Sorry are you trying to imply that the way various levels of US governments responded to recent left-wing protests has some conspiratorial parallel to the way the Canadian federal government responded to a right wing protest?
The city of Ottawa's law enforcement officers were ordered to remove the protesters weeks before the federal government stepped in. The cops basically just didn't do their job. The emergency act was not invoked lightly.
- lupusreal 2y agoWho said anything about the US government? Left wing protestors get plenty of leeway in Canada but right wing protestors get branded terrorists for being loud. Oh but it "wasn't done lightly", whatever that's meant to mean, so obviously it's kosher.
- nick_ 2y agoOh I see. You're crazy.

- squigz 2y agoTo what "leftist' protests are you referring, exactly?
- freeone3000 2y agoPerhaps the emergency act should have been invoked against the police.
