What Norm Said...

Norman Farrell, writing in the comments at the bottom of his latest post titled 'Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition':
"I’ve spent the last dozen years arguing about government failures but I’m not about to support a self-appointed rabble that decides it is empowered to “negotiate” with elected officials about laws and public health requirements. I’ve watched these people spit upon and scream at news gatherers, assault nurses and others going to work in healthcare facilities, threaten children wearing masks attending schools, prevent people of downtown Ottawa from enjoying peace in their homes, stop businesses from doing business, etc.

If we give in to mob rule, voting and political dialogue will be replaced by coercion, violence and intimidation..."

Also worth reading today are Michael Harris, who says 'Don't call them protestors' and Andrew Nikiforuk who delves into the propaganda revving of the convoy's engines....Both of the latter pieces are in the Tyee.

Call the so called Freedom Convoy for what it was, a Neo Conservative/Trumpian GOP putsch that failed.

Swastika's and American revolutionary flags fluttered with the Canadian maple leaf and F(maple leaf) Trudeau flags in the chill winds of a right wing terrorists.

Sadly, events 99 years ago of an equally ill planned "beer hall putsch" in Munich, lead by the little corporal with a funny mustache, ultimately lead to a world wide conflagration 16 years later.

Agree with Norm We just had a federal election and the voters in Canada have spoken. It is not up to some unelected idiot to say the Liberals and Trudeau must go and decide what form our government ought to take. They were not elected. To attempt to replace a dually elected government by force is treason.

these idiots thought it was O.K. to threaten and disrupt the lives of people in Ottawa, as if they had every right to do so. they thought it was O.K. to disrupt our country's economy and deny people the right to do their jobs.

The activities of these people was nothing short of treason. Had they been able to accomplish their goals or Trudeau had "folded", this country would be a third world dictatorship. They would have gotten rid of any one who opposed their ideas and given the racist signs, etc. that would have resulted in a lot of Canadians being dead.

What I did find interesting is that most of the "protestors" didn't understand how the Canadian government works, what is written in the CANAADIAN Constitution and what provincial and municipal laws cover.
