting with 30% approval rates, meaning he is closer to 20%. Jay Cost's model says the dems could lose over 80 seats based upon Biden's unpopularity. Blue states are repealing covid restrictions as fast as they can while the CDC zealot keeps spouting off about covid restrictions.

The gigs up - a majority of the population knows that globally the left has no clothes. Trudeau's popularity up north is not very good either. Politically he's not going to survive this. The question is how many libs go down with him.

It is necessary that the corrupt indicate themselves in their corruption by a lack of response.

However, that is not the same thing as a final lack of response.

I offer this scenario, as people lose trust in the Democratic Party, they become more open to anti-Democrat voices. And they will learn how plausible the scenario is that a woman was assassinated and another woman was beaten to death with an iron bar so that the Democrat Party could play up the "threat t our democracy".

They have families, careers, mortgages...and if they don't do it, the next cop will (after they get out to Antifa and such)

Cops aren't evil asshole power-hungry Nazis looking to oppress people...but they often have the power and backing to be, so any cop I don't know, I don't cooperate with. Sorry, if the whole system is corrupt, I have to act as such as a default.

that's Trudeau's mistake; he's instituting the crackdown, but except for his government, he's still operating inside a nominally tolerant society.

First, organize - not big groups, not things that can be targeted and destroyed, but just with the people you know, people who sympathize with you, personally. A couple of the rules for what the truckers, and those like us who sympathize with them, should do next:
Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose. We are locked in a war, and to slack off is to surrender. Don't slack off, ever.
10) The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. Your pressure is going to result in overreactions from the opposition, which you need for your overall campaign to work. Pressure produces reaction, and constant pressure sustains action.

that's where to start.

The mother of Wright, who at 20 was already a career criminal with a long history of assaults, armed burglaries, and other crimes, whined that "a white woman's tears trump justice."

One of Wright's prior crimes, for which he was never convicted, was shooting one of his friends in the head and leaving him for dead after getting into an argument with him. The friend is now brain-damaged, unable to walk or talk, and needs round-the-clock care.

Maybe Wright's bitch mother, who looks to be white herself, should go talk to the mother of that kid about "justice."

Wright got off easy. And maybe if his bitch mother had been an actual mother and taught her evil spawn some values, he wouldn't have been the low-life criminal thug that he was.

During the revolution the Red Coats complained that the colonists wouldn't fight fair by sniping from the trees.

I'm guessing that's how this entire conflict will play out; attrition by deception, theft and sniping while the FedGov stomps on entire groups to get one or two fleas biting them.

I agree. All this does is convince the opponents of crazed leftist radicals like Castreau that they're going to face government oppression and violence no matter what tactic they choose, so why hold back?

As someone noted above, if you cannot protest peacefully, then you must protest violently. Is that what they want? No.

This is the problem with the position of "death penalty for everything." It's a cost/benefit problem. They can only kill you once, so if you decide to commit a capital crime and are willing to suffer the consequences of that, any crime you commit in association with that greater crime is free.

You're describing a similar problem. If the punishment for peaceful protesting is harsh, then where is the disincentive to non-peaceful action? "Thrown in a gulag" is pretty bad, and Trudeau is walking a fine line. The only way to try to bail himself out of that corner is to release the arrested and their property quickly and drop charges.

People see some of the nice footage of things like the French shaving the heads of women who consorted with the Nazi's and generally abusing them. What they don't show are picture of their former countrymen lying in a ditch or hanging from trees, after being tortured or lit on fire for being collaborators or outright cowards who let others die to save their own skin. I had family who were medics tell me some of that was worse then what they saw in the war, because it was so heinous and evidently personal.

411 Now we move onto the next phase. Can't say if the protesters knew this was the inevitable outcome, but they did the right thing. They exercised their rights and did it peacefully. They let the government overreact.

Now they will be political prisoners and have to work to become sympathetic martyrs.

It is always in the end in the hands of the people to decide if they wish to live in a free society or not.

Much like the J6 political prisoners, their ultimate fate will be determined by the results of the next election (including if there isn't one due to fraud, etc).

Don't know but it's private contractors taking vaccine doses and medical supplies to/from the U.S. so that could stop.

||Unvaccinated truckers bringing COVID-19 vaccines and medical devices into Canada to combat the pandemic are exempt from testing and quarantine requirements at the border, a government order says.

The exemption is due to the "urgent public health necessity" of the supplies they are transporting, Health Canada states.

Former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter was sentenced to 24 months and a fine of $1,000 on Friday, Feb. 18 following her conviction in the death of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man who was fatally shot during a traffic stop.

Potter will serve 16 months in prison and the remaining eight months on supervised release, a sentence far below what the prosecution sought. Judge Regina Chu said this case was "highly unusual".

"This is one of the saddest cases I have had in my 20 years on the bench," Chu said when delivering the sentence. "Officer Potter made a mistake that ended tragically, but she never intended to hurt anyone."

This is the thing, I have never honored or venerated police, never thought of them as better people, just some dude doing a job. A cop is no different than a bus driver or a convenience store clerk or the people who work at the office with you. They're just workers. The uniform and the police powers doesn't make them different any more than wearing a labcoat and holding a clipboard makes you a special person as a sicentist.

Look around you at work. How many would you trust to do the right thing or protect you if things went wrong? How many would you trust to not do wrong to you when ordered, at the cost of their jobs? How many would you trust to carry your lunch to you safely for that matter?

That doesn't make every officeworker a bastard or evil, and it does not make them heroes. They're just people.

Wyatt surely would start off by telling said person "Hey, I'm Wyatt. You are being investigated. You can get a lawyer before you say anything else if you want to."

You really don't need a bank for anything today. You can actually hold your assets offshore, and many places don't require you to come in person to do it. You can execute payments from there, or you can load money into one of the many payment systems. Ditto investing and other activities. It's pretty easy to detach yourself. Provided you do your tax reporting, it's all relatively safe.

And that nasty POS mother of Wright should be ashamed to show her ugly face in public, let alone bitch and whine that Potter's sentence was too light.

646 Evidence?

Up until the night before his big communists are infiltrating government speech he was a pretty reliable lefty voice. Suddenly he became super hardcore right wing because it polled well and he got lots of support after that speech.

648 These extreme dictatorial actions by Trudeau are awful.
It is good to see that the Canadian Civil Liberties Association is actively opposing them. In the U.S., the current ACLU is not likely to speak up at all.

649 115 Just show me one where a majority has refused to enforce the will of authority. One will do. Just one.

652 278 People keep saying this is a crossing the Rubicon event in loss of freedom are forgetting that the US Capitol Police gunned down a woman for no reason and beat another woman to death without any consequence of any kind.

Revenge is best served cold. Those involved may well be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives and also the lives of their families.
