Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

Risk setting aside constitional protections in order to get hold of some tow trucks?

Well-reasoned.

Unless you know of another way?

So which ordinary Federal power in particular did Alberta want that wasn't already available to it?

Something in the set of things Ottawa can and does provide without resorting to invoking the EA, I suppose.

Yeah, what is that exactly?

Here's a good look. Dude already down and under control, but best to knee drop him a couple of times, just to be sure.

legislation of foreign funding of political activities

Controls on funding? Registered political parties, sure. Registered lobbyists, if we have any, maybe. Freedom of expression, including political viewpoints, no. A thousand times, no.

Well, that proves it.

Cops are not inherently racist.

Your line of argument is basically to use the EA over trivialities. Keep digging.

Well you wouldn't want to punch him 'cause you might, you know, hurt your hand....

agreed, and depending on how they write the legislation, it could also combat money laundering in the realestate market. I am not in the know for how reporting currently works for donations, but what I think would be useful is if a branch of the CRA was created that all political parties, etc had to fully report all their finances to, every line item for review annually, including where donations came from.

What the fuck are you on about? This shit is okay by you because it's done in the name of your hero? You really are a piece of shit, you know that?

So sensitive.

Its not okay, its just funny how when BIPOC are on the receiving end of police...tactics, there isn't usually so much angst.

The times you say something insightful really gets diluted by the times you feel you need to sound like an edge lord.

There is from me, sonny Jim, that shit is never on. A guy down and under control is out of the ruck no matter what colour his pelt is.

 

[Altair]

Your line of argument is basically to use the EA over trivialities. Keep digging.

And your line of argument is the government come up with some other magical way to force private corporations to do things like tow a truck.

You can tell by the body language of the cops around this that they want to be somewhere else and no deal with it.

He's absolutely under control and the cop is just dropping knees to hurt him.

Thats great to hear.

Maybe now you can see the humor in me saying that cops are not inherently racist because the person on the receiving end of this isnt, as far as i can tell, a BIPOC.

That just makes cops jerks, not racists.

Again: you're arguing possible suspension of civil liberties is OK, in order to mobilize a tow truck.

I didn't know this was a racial argument, but it was inevitable to be brought up eventually.

What, because BIPOC haven't been complaining about policing tactics for decades/centuries now?

To convoy participants, welcome to the club, or knee in this case.
