Color me surprised.
Wow!
............................
Many are surprised at this but I’m not because although a large number of young voters are wacky as sh*t, a great percentage of them abhor police strong-arm tactics. They instinctively rebel against heavy-handed government authority. Of course there’s a downside to that mindset as we’ve seen in the violent riots and destruction over the last 24 months.

“..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.

Hold on a minute! Those morons may be the subject of scorn but they’re only fence-sitters not the real enemy. The real enemy DOES have an opinion, which is to see us imprisoned, tortured, and gassed! Sound familiar?

Instead of D vs R we are now Authoritarian vs Libertarian.

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”

What is clear is that the so-called leftists have nothing but contempt for the rights of working-class people, and fundamental rights. Respect for such rights needs to be compelled in other ways. Trudy is withdrawing the Emergencies Act authorization as it became clear he would lose the vote in the Canadian Senate. The courts in Canada will now judge the lawfulness of his actions. He may lose there as well.

Majority of Canadians support more COVID-19 restrictions for unvaccinated: poll

If that's true, it just shows how effective the media propaganda has been. In short, people have been convinced that others should get the same experimental treatment that doesn't protect them from the virus. It's an example of mass group think that will be cited by academics for years to come when people finally wake up to how they've been duped.

Pure speculation that Trudeau would lose in the Senate or the courts. It’s far more likely that the act has been rescinded because it’s no longer needed.

BTW, the 2/3 rds of all Canadians supporting the use of this act, then many working class Canadians must be included in those who do support the act.

You’re the one being duped by the anti-vaxxer conspiracy cult. The vaccines are fully approved and can not be considered experimental in any fashion. And, the vaccines do protect you from disease. (No vaccine is 100% effective.)

Trudy was plainly going to lose in the Senate, and thus he pulled the "emergency" authority. It was a clear about face.

These are the same pollsters who claimed Trump would lose the battle ground states by lopsided margins? HA HA!

The "vaccine" that was approved in the U.S., isn't available. So, people are taking the experimental treatments. Are you saying that Canada approved this snake oil?
