This one seems to shift NDP massively to CPC, which...doesn't seem likely, but who knows! EDIT - And crazily, based on where the % for each party is based geographically, Mainstreet still projects the LPC forming government even if those numbers held true in an election right now. If you believe IVR reserach (not sure if I do), Liberals under Trudeau has become the party for old women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 It's not going to be over because the CPC is leaning fully into Trumpian politics. Harper used the true believers to hold the party together, and now the true believers (Bergen, Scheer, Poilievre) are in charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 This is the most cordial, light-handed roll out of police enforcement in world history. Like, the people being kettled are allowed to leave if they want, and if they still refuse and end up arrested...they are processed and released as long as they promise not to return. There are no consequences for anyone but the leaders, yet there are people (including elected politicians!) saying this is tyranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 It looks like this might over by tonight. Assuming it is, the smartest thing Trudeau could do is wait a day or two and then revoke the emergency order and make a speech saying that they did was was required, and are handing back the powers to the city/province.

CitizenVectron Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 NYT doubling down on the "arrested at gunpoint" headline and getting clowned on: Basically, after people left the area police went through each seized vehicle and had guns as who knows what is waiting inside. But they never pointed a gun at anyone and no one was arrested. NYT just wanted a sensationalist headline. Not that there would have been anything wrong with guns being ready if protestors were suspected to also have deadly tools available...but it's fun to dunk on the NYT. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Jesus Christ these people, they are absolute nutcases. "CaN dEmOcRaCy SuRvIvE?!?!" the Emergencies Act doesn't even restrict any of Canada's Charter Rights! This isn't the War Measures Act, not that they know the difference. In their mind, any police action against white people is anti-democratic and tyrannical. Like...no one is stopping anyone from voting, or even leaving the protest on their own action. So the police are literally just moving people away, they aren't even charging people except the organizers and those who have attacked police or done other illegal things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is generally consistent with every protest in Canada. How many of the people doing real violence at the G20 protests were prosecuted?
