The article below was from early 2015. It's not too surprising how the fears of 7 years ago are finally coming to pass. Trudeau enacted the Emergency Powers Act to deal with those who didn't agree with his vision, and now that his opposition has been silenced, he isn't letting go of those emergency powers.Canada lawmakers extend emergency powers for truck protests

"The leader of that party does what he wants, when he wants, and no one dares question him. Would a Prime Minister Trudeau arbitrarily whip the vote and outlaw certain moral questions? Could Prime Minister Trudeau be trusted to make decisions for the good of the country, not just for his personal self-worth? Would Trudeau call in the police to enforce his vision? Let's hope we never have the opportunity to ask those questions."

Why Canada Will Become a Dictatorship Under Trudeau

From the link:
'The trucker protest grew until it closed a handful of Canada-U.S. border posts and shut down key parts of the capital for more than three weeks.

For almost a week the busiest U.S.-Canada border crossing, the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, was blocked. The crossing sees more than 25% of the trade between the two countries.'

This wasn't a minor incovenience for a day or two. They shut the border down for over a week. And parts of the city for three weeks. Only in Canada would there be such reticence to deal with this immediately.

What on earth did anyone expect to happen? That it took so long is the only genuine argument I can see regarding Trudeau's actions. I don't think there's be a country anywhere else that would have put up with it that long. He's have been ridiculed if he'd let it go on any longer. That he let it go on as long as he did does not reflect well on him. If this had happened in Australia and someone blocked the Harbour Bridge in Sydney for example then they'd have been towed and arrested on Day One.

A dictatorship? Good grief. I've seen a girl guide troop exhibit more muscle.

The same applies to anyone pushing the Build Back Better agenda in their countries.. and there are a lot of them.

That makes zero sense in the context of the op. You do know that the policy (or 'agenda' as you quaintly call it) is a Democratic one and only applies to the US? I don't see Biden building any roads anywhere else. But there's a couple of potholes in my road. If you think they could send someone to fix them, I'd appreciate it.

when all he had to do was meet with the leaders and as politicians do say we'll look into it. But the movement he is a part of sees themselves as so powerful and unquestionable that they refuse to do what leaders used to do. This is a new world order we are dealing with that will not tolerate disobedience.

The Build Back Better slogan belongs to the WEF and is used by all incorporated in the movement.

Look into what? The original protest was about needing to be vaccinated to cross the Canada/US border. And that's a requirement by both countries. And that wasn't and ain't going to change. Want to drive to the US? Get vaccinated. Want to block access for everyone else? Get arrested and wave so-long to your truck.

Why it took three weeks is beyond me.

that is the problem, the only reason Trudeau can do all these is because the liberal mainstream media are adding and abetting him. He would never been able to do this if the media are doing their job and provide objective coverage.

I knew Trudeau was going to win because of what I talked about in the above.

but even I was surprised how quickly the Trucker's demise came and how far Trudeau went.

Whaaaat? It was three weeks. Three weeks! I'm actually astonished that some guys haven't complained as to how weak Trudeau has shown to have been. Who takes three weeks to move some trucks that were blocking 25% of your trade? Who takes three weeks to book a bunch of guys who are blocking up your city centre? Who takes three weeks to say 'enough is enough'? What sort of wimpy government (apologies to all Canadian forum members) says 'If you don't leave, then we'll really be annoyed and will come back in a couple of weeks to ask to you again'.

Why was it okay for the government to close businesses?

Exactly what you mean by that I don't know. Are you talking about the protests? The Canadian government made a decision that the situation was untenable. Quite rightly as any reasonable person would agree. The means they have used to end the situation has varied. Towing trucks? Obviously. Arresting people who refused to move on? Obviously. Blocking banking accounts? If it prevents people from actively breaking the law? Of course.

Or are you talking about covid? If you are then maybe you should start a thread on that. This is one about the protests that truckers were making because of the restrictions in crossing the border.

If shutting businesses down is bad, why did Canada do it? That’s all I’m asking.

I've got no idea what you mean. How about some details? Some examples?

The Civil disobedience was tolerated for two weeks...

you try and park a large rig in the middle of the road and cite your right to protest and see what happens. just because you're peaceful doesn't mean you can do whatever you want in the name of a protest. Trudeau could have been more diplomatic but he had every right to remove the vehicles forcefully, he did let them be for quite some time and gave them warning.
