The Canada Convoy

Now let us see a link to the horse and the bike? So we can perhaps donate to an animal charity or something.

Would it be okay with you if Trump froze protestors' bank accounts if he declared an Emergency first?

So no comment? Okay.

The question was:

Would you be okay with it if Trump froze the bank accounts of protestors?

Its a yes or no question which you didn't answer. That's fine because you've no commitments to answer questions from me in the first place.

Police and media trying to blame a bike being thrown under the horses is a false narrative...the "bike" they're talking about it actually the old ladies walker that they trampled over with the police horses...the fact that they tried to twist this fact to suit their own narrative shows exactly how sick they are....and how much trouble Canada is in at the moment with people like this at the wheel...

Ottawa police realised very quickly after this incident that they made a HUGE mistake sending in the mounted police on icy roads in front of tightly packed and totally peaceful protestors...which is why they were withdrawn from the protest immediately after and didn't make another appearance....

Somebody got their knuckles severly rapped after that incident I imagine, as the pictures of it are extremely damaging for Trudeau...and the image of the old lady (who is a well known native tribal elder in Canada apparently) will probably be one of the enduring images in the aftermath of this....

HUGE mistake sending in the cavalry

Not one member of government met with the truckers over the past 3 weeks. If there's anything we've learned in Ireland, it's that dialogue is imperative to come to good resolutions.

If the figures above were correct, it means that Trudeau is willfully ignoring 30% of his population. You can't just ignore this amount of population and try to crack down on them with oppression and think it will be a happy ending.

I've listened to a lot of Canadian commentators where they say this is so much more than a disagreement about mandates, but is turning into a class war against blue collar workers. Those who are opposed to this protest are literally biting the hand that feeds them. I've heard it said before that for people who live in towns and cites, they are only about 3 or 4 meals away from hunger. Starting a war with your truckers who you rely on so much, and whose shortage of ,even before this protest, was already causing major supply chain problems, was just incomprehensible for any sane thinking person.

It remains to be seen how much of this will spread over the coming weeks and months.

That scumbag must have been one of the mounties on the horse ahead of them. When you are trampling a granny on a mobility bike it's very difficult to tell where that bike is going to go. The horse is so lucky. Those lightweight aluminium frame bikes can do terrible damage to the bottom of a horses hoof.

So it's okay to throw things at animals? I disagree.

Even Kurt Zouma realizes that's wrong now.

He is not in a good position at all, politically

He is currently not in a good position politically because the majority of Canadians believe he has been far too soft on the protests.

 a majority (71%) are concerned that regardless of the issue, this is how protests may run themselves in the future – with trucks and rigs for hire to extract their demands

a majority (71%) say that regardless of their politics, they would vote for a strongwilled person to have enforceable law and order

simply because he could not abide being seen to "give in"

You've got it arsé over tít, he has refused to "give in" to the vast majority of Canadians and crush the protest.

Those lightweight aluminium frame bikes can do terrible damage to the bottom of a horses hoof.

But yet you were able to describe the bike in at least some detail. 🙄

I think the important thing is, it's not right to throw stuff at animals.

I had read last night that the woman died. Luckily she is ok. Are people really still going with the obvious lie that a bike was thrown at the horse? First of all, it's winter in Canada. No one is riding a bike. And secondly there is no evidence of a bike in any of the photos taken during and after the incident. It's the woman's mobility scooter and it wasn't thrown you absolute numpties. There's videos. Ottawa police are lying scum. Can anyone point out where the bike is in the photo?

You can ride a bike in winter. I've done it in Canada and it's done all over Scandinavia. I'm not debating whether or not a bike was thrown as I don't know either way I'm just saying you can cycle in winter.

The irony of a “leader” elected by an electorate calling the opposition Nazi supporters and fascists when he invokes emergency powers for a democratic protest is not lost on me.

Stealing peoples’ money when they disagree with you, taking their means of support for their families, coercing them into submission, is not democratic, it’s authoritarian!

anyone who stands up for over-reach of a government should be wary of what they wish for.

Martin Niemöller wrote that poem based on acts similar to this.

Shame on Trudeau …. Has he even talked to those he wants to destroy with words and innuendo?

So you instantly believe a woman had been trampled to death, but the police are lying about someone tripping a horse with a bike?

And yes you can ride a bike in winter, not in 3 foot of snow but even in the likes of Canada they clear the roads.

Well because I saw the evidence of the woman being knocked to the ground as a horse walked by. It's not that much of a stretch to think she might have died as a result, given that being trampled by a horse often results in death. Also I saw with my own eyes that there was no bike thrown and no bike in the vicinity in any of the photos. So I deduced that the police are lying.

How is using it if it hasn't been passed? 🤔

All parties agree to suspend parliament because of safety concerns, it will be debated and voted on next week.

This lad seems normal

Protesting = good

Counter protesting = bad

I know 'Link-less' boggles has me on ignore as there still is no evidence of any bicycle or a single protestor throwing anything in weeks of protests.

But how anyone can argue against video evidence, and then use the word "apparantly" to back himself up.

His father wasn't big on the aul democracy either. He was rather fond of a bit of dictatorship himself under the guise of communism.

Good god...he should have never been elected in the first place...seemingly he only got 20% in the last election but did something like a fffg deal to get back into power again...Canadians may well rue the day
