Did anyone point out that Justin is out of his g-d- mind?
Anyone?:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has given the federal government, police and financial institutions sweeping powers, invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time to quell protests against pandemic restrictions that have blockaded Ottawa and border crossings. ...
The act also requires the prime minister to consult with all provincial and territorial premiers before issuing a declaration. Mr. Trudeau met virtually with premiers on Monday morning after briefing his caucus. While Ontario Premier Doug Ford supported the decision, premiers from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Quebec said they didn’t want it imposed countrywide.
“Now is not the time to put oil on the fire,” Quebec Premier François Legault said. Ottawa may be nearly under “siege” he said, but “we do not have these problems in Quebec.”
Alberta’s Jason Kenney said Alberta should be left out. “It’s not needed,” he said. “It could make the situation even more complicated. And that’s what I told the Prime Minister.”
Asked to respond to the contention that the declaration could inflame already angry protesters, the Prime Minister said the blockades are damaging the economy, hurting Canadians and that more tools are necessary to end them.
(Sidebar: but not shutting down all of Canada, its oilfields, ruining every trade agreement, the largesse given to China? Not any of those things? I can see now why Justin ran away.)
I don't recall anyone saying that this act was grossly immoral.
Did I miss that?
