Also Inside the Bunker

Justin isn't the only one stunned that Canadians actually did something for a change:

Legislators plan to return to the House of Commons on Monday as a Parliament Hill protest against government-imposed COVID-19 measures enters its third full day.

Many of the horn-honking demonstrators who brought Ottawa to a near standstill on the weekend showed no signs of budging as parliamentarians, businesses and school administrators were left wondering when the usual rhythm of the frazzled national capital would resume.

Alexandra Maheux, a spokeswoman for government House leader Mark Holland, said the ongoing protest is not interfering with parliamentary business.

(Sidebar: this Mark Holland.)

“We have important work to accomplish for Canadians in Parliament, and we’re looking forward to getting this done and delivering results,” Maheux said late Sunday.

 

... says the exorbitantly-paid civil servant who took nearly two months off holiday while regular Canadians worked their under-paying jobs (if they had them). 

Also - no, you @$$hole, you're not part of any "convoy". You still have a pension no matter how corrupt, incompetent and absent you are from the work of destroying a nation, unlike so many others.

Come back to everyone when you have had to tell your children that the government that once lauded you as "essential" now hates you and has forced you from your arduous job:

Truckers and cabinet members alike are “all in the same convoy,” says Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos. The Minister declined to speak with protesters demonstrating on Parliament Hill against his vaccine orders, but told reporters: “We’re all tired.”

It's as bad as MP Girl Name.

 

No, the truckers aren't moving:

The “Freedom Convoy” protests continued overnight and into Sunday Jan. 30 in Ottawa, with trucks and vehicles still parked in the city’s downtown core, and people gathered on Parliament Hill, with some setting off fireworks at night.

Protest organizers say they will stay in Ottawa until their demands for lifting COVID-19 mandates are met.

 

 

Rumpelstiltskin Omar Alghabra feels rather sad:

The Freedom Convoy truck drivers’ protest rally today prompted Transport Minister Omar Alghabra to abruptly cancel a scheduled personal appearance on Parliament Hill. It followed attendance at the rally of one speaker who’d called Alghabra a terrorist: “The hysteria gripping our society is reaching new heights.”

This should cheer him:

Meanwhile, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said the federal government stands by its vaccination rule for cross-border truckers and still plans to move forward bringing in regulations to make vaccination mandatory for federally regulated industries, which would include inter-provincial truck drivers.

"So there is ongoing work as of right now. That policy is not in place, but no one should be surprised that there's work happening to get us there," he said Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live.

 

Because that will make everyone like him!

 

 

Justin begs for the NDP's help in tightening his grip on China's North American vassal state:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is counting on the Bloc Quebecois and the NDP to help his minority Liberal government get things done in the face of what he anticipates will be systematic obstructionism by the Conservatives.

In an interview with The Canadian Press ahead of Parliament's return Monday after a six-week break, Trudeau made it clear he doesn't just want the smaller, more ideologically compatible opposition parties to support the passage of Liberal bills.

He wants them to support measures to cut off debate and force votes on bills if the official Opposition Conservatives resort to procedural tricks to stall progress on the legislative agenda, as they frequently did during his first minority mandate.

Some people correctly point out that the bribed press has been mischaracterising this movement and its participants from the beginning:

MPs yesterday accused media of vilifying protesters attending a Freedom Convoy truckers’ rally on Parliament Hill. Reporters at a press briefing described various demonstrators as bigots: “Establishment media have been looking for controversies with some of these truckers.”

It is the Liberals' modus operandi to smear that which they do not like.

That is, until they can legally censor everything.
