The Canadian Press – Feb 15, 2022
There are some concerns about the federal government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act to end antigovernment blockades against COVID-19 measures that are being held across the country.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association says it does not believe the “high and clear” threshold needed to invoke the act has been met, noting the law states it can only be used when a situation cannot be dealt with using any other law in the country.
Executive director Noa Mendelsohn Aviv warns that normalizing emergency legislation “threatens our democracy and our civil liberties.”
This is the first time the Emergencies Act has been invoked since it came into force in 1988, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said yesterday it is necessary to protect critical infrastructure such as borders and airports from the blockades, and create time-limited powers that do not already exist.
The government will use the act to force towing companies to remove big rigs and other vehicles that are blocking highways and other critical infrastructure.
It will also be used establish zones where public assembly is not allowed, and require banks to suspend or freeze accounts suspected of supporting the blockades, including those belonging to companies whose trucks are part of the convoy.
One of the main organizers behind the truckers’ protest in Ottawa, now in its third week, said members are not going anywhere, and will “hold the line” in the face of the act.
My comment isn’t about this article in particular, but it is related.
Since Tony Blair came to power, the UK has added tens of thousands of new laws on their sheeple, but none on the bust banks.
Yesterday I read a story in the Daily Fail about new laws which will require dog walkers to keep their dogs on a 3ft lead. The penalty for this is upto £1000.
How many electric scooter riders have been fined?
I don’t believe anything in the fake news. Sure, I read and listen to their shit, but I never believe it as it is set out. I have never been sent a regime letter informing of any new laws, and I am 60yrs old.
I find it insulting that the regime uses the lying fake news to promote their tyrannical agendas. I live in Lambeth in London. They can’t even keep the streets clean, & I bet no one, over the last 5yrs has been fined for letting their dog crap on the pavement.
Tyranny doesn’t happen in big steps. It happens over a period of time, so the thicko sheeple don’t see it. Not that they would see it, even if they saw it. You know what I mean.
Difficult to say when this tyranny started, but I would say on 9/11, & this was jacked another notch with the faked liquid bomb plot. I recently flew from LGW to Aberdeen & then back to Luton (A dump), & the same draconian rules are in place, with teaming halfwits on £40k per year. I can get on a coach or train with no security checks. I can carry anything, even a chainsaw, no one would know, & no one would stop me. Just imagine the potential carnage one could carry out?
When the robots are up to the right level, be very sure that you’ll be vetted for entering a supermarket, because insures will demand it.
This is how tyranny creeps up on us. Thicko sheeple.

No one seems to mind when humans crap on the pavement. Why is that?

I’ve never felt anything but tyranny from everything in britain, and I’m older than you.
