Speaking with reporters at the end of his visit to the capital Kiyv, Justin Trudeau accused Putin of “executing” opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

The statement kinda loses it’s impact once you realize it’s coming from a leader who illegally broke up a protest against himself and his government

There’s a difference between illegal and not meeting a standard to use a policy.

Also y’all weren’t protesting him you were protesting people with brains.

The Emergencies Act, formerly the War Measures Act, is literally designed to suspend certain rights and freedoms during a national emergency. The only ever time it was used was during the FLQ crisis when politicians were being kidnapped and murdered.

You need to understand that the only thing that guarantees you your rights and freedoms is a piece of paper.

No, according to the courts (one court), an emergency in one city does not meet the requirements for the Federal emergencies act, and didn’t take into account the negligence of the multiple layers of regional policing and government who refused to act.

It was perfectly legal. And those protestors asked for things like “no vaccine required to enter USA”, Trudeau had nothing to do with that. Those protestors then degenerated into various conspiracy, and basically wanted to remove Trudeau and put a dictator instead. It was almost a coup, not a “protest”.

Assange represents a threat to Canada as much as he represents a threat to the US. Trudeau isn’t going to criticize the American response to Assange anyway, because our governments agree that our secrets are cooler than enemy secrets.

Funny, I seem to recall a bunch of bad actors larping as truckers blocking every single street in downtown Ottawa and blocking international borders obstructing trade. This wasn’t just a bunch of people with signs down on the corner that Trudeau didn’t like, they were intentionally stoking political fires and creating a national security issue. It was also shown that the “truckers” that didn’t want to get vaccinated got vaccinated in overwhelming numbers, even greater percentages than other industries due to the need to actually cross borders to do their job. The protestors were funded by American fascist groups.

He can say whatever he wants. Navalny was specifically moved to that distant colony so they could have kill him without much fuss. He is not the only one in that colony but the only one who has died.

He was in a penal colony. Places not known for adequate food, medical care, or reasonable work protections.

No one is saying that someone shot him in the head. He died “naturally” because the body cannot sustain in that environment indefinitely. And who put him there, and why?

As long as people are out in the wild trying to give cover to regressive fascists, we’ll never see the end of this shit.
