Not at all. People up there hate him. I think the normies realized they have the power.

I'd be cautious about trusting polls..



True, they were very wrong about the election in 2016.

But in this case, I suspect they're right.


No. I was firmly against Bush and him lying us into the Iraq War. I suspect there were MANY on the right that agreed with me, and I think EVERYBODY on the left agreed with me, but that's not what the polls said.

I would bet a great number of people on "the left" think it's fucking cuckoo bananas to be teaching about LGBTQ bullshit in school, at any grade. Sex education for me is "this is the mechanism of how human beings produce children" - and that was it. That's what it should be.

Over 50, yes. Under 50, no. There is real and legit support, especially under 40, for Wokeness, including among Millies with Kids.

That's because no sane country allows Higher Ed, much less K12, to denigrate the fundamentals of the Nation.

Our viewers may recall Brigette joined us as one of the organizers behind the Truckers’ Freedom Convoy to Ottawa. While she has been more active behind the scenes, Brigette has been fighting for our rights in Canada since before the cross-border mandate came into effect. She returns to the show today from an undisclosed location.

On the personal impact the Emergency Measures Act had…

This has been the most challenging time of my life. I have an opposing view to my government. I stood up to tell them about it because they weren’t listening. They can’t say they were. I talked to Roman Baber, I talked to Randy Hillier. I was active in trying to make this work prior, I even had a complaint with CBSA on the way they treated us. The message is more severe than that. I think it’s if you don’t agree with us, if you want to stand up and have a voice, we’ll crush you, we will crush you financially. And the reason I say that is because I had to do a lot of changing financial stuff. I had a friend go pay my mortgage. I was worried about my husband’s diabetic medication, if he was going to get it or not because we had to now move money from personal accounts to pay stuff we had already put money aside for.

On how this could have all been avoided…

These mandates are still in place. You still can’t go across the border; you still can’t come back without taking the two weeks off. Your problem hasn’t gone away and it hasn’t gotten any smaller either. We’re federal workers. And if we can’t be exempt, then why can some police officers be exempt? Why can some federal workers be exempt? But we’re not exempt. We’re the ones that for eight months had no food, no showers, no toilets. And if you were really concerned about the supply chain, you would have kept us segregated from all other people and you didn’t. Truck stops were still used by regular civilians. Had they segregated us from society at the beginning, I would have understood what they’re doing better now. It’s now, you either comply with what I tell you, or there are consequences and that is his favorite line. And I just look at that and go, ‘I’m not your kid. You’re not going to bend me over and spank me’.

On your message to Canadians and the government…

First off, I guess I want to leave a message to our government. All you had to do was sit at a table and talk with us. That’s all I asked of you. I didn’t ask you to destroy the government and go to a vote. I didn’t ask for that. I asked you to drop mandates. I asked you to give me the life I’ve had for 50 years of my life before you decided to mess with it. And to all the working Canadians, I just want you to know. I may not have won when I went to Ottawa, I did my best. You have your opinion, that’s what I went to fight for, so you can have your opinion. You have the opportunity to still stand up.

Among the many myths about Canada that have been shattered is the old chestnut that, unlike the U.S., with its cutthroat Darwinian ethos, Canada is a largely egalitarian and compassionate society—the kind of place where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s “sunny ways” rule. The Freedom Convoy and the government’s heavy-handed response (“Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Tyranny,” Review & Outlook, Feb. 23), invoking the Emergencies Act to subdue peaceful civil disobedience, has cast into sharp relief class divisions bubbling under the superficially egalitarian surface of the Canadian self-image.

The class dimension becomes evident from the demeaning and charged language used by politicians and journalists in referring to the protesters. Despised by members of the Canadian elite who are often blissfully unaware of their own privilege, the protesters were considered blue-collar outcasts from the hinterland, presumptively racist and small-minded.

The class disdain comes from elites who ostensibly have an ideology from the left. In theory, they should show solidarity with the working class. In the U.K., for instance, former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has opposed vaccine mandates, as they hurt and discriminate against the working class the most.

By contrast, Canada’s Jagmeet Singh, leader of the left-wing New Democratic Party, egged on Mr. Trudeau’s emergency even before it was declared. Canadian labor unions, some of which initially opposed vaccine mandates, quickly fell in line and even marched in counterprotest. The hypocrisy and detachment from reality of Canada’s left-wing establishment stand fully exposed.

WTF? Is it not legal to donate to peaceful protest movements?

Just got this email:


Update: Freedom Convoy Trucker Funds

The Canadian government has criminalized the receiving of funds from the Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign and now are trying to seize the funds to redistribute. In order to protect our Givers and the intended purposes of their gifts, funds not already transferred to the recipients from the 'Freedom Trucker Convoy' campaign will be refunded automatically, no refund requests necessary. Additional information will be posted shortly.

Thank you for your patience.


Well, I'd rather have my money back if it can't go to the truckers, so I admire their honesty.

Trudeau faces “unprecedented” inquiry into using emergency powers against civil liberties protesters
A committee will look into the unsettling behavior.
By Christina Maas

On Monday, a joint committee of Canada’s Parliament officially launched an inquiry into the Trudeau government’s actions against the Freedom Convoy civil liberties protesters.

The “unprecedented” inquiry will look into allegations that the Trudeau government violated protesters’ Charter rights when they arrested and detained them without charge, as well as the extreme actions of freezing bank accounts of protesters.


I have no faith whatsoever in the integrity of the Canadian government anymore. Turdeau must be executed for crimes against the Canadian people with experimental drugs and for assuming dictatorial powers.

Do you have any faith in any government?

The ones I MIGHT have faith in, are ones I'm quite ignorant about, and in this climate, might get me labelled as a traitor - maybe justifiably - again, the only reason I MAY have faith in them, is I'm quite ignorant about them. More education probably would fix that.
831   Patrick   2022 Mar 16, 11:29pm  

I think some small ethnically homogeneous countries still have a reasonable amount of integrity in their governments. Maybe, say, Denmark.

I call Parnet's double standard on protests too: truckers protesting Trudeau's vaccine mandates are regular people voicing legitimate grievances but Ukrainian protests against their president reneging on his campaign promise to sign the association agreement with the EU is "muh colored revolution Soros coup!"

Not their president, as he wasn't democratically elected he was installed(lie one). No offer ever extended to join NATO, per NATO(lie two).
Soros like Putin is evil, but not an arch-enemy as this is real life. CIA would be the more appropriate primary target for blame, but in 2014, not now. Your whole statement is a confused mess of lies and events separated by many years you've somehow attempted to shoe-horn together.

This is what happens you when you abandon logic and critical thinking to embrace hatred and propaganda. I'll change my mind when you can admit Ukraine is as corrupt as Russia, Zelensky is as bad as Putin, and the US government is just as responsible for the suffering in Ukraine as the Russian and Ukrainian governments.

See, I have no problem shitting on everyone, why is that so hard for you? What do you owe these governments? What have they ever done for you?

No end in sight for federal mandates & travel restrictions.

My family and I weren't allowed to travel outside USSR until 1989. It's texbook totalitarianism. We should not accept that ~3 million Canadians have no mobility rights.
