ConvenZIHdo Que Podemos Hacer Mejor

I made a brief statement that Trudeau is more of a dictator than president Trump so I guess I need to clarify the details. Trudeau implemented the Emergencies Act to allow their parliament to freeze the bank accounts of Canadian citizens who donated to the Freedom Truckers protest for not wanting to take an experimental vaccine that didn’t stop you from getting Covid or spreading it.

Oh Surfdude. C'mon.

1. When comparing dictators you have to consider their body of work in its entirety, not just a slice of one issue. I don't know much about Canadian politics so I can't comment on what Trudeau did specifically, but if I remember correctly he never incited an insurrection against his own government, and then pardoned all involved; nor did he illegally unleash secret police to snatch brown people, including nannies and gardeners, off the streets and deport them to hellhole prisons overseas without a shred of due process; and I don't remember him trying to extort money from allegedly disloyal corporations, media giants and universities who refused to do his unconstitutional bidding; and I don't think he ever dispatched military troops to city streets on ginned up flimsy excuses to solve problems that don't exist. Who's the dictator now? Strike 1.

2. We have been using the SARS vaccine for many years with great effect, and COVID is in the same SARS family. As I understand it, because the two are nearly identical, all it took to develop the COVID vaccine was to swap out a small slice of DNA from the SARS vaccine and replace it with DNA from COVID. No need to reinvent the wheel here. That's why Trump, working day and night by himself in the lab in the White House basement, was able to develop it so quickly, taking full credit for himself ("I alone developed the COVID vaccine" ). And it was tested on 44,000 volunteers before it was approved, proving safe and effective, thereby saving millions of lives. Strike 2.

3. No scientist or medical professional (and no responsible politician) EVER said that the vaccine would "stop you from getting COVID". What they did say was that the vaccine would greatly improve your chances of avoiding it, and almost certainly keep you from a long hospital stay. (Unlike Trump and Fox, scientists and medical professionals deal in probabilities, not in certainties, always hedging to an extent. It's their stock in trade.) Bet Newsmax didn't mention any of that. Steerike 3! Game over!

I can't believe people think AI such as ChatGP is some kind of definitive source. AI tells you what it thinks you want to hear. Little Guy listed the chain of events with actual sources, while all you do is cite a computer program that's trying to provide you with answers you'll like, though not necessarily correct or factual answers, so you'll continue using it.

Nice work ZihuaRx for standing up for the truth and providing sources for his claims that this forum seems to overlook.

The US equivalent would be Trump freezing bank accounts of US citizens who donated to the BLM riot movement.

Trudeau did this Trump did not. Peace and God bless.

If you're just going to rather rudely ignore what someone took the time to research and list sources for that debunks your comments, then continue to make the same comments ignoring what was provided, I frankly don't see the utility of having any further engagement with you here. This isn't your personal sounding board. You're welcome to participate and interact in discussions, and if you have any, offer useful information, but not to waste other people's time and resources.

At the time of the incident you refer to, truckers were endangering other people's health by denying the science and not getting vaccinated and traveling great distances when the world needed to try to contain the spread of a disease it still didn't fully understand at the time. They were imitating what MAGAt anti-vaxxers were doing in the States, and if I recall correctly they received funding from MAGAt anti-vaxxers. Trudeau did the right thing. To call that dictatorship is to demonstrate your ignorance of the word.

Little Marco orange-nose, besides blowing innocent people out of the water to make MAGAt snuff films, wants to take away the passports of U.S. citizens and deny entry into the country of anyone who criticized the racist assh0le who was shot and killed in Utah last week. THAT'S what a dictatorship does. If you deny the obvious dictatorship qualities of the current regime in the USA while ascribing them to Trudeau for trying to SAVE LIVES, then you're simply living inside your head and not in the real world.

@ZihuaRx did not provide sources. They simply cut-and-pasted the unexamined output of some software. It you want to see real sources, read my previous posting that provided them.

I see that you are backing away from your previous, unfounded allegation that Trudeau exercised some kind of American Presidential Executive Order that is not provided for in the Canadian constitution. You continue to show your ignorance of Canadian governance by saying that the Emergencies Act allowed parliament to take actions. The Act authorizes actions by the Governor in Council, subject to review by Parliament.

Now you advance the disinformation that the brief freezing of bank account s was taken against Canadians who had “donated to the Freedom Truckers protest”. The truth is that accounts of Canadians who had donated were not frozen. The only accounts that were affected were those where donations were made after the proclaiming of the Regulations pursuant to the Act.

The Emergencies Act was invoked only weeks after a relatively small number of Canadians with large trucks made life unbearable for many more Canadians and interfered with local businesses.

I suspect that Trudeau, like most Canadians, didn’t care whether any of those so adversely affecting other Canadians were vaccinated. No one in Canada was forcing them to do so. The only adverse affect on Canadian truckers was that the US government would not permit unvaccinated truckers to enter the US. Unvaccinated Canadian truckers could continue to work anywhere in Canada and unvaccinated Canadian truckers already in the US could cross freely back into Canada.

Importantly, those disrupting Ottawa, and their apologists, including you, ignore the fact that the Canadian federal government had no covid vaccination mandates. . Read that again slowly.

Under the Canadian constitution matters related to health, including vaccination, are under provincial authority, not federal authority.

One of the slogans of the Party in 1984 is,

Ignorance is strength

If that were true, there would be some very strong people posting here on this topic.

The US equivalent would be Trump freezing bank accounts of US citizens who donated to the BLM riot movement.

I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

And here we have it. There is no “organization” known as antifa. So the US government will be able to just label anyone they dislike as being antifa. Watch out Jimmy Kimmel.
