    First off: @#$% off, Ford. Second, this continues a trend we’ve seen most prominently under the clown show that is Danielle Smith’s UCP in Alberta: Provincial governments wanting to dictate municipal affairs according to their own political agenda, which I don’t think is healthy for Canadian cities

    You can tell that the rich and powerful are really afraid of these protests spilling over into a general dissatisfaction with the status quo.

    They were, mostly, fine with the Convoy because that was a revolt of the privileged against restrictions, but this, this is more like OWS or the G20, a threat to those in charge. They know they’ve pushed things pretty far, disenfranchising people and squeezing them for everything their worth. They’re hoping they can keep us at each others’ throats and maybe benefit from a little protofascist dog-whistling, and they’re really concerned that they might lose control.

      They’ve committed the worst crime imaginable — threatening the future profits of the corporatocracy!

    Yet he was nowhere to be found during the convoy protests in Ottawa. He was even recorded to voice his support for it.

    Where is the Justice Center for Consttutional Freedom? Why aren’t they defending these protesters? Oh, right…they’re actually just a right wing troll farm that supports white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, Diagaloons, and other assholes. They don’t take on real cases of Consttutional issues.
