RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Finally over $3I doubt Trudeau will be leading the liberals into an election next time. Too damaged at this point. We clearly disagree on this, but he is now an international joke and most Canadians, even liberals are very tired of him and his poor leadership and divisive tactics. Emergency Act or not, these last few weeks have really exposed what type of leader he is. Not the person you want running the country when chit hits the fan. If the Cons run Poilievre they're dead in the water. Initially supporting protestors was fine, but once the border blockades were happening he vocally supported them which was very stupid. Jean Charest, if they could get him just might be the next PM.

Most Canadians do not support Trudeau or the way he has handled this, and he is the laughing stock of the free world. You are correct though, to him it is all about positioning himself for an election. He mishandled this situation badly and now has to resort to extreme measures to fix the mess he made. I think he'd enjoy burning the rest of Canada and Canadians to the ground if he thought it would help him get re-elected by his elite urban supporters. And that is the main reason he is not fit to lead a country of this size. He leads by division and has turned Canada from a respected and pleasant place into an international joke and hate filled country in a few short years. Perhaps a mayoral position in a liberal leaning city would be more suited to someone with such a narrow range of support. Maybe he could replace Ford? But as logisticsguy said, let's keep Trudeau talk off the board and stick to DIV.

These people here are criminals, who are having all of their assets permanent frozen by the banks (or at least until they can prove they weren't at the protests), and likely lengthy prison terms plus terrorism charges. Check out the conspiracy to commit murder charges laid in Alberta. This Emergency War Measures Act invoked will likely get Trudeau his majority, finally, as he clamps down on extremism that's being funded by international actors. Canada is FINALLY taking measures to protect our economy and livelihoods.

Why was Trudeau meeting with them and not calling them names? I didn't see any Army getting called in to remove the blockades? Funny, how there is this massive double standard no one in the Trudeau government cares to talk about.
