Finally, it seems the protestors will be moved from Ottawa. What a sorry saga it has been. Hard to understand why the Emergencies Act had to be invoked to actually effect it, but I suppose the Fed eventually lost its patience.

Like an updated version of Braveheart without the deaths and Scottish accents. FREEDOM.

And the reason !

They seem to be brainwashed by American ideology. Even flying some flags from the Revolutionary War.

I listened to a frothing cradle ranting from the barber's chair this morning. Apparently Trudeau has used his powers under martial law to suspend US investment in Canada but it'll all be ok when the Republicans retake the House as that will be the end of him.

Nothing worse that white middle aged frothing cradle. Pure scum!

I feel that cradle Canadians understand Canadian and US politics like I understand Coronation Street and East Enders. The general impression is a bit vague and sometimes the plot and characters from one gets mixed up with those from the other. That's what Fox wants, of course.

Fortunately, one rarely has to deal with them.

Justin now appearing on some American protest signs and on US late night talk shows, so you might be on to something there. He does seem to have been slow to lead on this particular 'uprising'.

Interesting piece. Not sure if the Canadian flag has "matured" or simply been sullied ...

This was somewhat amusing and a bit of an embarrassment for the protesters

Somewhat amusing and somewhat depressing. I hadn't realized that such public incoherence existed in Canada. I supposed it's highly edited, but the 'reporter' did a good job.

I've never heard the accent the protestors have. It's awful, as if they were retarded Minnesotans. Is that the voice of the overland; MB SK AB and such?

I feel sorry for this reporter. He seemed genuinely spooked.

A free press is the enemy of modern conservatism, they have to discredit it by suppressing reports and denouncing facts as "fake news". Otherwise Trump, Johnson, Bergen et al will be made to look ridiculous.

I honestly think many of those protestors are fighting over the use a single brain cell amongst them. They actually make MAGA supporters look somewhat lucid by comparison.

I suppose the question is whether any real penalties will be handed out. From what one of the lawyers on the National was saying last night, as first time offenders with no record, leniancy will probably prevail.

They were only exercising their First Amendment rights, as Tamara Lich's husband explained (perfectly rebutting the idea that all schools in Canada are equal and the education is adequate).
