Police refused to do their jobs. Army can't be used against citizens. The truckers were warned what would happen, and they made their families pay the price. They could have ended their ridiculous occupation, which wasn't even necessary. This occupation was held because of covid restrictions in 2022 - after much of the world had already returned to normal. This was a protest based on ignorance, not well founded principles. The truckers fucked around and found out

This is a terrifying comment and you should really start re-examining your outlook on life. I really hope you are nowhere near any sort of lever of power.

There's nothing wrong with what I said, you're being overly dramatic. You really find an internet comment "terrifying"? Realy??

What should terrify you is police refusing to do their jobs.

You can't occupy a city and refuse to leave without consequences. Unfortunately the consequences are what they are for these misguided truckers. They should have had their trucks impounded permanently, because they proved that they can't be trusted not to hold a country hostage with them. This was a terrorist situation, the truckers were terrorizing citizens, and preventing emergency vehicles, and commerce. The truckers absolutely caused chaos, and so they have chaos coming to their lives too as a result. And yes, I have plenty of power, all the power I need - and I'm not even sure why you attack me this way. Apparently Trudeau had power and used it to rightfully punish terrorists.

Yes. I find it terrifying that people like you exist.

You are openly championing and celebrating elsewhere in this thread, the Canadian government _going after the families_ of the people _you say_ are terrorists because the Canadian government was unable to address the actual issue at hand?

Do you not hear yourself?

I think this is better framed as "joined the protest", from the perspective of the police. As a US analogy, sanctuary cities or states with "legalized" marijuana have police who are refusing to do their job. Should thenfederal government freeze the accounta of police officers until they do?

If the thing your doing is causing such unrest, perhaps the government shouldn't be doing that thing.
