Trudeau's Dictatorial Crackdown on Peaceful Canadian Protesters Is Popular Among One Group of US Voters

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s descent into dictatorship to rein in the Freedom Convoy protest has support from a majority of likely Democratic voters in America.

According to a survey conducted by Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action, 55 percent of likely voters disapproved of Trudeau’s handling of the demonstration, while 35 percent approved.

When broken down by party affiliation, 65 percent of Democrats backed Trudeau’s heavy-handed response compared to 17 percent who disapproved, while 87 percent of likely Republican voters opposed the prime minister’s crackdown and 8 percent approved.

One hundred percent of young voters, meanwhile, (those 25 to 35-years-old), disapproved of Trudeau’s response.

On Feb. 14, the Canadian prime minister invoked the Emergencies Act to crack down on demonstrators who had been in Ottawa since late last month protesting the country’s vaccine mandates and other Covid-19 restrictions.

The government announced they would freeze bank accounts of those even loosely attached to the protest, while Ontario’s premier threatened to revoke driver’s licenses. Protesters’ pets weren’t even off-limits.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland also said the government would be broadening its “Terrorist Financing” rules to include cryptocurrencies and crowdfunding platforms as part of the Act.

The Canadian Parliament voted on Monday night to extend its emergency powers for another 30 days despite the blockade being over.

The survey of 1080 likely general election voters was conducted Feb. 18-20 and was provided exclusively to The Daily Wire.

This is a divide we cannot heal. Or have one government, sadly.

Freedom loving Canadians, should take a Florida Vacation, until Trudeau resigns. Empty store shelves, shuttered businesses, school collapse, healthcare collapse, could change the minds of some Canadian fence sitters. The Canadian police can police themselves in a ghost town.

Which I take to mean all those liberal baby boomers are lying power seeking whores, the whole hippie movement thing was a big lie, at their hearts they are oppressive tyrants drooling for the chance to impose their will through force.

They don’t have the guts to do it themselves. We must sterilize these people.

The 65% of Trudeau lovers are probably already sterile. They are over 35, mostly female (bitter childless Karens wearing their 5 masks while huddled in ther basements).

Biden basically demanded that Trudeau crackdown. Or at least his administration did.

Let’s not lose sight of that.

“..THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CLOSE TO 10% WHO HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO OPINION.”

Yeah, it makes ya want to smack them until they do have a opinion, or stop doing polls.

You do realize that the overwhelming majority of Canadians support Trudeau’s actions?

“Two-thirds of Canadians support use of Emergencies Act and want Freedom Convoy cleared out: poll But at the same time, 54 per cent of Canadians say they are ‘ashamed’ of how politicians have let the Freedom Convoy protests get out of hand”

Did I read that right, those that disapprove of Trudcastro is almost the same as those that disapprove of FJB.
